Fees and earnings
Who pays what, who gets what, and how it moves.
The split
| Of 1 SOL traded | Goes to |
|---|---|
| 0.01 SOL | the fee (1%) |
| 0.002 SOL | Meteora (20% of the fee) |
| 0.004 SOL | the star (half of the partner’s 80%) |
| 0.004 SOL | the pad |
The star's share is a setting of the pad, written into each coin at launch (star_bps, 5,000 today). A later change applies to later coins only.
Harvests
Fees sit on Meteora's pool until someone harvests. harvest claims the curve's partner fees (and, once the curve is complete, the partner's share of its closing surplus, once) into a temporary wrapped-SOL account, closes it into the coin account, and pays out everything the coin account then holds above its rent: the star's share straight to the star's wallet, the rest to the pad's config account. harvest_migrated does the same for the pool position after graduation. Anyone can send either; the SOL can only go to those two places.
Being the star
Nothing to claim, nothing to sign: the SOL lands in the wallet with each harvest. Connect the star's wallet and the portfolio lists the coins launched on it and what they have paid. The pad's own share waits in its config account until claim_protocol sends it to the treasury.
