Creator fees

Creators earn on every trade of their token, before and after graduation. Fees accumulate in the pons escrow and are claimed by the fee wallet with one tap.

What you earn

Every trade pays a 1% pons trading fee plus your creator tax (0–10%). pons keeps 30% of the 1%; the rest of it, plus the whole creator tax, is yours. After graduation the Uniswap pool charges nothing extra — the same split continues through the pons hook.

Where fees sit

  1. Accrued on the curve (or, after graduation, on the pool hook) until swept.
  2. Claimable in the pons escrow after a sweep.
  3. In your wallet after you claim.

Whats shows both numbers and does the sweep for you when you claim. A sweep that needs an internal swap (buybacks, or converting token-denominated fees after graduation) can only be run by pons; those fees simply show as claimable a little later.

The fee wallet

The fee wallet is set at launch and can be your Whats wallet, another WhatsApp number (their Whats wallet is created immediately and they get a notification), or any 0x address. Only the fee wallet can claim or move the fees, so choosing an outside address hands it those controls.

To move future fees later, open the token under My launches and tap 🔁 Fee wallet (or type launch:feewallet 0x…). It takes effect immediately; anything already in escrow stays with the old wallet, so claim first.

⚠️
Gas for claimingClaiming is a transaction from the fee wallet, so that wallet needs a little ETH (≈ 0.0001) for gas. A friend you named as fee wallet will need to deposit a dust of ETH before their first claim.
