I wonder if this means defi service providers will create a "non-profit arm" solely responsible for creating and running a frontend service Only the frontend services are categorized as brokers, and only if they make a profit So just keep that part profit-free and you're gold

defi services can still profit from other parts e.g. they can continue taking a % of staking rewards (that's the app layer, not the frontend) they can still run "searchers" to front-run customers they can still receive airdrops it's only *frontends* that mustn't make a profit

Also, zaps should not be considered as payment for any code written. We are just testing the protocol here.

IRS is a scam !
