Fees & cashback

Every trade pays a fee on its quote leg, in both directions. The total is the same before and after graduation, and it is fixed for the life of a launch.

The split

The cashback share comes out of the creator's money, never out of an extra charge to traders. A launch with 100% cashback and one with 0% cost a trader exactly the same.

There is also a flat ETH launch fee paid once at creation, and an anti-snipe tax that applies only in the opening seconds (it flows into the same split, so it funds the creator and their cashback mode rather than disappearing).

The four cashback modes

None

The creator keeps their whole take. Simple, and the right default if you are unsure.

Trader rebate

A share of the creator's take is credited back to whoever made the trade, in the quote token, in the same transaction. It lands as a claimable balance you withdraw whenever.

Caveat worth knowing: this only runs while the token is on its curve. After graduation, trades arrive through a router, so the contract can no longer tell who the human trader was, that share reverts to the creator. This is disclosed at creation and shown on the token page rather than buried.

Quote burn

A share is sent to the dead address, in the quote token, permanently reducing its supply. Runs before and after graduation, for the life of the token.

This mode needs no swap, no price oracle and no operator, because the fee is already the quote token, so burning it is a single transfer. It is the cleanest of the modes mechanically, and the one that gives a quote token's community a direct reason to want your launch to succeed.

Holder rewards

A share is distributed continuously to everyone holding your token, pro-rata by balance, in the quote token. No staking, no snapshots, no claim windows, no operator publishing anything. Hold the token, accrue rewards, claim whenever.

The tradeoff to understand: rewards can only be split by how much you held and for how long, and that can only be measured where balances move. So this mode, and only this mode, deploys a launch token with a transfer hook. That hook does accounting and nothing else: it cannot block a transfer, cannot change an amount, and the token still has no owner, no mint, no burn, no pause and no blacklist. Every other mode deploys the completely inert token. Transfers of a rewards token cost somewhat more gas.

Contracts that structurally hold supply (the bonding curve, the pool, the locker) are excluded from earning, so rewards go to real holders instead of being stranded in machinery. That exclusion list is fixed when the token is created and can never be edited.

Anyone can add to the reward pot by sending the quote token to the launch token address. A creator, a treasury, or a community member can fund holders directly.

Claiming

All revenue (protocol, creator, and trader rebates) lands in a pull-payment escrow. Holder rewards accrue on the token itself. In both cases you claim on your own schedule; nothing is pushed to you, which is what stops a hostile or broken recipient from being able to wedge trading for everybody else.

Creators claim from the token page or from /creator/<your address>. Holders of a rewards token claim from the token page.

Changing your mind

You cannot. Fee percentage, cashback mode and share are immutable from creation. That is the point of them: they are the deal you offered your traders, and you should not be able to change it after they have bought. The one exception is the address your creator fees are paid to, which only you can update. See trust & security.
