Fee Structure

Every fee on Blank is defined in code and verifiable on-chain. This page walks through the full token lifecycle: creation, bonding, graduation, post-graduation trading, staking, buybacks, liquidity compounding, Price Prediction, and how the distributions get paid out.

Use the Fee Calculator to project creator payouts, staking rewards, buybacks, liquidity compounding, and token position value from a market-cap and volume assumption.

​
Creating a token

​
Trading on the bonding curve

Every buy and every sell on the bonding curve has a flat 2% trading fee. Meteora keeps about 20% of that (their protocol fee) before Blank can claim the rest. A token graduates from the bonding curve once it’s raised 85 SOL (in production).

​
Launch protection

New launches can opt into a 2-minute launch-protection window. Trading opens at a 50% fee that decays exponentially back down to the normal 2% over the first two minutes. The earlier the buy, the more it costs — regardless of size. The fee steps down every 10 seconds (12 steps in total). Fees collected inside the window are split in two parts. The portion equal to the normal 2% baseline is distributed exactly like any other trading fee — 25% platform, 75% creator side. Everything above that baseline is the launch-protection premium, and it goes 100% to the platform to fund the protection. Concretely, for a fee paid at a rate of fee_bps, the premium is fee_paid × (fee_bps − 200) / fee_bps. Once the window closes and the fee is back at 2%, there is no premium and every fee splits 25/75 as usual.
This replaces the older size-based rate limiter. Snipers defeat size-based pricing by splitting a buy across many small wallets, but nobody can avoid being early. On Basic Launch every buy inside the window pays the decaying fee, including yours. On Launch With Tokenomics your dev buy is bundled into the launch transaction itself and executes at the normal 2%.

​
Graduation

When a token hits 85 SOL raised (in production), it graduates from the bonding curve onto a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.

​
After graduation

Once graduated, the token trades on Meteora DAMM v2 with the same 2% trading fee as before.

​
Creator-side fee allocations

Creators can decide what slice of their 75% creator share routes to staking rewards, Auto Buyback and Burn, Liquidity Compounding, and Price Prediction prizes. Each configured slice is 1% to 100% of the creator portion, and the four configured slices cannot exceed 100% combined. A couple of examples:
  • 50% staking share: platform gets 25%, creator gets 37.5%, stakers get 37.5%.
  • 20% staking + 10% buyback + 5% liquidity compounding + 5% Price Prediction: platform gets 25%, creator gets 45%, stakers get 15%, buyback gets 7.5%, liquidity compounding gets 3.75%, and Price Prediction gets 3.75%.
If nobody is staking at the moment, the staking slice doesn’t pile up waiting for someone to join — it just routes to the creator for that period instead.

​
Trader referral rewards

When a new trader explicitly accepts a referral, eligible net platform revenue from that trader’s authenticated Blank trades splits 20% to the referrer, 10% back to the trader as cashback, and 70% to Blank. This allocation comes from the platform side and does not change creator-side fees or add a separate trading fee. Only successful, finalized trades built and submitted through Blank count. Direct wallet and external aggregator activity is not wallet-wide attributed. There is no minimum trade size, required trading volume, or minimum claim amount. See Trader Referrals for eligibility, acceptance, and claim rules. Auto Buyback and Burn, Liquidity Compounding, and Price Prediction never redirect to the creator. Those shares accrue in dedicated on-chain buckets. Buybacks execute when the buyback bucket crosses its threshold; liquidity compounding executes only after graduation when the liquidity bucket crosses 0.1 SOL, then adds paired liquidity to the token’s Meteora DAMM v2 position and permanently locks the added liquidity. Price Prediction opens its first round at token launch and keeps filling the prize bucket while rounds are live.
Staking, Auto Buyback and Burn, and Liquidity Compounding shares can be set at launch and increased later. Price Prediction can be set only at launch and is fixed after launch.

​
What each allocation does

Staking

Routes the configured share to stakers while active stake exists. If nobody is staking, that share routes to the creator for that period.

Auto Buyback and Burn

Routes the configured share to buyback_claimable. When enough SOL accrues, Blank buys the token and permanently burns the bought amount.

Liquidity Compounding

Routes the configured share to liquidity_claimable. After graduation, Blank adds paired liquidity to the Meteora pool and permanently locks it.

Price Prediction

Routes the configured launch-time share to forecast_claimable. Daily UTC rounds pay the closest eligible holder predictions for the price 24 hours after entries lock.

​
How distributions work

Trading fees accrue in Meteora until someone progresses that token’s fee pipeline. Blank now uses pull-based claims instead of the old broad automatic payout job. When a creator claims fees from the dashboard, their wallet-paid transaction claims upstream Meteora fees for that token, books the platform / creator / staking / buyback / liquidity-compounding / forecast buckets, settles staking if staking is active, and pays the active creator-fee split recipients. Creator claims require at least 0.01 SOL in pending creator fees before the claim button is enabled. Stakers claim through the staking flow and do not need to wait for the creator. Platform treasury collection is handled separately by Blank’s daily thresholded keeper, which only touches tokens whose platform bucket is large enough or stale enough to be worth collecting. When attributable referral rewards are due, the same platform collection funds the exact reward liability before sending the remainder to treasury. Buyback, liquidity-compounding, and Price Prediction keepers run separately from creator/staker claims. Public token pages still show lifetime creator, staking, buyback, liquidity-compounding, and Price Prediction fees, paid/injected/payout amounts, vault amounts, and pending upstream fees so the totals stay visible before anyone claims.
