Fees and creator rewards
There are two fees, and they are unrelated. A one-off fee to create a coin, and the pool's own trading fee that is shared with the creator for as long as the coin trades.
Creation fee
Charged once, when you launch, in the network's native token. It is set per network and the platform can change it, so rather than print a figure that would go stale, this page asks each launch contract directly:
| Network | Cost to launch |
|---|---|
| Reading from the launch contracts… | |
Read live from each network's launch contract when this page loaded. Gas is separate and goes to the network.
It is shown in the app again before you sign, and it is not refundable once the transaction confirms. Gas is separate and goes to the network, not to us.
What “Free” means
Trading fee
On Uniswap V4 pools — Arc, Robinhood Mainnet and Base — the creator keeps 90% of the whole fee and the platform keeps 10%. On V3 pools the creator keeps 100% of the coin side and 50% of the quote side — roughly three quarters of the value at an even mix of buying and selling. Both are set on the factory and readable on chain.
Every swap pays the pool's fee — the percentage shown on the trade panel. This is collected by Uniswap into the position, not taken by Muup.fun, and it is split when it is claimed.
How it is split depends on which pool your coin trades in. The coin's own page names its venue, and the launch panel names it before you sign — so if you only want the number that applies to you, find your network here:
| Network | Pool | Your share of the trading fee |
|---|---|---|
| Arc | Uniswap V4 | 90% of everything, paid in USDC |
| Robinhood Mainnet | Uniswap V3 or Uniswap V4 | 90% of everything, paid in ETH when quoted in ETH; 90% of the quote side and all of the coin side when quoted in one of the 18 equities on V4; on V3: 100% of the coin side and 50% of the quote side |
| Base | Uniswap V4 | 90% of the ETH side and all of the coin side |
| Stable Mainnet | Uniswap V3 | 100% of the coin side and 50% of the quote side |
Uniswap V4 pools
V4 pools pay the creator 90% of the whole fee — the platform keeps 10% — rather than splitting the two sides on different terms. There is no asymmetry to reason about here: ninety percent means ninety percent of everything the coin earns.
Where that fee is taken from depends on whether the network runs the quote-fee hook:
- With the hook — Arc and Robinhood Mainnet — 1% is taken from the quote side of every swap, outside the pool. Fees therefore reach you in the quote asset only, never as your own coin, whichever direction the trade went.
- Without the hook — Base — nothing is taken outside the pool. Fees accrue in the liquidity position and arrive in both tokens, the same way a V3 position does. The split follows: you keep 90% of the quote side and all of the coin side, which is nearer 95% of the total at an even mix and never below 90%.
A creator may also charge their own tax, and give their fees to holders
Fee collection on Base is manual for now
Uniswap V3 pools
V3 is the older arrangement, and the only one on Stable. It has the asymmetry V4 removes: the pool accrues fees on both sides of the pair — a buy pays its fee in the quote token, a sell pays its fee in the coin itself — and the two sides are split on different terms.
| Fee side | Creator | Platform |
|---|---|---|
| Quote token (from buys) | 50% | 50% |
| The coin itself (from sells) | 100% | nothing |
Across a normal mix of buying and selling that works out to roughly three quarters of the total fee value going to the creator. The platform's quarter is always in the liquid quote token rather than in coin dust, which is the reason the split is shaped this way rather than being an even cut of everything.
Why a fixed share rather than a valued one
Claiming
- Fees accrue in the position and are claimed, not streamed. They do not expire.
- Your dashboard and your profile both show what is currently claimable for each coin you created.
- The payout address is yours to change and only yours: the wallet credited as creator is the only one that can point it somewhere else. The platform cannot redirect it.
