LOCKED: CREATOR FEES 0.3% — pump.fun standardImmutable after launch: yes
$LVL1 launches with pump.fun creator fees enabled at 0.3% on every buy and sell. No cashback. Fees accrue to the LVL1 operator. The creator-fees toggle is set ON at mint and immutable for the token's lifetime.
Platform fee mechanics are controlled by the launch/trading venue and may change. The 0.3% creator fee is not yield, not guaranteed income to holders, and not a promise of value.
What this means for $LVL1
- 0.3% creator fee on buys. Buyers pay bonding-curve price plus 0.3% routed to the LVL1 operator.
- 0.3% creator fee on sells. Sellers receive bonding-curve output minus pump.fun platform fee minus 0.3% creator fee.
- No cashback redirection. Fees do not rebate to holders.
- Creator fees are operator income. Not a treasury. Not a reserve. Not earmarked. Not a promise of utility, future value, or product continuity. See /risks.
How fee modes work (general reference)
pump.fun creator tokens can be launched with one of these fee configurations. $LVL1 uses CREATOR FEES.
- CREATOR FEES ← THIS IS WHAT $LVL1 USES
- 0.3% of every trade routes to the LVL1 operator. Rate and toggle are immutable post-mint.
- CASHBACK
- Not used by $LVL1.
- NONE
- Not used by $LVL1.
Why 0.3% and not 0%
Earlier prelaunch comms framed fee mode as NONE. As of 2026-05-13, the launch config was finalized at 0.3% creator fee. This was a prelaunch decision BEFORE mint — no token was affected by the prior framing because no token existed yet. The 0.3% becomes immutable the moment $LVL1 is minted on pump.fun.
Rationale: 0.3% creator fee funds ongoing development, content production, and infrastructure for the LVL1 universe (lvl1.fun, lvl1.ai, lvl1.io, pfp.lvl1.fun, @lvl1_greg_bot, video production, Greg lore engine).
Creator fees are operator income. Not a treasury, not a reserve, not earmarked, not a promise of utility or value return. Operator total token exposure remains capped at 1.5% across all wallets per /founder.
Important venue facts
- pump.fun's standard platform fee on trades is set by the platform, not by $LVL1 operator. Check pump.fun docs for current rate.
- Graduation to PumpSwap is platform-documented (e.g. fixed cost from liquidity); see venue docs at launch.
- The fee-mode setting above is locked at mint by the pump.fun smart contract and is not editable after deploy.
