Fees
There are two kinds of fees: the one-time launch payment, and the trading tax that goes to the creator as people buy and sell.
Key facts
- Launch total is always 0.001 ETH from the launcher.
- About $1 of that goes to the creator wallet for gas.
- Trading tax is 1.5% total. Creators claim that on the coin page.
The 0.001 ETH launch
Your wallet pays 0.001 ETH once. That covers the protocol launch cost, about $1 (0.00029 ETH) to the creator wallet, and the leftover to Onboard. The creator share is so they can claim later without you sending them gas separately.
Trading tax
When people trade the coin, a 1.5% creator tax is taken. It first sits where the protocol holds fees, then moves into the creator wallet when they claim. Onboard does not keep a second balance you have to trust.
Pending vs claimable
Claimable is ready to move into the creator wallet now. Pending is earned and still on the curve. Claim sweeps it, then pulls it into the wallet. If that sweep is still with the protocol, wait a minute and try again. Launch ETH that already landed in the wallet is separate from claimable fees.
