# Protocol Revenue

An important aspect of any initiative is ensuring its financial sustainability. Skydrome has invested considerable thought into guaranteeing that both the team and the community have a steady revenue stream.

**Swap Fees**

Trading fees generated from liquidity pools that don't have associated gauges will be directed to the tank. Once a gauge is established for a specific pool, this process is deactivated. The accumulated fees will be utilized at the team's discretion for varied purposes, such as $SKY buybacks and burns, incentivizing core pools, covering development expenses, and more.

**Protocol Owned Liquidity**

Through the inaugural liquidity-providing $SKY pool, Skydrome doesn't accrue any revenue. There will be no emissions from this pool, and upon fulfilling its intended purpose, the tokens will be terminated.

**Team Emissions**

4% of all emissions are channeled to the treasury. These $SKY tokens will serve multiple purposes as deemed appropriate by the team. This includes activities like incentivizing primary pools, financing developments, and bolstering team member voting influence, among others.

**Team Voting**

Every team member possesses their distinct $veSKY, empowering them to cast votes based on their preferences. This mechanism allows them to potentially carve out their personalized revenue source.
