Fees and rewards
In short
Every buy or sell pays a 1% fee. That fee is shared by the trading pool, holders who stake, a vault fund, the item's owner and Liquistate. No new coins are printed to pay rewards.
Where the 1% trading fee goes, and who gets what.
Words used on this page
- USDC: a digital dollar. One USDC is meant to be worth $1.
- SOL: Solana's own coin, used to pay for transactions.
- Devnet: Solana's test network. Coins there have no real value.
- Pool: a pot of coins and USDC that people trade against. A deeper pot means steadier prices.
- Staking: locking your coins for a while to earn a share of fees.
- Vesting: coins that unlock bit by bit over time instead of all at once.
Think of it like: a toll on a bridge. Every crossing pays a little, and the toll money is shared out on a fixed list.
Every buy or sell pays 1%. For a card coin it splits like this:
| Slice | Share of each trade | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Pool | 0.25% | Stays in the trading pool so it gets deeper over time |
| Stakers | 0.25% | Paid weekly to holders who stake, in SOL or USDC |
| Liquistate | 0.25% | Runs the platform; part of it tops the pool up |
| Vault fund | 0.15% | Buys more items for the vault, so backing can catch up |
| Owner | 0.10% | The item's owner, vested over time |
Each asset class has its own split:
| Class | Pool / Liquistate / stakers / reserve / owner |
|---|---|
| Cards, other collectibles | 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.15 / 0.10 |
| Real estate | 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.20 / 0.20 (property reserve) / 0.10 |
| Cars | 0.25 / 0.25 / 0.20 / 0.20 (care reserve) / 0.10 |
| Stock pairs | 0.30 / 0.30 / 0.20 / none / 0.20 (creator) |
No new coins are printed to pay rewards. Rewards only exist when people trade: a quiet coin earns little.
Example: $10,000 of trading in a day makes $100 in fees; $25 of it goes to stakers.
