Fees & Economics

Understanding the fee structure helps you maximize earnings as a creator and trade smarter as a buyer.

How the Fee System Works​

Quik.Meme uses a unique fee mechanism based on Uniswap V3 liquidity pool fees, not traditional transfer taxes.

The Pool Fee (1%)​

Every swap on Uniswap V3 generates a 1% fee:

  • This fee goes directly to the liquidity pool
  • Accumulates in the LP position (NFT)
  • Factory contract periodically collects these fees
  • Then distributes them automatically

Important: This is NOT a token tax. It's the standard Uniswap V3 pool fee that all traders pay when swapping.

Fee Distribution​

When pool fees are collected, they're distributed as follows:

Split Breakdown​

  • 25% to Creator: You earn as the token creator
  • 25% to Buyback: Automatically buys and burns tokens
  • 50% to Platform: Platform maintenance and development

Example Calculation​

If 1 BNB of pool fees has accumulated:

  • Creator receives: 0.25 BNB (sent directly to your wallet)
  • Buyback: 0.25 BNB (buys tokens, then burns them)
  • Platform: 0.50 BNB (platform treasury)

Creator Earnings​

As a token creator, you automatically earn from pool activity.

How You Earn​

  1. Every Trade Generates Fees: Each swap pays 1% to the pool
  2. Fees Accumulate: Pool fees build up over time
  3. Automatic Collection: Factory collects fees periodically
  4. Instant Distribution: Your 25% is sent to your wallet immediately

No Action Required​

  • Fees are collected automatically when threshold is met
  • Your share is sent directly to your wallet
  • No need to manually claim
  • Happens in the background

Earning Potential​

Your earnings depend on trading volume:

Low Volume Token:

  • Daily volume: 10 BNB
  • Pool fees generated: 0.1 BNB (1%)
  • Your daily earnings: 0.025 BNB ($7.50 at $300/BNB)
  • Monthly: ~0.75 BNB ($225)

Medium Volume Token:

  • Daily volume: 100 BNB
  • Pool fees generated: 1 BNB (1%)
  • Your daily earnings: 0.25 BNB ($75)
  • Monthly: ~7.5 BNB ($2,250)

High Volume Token:

  • Daily volume: 1,000 BNB
  • Pool fees generated: 10 BNB (1%)
  • Your daily earnings: 2.5 BNB ($750)
  • Monthly: ~75 BNB ($22,500)

Note: These are examples. Actual results vary based on market conditions.

Virtual Liquidity System​

Quik.Meme uses an innovative virtual liquidity approach:

What is Virtual Liquidity?​

  • Physical Liquidity: Actual BNB in the pool (lower amount)
  • Virtual Amount: Used for market cap calculation (higher amount)
  • Result: Token appears to have larger market cap
  • Benefit: Attracts more attention and traders

Why Virtual Liquidity?​

Advantages:

  • Higher apparent market cap
  • Better rankings on DexScreener
  • More attractive to traders
  • Same trading functionality
  • Lower capital requirement for creators

How It Works:

  • You provide physical BNB for real liquidity
  • Contract applies virtual multiplier
  • Market cap calculated using virtual amount
  • Trading uses actual pool liquidity
  • Prices still follow real supply/demand

Example​

Traditional Approach:

  • Physical liquidity: 5 BNB required from creator
  • Market cap: Based on 5 BNB
  • Cost: $1,500+ to launch
  • Starting rank: Based on capital

Quik.Meme Approach:

  • Creator payment: $0.50 gas only
  • Virtual liquidity: Auto-generated
  • Market cap: Boosted automatically
  • Starting rank: Competitive immediately

Initial Token Creation​

What You Pay​

When deploying a token:

  • Gas Fee ONLY: ~$0.50 in BNB
  • No Liquidity Payment: Zero BNB required
  • Total Cost: Just ~$0.50

The platform automatically creates:

  • Virtual liquidity for your token
  • Initial market cap display
  • Trading pool
  • Everything needed for your token to trade

This is what makes Quik.Meme special - nearly free token creation!

