Creator Rewards
When you create a token on Popdex, you receive part of its trading fees. Rewards collect in USDC. The wallet that creates the token is the permanent reward recipient.
Each buy or sell has a 1% trading fee. Your reward comes from this fee. It is not an extra charge.
Before the token’s pool reaches 5,000 USDC after fees, you receive 85% of the trading fee. The trade that reaches this target also uses the 85% rate.
Later trades use the schedule below.
| Token Market Cap | Your share of the trading fee |
|---|---|
| $1 or less | 75% |
| $100,000 | 68% |
| $250,000 | 57.50% |
| $500,000 | 40% |
| $750,000 | 22.50% |
| $1,000,000 or more | 5% |
Between $1 and $1,000,000, your share changes at a constant rate as market cap increases.
For example, a 1,000 USDC buy has a $10 USDC fee. At $100,000 market cap, you receive $6.80 USDC in rewards.
To claim rewards:
- Open Rewards and connect the wallet that created the token.
- Click View rewards.
- Click Claim rewards for the token.
- Approve the claim in your wallet.
Each token must have at least 1 USDC in rewards before you can claim. Rewards from different tokens do not combine to meet this minimum.
You receive the full claimed USDC amount. You pay network costs and any required account setup separately in SOL.
