# Protocol Revenue We made a conscious decision to raise funds for the protocol. This allows us to not charge any fees at the Protocol Level, and monetization will occur at the DApp level. We believe in [Progressive Decentralization](https://variant.fund/progressive-decentralization-a-playbook-for-building-crypto-applications/), and future monetization methods will be determined by the community. Initially, the Charged Particle Protocol generates revenue via a few primary methods. ### Deposit Fee Currently set at 0.0% We are able to charge a fee on all deposits through our protocol. Energize a Particle and add $1000 in DAI to it? That can generate $5 DAI in fees for the Charged Particles Protocol. Nearly all NFTs in existence can use our protocol to repeatedly deposit assets and generate interest. ### Particle Placements Currently TBD This allows Particle Creators to more prominently display their Particles that are for sale in the Charged Particles Market. ### 3rd Party Integration Fee Currently TBD This will allow other platforms to integrate & charge up NFTs on their platforms. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
