Creator Fee Rights
When a token graduates, its liquidity is locked forever — but the trading fees that liquidity earns are not. They’re split between the token’s creator and the protocol, and the creator’s share is a transferable right. The split itself depends on which venue the token graduated to.
The split
Section titled “The split”Every graduated pool charges the standard 0.30% fee on swaps, on either venue. Fees accrue to the locked LP position and are split on collection — the split depends on the token’s graduation venue:
| Venue | Token creator (fee-rights holder) | Protocol treasury |
|---|---|---|
| Thor DEX | 70% | 30% |
| Uniswap V3 | 50% | 50% |
Each split is hardcoded in that venue’s vault contract — no admin can change it, and a token’s split never changes after launch.
Claiming fees
Section titled “Claiming fees”- Fees accrue continuously as the pool trades — both in ETH and in the token.
- The fee-rights holder sees a live “Your LP fees” panel on the token page and on their portfolio, and can claim any time with one transaction.
- Claiming is permissionless in effect: collection always routes by the on-chain rules for that token’s venue; nobody can intercept or redirect your share.
Transferring fee rights (community takeover)
Section titled “Transferring fee rights (community takeover)”Creator fee rights can be handed to a new address — useful when a community takes over a token (“CTO”) or a creator wants to pass the torch. The handoff works identically regardless of graduation venue, and is deliberately two-step so rights can never be moved by accident or stolen in one signature:
- Propose — the current holder enters the recipient address. The app shows a full review of the rules before anything is signed.
- Accept — the recipient must explicitly accept the handoff from their own wallet. Until they do, the current holder keeps earning and can cancel at any time.
Rules to know:
- All fee economics follow the role. Once accepted, the new holder earns the 70% share of everything accrued from then on — and any uncollected fees at handoff time. The app warns the outgoing holder to claim first.
- Provenance never changes. The token’s original creator address stays on record permanently; only the fee-earning role moves.
- The recipient gets a persistent notification in the app (token page, portfolio, and header) so incoming handoffs are never missed.
