Fee Structure

Hooken's launch factory takes no fee at all: launching costs 0 ETH beyond gas, and there is no protocol share of ordinary buy or sell tax. What creators earn is entirely theirs, enforced at the contract level rather than promised off chain.

Trading tax: 100% to the creator

You set a base tax between 1% and 10% when you launch. The hook dynamically cycles that rate against fixed tiers on every trade, but regardless of which tier applies, the protocol's cut of that tax is zero. Your accrued tax builds up in ETH and is claimable at any time from your token's tax page.

Anti-snipe tax: a deterrent, not revenue

The one exception is the flat 50% tax charged on non-whitelisted buys during the first 4 seconds after launch. That tax goes entirely to the protocol treasury rather than the creator, but it exists to blunt sniping bots, not to generate ongoing revenue. It only applies in that short window and only to wallets you didn't whitelist.

Liquidity: burned, not shared

100% of every launch's liquidity position is minted straight to a dead address at creation. Neither the protocol nor the creator holds back any share of it. There's nothing to migrate, unlock, or rug: the pool is permanent from the first block.

On chain enforcement

All of this is enforced at the contract level: the hook contract computes and routes every tax split itself, so you can verify the numbers on chain rather than relying on an off chain promise.
