Creator rewards
If you launch a token, you earn a share of every trade on it, by anyone, for as long as it trades. Your share is fixed at launch, and nobody at StartupOS can redirect it.
| Token type | You earn |
|---|---|
| Standard | 0.7% of every trade |
| Auto-Burn | 0.4% of every trade |
| Tax-Free | Nothing |
You are paid in the pair currency: ETH, or the token your market is paired with. You never receive your own token, so collecting your earnings never means selling into your own market.
How you get paid depends on where your token trades. Instant tokens can also pay their holders if you add a holder tax: see Holder rewards and the weekly lottery.
Instant tokens
Every Instant token page shows a Creator earnings card. When you connect the wallet that launched the token, it reads Your creator earnings.
| Row | What it means |
|---|---|
| Waiting to be delivered | Your share of trades so far, ready to send |
| Delivered to the creator | What has already reached your wallet |
| Held for the creator to collect | A delivery that could not reach your wallet |
To get paid, press Deliver earnings to the creator. Anyone can press it and pay the gas, and the money always goes to your wallet.
If a delivery could not reach your wallet, it is held for you. Press Collect held earnings to take it.
Your payout address is fixed at launch and cannot be changed later, so launch from a wallet you control and plan to keep.
Bonding curve tokens
Before graduation, your share builds up inside the token. Open the token page with the launch wallet and press Claim on the Your creator rewards card. Anyone can trigger a claim, and it always pays you.
After graduation, your token trades in a Uniswap V4 pool and pays you as an Instant token does: the token page shows the Creator earnings card, and anyone can press Deliver earnings to the creator to send your share to your wallet.
Tokens in a Uniswap V3 pool. A curve token launched on mainnet before October 18, 2026 graduates into a Uniswap V3 pool instead, and its pool fees pay you in two steps:
| Step | Button | What happens |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Run Collect & Burn | The pool fees are shared out. The platform is paid, the burn share is burned, and your share is set aside |
| 2 | Claim | Your set-aside share is sent to your wallet, in WETH on ETH markets |
Anyone can press either button, on the token page or the Keeper page, and the money always goes where the token's terms say. Collection runs only once enough fees have built up, currently 0.005 WETH. Below that it is refused, and nothing is lost while you wait.
Handing over a token in a Uniswap V3 pool is not available on mainnet yet. It moves the payout to a new wallet in two steps: you propose the new address, and that wallet accepts. There is no admin path. A token in a Uniswap V4 pool always pays the creator address recorded at launch.
My tokens
My tokens lists every token you launched, with what each has earned, so you can get paid without opening each token page:
- Curve tokens show their curve earnings with a Claim button.
- Graduated curve tokens add what the pool has earned: the Creator earnings card for a Uniswap V4 pool, or Collect and Claim for a Uniswap V3 pool.
- Instant tokens show the same Creator earnings card as the token page, with Deliver earnings to the creator.
Tax-Free tokens
A Tax-Free token earns its creator nothing, for its whole life. Holders trade without a fee, so there is nothing to share. A Tax-Free curve token stays free to trade after it graduates. One in a Uniswap V3 pool has a small pool fee, which goes entirely to buying the token back and burning it. The type is fixed at launch, so pick Standard or Auto-Burn if you want to earn.
If something looks wrong
| What you see | What to do |
|---|---|
| No Claim button on your curve token | Connect the wallet that launched it, and wait for some trading |
| Nothing earned on a Tax-Free token | Nothing to fix. Tax-Free pays the creator nothing |
| Waiting to be delivered keeps growing | Press Deliver earnings to the creator |
| Collect held earnings appears | Press it to collect a delivery that missed your wallet |
| Claim fails on a token in a Uniswap V3 pool | Press Run Collect & Burn first, then claim |
| Run Collect & Burn fails | Too little has built up. Try again after more trading |

Every delivery, collection and claim costs a network fee. Claiming a tiny balance can cost more than it is worth, so let it build.
