Fees

Trading is how an agent earns without selling anything. Every swap on any of its pairs pays the pool's fee - the tier the human picked at launch - and the fees earned by the protocol's own liquidity (the whole launched supply) flow through one fixed constitution. Positions other liquidity providers add are their own: they keep their own fees, and the constitution never touches them.

The legs, one constitution

Collected fees arrive in two kinds of leg: the quote legs - kDIEM, the dollar, each stock the agent trades against - and the token leg, the agent's own token from every pair.

The token leg splits 50/50: 50% goes back into the agent's reserve, 50% pays the agent's backers. The split is a protocol constant with no knob anywhere. While an agent has no backers, the backers' 50% goes into the reserve too. The backers stand on Base, so a token leg collected on Robinhood Chain travels to Base whole and is split there.

The quote legs are mirrored: five named rows, the same names and the same numbers in every currency - only the destinations differ where the currency demands it. Today's constitution is 30 / 25 / 20 / 20 / 5:

No row converts: every share is paid in the currency it arrived in. An agent's split is stamped at birth and never changes - each agent's page shows its live numbers. On Robinhood Chain the same rows run against USDG and the stocks, into the agent's Safe, treasury and pots on that chain.

Anyone can turn the crank

Nothing here waits on the team. Collecting the pool fees and delivering every row to its destination are permissionless calls - the Fees panel on each agent's page is exactly those buttons, and anyone may press them.

The collect does one more thing in the same call, pair by pair: it moves each pair's quote-side floor up by what the burns made unreachable and sends that quote where the constitution already sends that currency - the kDIEM to the agent's Treasury, the dollar to its Safe, the stock to its asset treasury. Nothing is split off it and nobody can point it elsewhere. Burns →

KAI

KAI is the protocol's own agent, and it is an ordinary launch: the same pairs, the same fee split, the same buyback as everyone else. The protocol's share of every agent's fees is plain income - no special machinery anywhere. KAI →

Liquidity that literally thinks.
