Fees and creator earnings

The official trading fee

Pair launches specify a 2% creator tax and disable Pons buybacks. With the observed 1% Pons base fee and 30% protocol share of that base, traders pay 3% in total. Pons receives 0.3% and the creator recipient receives 2.7%.

Pons controls its own policy. The 2% and 0.7% volume equivalents depend on those terms and actual settlement; they are not an independent promise that every swap immediately produces those amounts in ETH.

The vault split

For every released ETH payment, the vault reserves 20/27 for liquidity and credits 7/27 to creator earnings. Under the fee example above, these correspond to 2% and 0.7% of official-market volume.

Integer rounding is carried forward between payments so small receipts do not systematically erase the creator share. The vault tracks creator credit separately from the liquidity allocation.

Released proceeds: 0.027 ETH
Liquidity allocation: 0.020 ETH
Creator earnings: 0.007 ETH

Allocation is not deposited liquidity

Buying assets can incur swap fees, slippage and execution costs. The value finally added to the pool can differ from the nominal allocation.

The dashboard distinguishes received funds, reserved ETH and confirmed liquidity transactions. A pending fee balance at Pons is not a completed LP addition.

Claim creator earnings

Only the recorded creator can request a creator payout from the vault. Claims use the creator-credit balance and cannot spend the liquidity reserve.

A claim requires a wallet transaction. If the destination rejects ETH, the transaction reverts and the credit remains available for a later claim.
