Creator fees
Your share of every trade on your coin, where it accrues, how to get it out, and how to split it across a team without trusting anyone to forward it.
What you earn
Your share is a percentage of the fee the pool charges, and the percentage depends on the tier and the fee you chose. The full map is on Fees and splits; the short version:
Where it sits before you collect it
This differs by tier, and it is the reason a naive dashboard reports zero for a coin that has earned real money.
| Tier | Fees accrue | In which assets |
|---|---|---|
| Pro · V3 | Uncollected, inside the position | Wrapped gas token and your own coin |
| Custom · V4 | On the hook | Always the wrapped gas token |
If a creator has deployed a team splitter, the splitter's balance is only the money that has already been collected into it. A Pro coin's uncollected position fees and a Custom coin's hook balance are both real, claimable money that a splitter-only read shows as zero. Preview all three sources.
Collecting
Fee collection is permissionless. Anyone may call it, and the proceeds always go to the recipients fixed at launch — never to the caller. There is no keeper you depend on and no queue you wait in.
- Open your dashboardConnect the creator wallet. Every launch you made is listed with what it has earned and what is claimable right now, read from chain.
- Press CollectOne transaction per coin. It pulls the accrued fees out of the position or the hook and settles both legs of the split in the same call.
- Funds land at the recipientYour treasury address, or your splitter, or whichever route you configured at launch.
Because collection is permissionless, a third party can pay the gas to collect your fees for you — and it still pays you, not them. This is why a stalled keeper can never strand a creator's earnings.
Splitting fees across a team
You can nominate a fee splitter as your treasury instead of a wallet. A splitter is deployed once, holds a fixed set of recipients and weights, and pays them out on demand.
| Property | Behaviour |
|---|---|
| Recipients | Set at deploy. Each has a basis-point weight. |
| Weights | Must total 100%. The form validates before deploying, so a bad shape is named rather than reverting on chain. |
| Who can trigger a payout | Anyone. Funds always go to the recipients. |
| Can recipients be changed? | No. Deploy a new splitter and point future launches at it. |
The treasury address is baked into the launch. Deploying a splitter afterwards does not retroactively redirect an existing coin's fees — that address is fixed. Decide on the split before you sign.
Redirecting your share entirely
On a Custom launch, your leg does not have to reach you at all. These options are mutually exclusive — turning one on clears the others — and each is described in Holder rewards:
- Holder rewards — top holders earn the leg directly.
- Auto-disperse — the leg auto-buys a reward token and a keeper pushes it to holders every 24 hours.
- Vault (Fee) — the leg buys a basket of tokens which top holders claim as dividends.
- Vault (Portfolio) — the leg buys a basket into a portfolio you own and can withdraw at any time.
- Vault (Dividend) — the leg buys the basket and holders are paid on a timer you set.
- Buyback and burn — 10% of the fee buys your own coin and sends it to the burn address.
When any routing option is on, the treasury field is disabled and the launch settles to the wallet you are connected with. That is not a limitation of the form — it is what the routed launchers encode. Launch from the wallet you want as the owner.
Fees earned on other people's trades
Two income streams exist and they are easy to confuse:
| Pool fee | Ultra routing fee | |
|---|---|---|
| Charged on | Every swap on your pool, from any router | Only swaps made through NASDANK's Ultra interface |
| Size | What you chose at launch | 1% |
| Paid to | You (80%) and the protocol | The protocol, and through it the referral programme |
As a creator, the pool fee is your income. The Ultra fee is not, and is not affected by your coin's settings.
Checking the numbers yourself
Everything above is readable on chain. Reading token state has viem recipes for uncollected position fees, hook balances and splitter balances, so you never have to trust a dashboard's arithmetic — including ours.
