$1L Tokenomics
$1L is the native utility and governance token of the Oneliquid ecosystem.
Blockchain: Solana
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 tokens
Oneliquid introduces a tier-based VIP system linked to staking or holding the native token "1L".
Each tier (VIP 1-3) grants progressively lower execution fees, reaching 0% at the highest level.
This model is similar to centralised exchanges but implemented in a fully on-chain and transparent format.
As token holders climb tiers, they receive discounts on execution fees, priority access to dark pools, and enhanced routing limits for institutional trades.
The “Zero-Fee” condition applies only to token holders within upper VIP tiers while preserving protocol-level revenue.
Revenue Streams
1. Dark-Pool Access Fees
Access to institutional-grade dark-pool liquidity remains subscription-based.
These fees are applied to professional traders, market makers, and funds that require private execution lanes, guaranteed depth, and encrypted ultra-low latency batches.
The dark-pool layer thus operates as an infrastructure-as-a-service vertical.
2. Optimization and Routing Fees
Oneliquid performs real-time liquidity and price optimisation.
A small optimisation fee is charged as a percentage of the cost saved from superior routing.
Traders pay only when the system improves their execution price. This aligns incentives between users and the protocol.
3. Order-Flow Monetization (Optional, Future Model)
In the long-term roadmap, Oneliquid may introduce an order-flow monetization mechanism inspired by Robinhood’s payment-for-order-flow model, adapted for DeFi.
Institutional liquidity providers will be able to compensate the protocol for routing high-quality aggregated order flow through their pools.
This mechanism will remain fully transparent and opt-in, without any user data exposure or custodial risk.
Sustainability and Token Utility
The native token (1QL) functions as both the access key and value accrual mechanism of the ecosystem.
• Stakers receive a share of optimization and dark-pool fees (TBD, depends on lawyers approval).
• VIP-tier holders unlock fee discounts up to 100% (multiple tier system).
• Institutional participants can stake tokens to gain exclusive API bandwidth and private liquidity channels as well as become validators at the latest stages.
Buyback mechanisms across several revenue streams.
This creates a circular incentive structure:
