# Fees

The rewards that Zearn acquires through validation are divided into four sections:

* A significant 90% of all rewards is reinvested into Zearn validators.
* The remaining 10% is further divided into three parts:
  * 25% is allocated to the DAO.
  * 50% is distributed among all the operators.
  * The final 25% is directed towards insurance.

Please note, all fees are disseminated in the form of ZETA. These fee percentages are determined by the Zearn DAO and are securely stored on-chain.
