# Partner Benefits Official Gradient partners benefit from additional incentives when participating in protocol activity. Fees collected through token pools of official partners are distributed as follows: ### 1. Market-Maker Earnings Market-makers in partner token pools earn 40% of the spread on fulfilled trades, distributed proportionally to their share of the pool. Token projects market-making their native pools will thus earn directly via order fulfillment. ### 2. Percentage of Platform Earnings Officially partnered projects earn 50% of all platform earnings collected as a result of trading on their pair. This includes the collecting of fees on all trades executed through both the Flash and Matching layers. *** This adjusted distribution for Gradient partners incentivizes the provision of liquidity by token projects directly, allowing for an increased off-market trade execution capacity. This encourages participation in the Gradient protocol, while deepening liquidity and improving sustainability for partnered token projects. {% hint style="info" %} Teams may apply to become a Gradient partner via the following URL: {% endhint %} --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
