Creation: launching a coin is free under the current MintPad launch policy — you pay only normal Solana network costs plus any creator-selected first buy or optional Jito tip. The exact creation fee is always read from the public on-chain config.

Trading:every curve trade pays the flat fee encoded in the token’s on-chain config (tokens launched under earlier configs keep the schedule they launched with, including anti-sniper decay). The token page shows the fee read from its on-chain config when available.

Liquidity:when the curve graduates, 100% of the LP allocation migrates to Meteora DAMM v2 and is permanently locked under MintPad’s launch policy.

Creator share: the on-chain DBC config splits curve trading fees between the creator and the platform fee claimer. The split is enforced by the program rather than an off-chain payout ledger.

Every sizeable swap on any decentralized exchange briefly moves a pool’s price, and trading bots capture the difference. That happens whether or not a site does anything about it — on most launchpads the entire value goes to anonymous bots.

What we do: trades sent through MintPad carry a rebate address, so our RPC provider auctions the right to trade after you among approved searchers and returns 50% of the proceeds. Your transaction always executes first, at the price and slippage you approved. Nothing is placed ahead of it — no front-running, no sandwiching.

The split — 40 / 40 / 20: 40% to the trader whose swap created the rebate, 40% to the creator of the coin being traded, and 20% to MintPad. The provider accepts one destination per transaction, so this is not applied within a trade: each transaction pays its entire rebate to a single recipient, weighted so the shares hold on average. Any single trade pays one party in full and the others nothing.

How the recipient is chosen:a hash of the transaction’s own signature — independent of trade size, so we cannot quietly keep the large ones, and unchanged by re-submitting an already-signed transaction. Signing a new transaction for the same trade does produce a new draw, so a determined trader can re-sign until the result favours them. We disclose this rather than describe the percentages as enforced.

Creators:identified from the coin’s on-chain pool state. If a creator cannot be identified for a given trade, that rebate goes to MintPad rather than being forfeited.

No custody:rebates are paid on-chain in SOL directly to whichever wallet is designated. MintPad never holds a trader’s or creator’s share. Payments come from a third party and can change, fail, or stop; launches submitted through Jito are not eligible.

Status: newly enabled. Rebates only exist where a trade creates enough arbitrage for a searcher to bid on, which small trades on thin pools generally do not. Assume many trades will generate nothing.
