Fees
One percent, split seventy thirty, plus whatever the creator chose. All of it in the stock.
Every fee here is taken in the asset the coin is priced in, never in SOL and never in the coin itself.
The protocol fee
One percent of every trade. Seventy percent of it goes to the coin's creator and thirty percent to the protocol. It applies on the curve and on the pool, on buying and on selling.
The creator tax
Optional, fixed at creation, anywhere from nothing to ten percent. It is taken on top of the protocol fee and goes wholly to the creator. A coin with one says so on its page, in its badges, and in the trade panel before you confirm.
The opening tax
Not really a fee. See the opening tax: it starts at 98 percent, is gone thirty seconds after each bell, and is split the same way the protocol fee is.
The ceiling
The program refuses any combination of protocol fee, creator tax and opening tax that reaches 100 percent. If a creator sets a large tax, the opening tax is trimmed to fit under the ceiling rather than the trade being rejected.
Claiming
Creator fees accumulate in the coin's vault until somebody claims them.
Anyone can trigger a claim, and it always pays the creator
The claim instruction pays the wallet the creator named, whoever sends the transaction. There is nothing to race and nothing to steal. A creator may change the wallet fees are paid to, which is the only mutable thing about a coin.
