<summary>If there are no trading fees how does the protocol make money?</summary>

The Variational Protocol will receive a cut of Omni's spread revenue, rather than a cut of fees. See the [Omni Liquidity Provider](https://docs.variational.io/the-omni-liquidity-provider-olp#how-do-olp-and-the-variational-protocol-make-money) page for more information.
