# 3.1. Business Model

Flipper combines classical decentralized exchange and trading aggregator business models through several complementary monetization mechanisms:

* **Referral-based revenue from liquidity providers** — as an aggregator Flipper earns between 20% and 50% of the trading commissions generated on partner DEX platforms.
* **Aggregator commission charged for routing** and combining third-party liquidity pools to execute trades across spot markets, perpetual contracts, derivatives, and other asset classes, with a commission structure designed to remain minimal compared to competing solutions.
* **Premium access** — an additional revenue stream, providing users with extended functionality and advanced platform features.
* **Commission for AI trading bots** — a higher commission rate applied to trades executed via AI-powered trading bots, reflecting the added value of automated strategies, intelligent execution, and decision-support tools integrated into the platform.
