# PRL Fee Distribution

:::info
For the full schedule of what Parallel V3 charges today (mint, burn, redeem, bridge, flashloan) and where each fee goes, see [Fees](/products/parallel-v3/fees). This page covers the share of protocol fees redistributed to PRL stakers.
:::

One of the major innovations implemented with the PRL new tokenomics is the redistribution of a portion of the fees generated by the protocol to [PRL stakers](/governance/parallel-governance-token-prl/tokenomics/staking-mechanisms) (sPRL1 & sPRL2).

Since Tokenomics v2.1 (PIP-68), the stakers' share, 15% of Parallel V2 revenue, is sent to the DAO Keeper Multisig, swapped to USDp, bridged to Base and forwarded to the `MainFeeDistributor` there. It is then distributed to PRL stakers according to their ParaBoost. It means that PRL stakers receive their share in USDp at the end of each epoch, to be claimed on Base.

Before v2.1, the fees were converted to PAR and distributed on Polygon PoS. The epochs published there can still be claimed on Polygon PoS, in PAR, until their claim window ends.

\
The fees distributed to the PRL stakers are distributed on the same chain, regardless of the chain where the PRL tokens are staked. Each epoch's claim window is set on-chain, in the `RewardMerkleDistributor`, when the epoch is published; unclaimed rewards then return to the DAO Treasury. PIP-68 sets 6 epochs (about six months) as the target, down from 12 (about a year). Every epoch published so far, on Base and on Polygon PoS, carries a 365-day window, and a window cannot change once its epoch has started. Claiming within six epochs is therefore safe.

An epoch can distribute nothing: PGP-42, adopted in May 2026, redirected the stakers' share to PRL buybacks and burns for three months.
