Fees
Glow Finance offers a transparent fee structure, ensuring competitive rates across its ecosystem.
Main App Fees
1. Lending Pool Fee (Lending Interest Split)
When a borrower pays interest on their loan, that interest is normally paid to the depositors (i.e. users who lent their assets to the pool).
Glow takes a 20% cut from that interest as a protocol fee. So the interest paid by the borrower is split like this:
- 80% goes to the depositors as yield.
- 20% goes to Glow as a protocol fee.
Example:
If a borrower pays 100 USDC in interest over time:
- 80 USDC goes to depositors.
- 20 USDC is taken by Glow as a fee.
2. Liquidation Fee
If an account is liquidated (i.e. collateral is sold off to repay debt), Glow charges a 5% fee on the value of the assets being liquidated.
Summary:
| Action | Who Pays? | Fee Amount | Where It Goes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Borrowing | Borrower | 20% of interest | To Glow (taken from depositor yield) |
| Liquidation | Borrower | 5% of amount liquidated | To Glow |

Footnotes
- Digital assets and DeFi activity involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Smart contract, oracle, validator, counterparty, and third-party protocol risks may result in losses or delays.
- Any APY, yield, rewards, points, or incentives are variable, not guaranteed, and may change, cease, or have no value.
- Leverage magnifies gains and losses and may result in liquidation, forced deleveraging, or loss of assets.
- Audits and security reviews do not eliminate risk and are not a guarantee that the protocol is free from bugs, exploits, or losses.
- Features, supported assets, third-party integrations, routing, and thresholds are subject to availability, protocol parameters, and change.
