Trading fees
Understand Feel.cash trading fees, the recipient split, custom creator fees, launch opening protection, and the difference between trading fees and routing costs.
Feel.cash keeps trading fees simple. Every coin has one trading fee — 1.5% at the standard creator fee — and no additional Feel.cash app fee on top. The coin page shows each coin's trading fee in its stats.
The market runs on Uniswap v4. The fee applies wherever the same market is traded through a compatible route, not only inside the Feel.cash app.
This page describes coins on Base and Robinhood Chain. Solana coins use a different split.
Fee split
The fee applies to both buys and sells. At the standard 1.5% trading fee, the split is:
Creator or eligible holders (chosen at launch)
85 bps
0.85%
Feel.cash
32.5 bps
0.325%
Referrer
15 bps
0.15%
Protocol infrastructure
7.5 bps
0.075%
Total trading fee
150 bps
1.50%
For every 100 USDC-equivalent of completed buys and sells that pay the trading fee, the creator-or-holders share is 0.85 USDC-equivalent and an amount equal to 0.10 USDC-equivalent funds Every trade ticket ownership. Reverted transactions and expired or cancelled quotes produce no trading volume or fees.
The creator and referral shares are separate. A referral does not reduce Creator Fees.
If a launch has no eligible referrer, the referral share follows the fallback configured for that launch. It is not added to the creator share.
Custom creator fee
When launching, a creator can keep the standard 0.85% creator fee or choose a custom one, from 0.86% up to 3% of trading volume. The trading fee rises with it: the part that is not the creator's grows linearly from 0.65% to 1.00%, so a 3% creator fee means a 4% trading fee.

All figures are percentages of completed buy and sell volume. The referral and Every trade shares stay fixed at every rate, and protocol infrastructure is always 5% of the trading fee.
The rate is set once, at launch, and cannot be changed afterwards — it is part of the coin's onchain market. A custom creator fee requires a developer buy of at least $100: a creator who raises the fee traders pay buys into the coin first. Custom creator fees are not available on Solana or for IPOD pairings.
Coins with a custom creator fee are marked on their coin page: the trading fee in the stats carries a Higher creator fees label that shows the creator's rate and the total traders pay.
Choose who earns: Creator Fees or holder rewards
When available in the launch form, the Who earns them switch lets the launcher select Me or Holders before launching:
Me — Creator Fees
The creator
0.85% of trading volume
Holders — holder rewards
Eligible holders, shared using TWAB
None
This changes the recipient of the same 85 bps of trading volume. It does not add a second fee or split the 85 bps between creator and holders. On $10,000 of completed volume at the standard rate, $85-equivalent goes either to the creator or to the holder reward pool.
The payout asset is chosen separately where supported: USDC or the stock token. Paying holders in the supported stock token is Holder Stock Rewards. Actual settled units depend on collection, conversion, and rounding.
In holder mode, the creator earns no Creator Fees simply for launching. If they hold the coin, they can earn as an eligible holder under the same rules as everyone else. Review this choice before launch; it is not an ongoing switch to redirect an existing coin's rewards.
Holder Stock Rewards are active for IPOD, with broader launch availability being rolled out. IPOD's mixed payment arrangement is a specific exception that retains a separate creator payment; it is not the standard choice described above.
Opening protection
For the first 15 seconds after launch, the trading fee decreases linearly from 50% to the coin's normal trading fee — 1.5% at the standard creator fee.
This makes immediate opening-block sniping more expensive. It cannot stop every bot, guarantee a fair distribution, or protect the market price. Always read the current quote before trading a coin that has just launched.
Solana
A Solana coin has a 1.5% trading fee on every buy and sell. It trades on a bonding curve first and in a standard liquidity pool after graduation, and the split changes between the two.
Creator, X account, or holders (chosen at launch)

The pool-liquidity share stays in the pool.
IPOD-pairing fees
IPOD Pairings use a separate fee model. After opening protection, the total fee is 1.0527%, including protocol fees. The net 1% is split equally: 0.5% of trading volume goes to the creator or selected X account in IPOD, and 0.5% funds IPOD buybacks.
Legacy coins
Some legacy coins were created through earlier Clanker-based infrastructure and keep the fee rules frozen at their own launch. Their live trade quote and onchain market configuration are authoritative; the model above describes new Feel.cash launches.
