  </table>
</div>

## Implementation Setup

When fetching trade quotes through our SDK, you can configure:

<div className="dk-scroll dk-scroll--tight">
  <table className="dk-table dk-table--center dk-table--tight">
    <thead>
      <tr>
        <th>Parameter</th>
        <th>Description</th>
        <th>Format</th>
      </tr>
    </thead>

    <tbody>
      <tr>
        <td>
          <span className="dk-chip">Affiliate Address</span>
        </td>

        <td>Your designated affiliate address</td>

        <td>
          <span className="dk-chip">Wallet address</span>
        </td>
      </tr>

      <tr>
        <td>
          <span className="dk-chip">Fee Percentage</span>
        </td>

        <td>Your commission rate</td>

        <td>
          <span className="dk-chip">Basis points (e.g., 100 = 1%)</span>
        </td>
      </tr>
    </tbody>
  </table>
</div>

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="JavaScript">
    ```ts theme={null}
    import { getQuote } from "@dkit/sdk";

    const quote = await getQuote({
      sellAsset: "ETH.ETH",
      buyAsset: "BTC.BTC",
      sellAmount: "1",
      affiliate: {
        address: "YOUR_AFFILIATE_ADDRESS",
        bps: 75, // 0.75%
      },
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="cURL">
    ```bash theme={null}
    curl -X POST https://api.dkit.xyz/quote \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d '{
        "sellAsset":"ETH.ETH",
        "buyAsset":"BTC.BTC",
        "sellAmount":"1",
        "affiliate":{"address":"YOUR_AFFILIATE_ADDRESS","bps":75}
      }'
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## How It Works

<ol className="dk-flow">
  <li>Earn fees from swaps executed through your front-end / dApp / wallet.</li>

  <li>
    Your affiliate address is tied to a THORName / Maya node or Chainflip
    broker.
  </li>

  <li>
    Fees can be sent automatically to your chosen address in RUNE, CACAO, or
    even USDC.
  </li>
</ol>

***

## Setting up a THORName

<Steps>
  <Step title="Register THORName">
    <p>Create your THORName to receive protocol-native fees.</p>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Link Wallet Addresses">
    <p>Attach BTC, ETH, and other chains to your THORName.</p>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure SDK">
    <p>
      Set <code>affiliate.address</code> and <code>affiliate.bps</code> in your
      quote requests.
    </p>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start Collecting Fees">
    <p>Fees accrue automatically; monitor in your analytics.</p>
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  <strong>Pro Tip: THORName Optimization</strong>

  <br />

  Keep your THORName 3 characters or shorter. THORChain transactions include
  affiliate names in the memo field; shorter names avoid issues on BTC/UTXO
  chains with \~80-character limits.
</Tip>

## DEX Aggregation Swaps

**What’s covered.** Cross-chain movements like ARC20/ERC20/SPL to assets on another blockchain.
Examples: Arbitrum → Solana (ARC20 → SPL), Ethereum → Bitcoin (ERC20 → BTC), Solana → Arbitrum (SPL → ARC20).

**Revenue Generation**

* Generate revenue from cross-chain swaps utilizing DEX aggregation.
* Includes swaps moving in and out of Chainflip, THORChain and Maya Protocol.
* Automatic revenue collection available.
