Creator fees have two entirely separate mechanisms — one for the bonding-curve phase and one for the post-graduation AMM phase. They are funded differently, held differently, and claimed differently. Both are described here.
Creator fees depend on platform configuration and launch settings. Verify the exact settings before signing. This page explains mechanics only and is not financial, legal, tax, or investment advice.

​
Phase 1 — Pre-migration (bonding curve)

While your token is trading on the bonding curve, a creator-fee component is taken from each buy and sell and accrued in a per-token vault. This is configured by the platform your token is launched on.

​
Details

  • Denominated in the quote token (usually SOL).
  • Rate — set by the platform at launch time. Check the platform’s fee schedule or the token’s on-chain state.
  • Claimable anytime — go to your Portfolio page on raydium.io and claim pending fees at any time. No waiting for graduation.
  • Stops at graduation — no new pre-migration fees accrue after the curve graduates. Any residual balance in the vault remains claimable.

​
How to claim

  1. Connect the creator wallet to raydium.io.
  2. Navigate to Portfolio.
  3. Find the token under your created tokens.
  4. Click Claim next to the pre-migration fee balance.
Programmatic claim: see products/launchlab/creator-fees for the SDK instruction.

​
Phase 2 — Post-migration (Fee Key NFT)

When your token’s bonding curve reaches its graduation threshold, liquidity migrates to a Raydium CPMM pool. LP tokens are minted and distributed according to the platform configuration:
RecipientRaydium defaultDescription
Burned (Burn & Earn)90%Permanently locked; trading fees from this share flow to the Burn & Earn trust mechanism.
Creator (Fee Key NFT)10%A Fee Key NFT is minted to your wallet. This NFT is your claim on 10% of the pool’s ongoing LP trading fees.
Platform0% (Raydium default)Some third-party platforms take a share here.
These defaults apply to tokens launched through Raydium’s own LaunchLab UI. Third-party platforms may configure different splits — always check the platform page before launching.

​
The Fee Key NFT

The Fee Key NFT is a non-fungible token minted to your wallet at graduation that represents your right to collect LP trading fees from your share of the post-graduation pool.
Do not burn or transfer the Fee Key NFT unless you intentionally want to relinquish fee-claiming rights. If the NFT is lost or burned, fee claim rights are permanently forfeited — there is no recovery path.
  • The Fee Key can be traded or transferred; whoever holds it can claim fees.
  • Fees accumulate continuously from LP trading activity in the CPMM pool.
  • Claim from the Portfolio page, or via the CPMM pool’s fee-claim instruction programmatically.

​
How to claim post-migration fees

  1. Connect the wallet that holds the Fee Key NFT.
  2. Navigate to Portfolio on raydium.io.
  3. Find the graduated token’s pool under your positions.
  4. Click Claim to collect accrued trading fees.

​
If post-migration fees are not enabled

If a platform sets creator fees as disabled, your token graduates to an AMM v4 pool (the legacy migration path) instead of CPMM. In this mode:
  • No Fee Key NFT is minted.
  • There is no program-level post-migration creator fee.
  • Some alternative fee-claim options may exist via CLI tools depending on how the launch was configured.

Fee flow summary

Bonding curve phase:
  Each buy/sell → small % → creator vault (quote token)
  Claim any time from Portfolio

Graduation:
  LP tokens minted → split per platform config
  ├── X% burned (Burn & Earn)
  ├── Y% → creator as Fee Key NFT      ← you hold this
  └── Z% → platform (if applicable)

Post-graduation:
  Every CPMM swap → LP fees → split by LP share
  Your Fee Key NFT share → claimable from Portfolio
