Fees & rewards

Two percentages, two stages. The tax decides what a trade gives up. The allocation decides where the tax goes. They do not add together.

The tax rate

Each launch sets a buy tax and a sell tax, each 0% to 10%. One leg may be zero; both zero is rejected. The rates and the allocation are set at launch and can never change. The hook applies the tax on swaps only, so a wallet-to-wallet transfer pays nothing.

On top of the launch tax, the pool charges its own fee of 1%. A hook reports the two together as its base schedule per leg. That schedule is a floor, not a quote: it excludes router and service fees, gas and the opening surcharge.

The allocation

Argus reserves 10% of collected tax. The creator’s four-way split applies to the remaining 90%, and the four shares must total exactly 100% of it.

Balanced preset. These are shares of tax already collected, not extra charges on a trade.

The four destinations

• Creator funds — credited to the creator on the splitter.
• Buyback and burn — buys the launch token back and burns it.
• Dividends — funds the reward tracker that pays holders.
• Liquidity — added back to the launch’s pool.

Any destination can be zero. A launch that allocates nothing to dividends pays holders nothing.

Credited, paid, queued

Three stages. This site never adds them together.

• Credited — the splitter has accounted revenue to an account. Nothing has moved yet.
• Paid — a claim ran. Anyone may call it; it pays the account it names, not the caller.
• Queued for conversion — on the current Portal the splitter may convert selected revenue to USDC. A queued conversion is not a completed payout.

Holder dividends are separate. They are withdrawn from the reward tracker, which pays the caller in whatever asset it reports.
