MintCraft Fee System
MintCraft uses a multi-phase fee system designed to protect early traders, reward creators, and ensure 100% liquidity is permanently locked.
TL;DR
| Phase | Fee | What Happens |
|---|---|---|
| Launch | 47% (configurable) | Anti-sniper protection, decays to 3% |
| Bonding Curve | 3% base | Fees split between Meteora + LP |
| Post-Graduation | 3% → 0.25% | Market cap scaling as token grows |
| Token Transfers | 2.5% (configurable) | Your chosen transfer fee on all transfers |
Phase 1: Anti-Sniper Protection (DBC)
When your token launches on the Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC), anti-sniper fees protect against bots:
How It Works
Launch → High Fee (default 47%) → Decays to 3% over ~2 hours| Setting | Default | Range | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Starting Fee | 47% | 1-99% | Fee at launch |
| Ending Fee | 3% | Fixed | Base fee after decay |
| Decay Time | 2 hours | 0.5-24h | Time to reach base fee |
Where Sniper Fees Go
- Base fee (3%): Normal LP distribution
- Excess (above 3%): 100% to The Foundry (community rewards)
This means snipers effectively donate to the community!
Phase 2: Bonding Curve Trading (DBC)
After sniper protection ends, the bonding curve operates with a 3% base fee:
Fee Distribution
3% Pool Fee
├── Meteora Protocol: 20% (0.60%)
└── LP Providers: 80% (2.40%)
├── Platform LP: 31% (~0.74%)
└── Creator LP: 69% (~1.66%)100% of liquidity is permanently locked - no rug pulls possible.
Phase 3: Post-Graduation (DAMM v2)
When your token graduates to a DAMM v2 pool, fees scale with market cap:
| Market Cap | Pool Fee |
|---|---|
| $0 - $1M | 3.00% |
| $1M - $10M | 2.00% |
| $10M - $100M | 1.50% |
| $100M - $1B | 1.00% |
| $1B - $10B | 0.50% |
| $10B+ | 0.25% |
Successful tokens = lower fees = more volume = everyone wins.
Creator Vault System
Your fees are split between direct payout and vault based on your tier:
| Tier | Direct Fee | Vault Holds | How to Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Base | 0.25% | 0.75% | Starting tier |
| Apprentice | 0.50% | 0.50% | Craft badge |
| Journeyman | 0.75% | 0.25% | Craft badge |
| Master | 1.00% | 0% | Craft badge |