Buyback & Burn Mechanism​

Automatic Buyback (25% of Fees)​

When fees are distributed:

  1. 25% of collected fees used for buyback
  2. Factory swaps BNB for your token
  3. Bought tokens immediately burned
  4. Reduces total supply
  5. Creates upward price pressure

Why This Matters​

For Token Price:

  • Constant buying pressure
  • Supply reduction
  • Deflationary mechanism
  • Price support

For Holders:

  • Their tokens become scarcer
  • Automatic value accrual
  • No dilution
  • Passive benefit

Example Buyback​

Pool generates 1 BNB in fees:

  • Buyback allocation: 0.25 BNB
  • Buys tokens at current price
  • Burns all bought tokens
  • Supply decreases
  • Remaining tokens worth more

Gas Fees​

Separate from pool fees, paid to BSC network:

Typical Gas Costs​

  • Token Creation: $1-2 in BNB
  • Swapping: $0.50-1 per trade
  • Fee Collection: Automatic (no manual cost)

Tips to Save Gas​

  1. Trade during off-peak hours
  2. Use appropriate gas settings
  3. Don't overpay for "fast" gas
  4. Batch operations when possible

Fee Collection Triggers​

Automatic Collection​

Fees are collected automatically when:

Threshold Reached:

  • Pool fees exceed minimum threshold
  • Factory collects from LP position
  • Distributes immediately

Time Interval:

  • Minimum 5 minutes between collections
  • Prevents spam collection
  • Optimizes gas efficiency

Trade Triggers:

  • Each swap attempts fee collection
  • Silent fail if threshold not met
  • No impact on swap execution

Manual Collection​

Platform controller can also:

  • Manually trigger fee collection
  • For any token with accumulated fees
  • Useful for tokens with low volume

Understanding LP Fees​

Uniswap V3 Mechanics​

Every Uniswap V3 pool charges fees:

  • Fee Tier: 1% (10000 basis points)
  • Who Pays: Every trader on both buys and sells
  • Who Earns: Liquidity providers (LP position holders)
  • Our System: Factory owns LP position, collects fees

Fee Accumulation​

As people trade:

  1. User swaps BNB for tokens (pays 1% fee)
  2. Fee accumulates in pool
  3. Attributed to LP position NFT
  4. Factory monitors accumulation
  5. Collects when threshold met
  6. Distributes to creator, buyback, platform

No Transfer Tax​

Unlike many tokens, Quik.Meme tokens have:

  • No transfer tax: Moving tokens between wallets is free
  • No buy tax: Only the Uniswap pool fee (1%)
  • No sell tax: Only the Uniswap pool fee (1%)
  • Clean transfers: Standard ERC-20 behavior

The only fee is the 1% Uniswap pool fee when trading through the DEX.

Creator Revenue Model​

Sustainable Income​

As creator, you earn continuously:

  • Every trade generates 1% pool fee
  • You get 25% of collected fees
  • No manual claiming needed
  • Passive income stream
  • Compounds over token lifetime

Long-Term Thinking​

Don't Sell Your Token Holdings:

  • Selling hurts community trust
  • Impacts token price negatively
  • Reduces future trading volume
  • Kills your fee income

Better Strategy:

  • Hold your tokens
  • Collect pool fees instead
  • Build community
  • Increase volume
  • Maximize long-term earnings

Fee Projection​

Calculate potential earnings:

Your Earnings = (Total Volume × 1%) × 25%

Example:

  • Daily volume: 50 BNB
  • Daily pool fees: 0.5 BNB
  • Your daily share: 0.125 BNB
  • Monthly income: ~3.75 BNB

Platform Sustainability​

Why 50% to Platform?​

Platform fees fund:

  • Infrastructure costs
  • Development team
  • Marketing and growth
  • Security audits
  • Community initiatives
  • Long-term sustainability

Transparent Model​

  • No hidden fees
  • All fees on-chain
  • Verifiable distributions
  • Immutable fee structure
  • Fair for all participants

Smart Contract Functions​

// Automatically triggered on trades
function _checkAndCollectFees(address tokenAddress)

// Distributes collected fees
function _distributeFees(address tokenAddress, address creator)

// Performs automatic buyback and burn
function _performBuyback(address tokenAddress, uint256 ethAmount)

  • Creator Fee: 25%
  • Buyback Fee: 25%
  • Platform Fee: 50%
  • Distribution Threshold: 0.0000005 BNB
