# Fee Tokenizer
## Tokenized Fees
Think of every token trade as a tiny toll road. When people trade a token, a small toll (fee) is collected. We use those tolls to reward the right people and keep the system strong.
### What are "Clanker fees"?
When a token is launched and traded, each swap pays a tiny fee (for example 1%). That fee is like coins dropped into a jar. Over time, the jar fills up.
**Where do the coins come from?** Every buy/sell swap.
**What decides how many coins go in?** Trading volume. More trading = more fees.
**Simple rule:** More activity → more fees in the jar.
### What are "Tokenized Fees"?
Usually, those fees are stuck in the jar—hard to share or use. Tokenized Fees turns a slice of those fees into a new ERC‑20 token called a Fee Token (FT). Think of FT like tickets that entitle you to a share of the coins in the jar.
**Projects can sell these tickets to raise funds (without selling their main token).**
**Anyone holding tickets gets their share of the jar as trades happen.**
**Analogy:** The token's trading is a lemonade stand; Tokenized Fees is selling "profit tickets" that pay out a piece of lemonade sales.
### The 1% protocol fee for $FANS stakers
Across all Tokenized‑Fee projects, we take a small 1% cut of the trading revenues. That cut flows into the $FANS vault and is paid to $FANS stakers.
**Think of this as a tiny slice from every lemonade stand on the platform going to people who stake $FANS.**
**Payouts are in WETH + launched clanker tokens + $FANS (whatever the stands are earning in).**
**Net effect:** Staking $FANS = owning a small piece of the whole network of stands.
### Why would a project tokenize fees?
**Raise funds without dilution.** Sell tickets (FT) instead of selling your main token.
**Align with usage.** Ticket payouts grow if trading grows.
**Plug into DeFi.** Tickets are standard ERC‑20s: pool, lend, stake, index.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://poolfans.gitbook.io/poolfans-docs/poolfans/fee-tokenizer.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
