Fees
Stratus launches on Ethereum and Robinhood Chain. This page lists what you pay us when you use it. Network gas is always extra and varies by chain.
| What you do | What Stratus takes |
|---|---|
| Launch a token | Nothing |
| Lock a pool's liquidity | 10% to 40% of the pair-side trading fees, depending on lock length |
| NFT drop (coming soon) | 5% of drop sales, plus a small mint fee per NFT |
| Curve sale (coming soon) | 1% of each buy and sell |
Launching a token
Launching a token on Stratus is free. You pay only network gas, and we take no share of your token supply.
Pool locks
A locked pool keeps earning trading fees for as long as it is locked. Each time fees are collected, they split two ways:
- Your project's token goes to the destination you chose for the pool. We never take any of it.
- The other side of the pair, such as ETH or a stablecoin (USDC on Ethereum, USDG on Robinhood Chain), goes to your wallet, minus our share.
Our share depends on how long you lock:
| Lock length | Our share of pair-side fees | You keep |
|---|---|---|
| 30 days (minimum) | 40% | 60% |
| 90 days | 30% | 70% |
| 180 days | 20% | 80% |
| 365 days or more | 10% | 90% |
You can lock for any length from 30 days up. A length that falls between two rows pays the rate of the shorter row, so a 120-day lock pays the 90-day rate and a 364-day lock pays the 180-day rate.
Extending a lock. An extension starts when your current lock ends. We price it on the length of the extension alone, not on the total time locked. A 30-day extension pays the 30-day rate, even on a pool that was first locked for a year. To get the 10% rate on an extension, extend by 365 days or more. The time you already locked keeps its own rate.
After a lock ends. If you leave your position in the pool after the lock ends, the last rate keeps applying to fees collected until you withdraw.
NFT drops
NFT drops are coming soon and are not available at launch. When they arrive, we take:
- 5% of each drop sale. The creator receives the rest of the sale price.
- A mint fee for each NFT, paid by the buyer on top of the price.
| Chain | Drop priced in ETH | Drop priced in the stablecoin |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 0.0001 ETH per NFT | 0.25 USDC per NFT |
| Robinhood Chain | 0.0001 ETH per NFT | 0.25 USDG per NFT |
Curve sales
Curve sales are coming soon and are not available at launch. When they arrive, we take 1% of each buy and each sell on the curve, in ETH. On a buy, it comes out of the ETH you send. On a sell, it comes out of the ETH you receive.
When a curve sale fills, its raise becomes liquidity in a locked pool, and the pool lock fees above apply from then on.
