# Fees

> Curve trading fees and post-graduation LP fee allocation.

## Bonding-curve trades

Both buys and sells charge 1% (`100` basis points) using integer floor division.

* On buys, the fee is taken from accepted gross ETH; the remainder becomes curve principal.
* On sells, the fee is taken from gross ETH released by the curve; the remainder is sent to the seller.

The 1% fee amount is divided as follows:

| Recipient/account |         Share of the fee | Effective share of gross before integer rounding |
| ----------------- | -----------------------: | -----------------------------------------------: |
| Creator           |                      35% |                                            0.35% |
| Community         |                      20% |                                            0.20% |
| Trader rewards    |                      15% |                                            0.15% |
| Protocol          | Remainder (normally 30%) |                              Approximately 0.30% |

The protocol remainder absorbs integer-rounding dust. `FeeManagerV3` tracks pull-based liabilities. Anyone may trigger a claim or vault-funding function, but assets go only to the registered treasury, creator payout, community vault, or trader rewards vault.

## Permanent Uniswap V3 LP fees

Uniswap pool fees are created by external swaps after graduation. The canonical position uses the 1% Uniswap V3 fee tier. Permissionless `collectFees()` sends only accrued position fees—not LP principal—to `PermanentLPFeeVaultV3`.

| Recipient/account | Share of collected LP fees |
| ----------------- | -------------------------: |
| Creator           |                        25% |
| Community         |                        30% |
| Trader rewards    |                        15% |
| Protocol          |   Remainder (normally 30%) |

LP fees can consist of either launch tokens or WETH. The vault tracks liabilities by recipient/launch token and asset and verifies asset backing before accrual or transfer.
