Velora Builder's Profit Playbook

Edition 2. Partner fees on the Velora DEX and API

Edition 2, published 15 October 2026 by Crypto Hedge HQ. Ishaqq Yorakee Ramesses Rahim wrote this as Book 4 of the Own The Layer series, after the April 2026 vote that ended VLR staking. The protocol kept routing trades. The book maps where partner fees go once staking rewards, the token share of fees, and the DAO treasury stop.

Velora offers a free partner ID and a public API. A builder can attach a fee to swaps an app sends through it, and on Delta orders keep that fee. The chapters cover routing and settlement, how to price and claim partner fees, Velora Pro plan math, ten business models on the API, and a weekly DefiLlama check. Twelve charts draw on DefiLlama data and Velora documentation.
