Creators earn from three sources. Two are upside; one is your money back if you survive.

​
0.20% trading-fee share

Every swap on a token’s Uniswap V4 pool pays a flat 200 bps fee. That 200 bps splits four ways at the moment of the swap:
SliceBpsGoes to
Treasury65TreasuryTimelock
Prize pool95season prize pool
Mechanics25events / missions wallet
Creator20CreatorFeeDistributor (claimable by you)
The creator slice accrues to your token’s row in CreatorFeeDistributor, payable in WETH. You claim from the creator console, and WETH is sent to the configured recipient — not the wallet that triggered the claim.

​
Example — fees on Ξ50 of weekly volume

Say your token does Ξ50 of trading volume across the week. The creator share is Ξ50 × 0.20% = Ξ0.10 (≈ 250at250 at 2.5k ETH). Hit the claim button after settlement and the recipient receives Ξ0.10 in WETH.

​
When fees stop accruing

The creator-fee window closes at the earliest of:
  • 72 hours after launch (cap on dormant trade)
  • the token is filtered (cut at hour 96 or settlement at hour 168)
  • final settlement of the season
Tokens that make finals can keep accruing creator fees through the finals phase; the window closes at settlement. After that, the long-tail-trading fees route through the standard fee splits but the creator slice is no longer credited. (Long-tail policy is tracked in spec §10.3.)

​
2.5% champion bounty

If your token wins the week, the protocol takes 2.5% of the losers pot off the top — before the standard settlement split — and pays it to your configured recipient. The constant is CHAMPION_BOUNTY_BPS = 250.

​
Example — winning a Ξ4 pot

The losers pot is built from the WETH unwound from the bottom-six tokens plus the season’s accumulated trading-fee prize pool share. Suppose a quiet week ends with a losers pot of Ξ4. If your token wins:
champion_bounty   = Ξ4 × 2.5%   = Ξ0.10
remaining_pot     = Ξ4 − Ξ0.10  = Ξ3.90  (split per settlement)
Then Settlement applies the 45/25/10/10/10 split to the remaining pot — rollover to filtered holders, hold bonus reserve, mechanics, POL, and treasury all draw from Ξ3.90, not Ξ4. The bounty is paid first.The bounty scales with the pot, so a viral week with a Ξ40 pot pays a Ξ1 bounty to the winning creator.

​
Refundable launch stake

When stake mode is on, the launcher escrows an amount equal to the launch cost at launch time. The stake’s outcome is decided at Friday’s cut:
  • Top 6 (you survived) → stake refunded to the creator wallet
  • Bottom 6 (filtered) → stake forfeited to the protocol’s configured forfeitRecipient (treasury by default)
The stake isn’t a profit center — it’s your money back if you don’t get filtered early. See Launch a token for the cost formula and the launch flow.

​
Anti-gaming

Three rules prevent creators from gaming their own token:
  • No referral fees on your own token’s trades. The referral system refuses to credit a creator wallet for traffic on the token it launched.
  • Creator fees do not affect HP. The 0.20% creator slice is paid out of the pool but isn’t visible to the HP engine. You can’t pump HP by trading your own token.
  • Optional payout cap. A configurable per-token max on creator fees is available at deploy time. Default is uncapped; if turned on, the contract refuses claims past the cap.
See spec §10.6 for the full anti-gaming surface.
