Introducing Fee Collector: Automatically Aggregate Protocol Fees Into USDC

Collect protocol fees in any ERC-20 and automatically convert them into USDC, simplifying revenue management across tokens and chains.

TL;DR

• Collect fees in any ERC-20 and convert to USDC automatically.

• Teams using Gelato’s Paymaster & Bundler can enable fee collection in one click.

• Eliminates manual token swaps, fragmented balances, and operational overhead.

• Generates a single stable revenue asset with cleaner reporting and simplified invoicing.

• Available today on Ethereum, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Base, and Ink.

• Activate Fee Collector on your dashboard or schedule a call with our team.

Protocols Fees Are Operationally Intensive

Most onchain protocols monetize through charging protocol fees on swaps, trades, and transactions. Those fees are generally paid in the token the user is transacting with, resulting in:

• Fees accumulated across hundreds of different ERC-20s

• Revenue spread across multiple chains 

• Balances sitting idle until teams convert them

At scale, this becomes operationally expensive. Finance and ops teams are forced to:

• Track revenue across tokens

• Manually schedule and execute recurring swaps

• Reconcile volatile token values for accounting and reporting purposes

Fee Collector is designed to remove this complexity.

Turn Protocol Fees into Predictable USDC Revenue

Fee Collector standardizes how protocols collect and manage fees when using Gelato’s Paymaster & Bundler.

Instead of tracking balances and handling swaps manually, protocol fees are automatically converted into USDC and aggregated into a single balance daily.

With Fee Collector, teams can:

• Collect protocol fees in any ERC-20 token

• Automatically swap them into USDC every 24 hours

• Withdraw the aggregated balance from a single dashboard

Protocols benefit from:

• A single, stable revenue asset (USDC)

• No recurring manual swaps

• No extended volatility exposure

• No fragmented balances across chains

• Cleaner accounting and reporting

• Reduced operational overhead

Who It’s For

Fee Collector is built for protocols that monetize activity at scale, including:

• Exchanges collecting fees across many tokens

• DeFi protocols with multi-chain deployments

• High-volume consumer apps that accumulate small fees at scale

Fee Collector is available today on Ethereum, Arbitrum, OP Mainnet, Base and Ink, with support for additional chains planned. 

How It Works

Teams using Gelato’s Paymaster & Bundler can configure fee collection in minutes. 

1. Enable Fee Collector
Enable the fee collector from the Gelato dashboard to receive a unique fee collector address.

2. Route fees to Fee Collector

Configure your transaction flow to include a simple ERC-20 transfer that routes protocol fees to your fee collector address.

3. Automatic Daily Conversion

Every 24 hours, all collected tokens are automatically swapped to USDC.

4. Withdraw At Any Time

From the Gelato dashboard, select a receiver address and preferred chain to withdraw your aggregated USDC balance. Gelato handles any bridging automatically.

* Fee Collector requires Gelato’s Paymaster and Bundler for routing, but gas fees and protocol fees are handled separately, and only protocol fees are aggregated.
