Hey gang, is the Vortex burn still operating on BNT? I noticed the supply has been stuck at 119.5M for quite a long time and nothing is accumulating at [TokenHolder | Address 0xeBcC959479634EEC5A4d7162e36f8B8cc763f491 | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/address/0xeBcC959479634EEC5A4d7162e36f8B8cc763f491) Great to see so much traction for Carbon, but we have to keep burning as much BNT as possible for the locked LP’s! Thanks. ---

Also noticed fee records listed here, but this can’t be right as the cumulative fees graph only says about $15k in fees captured life-to-date. Knowing that millions of BNT have already been burned, this can’t the correct record. Would someone kindly to explain to me if there’s any way to monitor total fees on the Carbon network? Thank you!

Hi, please take a look at this proposal that outlines how to handle the Bancor 3 Vortex: [https://vote.bancor.network/#/proposal/0x588313a4a6c950277427bc42347182952bd5b48befb61222eec6913d51128e41](https://vote.bancor.network/#/proposal/0x588313a4a6c950277427bc42347182952bd5b48befb61222eec6913d51128e41) ---

Hi @foxsteven, thank you for pointing this out. On that proposal, the author pointed to [this tool](https://etherscan.io/readContract?m=normal&a=0xeEF417e1D5CC832e619ae18D2F140De2999dD4fB&v=0xe2a2773a1aa412f10b9f338334f2d62b25dcd1f7#readCollapse9) where pending fees can be viewed on Line 9. Currently that number says 72447.5 ETH. This can’t possibly be the correct number for “pending” fees as it would be equivalent to hundreds of millions of BNT. Could anyone please help me understand what this number in Line 9 means and how to accurately view the current pending fees? Thank you! ---

In this case it means 72,447.5 BNT. Thats just a unit converter ---

It is not stuck and to give you a comprehensive answer around the source of fees see below: 1. The Bancor Arb Fast Lane which is deployed across multiple blockchains directs 50% of the arbitrage profits back to the Bancor protocol. These fees collect in a vault and then eventually get sent to the vortex in order to be consolidated to a single token. The fees metrics for the Bancor Arb Fast Lane can be found in Dune (see link below) for most of the blockchains where it is currently deployed (although there are a few that are not there yet due to no Dune support for those blockchains) [https://dune.com/bancor/arbfastlane-ecosystem](https://dune.com/bancor/arbfastlane-ecosystem) You can read more information about the vortex and what it does here: > [@Proposal: Arb Fast Lane Vault Vortex](https://gov.bancor.network/t/proposal-arb-fast-lane-vault-vortex/4624): > > Expected on Snapshot May 12, 2024 TL;DR The Arb Fast Lane has since become a very important part of the Bancor Ecosystem. There are two components to this system Arb Fast Lane Smart Contract - where the bots feeds relevant info Arb Fast Lane Bot - Off-chain logic that anyone can run So far there are 78 callers of this decentralized system. Data can be seen at the links below: [https://dune.com/bancor/bancor-fastlane-arbitrage-bot](https://dune.com/bancor/bancor-fastlane-arbitrage-bot) The Arb Fast Lane is deployed alongside all Carbon deplo… 1. Carbon DeFi also collects fees when a strategy gets executed which the taker has to cover. The fees for Carbon DeFi are also on Dune in the link below: [https://dune.com/bancor/carbon-defi](https://dune.com/bancor/carbon-defi) These fees are also sent to the Carbon Vortex in order to be consolidated into a single token. To track the balances that the Vortex has, you can check the following smart contracts below. There are more addresses but these are currently the ones that get utilized the most and therefore see the most amount of fees. > **[Address: 0xD053Dcd7...824d79801 | Etherscan](https://etherscan.io/address/0xD053Dcd7037AF7204cecE544Ea9F227824d79801)** > > Contract: Verified | Balance: $85,534.86 across 1 Chain | Transactions: 191 | As at Nov-26-2025 06:19:36 PM (UTC) > **[Address details | Address 0x5715203B16F15d7349Cb1E3537365E9664EAf933 | Seitrace](https://seitrace.com/address/0x5715203B16F15d7349Cb1E3537365E9664EAf933?chain=pacific-1)** > > View the transactions, token transfers, Token holdings, associated address and other data for address 0x5715203B16F15d7349Cb1E3537365E9664EAf933 on SeiTrace > **[Address: 0xa15E3295...6Cd01E562 | CeloScan](https://celoscan.io/address/0xa15E3295465439A361dBcac79C1DBCE6Cd01E562)** > > Contract: Verified | Balance: $0 across 0 Chains | Transactions: 209 | As at Nov-26-2025 06:19:37 PM (UTC) > **[Address: 0xA4682A2A...0E6EaF8d5 | BaseScan](https://basescan.org/address/0xA4682A2A5Fe02feFF8Bd200240A41AD0E6EaF8d5)** > > Contract: Verified | Balance: $11,824.01 across 1 Chain | Transactions: 106 | As at Nov-26-2025 06:19:39 PM (UTC) The above covers the new flagship protocols of Bancor but there are still legacy protocols of Bancor on Ethereum (these are mainly v2.1 and v3). The v2.1 protocol sends its fees to the Bancor Vortex on Ethereum (the address is listed above). For Bancor v3, the fees collect under [pendingnetworkfeeamount](https://etherscan.io/readContract?m=normal&a=0xeEF417e1D5CC832e619ae18D2F140De2999dD4fB&v=0xe2a2773a1aa412f10b9f338334f2d62b25dcd1f7#readCollapse9) as you have already figured out. This should cover all the fees in the Bancor ecosystem.
