Fees and creator rewards
Every charge, who receives it, and when it applies.
| Charge | Details |
|---|---|
| Launch fee | $10 in the native coin at the on-chain price, or 10 USDC. |
| Curve trading fee | 1.25% of each trade, split 50% protocol and 50% creator. |
| First-minute protection | Fee starts at 90% and falls linearly to 1.25% over 60 seconds. The surplus above 1.25% is locked into graduation liquidity. |
| Pool fees after graduation | The exchange pool's own fee applies (1% on the Base Sepolia test pool). Fees earned by the locked position are split 50/50 between the protocol and the creator side. |
| Network gas | Always paid in the network's native coin. |
Creator share
Creators receive half of the curve trading fee and half of the locked pool position's earnings. Where a creator's reward goes is chosen at launch. Options for sharing rewards with holders are being built and tested, and their availability varies by network.
What is never paid out
The anti-snipe surplus above the base fee is locked into graduation liquidity. It is not creator or protocol revenue.
