Fees
Launching is free. Trading pays the pool's 1% fee, split 80% to the creator and 20% to the protocol — a split written as immutable at deploy.
What you pay
| Amount | |
|---|---|
| Launching a token | Free (hard-capped at 0.05 ether in the contract) |
| Trading | The pool's 1% fee — the same fee every Uniswap V3 swap on that tier pays |
| Platform fee on trades | None |
ArrowPad adds no fee on top of the pool. The 1% is the Uniswap fee tier itself, and it accrues to the locked LP position rather than to us.
What the creator earns
Fees collected from the locked position are split:
| Recipient | Share |
|---|---|
| Token creator | 80% |
| Protocol treasury | 20% |
Launch something people love to trade and you earn from every swap, forever.
The split cannot be changed
creatorFeeBps is declared immutable in ArrowPadLocker. It is fixed at deploy
and there is no setter — not for us, not for anyone. Other launchpads set their
split in mutable storage and have cut it after the fact; here that is not a
question of trust, it is a question of what the bytecode can do.
Claiming is permissionless
Anyone can call collect on a locked position at any time. Payouts always go to
the creator and treasury addresses recorded at launch — whoever calls it cannot
redirect a single wei. Collection pays out both sides of the pair, so creators
receive ETH as well as their own token, not token-only.
A creator can rotate their payout address (setCreator) if their key is
compromised; only the current creator can do it.
What the protocol's 20% funds
It accrues to the treasury address recorded at deploy, and goes to two things:
- Buyback and burn. A share of it buys $ARM on the open market and sends it to the dead address. Burned ARM is provably unspendable — supply only goes down, never up.
- Running the thing. Infrastructure, RPC capacity, and development.
Every burn is an ordinary ERC-20 transfer to a dead wallet, so it is verifiable by anyone: the burn ledger reads the transfers straight off Robinhood Chain and lists every one, no matter who sent it.
$ARM is ArrowPad's ecosystem token. Burns are funded by fees the protocol has already earned — nothing is promised in advance, and the ledger shows only what has actually happened on-chain.
