Fees for creators

Emerald keeps creator economics simple: a small ETH launch fee, a pool fee you choose, and 70% of every pool fee flows to you forever.

What it costs

What we do not do

• We do not take a share of your token.
• We do not hold a founder allocation.
• We do not have a switch that pauses your market, and there is no tax, ever.

Fees accrue to the locked LP position. Anyone can call collectFees(tokenId) to split them 70/30 to the creator and the treasury.

Fees to holders

At launch you choose where your 70% share goes: to your wallet, or to the coin's holders. You can also switch a self-mode coin to holders later from your creator dashboard with redirectToHolders(tokenId). Both choices are permanent and one-way; once fees go to holders, the creator can never take them back.

When a coin is in holders mode, its collected fees flow to the global EmeraldHolderRewards contract. The coin-side fees are converted into the coin's paired asset (ROLEX, LAMBO, USDG or ETH) through the coin's own pool, then distributed to holders pro-rata via Merkle epochs. Holders claim their share on the coin page. Snapshots exclude the pool, burn addresses, the locker and the distributor itself.

Trust model. Holders rely on the protocol operator (the same keeper that feeds unit prices) to post correct Merkle roots; the treasury Safe can rotate that operator. A coin's dev has zero power after redirect, and funds can only ever leave the distributor through claims against a posted root.
