Fee integrity

How a brand actually earns 5%.

Every official CanSwap settlement charges the Brand Fee exactly once in the quote asset. Native CDO/Brand markets therefore accrue the fee in CDO, while ordinary wallet transfers remain free.

All AMM fees remain in pool reserves for liquidity-share owners.

Before the brand joins

The full fee belongs to the brand.

100% of the 5% Brand Fee accrues for that brand. Candao receives zero and no administrator can withdraw the balance.

After verified claim

Future fees split 2.5% / 2.5%.

The authenticated Brand Fee wallet receives 2.5% and the Candao Fee wallet receives 2.5%. Earlier accrual is never split retroactively.

Outside CanSwap

Only authorised venues guarantee the fee.

Third-party venues must integrate the fee-aware router, hook or contractual settlement policy. Unintegrated permissionless pools are clearly marked unofficial.

Required contract invariants

  1. Total supply is exactly 21,000,000; no mint, burn, blacklist or upgrade path exists.
  2. Allocation is exactly 1,000,000 Genesis, 50,000 Foundation and 19,950,000 Brand Reserve.
  3. A qualifying swap credits the 5% Brand Fee exactly once—never zero and never twice.
  4. Ordinary transfers, rewards, redemptions and liquidity deposits do not create Brand Fee.
  5. Genesis sale proceeds remain permanent CDO liquidity; a Genesis claim transfers only unsold Brand Tokens.
  6. The 0.30% AMM fee belongs entirely to LP share owners; Candao receives none of it.
  7. Claim approval cannot redirect assets: DNSSEC, treasury signature, authenticated email and the approver all bind the same immutable hash.
