Fees
The full fee architecture — splits, escrow, buybacks, and holder sharing.
Every fee the platform collects follows one rule: it lands in the shared,
pull-based FeeEscrow, split 30% protocol / 70% creator, and is
claimed by its recipient. The split applies to all fees — including the
creator tax, so the protocol earns a share of that too.
The two fee paths
Curve phase
Every buy and sell charges the 1% curve fee plus the launch's creator tax.
Fees accrue on the curve until sweepFees() (permissionless) moves them to
the escrow, split 30/70.
Graduated phase
The Ramses pool charges its fee tier (1% or 2%) on every swap. The locker
collects, the wrapper forwards, and handleGraduatedPoolFee applies the same
30/70 split. sweepGraduatedFees() (permissionless) moves the balances to the
escrow.
Where each share goes
| Recipient | Share | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Creator | 70% | To the per-launch creator fee recipient — or to holders pro-rata if holder fee sharing is on. |
| Protocol | 30% − RAMS cut | To the factory owner's escrow balance. |
| RAMS treasury | 10% of the protocol share | Diverted to the RamsBuybackVault; a keeper swaps it for RAMS on Ramses and locks it permanently. |
Creator buyback (optional, per launch)
A launch can dedicate a slice of the creator's share to buying the token back:
- Pre-graduation, buybacks execute against the curve's own reserves at no extra fee, capped at half the remaining sellable supply as a price-impact bound — a bad price makes the buyback no-op rather than force it.
- Bought-back tokens are locked in the
BuybackVaultand vest linearly over 5 years, then split 50/50 between creator and protocol. Never burned, never market-dumped.
Holder fee sharing (optional, per launch)
When enabled, the creator's 70% accrues to token holders pro-rata via a per-token fee accumulator instead of the creator. Excluded from the pro-rata supply: the curve itself, the graduated pool, the buyback vault, and the LP locker. Holders claim from the Claims page — both curve-phase (ETH) and graduated-phase (per-asset) entitlements.
How claiming works
See the claiming guide. In short: a keeper sweeps continuously, the Claims page offers one-click Sweep & Claim, and the escrow only ever pays out to the recorded recipient of each balance.
