Protocol Fees

Tripools's fee model is enforced entirely at the contract level by TripoolsAntiSnipeHook and TripoolsFeeLocker. There is no off-chain promise — every split is visible in the transaction trace.

Launch fee: $0

Launching a token costs no ETH beyond gas. There is no protocol charge to create a pool, bridge secondary shares, or seed multichain relays. Triple Launch and (when enabled) Standard Launch are free at the protocol level.

Trading tax: 80% creator / 20% protocol

You set a base tax between 1% and 10% when you launch. The hook applies dynamic tiers on buys and sells, but every ordinary tax payment splits the same way:

• 80% accrues to you in ETH inside TripoolsFeeLocker — claimable anytime from your token's tax page.
• 20% (PROTOCOL_FEE_BPS) is sent immediately to the protocol treasury in the same transaction. No claim step.

Wallet-to-wallet transfers are always tax-free. Tax applies only on swaps through Tripools pools.

Anti-snipe tax: 100% protocol treasury

The flat 50% tax on non-whitelisted buys during the first 6 seconds after launch is a bot deterrent, not creator revenue. Unlike ordinary trading tax, it is never split: 100% routes to the protocol treasury.

Bridge fees

Bridging costs source-chain gas plus the LayerZero messaging fee quoted on chain. On top of that, a token still within its first hour of existence has 50% of any bridged amount diverted to the protocol treasury for price stabilization — see Bridge protection for how it's enforced and what happens to that 50%. After the first hour, there's no protocol surcharge on bridge transfers at all.

Liquidity: burned, not shared

100% of every launch's liquidity position is burned at creation. Neither the protocol nor the creator retains any LP share. There is no migration fee because there is no migration — the pool is permanent from block one.

On-chain enforcement

The hook computes each swap's tax, applies the correct split (80/20 for ordinary tax, 100/0 for snipe tax), and calls creditFees on the fee locker. You can verify every payment on chain rather than relying on UI estimates.
