Revenue Model
Nexium Revenue Model
Cross-Chain Bridge Fees
a. Transaction Fees • Nexium charges a small percentage fee (e.g., 0.1%–0.3%) on each bridge transaction across supported blockchains. • Fee amount is dynamic, based on: • Transaction volume • Network congestion • Destination chain gas cost
b. Fee Splitting Model • Fees are split across: • Protocol treasury (e.g., 40%) • Liquidity providers (e.g., 30%) • Staking reward pool (e.g., 20%) • Buyback & burn for Nexium token (e.g., 10%)
Staking and Liquidity Pools
a. Staking Lock-in Fees / Exit Penalties • Users who unstake early or opt for boosted APR pools may pay a small penalty or fee (1%–2%). • These are routed to: • Staking reward treasury • Platform revenue
b. Staking Spread (Yield Arbitrage) • Nexium may earn passive income by allocating staked liquidity into external yield farms or protocols. • The difference between earned yield and distributed rewards becomes protocol profit.
API Monetization
a. Tiered API Plans

b. High-Volume Partner Fees • Wallets, aggregators, or exchanges using Nexium’s API at scale (e.g., 10k+ daily users) are billed monthly based on volume.

Token Utilities & Internal Fees ($NEXIUM Token)
a. Gas Fee Discount / Rebates • Users who pay bridging fees in NEXIUM token get a discount (e.g., 10% off). • Nexium profits through buyback arbitrage or DEX spread.
b. Governance and Priority Access • Premium staking tiers or governance participation require NEXIUM tokens, increasing demand.
c. Buyback & Burn Mechanism • A percentage of all revenue is used to buy back NEXIUM from the market and burn it, creating deflationary pressure and value accrual.
Partner & Ecosystem Integration Fees
a. Listing Fees • New projects or tokens that want to integrate with Nexium bridge or staking pools may pay: • One-time integration/setup fee • Ongoing maintenance fee • Marketing co-partnership fees
b. Revenue Sharing • Projects integrated into the bridge may split fees with Nexium via a negotiated agreement.
