Fees
Last updated 5 November 2026
Fees, all of them, on one page
The trade fee is 1% on every Minos token, split 0.50% to the creator and 0.50% to the platform, from the first trade to the last. The same fee on every token, so nobody has to check before they trade.
| Fee | Total | To the creator | To the platform | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Curve trade Every buy and sell before graduation |
1.00% | 0.50% | 0.50% | The same on every token. The creator earns from the very first trade. |
| Router trade Trades through the Minos router after graduation |
0.25% | 0.10% | 0.15% | Fixed at 0.25% for every token, so a graduated creator keeps earning. Staked pass holders pay 0.17% here: the platform share drops from 0.15% to 0.07%. Trades that reach the pool through other apps pay that app's fee, not ours. |
| Creating a token | 0 | – | – | You pay network gas in HYPE, and nothing to us. |
| Graduation | 0 | – | – | No flat graduation fee. The boost comes out of the raise itself, in the open. |
A 10 HYPE buy, line by line
With a pass staked, the platform's half drops to 0.25%, so the same buy costs 0.075 HYPE in fees and 9.925 HYPE goes into the curve.
Where the platform's half goes
- 35% to MINOS PASS holders, after referral payouts, through the pool on the pass page. Only staked passes share the pool. Each one earns from the moment it stakes. Holders claim from the contract themselves, as often as once every 6 hours.
- Referrals: 10% of the platform fee on a referred trade goes to the referrer, 20% if the referrer has a pass staked. Paid only from fees that actually come in. A wallet cannot be its own referrer.
- The rest runs the platform: servers, development, and an audit fund we set aside from revenue and do not spend on anything else. That audit is a planned step before the mainnet pass sale, and it is not paid for out of user funds.
Nothing is carved out of the creator's half, ever. The discount and the referral come out of our side, because they are our marketing, not the creator's.
The fee split, on your volume
Enter a curve volume to see the split. The referral and the pass pool come out of the platform's half only.
The referral rate is taken from the platform's share first, before the pass pool's 35%.
What we will not do with fees
No second fee stacked on top later
Some platforms quietly added an extra app fee on top of the published one, months after launch. They hoped traders would not do the math. Our fees are fixed in the contracts. They cannot be changed for a token that already exists. If a future version of Minos ever set different fees, we would announce it first. It would apply to new launches only, and this page would be updated the same day. A token's fee is set at its launch, for its whole life.
No featured placement for sale
The board ranks by what the chain says: raises, volume, graduations. There is no paid slot, no sponsored row, and no fee that buys a better position. If a token is at the top, it traded its way there.
