Monetization

Developers can monetize their apps by aligning with desirable outcomes for Based users:

  • Enhance Based traders' edge

  • Increase Based terminal screen time and stickiness

  • Provide an out of the world experience, create something never seen before

Monetization channels

This section will evolve over time as we figure out more meaningful ways to provide monetization channels for developers on Based terminal. For the time-being, there are 2 main channels of doing so:

  • CTA based: When orders are placed and executed via your mini-app, the trade will be attributed to your app. In doing so, we will share a portion of fees to your app.

  • Session based: If your mini-app is open in the MiniApp side panel when users are placing trades, these trades are attributed to the trading session, and you will be accorded a portion of fees to your app.
