Fees

The entire fee flow is public and on-chain. Creating a token is free: you only pay gas. Our revenue comes from trading and is split like this.

Trading on the curve — 1.00% per trade

Token creator0.50% of the tradeDirect reward to the launcher. Withdraw anytime.
Platform treasury (us)0.50% of the tradeDevelopment, infra and growth. Multisig. (Buybacks come from here, as policy.)

Launch protection (anti-sniper) — extra fee in the first 15 seconds

For the first 15 seconds after a token launches, buys pay an extra fee that starts at 80% and falls linearly to 0. Sells are never charged it and the normal 1% fee does not change.

It is not protocol revenue: 100% goes to the token creator. Its only purpose is to make same-block sniping unprofitable, so real buyers get a fairer entry.

Golden Hours — prize pot (Volume Rewards)

During Golden Hours (16:00–20:00 UTC), 10% of the trading fee — 0.10% of each trade — goes into that hour's prize pot. The trader with the most trading volume in the hour takes it. If nobody wins, the pot rolls over to the next hour (it grows).

It is funded from the treasury's share, NOT the creator's: during those hours the treasury takes 0.40% instead of 0.50%, and the creator still gets 0.50%. The total trading fee does not change for the user (always 1%).

After graduation — 1% of the pool

Once a token graduates to Uniswap v4, trading moves to the pool (1% fee). Those fees can be collected without withdrawing liquidity: principal stays locked forever, but accrued fees are collected and split — 70% to the token creator, 30% to the treasury. No one can rug.

Split 70% creator / 30% treasury, atomic in the same collection (no intermediary custody). Anyone can trigger it: it never withdraws liquidity, it only collects fees.

Reward coins — tax to holders

Reward tokens retain 1%–3% on every sale (curve and pool) shared in ETH pro-rata with those who stake. It is not protocol revenue — it belongs to holders.

Summary

  • Creation: free.
  • Curve trading: 1.00% → creator 0.50% · treasury 0.50%.
  • Golden Hours (16–20 UTC): the treasury gives up 0.10% to the prize pot (creator still 0.50%).
  • Anti-sniper: buys in the first 15s pay 80%→0 extra, 100% to the creator (sells exempt).
  • After graduation: 1% of the pool, split 70% to the creator / 30% to the treasury, collectable without touching locked liquidity.
  • Reward coins: tax to holders (not the protocol).
