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, and how the distributions get paid out.
Creating a token
| Fee | Amount | What it covers |
|---|
| Basic Launch | No seed buy | No fixed setup fee. The creator just covers network and account costs. |
| Tokenomics Launch | 0.05 SOL | One-time setup fee for the advanced launch flow. |
| Network and account costs | About 0.015 SOL | Solana account rent and transaction fees. Add ~0.01 SOL on top if you also enable staking. |
| Vested supply | Variable | Depends on how much supply is vested through tokenomics — anywhere from 1% to 30%. |
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.
| Recipient | Slice of the trade | Note |
|---|
| Total trading fee | 2.0% | Charged on every bonding buy and sell. |
| Meteora protocol | 0.4% | Meteora keeps it. Not controlled by Blank. |
| Blank platform | 0.4% | 25% of the Blank-controlled portion. |
| Creator | 1.2% | 75% of the Blank-controlled portion. |
A token graduates from the bonding curve once it’s raised 85 SOL (in production).
Launch protection
New launches can opt into a short 5-minute launch-protection window. During that window, large single buys pay progressively higher fees — the bigger the buy, the steeper the cost.
| Single buy size | Effective fee | Note |
|---|
| 1 SOL | 2.0% | Basically the normal base fee. |
| 2 SOL | 3.5% | Higher, still moderate. |
| 3 SOL | 5.0% | Noticeably more expensive. |
| 5 SOL | 8.0% | Aggressive penalty for early-buy size. |
| 10 SOL | 15.5% | Heavy. Designed to discourage launch sniping. |
How it actually works: a single 5 SOL buy is sliced into five 1 SOL chunks, each priced separately — 2%, 5%, 8%, 11%, 14%. That adds up to 0.40 SOL in fees, or an 8.0% average on the order.
The point isn’t to punish normal traders. It’s to make large early sniper buys
less attractive without dragging the rest of the launch into a long cooldown.
Graduation
When a token hits 85 SOL raised (in production), it graduates from the bonding curve onto a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
| Item | Value | Note |
|---|
| Migration fee | 5% | Roughly 4.25 SOL gross at the 85 SOL production threshold. The relayer’s actual migration cost is paid first, the rest goes to platform treasury. |
| LP allocation | 25% of supply | Paired with the SOL left over after migration costs and protocol fees. |
| Bonding curve sold | 75% of supply | Already sold during the bonding phase. |
After graduation
Once graduated, the token trades on Meteora DAMM v2 with the same 2% trading fee as before.
| Recipient | Slice of the trade | Note |
|---|
| Total trading fee | 2.0% | Charged on every trade. |
| Meteora protocol | 0.4% | Meteora keeps it. |
| Blank platform | 0.4% | 25% of the Blank-controlled portion. |
| Creator | 1.2% | 75% of the Blank-controlled portion — unless staking is routing some of it. |
With staking enabled
Creators can turn on staking and decide what slice of their 75% creator share goes to stakers. That slice is configurable from 1% to 100% of the creator portion. Default is 20%.
| Recipient | Share |
|---|
| Platform | 25%, always fixed. |
| Creator | 75% minus whatever’s routed to stakers. |
| Stakers | Whatever the creator configured, while stake exists. |
A couple of examples:
- 50% staking share: platform gets 25%, creator gets 37.5%, stakers get 37.5%.
- 100% staking share: platform gets 25%, creator gets 0%, stakers get 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.
Staking can be turned on at launch or any time after. The staking share can go
up, but it can never come back down.
How distributions work
Trading fees are claimed from Meteora pools and paid out automatically every four hours. Platform, creator, and (if there’s active stake) the staking rewards pool are all paid in the same on-chain transaction.
There’s a small minimum threshold: a token’s fee vault has to hold at least 0.01 SOL before a distribution kicks off — small enough that you’ll see them frequently, big enough to keep gas costs reasonable.
