The two networks

The Komodo DeFi Framework runs several peer-to-peer networks, told apart by a netid. Two of them matter here: Komodo on netid 8762 and GLEEC on netid 6133. They run the same protocol over the same coins, charge different taker fees, and cannot see each other. SwapScope treats them as two markets, because that is what they are.

Why there are two

A taker fee is not a setting, it is a consensus rule. Both sides of a swap validate that the fee they expect was paid, so a node charging 2% and a node expecting 0.13% cannot complete a trade with each other: every mixed swap fails at the fee-validation step. When GLEEC raised the rate, forcing every node on the network to upgrade in lockstep was not an option, so the framework's default netid moved instead. A node on one netid never hears a swap from the other, and the disagreement stops being a failure and becomes two separate markets.

Netid 7777 was the original Komodo DEX network and was deprecated on 2023-12-07. 8762 was the default after that until v3.0.0-beta, released on 2026-03-06, made 6133 the default. No swap on 6133 predates that release.

What each network charges

The taker fee is a separate transaction to a fee address derived from one public key per chain, sent before the swap proper. It is not part of the price the two sides agreed, which is why a reference price computed from completed swaps is a pre-fee price on both networks and directly comparable across them. What is not comparable is the cost of taking: the same trade costs roughly fifteen times more on GLEEC than on Komodo.

Which network a swap ran on

Nothing in a public swap record names the network. The upstream feed carries the maker and taker public keys, the coins, the amounts and the software versions, but no netid, so every consumer of that data has to work it out. SwapScope uses four kinds of evidence, in this order:

1. What the source itself said, on the rare occasions a source says anything.
2. The framework version on either side. The default netid changed with the major version, so 3.x means 6133 and 2.x means 8762. Measured across more than 239,000 swaps, not one paired a 3.x side with a 2.x side, which is what you would expect if the netid really is a consensus boundary.
3. An observer node of our own that sits on exactly one network. What it heard, it heard by being there.
4. The date, as a last resort: before the split there was nowhere else to be.

Where that breaks

A version string names the last tag on a branch, not the contents of the code, and the rule above assumes everyone follows the upstream numbering. A GPLv2 continuation of the framework now exists, supports both netids, takes the netid from configuration rather than a default, and numbers itself 0.x on either. Its release builds stamp a bare commit hash where a version would be. Nothing about it tells you which network it was on.

Swaps from such a build are placed by the counterparty's version or by an observer that heard them, and where neither helps they carry no network at all rather than a guess. The honest fix is a netid field in the source data. There is not one, and adding it would make the split exact for everyone reading the feed instead of each reader reverse-engineering it.

What the split means for the data

• A market is a pair on a network. A pair on the primary network keeps its plain id; the same pair on the other is written base/quote@8762, so a URL such as /pairs/RXD/LTC@8762 names one market and nothing else.
• Prices are computed per network. A USD conversion route never crosses a network boundary, because the trades it is built from never did.
• The same coin is worth different amounts on each. Not by a rounding margin either: ARRR carried $0.6281 on 8762 and $0.3831 on 6133 at the same second in September 2026.
• Nothing closes that difference. A taker on one network cannot take an order on the other, so a gap can stand for weeks. See price gaps for what the difference is today, and how much of it is two prices nobody has traded lately.
• Fees are valued at the price of the network that earned them, for the same reason.

What is not different

The coins, the protocol, and very nearly the software. The same hashed time-locked contracts, the same order books, the same wallets. One constant differs, and it is enough to make two markets that cannot reach each other. Most of the volume is still on Komodo: as of September 2026, roughly a hundred swaps there for every one on GLEEC.

How this feeds into a published price is in the methodology, and every API response carries the network it describes. The API takes netid where a figure belongs to one network.
