Decide how your coin earns
Divide the creator share of trading fees in a way the project can explain publicly.
TL;DR
- The bonding-curve fee is 2% and the post-graduation fee is 1%; half of either fee is the creator share.
- Divide that creator share between holders, named wallets, buyback and burn, and liquidity; the total must equal 100%.
- Fees can accrue, but creator settlement, distribution actions and holder claiming are currently gated in the product.
An earnings split is more than a set of percentages. It becomes part of the token’s creator economy: who may benefit from activity around the coin, which contributors are named and what part of the market the project intends to support.
Understand the share you are dividing
While the coin is on its launch curve, trades pay a 2% fee. After graduation, the fee is 1%. In both stages, half goes to the creator side and half to the protocol.
Your earnings configuration divides only the creator half. It does not change the total fee paid by a trade.
Give each destination a clear job
| Destination | Intended role |
|---|---|
| Holder rewards | A share for eligible coin holders |
| Named wallets | Up to 20 specific wallets, including a creator or contributor |
| Buyback and burn | A share intended to buy the coin and remove it from supply |
| Liquidity | A share intended to support market liquidity |
Use a named wallet when the plan is to pay a specific person or organisation. Add a useful label so participants can understand the allocation rather than reverse-engineering an address list.
Before and after deployment
Before deployment, the split is a draft and can be revised. Deployment writes the first configuration on-chain. A later change has a seven-day delay before it takes effect, giving participants time to see what is changing.
Good to know
Accrued fees are not the same as money available to claim. Creator settlement, distribution actions and holder claiming are currently gated, so do not promise a payout date Orbit does not show.
Common questions
Does allocating 100% to holders remove the protocol share?
No. The percentages divide the creator half only. Understand where the money goes follows the complete fee flow and its action-triggered boundaries.
What if the named-wallet percentages do not total 100%?
The configuration cannot be completed until every destination adds up to exactly 100%. Recheck the intended shares and wallet addresses rather than using a filler allocation you cannot explain.
Where do I save the split during setup?
