### Redemption Fee

65-
The redemption fee is the amount of the underlying asset that the agent retains upon redemption.
66-
This fee is intended solely to cover the agent's transaction fee on the underlying chain, and therefore, it is not shared with the collateral pool.
67-
The fee percentage is defined by governance, is the same for all agents, and is typically smaller than the minting fee.
65+
The redemption fee is deducted from the amount of the underlying asset sent to the redeemer.

The fee is split between the agent and the collateral pool:

Governance calculates the percentage so that the fee to redeem one lot pays for a typical transaction fee on the underlying chain.
70-
Therefore, when larger amounts are redeemed at a single address, the agent accrues additional fees because the underlying fee for both small and large transactions is the same.
71-
However, when underlying fees are very high, the agent might still lose funds when a redemption for a small amount, such as one lot, is made.
72-
If this situation occurs frequently, governance will increase the redemption-fee percentage.
68+
- **Agent**: Receives a portion of the fee as profit for providing the redemption service.
69+
- **Collateral Pool**: Receives the remaining portion of the fee, which is minted as new FAssets and deposited into the pool, increasing value for pool token holders.
70+
71+
The fee percentage is defined in the operational parameters by governance and is the same for all agents, while the split ratio between the agent and the collateral pool is configured in each agent's settings.
