Advanced Protection (EVM only)
All fee decreases, increases and penalties relate to the "fee builder" fee only
Tiered Fees:
Applies a fee multiplier based on trade size. Large buys get a fee discount, large sells get a fee increase. All four rules run simultaneously when enabled
Buys over 5% = 25% fee decrease
Buys over 10% = 40% fee decrease
Sells over 5% = 25% fee increase
Sells over 10% = 40% fee increase
Tiered Fees and Dynamic Fees cannot be enabled at the same time
Dynamic Fees:
When enabled, your transaction fee automatically increases when your token's price is moving up and down rapidly. You can trigger this either per swap, where one large trade sets it off or per block, where the combined impact of all trades in that block sets it off
Volatility Multiplier: How much the fee increases. Choose from Small (0.5x), Medium (3x), or Large (5x) Example: Medium (3x)
Trigger: Per swap checks each trade individually. Per block checks all trades in that block combined Example: Per Swap
Volatility Decay Period: How quickly the fee drops back to normal. Choose from Very Short (1 min), Short (10 min), Medium (1 hr), or Long (6 hrs) Example: Short (10 min)
Cool Down Protection:
When enabled, wallets that buy repeatedly within a set time period are charged a penalty fee
Cooldown Duration: The minimum time between buys before a penalty is applied. Choose from 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute or 1 hour Example: 10 seconds
Penalty Fee: The percentage of the transaction a buyer loses if they buy within the cooldown period. Choose from 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 3% or 10% Example: 1%
Snipe Protection:
When enabled, early buys after launch are limited to a set percentage of your supply, preventing snipers from buying large amounts at launch
Protect Period: How long after launch the limit is active. Choose from 1 minute, 10 minutes or 1 hour Example: 10min
Max Buy: The maximum percentage of supply a wallet can buy within the protect period. Choose from 0.01%, 0.1%, 1% or 10% Example: 1%
MEV Protection:
Enable this to protect your token from front-running and sandwich attacks Note: this may cause compatibility issues with some trading bots or swap interfaces
Initial Buy
This an optional feature where you can buy your own token at launch Example: $690 Min $0 - Max $10,000
For those launching on Solana: When creating a token with a liquidity pool, Raydium charges an estimated ~0.3 SOL to initialize the pool. This fee is set and collected by Raydium, we do not receive any part of it.
