How creator rewards work on degenerate.GG

Creators on degenerate.GG receive a share of collected fees from eligible buys on their coins. Rewards are paid automatically once the available combined balance for a creator wallet reaches 0.01 SOL.

Rewards come from trading activity. Launching a coin does not guarantee trades, earnings or a payout.

What you earn on the bonding curve

Under the current mainnet policy, a curve trade has a 1.25% total trading fee: 0.25% for Raydium and 1% for the platform. Creators receive half of the collected platform fee on eligible buys, equivalent to a 0.50% creator rate.

This reward is a share of the existing fee, not an extra fee added to the trader's bill. The creator reward policy applies to buys; sells do not earn a creator share.

An example with eligible buys

If the collected platform fees attributable to eligible buys total 0.02 SOL, the 50% creator share is 0.01 SOL. In simplified volume terms, roughly 2 SOL of eligible curve buys at the stated rate produces about 0.01 SOL in creator rewards. Actual accounting uses finalized, collected fees and integer amounts.

Total trading volume can include sells, so multiplying all displayed volume by 0.50% will not necessarily match your rewards.

Why a small reward has not arrived yet

The automatic payout minimum is 0.01 SOL combined per creator wallet, across its eligible coins on the same network. It is not a separate 0.01 SOL minimum for every coin.

• 0.006 SOL available from one coin plus 0.003 SOL from another totals 0.009 SOL: below the minimum.
• If another 0.002 SOL becomes available, the combined amount is 0.011 SOL: above the minimum.
• Small balances carry forward while more eligible rewards accrue.

Reaching the minimum makes the balance eligible for settlement. Fees still need to be collected and reconciled, and the payout transaction needs to confirm. There is no promised delivery time or daily payout schedule.

What changes after graduation?

After a coin moves to its Raydium pool, creator rewards come from the pool's smaller creator-fee component. Under the current configuration, rewards are up to 0.025% of eligible buys, rather than the curve's 0.50% rate.

That is a material reduction. For scale, 100 SOL of eligible buys at a 0.025% rate corresponds to 0.025 SOL before accounting and rounding. It is an illustration, not a forecast of volume or earnings.

Where to follow your rewards

Sign in to the account that created the coin and open Creator rewards. Check your available rewards and recorded payouts there. The payout goes to the creator wallet associated with the launch; a coin's name or ticker does not establish ownership.

If the wallet balance has not changed, distinguish an accrued reward from an available balance and a confirmed payout. The explorer receipt for a completed payout is evidence of the transfer; an estimate is not.

Do you need to claim?

The current automatic settlement flow does not require a separate creator claim transaction. Keep access to your account and wallet, and never share your recovery material with someone offering to release a payout.
