Fees

Last updated: 8 November 2026

What you pay to create and trade coins on ZEEK. The numbers on this page are computed from the same configuration ZEEK uses to create pools on-chain.

Coins

Every coin trades against ZEC. Every buy and sell pays 1.50% of the trade, taken in ZEC, before and after graduation. The fee splits six ways:

	Burn	ZEEK holders	Coin holders	Creator	Protocol	Meteora	Total
Coin trade	0.45%	0.225%	0.225%	0.15%	0.15%	0.30%	1.50%

Burn (0.45%). This share buys ZEEK and burns it, which lowers the supply of ZEEK. Totals are on the Burn page.
ZEEK holders (0.225%). This share is credited to ZEEK holders in ZEC once an hour. See ZEC rewards.
Coin holders (0.225%). Credited in ZEC to the wallets holding the coin that was traded. Each hourly credit is split by the smaller of a wallet's balance now and at the previous check, so you earn by holding through it. A coin's share waits until it is worth at least $5.00.
Creator (0.15%). Credited in ZEC to the wallet that launched the coin, once an hour, and claimed on ZEC rewards. On a coin launched by a ZEEK platform wallet, this share goes to the protocol wallet.
Protocol (0.15%). Goes to the protocol wallet.
Meteora (0.30%). Meteora's programs keep 20% of the trading fee on every trade. ZEEK does not receive it.

ZEEK

ZEEK trades against ZEC and pays 0.25% of the trade, taken in ZEC. Meteora keeps 0.05% and the other 0.20% buys ZEEK and burns it. These trades pay nothing to rewards or the protocol.

Launch block fee

Curve trades in the Solana block (slot) a coin is created in pay 99.00% of the trade. From the next block on the normal fee applies. The extra fee splits the same way. A creator's first buy is part of the creation transaction and pays the normal fee.

Graduation

A coin's curve is sized in ZEC to start near a 113 SOL market cap and graduate near 450 SOL, at ZEC's SOL price when the curve was set. New coins get a resized curve when ZEC's SOL price doubles or halves. A coin keeps the curve it launched on.

ZEEK graduates when its curve holds about 130 ZEC, a market cap of 273 ZEC.

At graduation, liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool. All of it is locked forever, nobody can withdraw it, and the fee stays the same. ZEEK takes nothing from the curve at graduation.

Creating a coin

ZEEK charges nothing to create a coin. You pay the Solana network fee and the rent the network requires for the coin's accounts.
An optional first buy at launch is a normal curve trade and pays the 1.50% trading fee.

Claiming rewards

Claim rewards on the Rewards tab of your profile. ZEEK holders are paid in ZEC. Coin holder rewards and a coin creator's share are paid in ZEC. The same button claims both, with a minimum of $1 worth of each token, and ZEEK pays the network fee.

Fees can change for coins created in the future. A coin keeps the curve and graduated pool fees set in its on-chain configuration when it was created.
