How Creators Earn From Every Single Trade on Their Token
5 min read
You launch a token. Someone buys it. Someone else sells it. On most platforms, those trades generate fees � and the platform keeps all of them. The creator who built the community and drove the attention gets nothing. THRYX flips that model.
The Fee Split: 70/30 in Your Favor
Every trade on a THRYX token charges a 0.5% fee. Of that fee, 70% goes directly to the token creator. 30% goes to the protocol (which funds gas sponsorship so users never pay for transactions). This applies to every buy AND every sell, automatically, from the moment your token launches.
Let's Do the Math
Say your token generates 0.01 ETH in daily trading volume (roughly $25 at current ETH prices). The platform collects 0.5% = 0.00005 ETH in fees. Your cut at 70% = 0.000035 ETH per day. That's about $0.09/day or $2.63/month.
Not life-changing at low volume. But it scales linearly:
- 0.1 ETH/day volume (~$250): You earn $0.88/day = $26/month
- 1 ETH/day volume (~$2,500): You earn $8.75/day = $263/month
- 10 ETH/day volume (~$25,000): You earn $87.50/day = $2,625/month
These numbers are real math, not projections. The fee is hardcoded in the smart contract at 50 basis points with a 70% creator split. It cannot be changed without a contract upgrade.
When Do You Get Paid?
Fees accumulate on-chain in the Diamond contract. You can claim them anytime from your dashboard � there's a Claim Fees button on your token page. No minimum, no waiting period. If your token has generated 0.001 ETH in creator fees, you can claim it right now.
What Makes This Different from Other Platforms
pump.fun on Solana: Creators earn 0% of trading fees. The platform keeps everything. You launch a token, drive all the attention, and the platform captures the value.
THRYX on Base: Creators earn 70%. The economic alignment is fundamentally different � your success and the platform's success are the same thing. More volume on your token means more revenue for you AND more revenue for the protocol's gas sponsorship fund.
How to Maximize Your Earnings
- Volume is everything. Fees come from trades, not from price going up. A token that trades actively at a stable price earns more than one that pumps and dies.
- Engage your community daily. Active comment sections and social media presence drive return visits and repeat trades.
- Launch with a narrative people want to be part of. The tokens that generate sustained volume have stories, not just tickers.
- Share your token page link everywhere � it has a built-in trade panel. Every click is a potential trade, and every trade earns you fees.
- Think long-term. A token with 10 trades per day for a year earns more than one with 1,000 trades on launch day and zero after.
The Graduation Bonus
If your token reaches the graduation threshold (250M THRYX raised), it migrates to Uniswap V4 with permanent liquidity. This is the ultimate goal � your token becomes a real DEX-listed asset with deep liquidity, visible on every charting site. Only 4 out of 515 tokens have achieved this so far.
Getting Started
Creating a token on THRYX costs $0. No gas fees, no wallet setup needed � just an email. Your token is live in 30 seconds with instant liquidity on a bonding curve. From that moment, every trade earns you fees.
The question isn't whether the economics work � the math is transparent and on-chain. The question is whether you can build something people want to trade. That part is up to you.
