Fees & burns
One percent trading fees, settled during the swap.
Trading fees
Trades charge a 1% economic fee. Curve fees are quote-denominated. Pool fees combine quote payments with a direct burn of the launch token in the initiating swap. There is no creator burn setting, extra buyback trade or operator burn job.
| Stage | Platform | Creator | Card quote earnings | Token burn |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curve | 0.8% | 0.2% | 0% | 0% |
| Graduated pool | 0.1% | 0.2% | 0.4% | 0.3% |
| All positions retired | 0.1% | 0.2% | 0% | 0.7% |
| Collectible marketplace | 2% | — | — | — |
Direct token burns
A pool buy pays quote fees from input and burns part of token output. A pool sell burns part of token input and pays quote fees from output. The second leg compensates for the first leg’s smaller base: buy token burn is gross output × 30/9930; sell quote fee is gross output × 70/9970. Integer floors apply. Price impact is separate.
Only exact-input, fully filled pool swaps are supported. The router settles full input before swap so large input fees never depend on old pool balances. Third-party routers should use the same settlement order. Quotes use the market’s immutable lens and the same hook calculations, with all simulated changes reverted. After verified exhaustion, quote/burn rates become 30/70 basis points and the second-leg denominators change accordingly. Unknown issuance does not count as exhaustion. Token burns and quote settlement complete within the swap, including through compatible third-party routers.
Pack payment
Sealing reserves 70% of the original pack payment in BuybackReserve and pays the other 30% to the platform. A secondary sale does not change the protected amount. Keeping or letting the decision window expire releases that pack’s reserve; other packs remain fully reserved.
