Creator rewards are a share of economic activity routed to the token creator according to a launchpad policy.
Where rewards can come from
Rewards may come from trading fees, LP fees, platform fees or another explicitly defined source. The source matters because it determines when rewards accrue.
Fee split
A percentage such as 70/30 should specify which fee pool is being split and which addresses receive each share. Onchain fixed-recipient designs are easier to audit.
Claiming
Some systems accrue rewards until the creator claims them; others distribute automatically. The UI should distinguish pending, claimable and already-paid values.
Transparency
Creators should be able to reconcile rewards with trades or fee events. Buyers should also understand that creator rewards are an economic incentive, not a promise of token performance.
Practical launch checklist
Before opening the wallet confirmation, verify the selected network, token name and ticker, creator wallet, launch contract and amount required for liquidity. If a first buy is included, treat it as a separate real trade and confirm its value. Leave enough native asset for gas. A launch should be cancelled when the wallet points to the wrong chain or contract, or when simulation predicts a revert that has not been explained.
After confirmation, save the transaction hash and canonical token address. Verify the pool or curve, holder list, first trade, LP custody and source code where available. Then publish one canonical token URL so community members are not forced to choose among conflicting addresses. These steps are simple, but they prevent many of the most common launch and discovery errors.
Before you publish the token
- Use a clear name, ticker and icon.
- Confirm the wallet is on the intended network.
- Review liquidity and first-buy amounts separately.
- Check the destination launch contract.
- Keep the transaction hash and explorer link.
- Publish the canonical address after confirmation.
