Fee Disclosure
Protocol fees and network costs.
Draft — requires professional legal review. This is a placeholder for launch preparation and is not final legal copy or legal advice.
Protocol fee
USDC pools carry a 10% protocol fee added on top of the reward budget — a $1,000 reward pool costs the project $1,100 total. Pools range from $10 to $10,000.
The protocol fee is separate from the reward pool and is never part of creator reward or refund accounting.
Network fees
Solana network (gas) fees apply to on-chain transactions and are paid by the sending wallet. They are small but non-zero and are not refunded.
Refunds
Only unused available balance is refundable to the project's funding wallet. Protocol fees, reserved balances, verified-unpaid and paid amounts are not refundable. See the Refund Policy.
