Dean's List: Update Liquidity Fee Structure

Summary

Dean's List DAO approved increasing their swap liquidity fee from 0.25% dynamic pool to 5% DLMM base fee (up to 10%), switching quote token from mSOL to SOL, and establishing a tiered market structure where the DAO pool captures revenue from large trades needing deep liquidity while individual LPs serve smaller trades at lower fees.

Market Data

  • Outcome: Passed
  • Proposal Account: B8WLuXqoBb3hRD9XBCNuSqxDqCXCixqRdKR4pVFGzNP
  • Duration: 2025-01-14 to ~2025-01-17
  • Current Monthly Volume: 46,228 USDC (06 Dec - 06 Jan)

Revenue Impact

  • Current daily fee revenue (0.25%): ~3.85 USDC
  • Projected daily fee revenue (5%): ~77 USDC (20x increase)
  • Conservative annual treasury growth: ~19,416 USDC
  • Optimistic annual treasury growth: ~24,960 USDC

Significance

Demonstrates futarchy-governed fee optimization for a small DAO token. The proposal creates a novel tiered market structure where the DAO captures revenue from large trades needing liquidity depth while smaller trades flow to individual LP pools at lower fees, effectively incentivizing broader market-making participation.

Summary

Increase DAO swap liquidity fee from 0.25% dynamic pool to 5% DLMM base fee (up to 10%) to generate sustainable treasury revenue.

Rationale

Current 0.25% fee insufficient to generate meaningful treasury revenue, support operational costs, or build reserves. Average daily volume ~1,541 USDC generates minimal inflow.

Implementation

  • Create DLMM pool with 5% base fee, bin step of 80
  • Change quote token from mSOL to SOL
  • Fee reclaiming done monthly by DAO treasurer (@1xraccoon)

Tiered Market Structure

  • Large trades: prefer DAO pool (high liquidity, 5% fee, less slippage)
  • Small trades: individual LP pools (lower fees ~0.25%)
  • DAO captures revenue from large trades; contributors incentivized to provide smaller pools

Growth Scenarios (with fee increase)

Scenario Volume Change Monthly Fee Revenue Annual Growth
Conservative -30% 1,618 USDC 19,416 USDC
Moderate -20% 1,849 USDC 22,188 USDC
Optimistic -10% 2,080 USDC 24,960 USDC
