📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Updated fee documentation in the CoW Protocol by adjusting surplus and quote-improvement fee definitions to reference a 1% total volume cap, updating the quote-improvement fee formula to use volume * 0.01, and refreshing formatting.

Changes

Fee Definitions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Surplus and quote-improvement fee definitions docs/governance/fees/fees.md	Surplus fee and quote-improvement fee definition blocks are rewritten to reference 1% of total volume as the cap for both fees. The quote-improvement fee calculation is updated to use volume * 0.01, while surplus fee retains volume * 0.0098. Eligibility criteria remain unchanged and formatting is refreshed.

In `@docs/governance/fees/fees.md`:
- Line 19: The doc currently says "capped at 1% of the total volume" under the
Definition block but the formula uses `volume * 0.0098`; update the formula to
match the stated cap by replacing `volume * 0.0098` with `volume * 0.01` and
ensure the surrounding text (the "Definition:" line stating 50% of surplus ...
capped at 1%) remains consistent with that formula.
