EscapeHub Fees Explained

Fees on the bonding curve (before graduation)

While a token is still on its bonding curve, every buy and sell pays a flat 1.2% fee: 0.5% to the creator and 0.7% to the protocol. The rate does not change with the token's size. For comparison, Pump.fun charges 1.25% on the bonding curve (with 0.3% to the creator), so EscapeHub is slightly cheaper for traders while paying creators more.

Fees after graduation

Once a token graduates to a full exchange (EscapeHub's EscapeSwap on Solana, or Uniswap V4 on the EVM chains), the fee becomes a market-cap-based tier instead of a flat rate. Smaller tokens pay a higher total fee and larger tokens pay less - the total trading fee decreases as the token grows, from about 1.2% at the lowest tier down to about 0.3% for the largest tokens.

The creator keeps earning a share of the fee at every tier, so creators continue to earn long after launch - unlike launchpads that send graduated tokens to an external exchange and cut the creator off.

Creator-fee options

When a token is created, the creator chooses how their share of the fee is handled. There are three options:

• Keep it - the creator collects the creator fee (the default).
• Split it - share the creator fee across up to 10 wallets (for example a team, marketing and advisors), in shares the creator sets.
• Cashback - redirect the creator fee back to the people trading the token, who can claim it later. A way to reward early traders and attract volume.

Funding your wallet (fiat on-ramp)

If you fund your EscapeHub wallet with a card or with Apple Pay or Google Pay, the payment processor charges a fee, which is shown before you confirm. Apple Pay and Google Pay are usually cheaper than paying by card.

Where the fees go

A portion of the platform's fees is used to buy back the ESCAPE token from the market. More trading volume means more fees, which means more ESCAPE buybacks, so platform activity flows back to the token.
