Fee Structure
Transparent fees with a revolutionary revenue-sharing model
Overview
CoinBarrel operates on a simple, transparent fee structure that benefits the entire ecosystem. Unlike traditional launchpads that keep all fees for themselves, CoinBarrel shares revenue with both token creators and token holders—creating sustainable incentives for community participation and long-term engagement.
Industry-Leading Revenue Sharing
CoinBarrel is the only launchpad that rewards active traders and token holders with a share of trading fees. This creates a sustainable economic model where everyone benefits from platform success.
Token Creation
Creation Fee
A one-time fee to create a new token on CoinBarrel. This covers:
- • SPL token creation on Solana blockchain
- • Bonding curve contract deployment
- • Metadata storage and IPFS hosting
Trading Fees
Bonding Curve Trading Fee
Applied to all buy and sell transactions while the token is on the bonding curve (before migration to AMM). Fee distribution is configurable at token launch, allowing creators to choose how to split the remaining 50% with their community.
Fee Distribution (Configurable):
📊 Configuration Examples:
AMM Liquidity Pool Fee
Applied to all trades after the token migrates to CoinBarrel's native AMM (after bonding curve completes).
Fee Distribution Example:
Creator Bonding Rewards
When a token successfully completes its bonding curve and migrates to the AMM, the creator receives a one-time bonding reward as recognition for building a successful community:
30 SOL Curve
Paid when 30 SOL bonding threshold is reached
60 SOL Curve
Paid when 60 SOL bonding threshold is reached
Token Holder Revenue Sharing
This is what makes CoinBarrel unique! Token holders earn a share of trading fees proportional to their holdings—creating a sustainable incentive to hold and support quality projects. We prioritize rewarding active traders over deployers, with holders receiving 25-45% of all trading fees.
How It Works
- • 25-45% of bonding curve fees go to a holder pool (configurable by creator)
- • 25-45% of AMM fees go to a holder pool (configurable by creator)
- • Your share is proportional to your token holdings
- • Claim anytime from your profile page
Example Calculation
If a token generates 10 SOL in trading fees on the bonding curve:
Community-Focused (40% to holders):
Balanced (25% to holders):
How We Compare
CoinBarrel offers competitive fees with the industry's only holder revenue sharing model—our unique advantage:
| Platform | Trading Fee | Creator Fee | Protocol Fee | Holder Share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CoinBarrel | 1.00% | 0.05-0.25%* | 0.50% | ✓ 0.25-0.45%* |
| Pump.fun | 1.25%** | 0.05-0.95%** | 0.05-0.93%** | ✗ 0% |
| Other Launchpads | 1-2% | ✗ 0% | 1-2% | ✗ 0% |
* CoinBarrel's creator/holder split is configurable at token launch. Creators choose how to distribute the remaining 50% of fees (after platform cut). We favor trader rewards over deployer rewards, with holders receiving 25-45% and creators receiving 5-25% of total fees.
** Pump.fun uses a complex declining fee structure based on market cap. Creator fees start at 0.30%, peak at 0.95%, then decline to just 0.05% at high market caps. Protocol fees start at 0.93% and decline to 0.05%. The higher your token's market cap, the less creators earn—and traders get nothing at any level.
✨ CoinBarrel Advantage: Our fees are static and guaranteed at all market cap levels. Creators earn 5-25% and holders earn 25-45% regardless of token performance. You don't lose earnings as your token succeeds—everyone benefits from growth together.
🎯 Two Game-Changing Advantages
1. Static, Guaranteed Rewards at All Levels
Unlike Pump.fun where creator earnings decline as your token succeeds, CoinBarrel's fees are fixed and predictable. Earn 5-25% as a creator at every market cap—your success doesn't punish your earnings.
2. Industry-First Holder Revenue Sharing
Token holders earn 25-45% of all trading fees, creating passive income streams. On Pump.fun and other platforms, traders get 0% no matter what. We reward active community members, not just deployers.
💡 The CoinBarrel difference: Everyone benefits from token growth—creators maintain earnings, holders get rewarded, and success is truly shared.

Frequently Asked Questions
When do I receive my share of trading fees?
Trading fees accumulate automatically in real-time and are claimable anytime from your profile page. There's no minimum amount required to claim, though you may want to wait until you've accumulated enough to make the claim transaction cost-effective.
Do I need to stake my tokens to earn fees?
No! You automatically earn a share of fees proportional to your token holdings. Simply hold the tokens in your wallet—no staking, locking, or additional steps required. However, tokens must be in your wallet (not listed for sale on a DEX) to earn fees.
Can creators earn from multiple tokens?
Yes! Creators earn ongoing fees from every token they launch. If you create multiple successful tokens, you'll receive fee shares from all of them. Plus, you can also hold tokens from other creators to earn additional fee income.
Are there any hidden fees?
No hidden fees! The only costs are the 0.02 SOL token creation fee and the transparent trading fees (1% on bonding curve, 0.3% on AMM). You'll also pay standard Solana network fees (typically ~0.00001-0.0001 SOL per transaction), which go to Solana validators, not CoinBarrel.
What happens to unclaimed fees?
Your earned fees remain in the smart contract indefinitely and can be claimed at any time. They never expire and cannot be taken by anyone else. The smart contract ensures your fees are always available when you're ready to claim them.
