Token and fee model

The 4% creator fee, the 1 / 1 / 1 / 1 split, and what a trader pays versus what the protocol nets.

Pre-launch, and clear about it.
The deployed configuration splits the 4% protocol fee 1% holders, 1% liquidity, 1% staking and 1% operations, fixed in the treasury program with no setter. Staking itself is planned, phase 2: the allocation is set aside, but no staking program is deployed and nothing accepts a deposit. Values that have not been read from the chain render as a dash with the reason beside them.

The split, fixed in the program

Revenue arrives in the treasury vault as SOL. Every keeper cycle calls distribute, which cuts the pending balance at ratios compiled into the program: 25% to the holder payout reserve, 25% to the liquidity reserve, 25% to the staking wallet and 25% to the operations wallet. There is no instruction that changes them, and a constant assertion refuses to compile if they do not sum to 100%.

Read the four legs as shares of what the protocol receives, not of what a trader pays. A trader's all-in fee is larger, because the venue keeps its own cut before anything reaches the treasury. The next section sets the two numbers side by side.

Rounding dust from the split goes to holders. The vault keeps a rent floor that is never spendable and never enters the split.

Of curve volume, once the venue has taken its cut

take 4%  =  holders 1%  +  protocol liquidity 1%  +  staking 1%  +  operations 1%

What a trader pays, what the protocol nets

These are two different numbers and the difference matters. The creator fee is charged by the venue, on the curve, and the venue keeps its own cut before the remainder reaches the treasury. A trader pays 5.4375% all-in; the protocol receives about 4.002%.

Everything the four legs describe is a share of that second figure. When this guide says holders get 1% of volume, it means 25% of the 4% the protocol takes, not 25% of what the trader handed over.

The planned degen.zone tier works out as follows. It is stated before it exists; the live figures will be read from the pool configuration on chain.

  • This is a fee on the launch venue. It is not a transfer tax and it does not apply to every $FLUX trade everywhere.
  • After graduation the pool moves to Meteora DAMM v2 with a 3% quote-only fee on a position the treasury program owns; Meteora keeps 20% of that fee.
  • Protocol-owned $FLUX / stock pools on Raydium charge their own 1% tier, of which Raydium keeps 16%. That is a separate revenue stream, and the split applies to it too.

What operations and staking cover

The 1% operations leg pays the team, the keeper's transaction fees and rent, and funds later work such as stock airdrops. The 1% staking leg is separate: it is transferred to its own wallet on every distribution and is reserved for staking rewards. Neither is a holder payout and neither is ever reported as one.

No fixed yield

Payouts are whatever the fee actually bought at the prices of that quarter hour. Volume decides the size; the market decides the value. The site never quotes an annual rate, an inferred dollar figure or a projected payout, and a number it cannot read is shown as unavailable rather than as zero.
