Fees & rewards
Understand what you fund and where creator fees go.
Launch costs
Each chain’s share of your chosen developer-buy amount covers its funding fees, launch costs, and network reserve. The amount left after those costs determines its estimated initial buy. Different chain costs mean equal-value allocations can produce different net buys.
When existing native funds cover the allocated share, no funding transfer or Relay conversion fee is needed. Otherwise Relay conversion and delivery fees are included in the funding quote, and source transaction fees fit inside the reviewed share. Launch costs still apply. Unused reserves, balances above the share, and excess delivery remain in the launch wallets.
Creator fees
Creator rewards go to the launch wallet on each chain by default. Each launchpad sets its trading fees, reward eligibility, and collection process.
- Pump.fun and Pons: creator rewards follow their respective launchpad rules, with an optional holder route.
- Four.meme: the initial buy budget includes its trade fee. Creation terms are issued and signed by Four.meme; its rules govern the launch and creator rewards.
- Clanker: launches use a 1% static pool fee, with a higher fee schedule immediately after launch to deter sniping. The protocol’s share is deducted before rewards reach recipients. Clanker’s fee and reward rules govern collection.
Rewards accrue independently on each chain, even when the launch wallets share an EVM address.
Holder rewards
Holder rewards are available for Pump.fun and Pons. Four.meme and Clanker launches use the creator-wallet route.
- Pump.fun: enables its holder rewards option. Eligibility and distributions follow Pump.fun’s rules.
- Pons: creates a holder distributor and permanently routes creator fees to it after launch. Holders claim through Pons.
