Platform-to-builder terms
How the platform share works, in plain terms.
1. The platform share is a percentage of your gross builder fee
Gross means the full builder fee that accrues to your BuilderLedger contract before any deduction - the same figure Hyperliquid reports as your builder fee income. The platform share is computed against that gross amount, not against anything left over after other deductions.
2. Affiliate and referee payouts come from your own residual
Your affiliate program is funded out of your residual (what remains after the platform share is set aside), never out of the platform share itself. Running an affiliate program changes how your residual is split with your affiliates, but it does not change what the platform is owed.
3. The platform share is applied before each merkle root is published
The platform-share obligation is computed in the off-chain accrual pipeline and applied before each merkle root is published. Every root that reaches the chain already reflects the platform's cut. Nothing is deducted after the fact or outside that pipeline.
4. Rates and inputs are published alongside every root
Floatout operates the publisher and publishes the accrual inputs and the rates in effect alongside each merkle root. Any tenant can independently recompute their entitlement leaf from that public data, with no need to trust our arithmetic.
5. The system is non-custodial
No party, including Floatout, can move user funds. Pool funds leave only through merkle-proven claims paid to the proven claimant. There is no withdraw, sweep, or admin-drain function anywhere in the contract.
