fees, no small print
Every fee on USDcurve is either the launch fee, the standard Uniswap V3 swap fee, or the on-chain 65/5/30 split of that swap fee. That's it.
launch fee
0.0005 ETH
one-time, at launch()
Paid when your
launch() transaction is confirmed. Covers factory deployment gas overhead. Sent to the protocol treasury.uniswap v3 swap fee
1%
every buy & sell
Standard Uniswap V3 fee tier. Accrues to the LP NFT owned by the FeeSplitter contract. Trades happen on the real V3 pool — the same fee any V3 pool at this tier charges.
how that 1% swap fee is split
Anyone can call collectFees(tokenId) on the FeeSplitter. The contract pulls accrued fees from Uniswap and pays them out in this exact ratio. Splits are hard-coded — nobody can change them.
65%
creator
Claimable by the wallet that launched the token, from the token page.
30%
protocol
Runs the platform, cron, media hosting, and future incentive programs (incl. whitelist share).
who pays what, worked example
Say the pool accumulates 0.5 ETH in swap fees over its lifetime:
- Creator earns 0.325 ETH (65%).
- Referrer earns 0.025 ETH (5%).
- Protocol earns 0.150 ETH (30%).
Whoever calls collectFees pays the gas — the payout goes to the three parties above regardless.
airdrop cost
0 ETH
baked into supply
3% of each token's supply is minted to the AirdropVault at launch. It's a token allocation, not a fee — no ETH cost.
whitelist share
5%
of protocol fees
Wallets that completed the pre-launch whitelist share 5% of the protocol's cut across their allocation.
