# Project economy

The 8lends ecosystem includes the following economic instruments:

* *Fees*
* *Collaterals*
* *Commissions*

**8lends takes a 3% fee only in case of successfully raised pool target amount.**

The economic instruments allow redistributing the income of project participants and incentivizing their activity.

Fees are necessary to generate returns on the staking protocols.

Collaterals reduce investors' risks.

Commissions give additional profitability to the takers.
