# Platform fees

### Platform fees

Amphor Vault allows Web3 users to effortlessly access and generate competitive yields denominated in Ethereum (ETH), enhanced by additional layers of points from Amphor-whitelisted protocols. Accumulated rewards are automatically compounded, resulting in higher returns as long as users maintain their existing positions.

Amphor allows users to access a set of underlying DeFi protocols through a single vault interface on Amphor protocol, reducing the number of transactions required by users and thereby saving a significant amount of gas fees and time.

In order to support the maintenance and ongoing development of the Amphor protocol, the protocol DAO has set a 20% performance fee on generated yield (excl. ETH staking yield) and a 10% fee on accumulated points.

The fee collection mechanism is automatically activated at every vault settlement and requires no action from users. The APY displayed on Amphor.io UI is net of performance fees.

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

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://defivaults.gitbook.io/amphor/platform-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

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.
