Creator fees

Launching on Qian gives you a lasting revenue stream: creator fees from your token's trading, forever. There is no token allocation, no vesting, no unlock cliff. You earn when people trade.

Where fees come from

Every trade on your token pays a fee, and it accrues to you. The QianLocker owns all the liquidity, so the fee accrues to the locked position, and the only thing anyone can do with it is collect it through the fee router, which pays the creator.

Setting your fee

On a V4 launch you choose the fee, anywhere in the range the launch form offers, charged on every trade in both directions. It accrues to you as the token's creator.

This is set once, at launch, and can never change. The fee lives inside the pool itself, not in a contract someone can call later, so a buyer reads it straight off the pool and knows it will never move. That permanence cuts both ways: pick a number people will trade against. A high fee is a wall buyers see up front and route around.

V3 launches use one fixed, standard fee for every token.

No separate "tax token"

Earlier versions of Qian had a separate tax-token type with its own hook. That type is gone. The creator fee above is the tax, whatever rate you pick. One rate, both directions, immutable, and yours.

Claiming

Press Claim fees on your token page. One transaction collects the accrued fees from the pool and pays your creator fees out in ETH.

Claiming is permissionless: anyone can trigger a claim for any token, and the creator's share always goes to the creator no matter who calls. There is no schedule; claim whenever the accrued amount is worth the click.

Who gets paid

Creator fees go to the current creator, which starts as the wallet that launched the token.

Community takeover (CTO)

If a creator abandons a token, the community can apply to take over the creator role and its fee stream. See Community takeover for what a CTO does and how to apply.
