# RRC 41: Response to RRC 39 - Proposed Mechanics of Secondary Fee Collection Authors: Eugene Nacu, Jana Bertram, Alex Salnikov ## [](#abstract-1)Abstract This proposal responds to [RRC 39](https://www.tally.xyz/gov/rari-foundation/proposal/102492744419805214253529798326396687684022669491137583762418006180386413791366), where the RARI DAO requested the RARI Foundation to manage secondary fee collection manually while the DAO implements multichain on-chain governance. This document outlines the mechanics of the proposed fee collection system and its implementation steps. ## [](#rationale-2)Rationale The DAO requires an interim solution to ensure secondary fees are collected efficiently across multiple ecosystems. Since fees are already established on Ethereum, implementing a structured collection mechanism will provide stability and transparency while the DAO finalizes a long-term governance framework. ## [](#motivation-3)Motivation By implementing this solution, the DAO ensures that fees are properly aggregated and transferred to the treasury, maintaining financial accountability. This also establishes a clear and operational process across multiple chains, mitigating inefficiencies and delays. ## [](#specifications-4)Specifications The RARI Foundation will manage a multisig wallet in the following ecosystems to collect secondary fees: ETHEREUM POLYGON MANTLE ARBITRUM CHILIZ LIGHTLINK ZKSYNC ASTARZKEVM BASE RARI CELO FIEF XAI KROMA ZKLINK OASYS QUAI SAAKURU OASIS PALM MATCH FIVIRE SEI CAMP LISK MOONBEAM ETHERLINK ZKCANDY ALEPHZERO BERACHAIN ABSTRACT SHAPE TELOS HEDERAEVM If additional chains are added to the Rarible Protocol in the future, RARI Foundation shall collect fees on behalf of the DAO here as well. ### [](#fee-collection-process-5)Fee Collection Process * For secondary sales paid in ETH: Fees will be bridged to the DAO treasury in ETH. * For secondary sales paid in other tokens: Fees will be swapped for USDC before bridging to the DAO treasury. * Bridging to the DAO’s treasury will be conducted at a minimum of monthly, at a maximum of quarterly, depending on the volume of the fees collected. * Foundation will record levels of collected fees as part of quarterly transparency reports. A diagram outlining the collection mechanism is attached to this proposal. ![](https://forum.rari.foundation/uploads/default/optimized/1X/f58dfac67f77e47106729d7be9b8b27c5f65ec94_2_531x500.jpeg) ## [](#steps-to-implement-6)Steps to Implement 1. DAO Approval: The DAO votes to approve the proposed fee collection mechanism. 2. Multisig Deployment: The RARI Foundation deploys multisig wallets on each of the listed chains. 3. Contract Adoption: Rarible adopts the fee collection contracts. ## [](#timeline-7)Timeline * Week 1-2: DAO discussion and approval process. * Week 3-4: Deployment of multisig wallets across ecosystems. * Week 5+: Integration with Rarible and initiation of fee collection. ## [](#costs-8)Costs * Administrative oversight required for set up and execution as well as operational costs for ongoing maintenance, will be absorbed by the Foundation’s operational budget * Transaction costs associated with bridging and swaps This system is ready for immediate implementation pending DAO approval.
