Your wallet owns its position

A direct deposit creates a V3 position NFT owned by your wallet. Flowbank does not take ownership of that NFT or turn your deposit into protocol capital. You can manage it through the position manager independently of this website.

The first implementation uses full-range positions. Fee attribution is based on the DEX’s actual position accounting, including price changes and fee growth.

The approved market rollout

The approved sequence is FLOW / USDG, then FLOW / SPY, followed by FLOW / NVDA and FLOW / AAPL. The initial preparation policy seeds USDG and SPY in that order; all remain unavailable until production activation.

The target split for new liquidity capital is 50% USDG, 25% SPY, 15% NVDA and 10% AAPL. Both assets in each position are funded from its allocation. Earlier phases normalize these weights across the selected markets: initially about 67% USDG and 33% SPY. Existing liquidity is not automatically sold to match a target.

Where trading fees come from

Pool income requires swaps through that pool. Flowbank can attract external flow with useful swap access, competitive liquidity and integration into routing systems. A router should use a Flowbank path only when its final quote, including fees and gas, is competitive.

Trading between protocol-controlled wallets is not new external revenue. Protocol treasury purchases, reward conversions and rebalancing have real costs and should be reported separately from external user activity. Higher displayed volume does not establish profitability.

Arbitrage trades can align prices across venues and pay pool fees, but liquidity providers may lose value to arbitrageurs. Compare fee income with inventory losses, execution costs and any incentives when assessing a market.

Capital and income stay separate

The protocol liquidity contract separately records spendable principal, collected fee inventory and pending reward allocations. Removing protocol liquidity must not label returned principal as new revenue.

Your own NFT’s fees remain yours. They do not enter the protocol’s holder or staking budget.
