How Citadel works — launches, fees, safety, and what's next.

Fees & revenue

Every trade pays a 1% fee. It's a pool fee, so it applies no matter which interface is used to trade — Citadel's own UI, a bot, or an aggregator.

Sequencer revenue

Elysium's builder program shares a portion of sequencer revenue with the applications built on it. Citadel's entire share of that goes to buying back the Citadel token — on top of the 25% that already comes from trading fees. See Citadel token.

Claiming creator fees
