Fees
Every fee in the protocol, in one table. There are no fees anywhere else — no deposit/withdrawal fees, no claim fees, no fees on transfers.
| Action | Fee | Who receives it |
|---|---|---|
| Create a token | 0.005 ETH flat | Protocol |
| Buy on a bonding curve | 1% of the ETH you pay | Protocol |
| Sell on a bonding curve | 1% of the ETH you receive | Protocol |
| Swap on a DEX pool | Pool fee tier: 0.05% / 0.30% / 1.00% | That pool’s liquidity providers |
| Swap on a graduated token’s locked pool (Thor DEX) | 0.30% | Locked-pool fees: 70% creator / 30% protocol |
| Swap on a graduated token’s locked pool (Uniswap V3) | 0.30% | Locked-pool fees: 50% creator / 50% protocol |
| Provide / withdraw liquidity | none (gas only) | — |
| Place / cancel / claim a limit order | none (gas only) | — |
| Claim creator fee rights | none (gas only) | — |
- The 1% curve fee is the platform fee, and it only applies during the bonding-curve phase. Once a token graduates (at ≈5 ETH raised), it stops entirely — trades pay the DEX pool fee instead.
- Curve fees are ETH-side only. Token amounts are never skimmed; 99% of your ETH goes into (or comes out of) the curve itself. The fee doesn’t count toward the ≈5 ETH graduation target.
- DEX swap fees go to LPs, exactly as in the Uniswap V3 model. For graduated tokens, the protocol’s locked position is typically the dominant LP, which is what funds the creator split — 70/30 on Thor DEX, 50/50 on Uniswap V3.
- Each venue’s split is hardcoded in its vault contract and cannot be changed by any admin. A creator picks the venue — and therefore the split — once, at token creation.
- Gas on Robinhood Chain is fractions of a cent per transaction and goes to the network, not to Thor Exchange.
