Creator fees
Earn on every trade of your token
0.5% of every buy and sell goes to the creator for as long as the token trades, plus, on Robinhood Chain and Arc, any tax you set. Hold Mode gives the 0.5% to buy-back and burn instead.
The platform fee
Every buy and sell pays a 2.5% platform fee: 1.5% to insurance (the token's own pool for its first 30 days, then site-wide), 0.5% to you and 0.5% to the platform. Your 0.5% is fixed for the token's whole life, on the bonding curve and after graduation to the DEX pool. On Solana the fee is 3.125% and there is no creator tax; see Launching on Solana.
Your own tax (Robinhood Chain and Arc)
- Add an optional tax of up to 10% on buys and on sells, set independently. It is paid to you in full.
- Both rates are fixed at launch. Nobody — you included — can change them afterwards, which is exactly why traders can trust them.
- Keep a side at or under 2% and you also keep your 0.5% fee share on that side. Above 2%, that side's fee share goes to the platform instead.
| 1,000 USDC trade | Base share | Tax | Creator gets |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buy, 1% buy tax | 5 | 10 | 15 USDC |
| Sell, 2% sell tax | 5 | 20 | 25 USDC |
| Sell, 5% sell tax | 0 — to platform | 50 | 50 USDC |
Or Hold Mode
Instead of your own tax you can launch in Hold Mode: trades start at 10% a side and step down at market-cap milestones, and what they pay above the platform fee burns supply, deepens liquidity and pays holders. Your 0.5% fee share buys back and burns your token for its whole life. See Hold Mode.
Reputation pays on top
Developers at or above the minimum reputation score also share a pool funded by 8% of the platform's share — 0.04% of every trade on the launchpad — weighted by how far above 59 their score is. See Developer rating.
Launching
One transaction deploys the token and its bonding curve. You choose the chain (which sets what the token is paired with), whether to use Early Lock, either both tax rates or Hold Mode and, if you like, where your fees go, and you can make the first buy yourself inside the launch transaction. The chain, Early Lock, Hold Mode and the taxes are permanent. The whole supply is minted once, to the curve; there is no mint function.
Where this stops
- You can never withdraw your token's liquidity. Only the protocol can release it, and only for a token classified Dead — in which case it goes to the platform, not to you or to holders.
- Tax above 2% on a side costs you that side's 0.5% fee share.
- A confirmed rug zeroes your reputation score, which ends any revenue share.
