Dynamic Fees

Available on DLMM and DAMM v2.

Creators have the option to use a pool with a dynamically changing fee structure that capitalizes on launch volatility to maximize yield for LPs while protecting against sniper activity.

How does it work?

Dynamic Fee acts as a form of surge pricing based on market fluctuations and volatility.

Since demand for tokens and price volatility are often the highest at launch, Dynamic Fee would also be high. This both mitigates against aggressive sniper bot purchases while capturing more fees for the token creator and LPs in the pool.

DLMM Dynamic Fee Calculation

LPs earn a swap fee from traders when they perform a swap. The total swap fee $(f_s)$ will have two components: a base fee $(f_b)$ and a variable fee $(f_v)$.

Total swap fee $f_s = f_b + f_v$

The variable fee $(f_v)$ is a function of real-time price volatility. The fee rate will be applied to the swap amount in each liquidity bin and distributed proportionally to the LPs in that bin.

DAMM v2 Dynamic Fee Calculation

• dynamic_fee_numerator = ((volatilityAccumulator*binStep)^2 * variableFeeControl + 99_999_999_999) / 100_000_000_000

• dynamic_fee_percent = (dynamic_fee_numerator / 1_000_000_000) * 100

By default

• binStep = 1

• variableFeeControl = 2_000_000

• volatilityAccumulator is the value inside program and storage in poolState.

Which Launch Pools support Dynamic Fee?

All DLMM Launch Pools have Dynamic Fees enabled by default, while creators have the option to use (or don’t use) Dynamic Fee on DAMM v2 Launch Pools, based on their requirements.
