# Builders & Developers

The **Nectar Liquid Builder Program** provides developers, wallets, decentralized exchanges, aggregators, trading bot operators, and autonomous AI agents with the tools and revenue-sharing mechanisms required to build directly on top of Nectar Liquid on Asset Chain.

By integrating Nectar Liquid into your application, interface, or algorithmic workflow, you can monetize trade volume through custom **Builder Fees** (up to 5 bps) and earn additional monthly volume rewards.

***

### Overview & Revenue Model

When you integrate Nectar Liquid, you earn through two parallel revenue streams:

1. **Direct Builder Fees (UI Fees)**: An on-chain fee of up to **5 basis points (0.05%)** charged on the notional trading volume of every order routed through your integration.
2. **Monthly Builder Volume Rewards**: The protocol allocates a portion of protocol revenue into a monthly builder pool distributed to top builders based on verified, non-wash trading volume.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.nectarliquid.com/builders.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
