# Builder's Program Partner exchanges, aggregators, and alternative frontends can tap into VDEX's liquidity and technology through the Builder's program. This allows a protocol to soft fork VDEXCore for their own user base. If accepted, partners have the ability to: * Charge and collect 100% of their own fees * Add and remove features * Such as a social platform exchanging the darkpool for transparent leaderboards * Input and discretion on pair listings Trades on VDEX via partners continue to settle peer-to-peer on the same VDEXCore network. Soft forks and new users strengthen the decentralization of VDEX as an underlying technology layer. To apply or learn more, reach out to .
