Fees & economics

Dibs adds no fee of its own. Everything below is Pons's standard economics, with one routing change: the creator's share goes to the tagged account's vault.

On every trade#

Fee	Rate	Goes to
Pons trade fee	1% of each trade	70% to the creator fee recipient (the vault), 30% to Pons
Creator tax	0% to 10%, set at launch	100% to the vault
Snipe tax	99% in the launch second, decaying to 0 over 3 s	Pons's launch-window protection; the launcher and their dev buy are exempt

So with no creator tax the tagged account earns 0.7% of all volume; with a 5% creator tax, 5.7%.

text

trade of 1 ETH, 0% creator tax
  Pons fee        0.0100 ETH  → 0.0070 vault, 0.0030 Pons
  creator tax     0           
  to the vault    0.0070 ETH  (0.7% of volume)

trade of 1 ETH, 5% creator tax
  Pons fee        0.0100 ETH  → 0.0070 vault, 0.0030 Pons
  creator tax     0.0500 ETH  → vault
  to the vault    0.0570 ETH  (5.7% of volume)

At launch#

Cost	Amount	Paid by
Launch fee	0.0005 ETH	The launcher, to Pons
Gas	cents	The launcher
Dev buy	Optional, in the pair asset	The launcher, into the curve

Graduation#

A coin starts on a bonding curve with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000. When the curve has raised its threshold, 4.2 ETH for ETH pairs or a per-asset amount for stocks (41.6 NVDA, 26 TSLA), Pons moves it to a Uniswap V4 pool and locks the liquidity. Trading continues there and Pons's hook keeps routing the creator's share of pool fees to the same recipient, so the vault keeps earning after graduation.

Claiming#

Step	Cost to the claimant
Sign in	Free
Wallet proof signature	Free (a message, not a transaction)
Payout transaction	The gas, taken out of the payout: ~$0.30 for a first claim (it also creates the vault), ~$0.10 after that
Stock payouts	1% of the amount, taken out of the payout

See Pairing with stocks for how these numbers apply when the quote asset isn't ETH.
