# 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>
2. USDC <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/usd-coin>
3. BUSD <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/binance-usd>
4. TUSD <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/true-usd>
5. DAI <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/dai>
6. crvUSD <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/crvusd>
7. FRAX <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/frax>
8. MIM <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/magic-internet-money>
9. LUSD <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/liquity-usd>
10. USD+ <https://www.coingecko.com/en/coins/overnight-fi-usdplus>

## Other cryptocurrencies

DerpDEX would direct the trading fees (non-stablecoins) distribution proportionally to all the stakeholders.
