Fees & earnings

There are no deposit fees, no withdrawal fees, no fee on claiming, and no hidden spread - the curve quote you see is the price you get, minus exactly the swap fee.

A creator picks the rate they earn at launch - one of eleven tiers from 0.50% to 3.00% in 0.25% steps, 1% by default - and it is immutable forever. The platform's own cut is added on top, and it is flat:

• Platform: a flat 0.30% of volume, whatever tier you pick.
• Referrals: a flat 0.05% of volume, funding the referral rail.
• Creator: everything that remains - which is exactly the rate you chose.

So the total a trader pays is your rate + 0.35%, and moving up a tier costs you nothing: every extra basis point on the fee is yours, not shared.

The unit that matters when comparing launchpads is the creator's percent of volume, not percent of the fee - and here the two are the same number by construction: at the default tier a Degenland creator banks 1.00% of every trade. The three legs always sum to the fee exactly; integer rounding dust goes to the creator's remainder, never invented or lost.

A launch that skips the fee option follows the global fee config instead of writing its own: currently a 1% fee split 25% platform / 70% creator / 5% referrals - creator-side, that is 0.70% of volume, against the 1.00% the default tier pays. The fallback exists for tokens launched before creator-set fees existed, and for venues that cannot write an arbitrary fee; on a native EVM launch the tier is always worth taking.

The global percentages are platform configuration (they can be tuned by admin transaction for future trades platform-wide); a token's own elected fee, by contrast, is beyond everyone's reach once launched.

The locked Uniswap position earns the pool's 0.30% on every DEX trade. A keeper collects periodically; each collection splits 35% to the platform and 65% to the creator, on both sides of the pair:

• the ETH side follows the token's ETH-side routing (pay creator / buyback-burn / stakers / stock, as elected at launch);
• the token side follows the token-side routing (30-day vest / burn / stakers).

Note that this is 65% of the pool's 0.30%, i.e. ~0.20% of volume - a real step down from the curve, where the creator banks their whole chosen rate. Graduating to the V4 venue below is the way to keep charging the curve's fee instead.

A native Solana launch runs on a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve, and its fee is where it beats pump.fun: the 1% trade fee splits 50% to the creator, 50% to the platform. On pump.fun a creator keeps almost nothing; here the creator keeps 0.50% of every trade's volume.

• The creator's 50% accrues on-chain and is claimable any time from the token page, straight to their own wallet.
• The platform's 50% is collected to the platform treasury automatically by a keeper - nothing for the creator to do, nothing withheld from them.
• The curve graduates at ~73 SOL raised and migrates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool whose LP is permanently locked and split 35% platform / 65% creator - the same lock shape as the EVM side. After graduation the creator earns from that locked LP position, and LP add/remove works on the token page.

This is separate from pump.fun bundle mode, which is also a Solana venue but launches on pump.fun's own curve under pump.fun's fees, not ours.

When someone signs in through your referral link, their trades credit you - the full referral leg of each of their trades, which at any creator-set fee is 0.05% of their volume (and 5% of the fee under the global config, the same 0.05% at today's 1%). Referrals are single-level: no pyramids, no decay tiers, one referrer per account, bound at sign-in.

Attribution is computed off-chain from the public trade events; payouts are on-chain: you claim from a funded vault with a signed voucher (per-claim cap 10 ETH, vault-wide daily cap 100 ETH - anti-drain bounds, not earning limits). Trades by users with no referrer leave that leg unattributed; it is swept to a dedicated community treasury that funds giveaways and airdrops, rather than accumulating unowned. The product surface for all of this is the Referrals page.

• Creator fees accrue on-chain per token and are claimable any time from the token page - during bonding and after graduation alike. Claiming pays in the token's quote asset (ETH, normally).
• The payout address is redirectable. A creator can point claims at a different wallet (a treasury, a multisig) without transferring any control over the token itself.
• Nothing is pushed. Every balance - creator, platform, referral - accrues and is pulled by its owner. A misbehaving recipient contract can therefore never block anyone else's trade or claim.
• Vested token fees (the “vest to me” routing) unlock linearly over 30 days from graduation and are claimed from the same token page.
