# 💵| Fee Distribution

In order to understand how **fees** are distributed and <mark style="color:green;">**yield**</mark> is generated on <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark><mark style="color:green;">,</mark> let's follow the example below of a user **opening a position** on the platform.

In essence, every user on <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark> will pay **Trading Fees** twice: once when they **open a position**, and once again when they **close the position**. Below you can see a breakdown of the **Trading Fees** and how they are distributed.

Meanwhile, the outcome of the trade will decide if <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark>**&#x20;Liquidity Providers** will be the ones paying the trader or if the trader will be paying them with their collateral instead.

**Trading Fees** for each user can change based on their **monthly volume**: the more volume you generate on the platform, the cheaper it is for you to trade on <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark>. The values shown on the table above are applied on the **Size** of each trade. For example:&#x20;

• If a trader opens a **$1,000** trade with **x100** leverage and they are at **Tier 0**, the size of the trade is **$100,000** and the opening fee will be **$100,000 x 0.10% = $100**. If they were at **Tier 1**, they would pay a **$90** opening fee and so on.&#x20;

**Trading Fees** are distributed to <mark style="color:green;">**Liquidity Providers**</mark>, <mark style="color:green;">**$EZX**</mark> <mark style="color:green;">**Stakers**</mark> and **Operations** that keep the platform up & running (Execution Fund).

**In summary:**

• <mark style="color:green;">**Liquidity Providers**</mark> on <mark style="color:green;">**EasyX**</mark> on earn **60%** of the **Trading Fees** generated on the platform, and **100%** of every trader's PNL: traders lose - LPs get paid, and vice versa.

• <mark style="color:green;">**$EZX Stakers**</mark> receive **30%** of the **Trading Fees** generated on the platform, which is essentially ALL **Protocol Fees.**

**•** The final **10%** of the **Trading Fees are** reserved for **Operations** that are necessary for the platform upkee&#x70;**.**
