Fees & Economics
Every upvote purchase incurs a 1.25% fee, distributed between the battle creator, roasters, and the protocol.
Fee Split
| Recipient | Share | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Battle Creator | 0.25% | Always active |
| Roasters | 0.60% | Proportional to upvotes on their bars |
| Protocol | 0.30% | Always active |
| Referral | 0.10% | If applicable |
Example
User buys 1000 upvotes for Side A = $100 USDC
Total fee: 1.25% of $100 = $1.25
→ Creator: $0.25
→ Roasters: $0.60 (split by upvote share)
→ Protocol: $0.30
→ Referral: $0.10
Net to Side A pool: $98.75
Creation Bond
Every battle requires a fixed 10 USDC creation bond. The bond is non-refundable and goes to the protocol treasury. This prevents spam and ensures only serious creators open markets.
