Understanding Token Economics: Liquidity, Fees, and Supply
No projections — just the mechanics. Here's how market cap, liquidity depth, swap fees, and referral fee shares actually function on-chain.

Market cap mechanics
Market cap is supply × price. It's a paper calculation — realizing value from an allocation depends on pool depth and actual trading, which the platform does not control or guarantee.
LP fee mechanism
Raydium liquidity providers receive a share of the 0.25% swap fee proportional to their share of the pool. This describes how the mechanism works, not an expected amount.
Referral fee share
0.054 SOL (30% of the 0.18 SOL fee) is shared per referred Solana launch, on-chain, with no cap — a fixed mechanism, not a projection.
Fee schedule
0.18 SOL mint, 0.1 SOL pool creation, 0.08 SOL revoke authority, 0.09 SOL per liquidity action. Any liquidity you add is separate and is your own capital.

Figures above describe platform fees and features. Token creation carries risk, and no trading, holder, or price outcome is guaranteed.
Best practices
- Pick a clear concept (meme, utility, community, AI, gaming) that's easy to explain in one sentence.
- Deploy a non-custodial token and consider revoking mint/freeze authorities as a transparency signal.
- If you create a liquidity pool, size it so the pool can function without extreme price impact.
- Consider locking or burning LP tokens — many community members check for this before engaging with a project.
- Communicate consistently with your community across the channels they already use.
- Share your referral link if you'd like to introduce other creators to the platform.
Frequently asked questions
Does creating a token generate income?
No. Minting a token is a configuration action — it creates supply and on-chain metadata. Any trading activity, liquidity, or price movement afterward is separate and is not guaranteed or controlled by the platform.
How do liquidity pool fees work?
On Raydium, liquidity providers earn a share of the 0.25% swap fee proportional to their share of the pool. This is a mechanical description of how the AMM fee model works, not a projection of any specific outcome.
What is a creator allocation?
Some creators reserve a percentage of total supply for themselves. Its market value, if any, depends entirely on whether the token trades and at what price — a paper value is not the same as realized value.
How does the referral fee share work?
0.054 SOL (30% of the 0.18 SOL platform fee) is shared with the referrer for each Solana launch attributed to their link. This is a fixed fee-sharing mechanism, described factually — not an income guarantee.
What does token creation cost?
0.18 SOL to mint, 0.1 SOL to create a pool, 0.09 SOL for liquidity management actions, and 0.08 SOL to revoke authorities. Any SOL used to seed liquidity is separate and is the creator's own capital.
