Where fees go
How each venue's trading fee is split, and where padpad's 10% is taken.
Every trade on a pad pays a fee once, and that fee is split between the venue, the token's creator, padpad and the pad. The venue's cut and the creator's share are never touched: padpad's 10% always comes out of the pad's part.
On the curve
The examples use each venue's default settings.
Meteora DBC
A 1% fee, with 30% of what is left after Meteora's cut going to the creator:
| Part | Share of the fee | Of each trade |
|---|---|---|
| Meteora | 20% | 0.20% |
| The token's creator | 24% | 0.24% |
| padpad | 10% | 0.10% |
| The pad's blocks | 46% | 0.46% |
The pad's fee splitter is the config's fee claimer. Each claim pays padpad and the pad's router wallet in the same transaction.
pump.fun
The fixed 1.25% fee, with the creator fee shared half and half between each token's creator and the pad:
| Part | Of each trade |
|---|---|
| pump.fun | 0.95% |
| The token's creator | 0.15% |
| padpad | 0.125% |
| The pad's blocks | 0.025% |
The pad's half of the creator fee reaches its router wallet through pump.fun's fee sharing. The router pays padpad 10% of each trade's whole fee out of it, counted trade by trade from the trades it indexes.
Raydium LaunchLab
Raydium's 0.25%, the pad's 0.75% platform fee and a 0.05% creator fee:
| Part | Of each trade |
|---|---|
| Raydium | 0.25% |
| The token's creator | 0.05% |
| padpad | 0.105% |
| The pad's blocks | 0.645% |
The splitter is the platform's fee wallet. Each claim pays padpad and the router wallet together.
After graduation
padpad takes 10% of the pool's fees too:
- Meteora DAMM v2. The pad's share of the locked liquidity earns its share of the pool fee. The splitter claims it and pays padpad 10% of the whole pool fee.
- PumpSwap. The creator fee keeps being shared between the creator and the pad, and the router keeps paying padpad 10%.
- Raydium CPMM. The pad holds the pool's liquidity as its Fee Key, so the pool's fees beyond Raydium's cut are the pad's. The splitter collects them and pays padpad 10% of the pool fee.
The pad's part, routed
Whatever reaches the router wallet is the pad's to route: its fee plan decides where it goes, and its network fees come out of it. The router shows how a pass works through it, and every pad's fees page lists what it paid.
