What this router earns, if

Every figure comes off one fee: 0.3% per settled swap, split 50/50 with the routing protocol, so DarkRoute nets 0.15%. Set the assumptions on the left and the model does the arithmetic. It is a scenario, not a forecast.

The routing protocol splits the fee 50/50. Set to 0 only if that ever changes.

At these assumptions net revenue passes $10k a month around month 24 — roughly 695 days from a standing start.

The final month assumes 347 settled swaps a day, 20× where this starts, every day, at $30 each. The opening rate of 17 a day is the assumption doing the heavy lifting here, not the growth rate.

Growth rate gets the attention. Average swap size does more work: it multiplies every period at once, while growth only compounds from wherever it starts.

Method: every figure above is arithmetic on the assumptions set in the panel — not a forecast and not a record of trading. Months are modelled as 30 days, growth compounds daily to reach the monthly rate you choose, and the fee is applied to settled volume only. Not included: holder tier discounts, cashback owed back to traders, operating cost, or venues not yet integrated.
