# Earnings sharing

Shares of protocol earnings are distributed as indicated below:

1. Stablecoin pairs
2. Other cryptocurrencies

## Stablecoin pairs

In order to capture the market shares of trading volume on zkSync for stablecoins, DerpDEX has implemented these tokens to have <mark style="background-color:yellow;">**100% fees for LP only and 0% protocol fees**</mark>. The benefits are, liquidity providers for stablecoins will get 100% of the trading fees generated.&#x20;

1. USDT <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/tether>
