Every fee, and where it lands

IMAGINE coins launch on Raydium LaunchLab under the IMAGINE platform, which sets a 0.5% trading fee on every trade on the coin's bonding curve and names the coin's pool as the one it is paid to. It applies wherever the trade comes from — Raydium, Jupiter, a trading bot, imagine.fun — and it is enforced on-chain by Raydium LaunchLab, not by our front-end.

The fee accrues on LaunchLab and anyone can collect it into the coin's pool; our keeper does so on a schedule. When the coin graduates from its curve to a Raydium pool, that pool's fee share keeps flowing to the coin's pool the same way.

Trades through imagine.fun add 1.5% of the pair-asset side: what you spend on a buy, what you receive on a sell. The deposit that carries it rides in the same transaction as the trade and pays straight into the coin's pool, so a failed trade costs nothing and lockers are credited the moment the trade confirms. Together with the 0.5% trading fee, 2% of every imagine.fun trade reaches the pool.

The app fee is applied by the transaction our API builds. Trades elsewhere don't pay it; they still pay the 0.5%.

Raydium charges its own 0.25% LaunchLab protocol fee on curve trades, as it does for every LaunchLab coin. That fee is Raydium's and is not part of what reaches the pool.

Everything that reaches a pool, whatever the source, is divided the same way:

• 90% to lockers, streamed by weight.
• 10% to the treasury, taken off the top.
• 0% to the creator. The creator earns nothing from fees — they earn only by locking, like everyone else.

The split is frozen on the pool when it is created. Changing the platform defaults affects coins launched later and nothing else. All of it is paid in the coin's pair asset: NVDAx for an NVDAx-paired coin, SOL for a SOL-paired one.

Arrivals are released to lockers over a window, one hour by default and frozen per pool like everything else. If a fee were handed out the instant it arrived, anyone could watch a vault fill, lock a large bag a moment before, take a slice they were never present for, and leave. Streaming makes a share a function of weight held over time.

A lock can earn at most what its tokens were worth when it was opened, measured in the pair asset, times its multiplier. The price is read by the program from the coin's LaunchLab curve, or from its Raydium pool once it has migrated. A lock that reaches its ceiling stops earning and the locks still earning split what arrives.

Breaking a lock before its term costs two things:

• Unclaimed rewards are forfeited and redistributed across the remaining weight.
• A slice of principal is burned, scaled linearly by how much of the term is left. The headline rate is 25%; leaving a 100-day lock on day 50 burns half of that, and on day 99 almost nothing.

Claiming is never penalised and never touches your lock.
