Anoma has submitted a proposal to introduce a 0.25% fee on AnomaPay withdrawals, with proceeds directed toward XAN token buybacks and ecosystem funding through the Anoma Treasury. Deposits and transfers would remain free to users, who would pay only gas costs on those transactions.
The fee structure reflects a common mechanism in decentralized finance for funding protocol development and treasury operations. Revenue from the withdrawal fee would be split between token buybacks and ecosystem grants, according to the proposal discussion now open on Anoma's governance forum.
The proposal is currently in a temp-check stage, inviting community input before moving to a formal governance vote. Anoma's governance process allows token holders and community members to weigh in on protocol changes through forum discussion and subsequent on-chain voting.
AnomaPay is Anoma's payment and settlement layer. The withdrawal fee targets activity on that specific function while keeping the lowest-friction operations—deposits and transfers—untouched to reduce barriers to user adoption.
Protocol fee activation proposals have become standard in maturing blockchain ecosystems as projects move from fully subsidized operations toward self-sustaining treasury models. The Anoma community will determine whether the proposal advances to an on-chain vote.
