Why CommissionRoad?
CommissionRoad exists to empower frontend developers, content creators, and protocol integrators to contribute to the web3 ecosystem on their own terms.
The Problem: Monetization is Hard
Traditionally, monetizing a crypto interface or tool has been difficult.
- Token Tax: You launch a token, but it complicates your product and regulations.
- Hardcoded Fees: You beg protocols to add a fee switch for you, or you fork their contracts (fracturing liquidity).
- Donations: You rely on user goodwill, which is inconsistent.
The Solution: Permissionless Commissions
CommissionRoad introduces a Middleware Layer for monetization.
- Decoupled Fees: You don't need to fork a protocol to charge a fee. You just wrap the transaction in a
commissionCall. - Any Token: You can collect fees in ETH, USDC, or whatever token the user is transacting with (thanks to Permit2).
- Provable Revenue: Your
CommissionRoadNFT tracks your earnings on-chain. This effectively tokenizes your project's cash flow. - Atomic Execution: The user performs their desired action and pays you in the same transaction. If your fee isn't paid, the action doesn't happen.
Use Cases
- Alternative Frontends: Build a better UI for Uniswap/Aave/OpenSea and charge a small convenience fee.
- Curated Feeds: "Influencers" or experts can curate lists of tokens/NFTs and earn a commission when followers buy through their link.
- Embedded Wallets: Wallets can monetize every transaction they facilitate without relying on "swap markup" hackery.
- Protocol Extensions: Add new features (like auto-compounding) to existing protocols and monetize the service.
