Fees
Fees
A simple breakdown of what Coinbook charges — and of what it does not.
Creating a coin is free. Trading carries a 1% fee that is split evenly with the coin's creator. Everything else on this page is either paid out of pool liquidity or set by the creator, not by Coinbook.
What you pay
| Action | Fee |
|---|---|
| Create a coin | 0 SOL |
| Buy or sell a coin on Coinbook | 1% of the total purchase or sale amount (in SOL) |
| SOL-paired coin graduation* | 5 SOL, charged from the liquidity pool — not out of your wallet |
| Coin creator payment (upon graduation) | Creator is paid 1 SOL |
*The 5 SOL graduation fee is a fixed fee that covers network and Meteora fees, even though those underlying fees may vary from time to time. It is taken from the coin's liquidity and never requires the user to pay it as an additional amount.
Trading fee split
The 1% Coinbook trading fee is split equally between the creator and the platform.

Tax tokens
Tax tokens carry a buy and/or sell tax set by their creator. That tax is separate from Coinbook's 1% trading fee.
Buy tax
5%
Sell tax
5%
Coinbook fee
1%
An example configuration. The buy and sell tax are chosen by the creator at launch; the 1% Coinbook fee is the same on every coin.
The creator-configured tax is collected as the coin trades and distributed to token holders once the total collected tax value reaches $500. The token creator can also trigger a distribution manually at any time, as long as the pool covers the network fees to pay it out.
Tax is neither creator revenue nor platform revenue — it is reserved for holder rewards. See the docs for how tax tokens work in full.
Liquidity & launch
- SOL-paired standard coins launch through the Coinbook bonding curve. Once the graduation conditions are met, liquidity is transferred to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
- Tax tokens and other token types do not use the Coinbook bonding curve. They launch directly with one-sided liquidity on a Meteora DAMM v2 pool.
This keeps the bonding-curve and graduation process — and the 5 SOL graduation fee that comes with it — applicable only to standard SOL-paired coins.
No hidden fees.
Coinbook does not charge anything beyond the fees listed above. If you access Coinbook smart contracts through another app or interface, additional fees may apply based on that platform.
