# Market size

Due to the carbon footprint issues seen as the key obstacle to mass crypto adoption, we anticipate that at least 50% of the crypto donations market will belong to sustainability-oriented causes served by Brokoli. 

* As of May 2021, DEX trading volume is on pace to reach $5.4 trillion in 2021, and is growing at approximately 40% per month. If we assume that Brokoli will capture 10% of the market based on the users that prefer sustainability-driven solutions, our trading volume will reach $536 billion. If we further assume an average Climate Fee per transaction to be at 1%, Brokoli will collect **5.4 billion in donations** from our DEX. From that, 5% is distributed to token holders, which represents **$267.5 million in yearly income for liquidity providers.**
* DApps integrations will be an area for growth contingent on the business development efforts. The market size of dApps is expected to be $368 billion (annual growth of 56.1%) in the next 5 years. If 10% of the transaction volume is carried out with Brokoli API, this would mean an additional $36.8 billion in transaction value that could opt in for Climate Fee payments. If we assume an average 1% Climate Fee, this represents an additional **$368 million** in Climate Fee payments from dApps integrations. For liquidity providers, this would mean **$17.5 million in yearly income.** 
* The amount of direct charity donations in the crypto space are rapidly rising. A recent [report](https://cryptogivingtuesday.org/report-13300-btc-200-million-in-crypto-donated-to-charities/) showed $200 million in charity donations. We expect this market to reach $1+ billion in the next 5 years with green charities at the forefront of this increase. From that, we aim to become the go-to partner for carbon offsets as a first-mover to represent 20% of this market and additional **$200 million yearly Climate Fee**, which would generate **$8 million for liquidity providers.**
