Fees

Protocol 0.5%, creator 0–1%, transparent on every trade.

Fees are transparent. Protocol fee is fixed at 0.5%. Creators pick their share (0–1%) on the launch form; total curve fee is protocol + creator. Fees are charged in the asset the launch is priced in (ETH on the curve), not in the launch token.

Curve protocol fee: 0.5% (50 bps) to the platform.
Curve creator fee: Default 0.5% (50 bps) in the app. On-chain max 1% (100 bps) at create. Platform fee stays 0.5%; combined fee max 2%.
Default total on curve: 1% (0.5% protocol + 0.5% creator).
Deploy / create fee: 0 ETH. You pay network gas only.
Graduated DEX (Uniswap V4): Default live pools use a fixed 0.3% fee (no hook). When TrancepadLpHook is enabled post-audit, new graduations use a dynamic LP fee (0.05%–1.0%) scaled by recent tick volatility. Legacy no-hook tokens keep 0.3%.
USDG on curve: About 1.3% all-in: curve fee plus a Uniswap V3 USDG↔WETH hop via LaunchZap.
Default UI slippage: 1% (100 bps). Adjustable per trade.
V4 LP fee collection: After graduation, pool fees can be collected via LiquidityLocker.collectV4 and split between platform and creator (works for both fixed and dynamic-fee pools).
TrancepadLpHook: Optional Uniswap V4 beforeSwap/afterSwap hook that overrides the LP fee per swap. Graduations store per-token lpHook so quote/swap rebuild the correct PoolKey. Audit-gated before mainnet enable.

Creator fee bps are fixed at create and cannot be raised later. Read the token's fee before you trade.
