# Ways to Earn

#### Earn from the activity you create

Whether you launch a token or operate a branded launchpad, basedbid lets you configure <mark style="color:$primary;">**how trading revenue supports you, your project and your community**</mark>

Your earnings depend on trading activity, the launch configuration and the allocations you select

<summary><strong>Launch a LBP/Pool</strong></summary>

A <mark style="color:$primary;">**LBP**</mark> can provide creator revenue at three stages:

* **During the launch:** Configure creator fees on bonding-curve buys and sells
* **At graduation:** Configure a creator graduation fee&#x20;
* **After graduation:** Continue earning from DEX trading through the fee builder

*Available fees, limits and graduation settings vary by network and launch type*

<summary><strong>Launch a Flash Token</strong></summary>

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Flash Tokens**</mark> launch directly into DEX trading, allowing creators to earn from trading activity without waiting for bonding-curve graduation

Choose your supported DEX and trading-fee configuration, then decide how revenue is allocated through the <mark style="color:$primary;">**Fee Builder**</mark>

<summary><strong>Operate a branded launchpad</strong></summary>

With <mark style="color:$primary;">**Boards**</mark><mark style="color:$primary;">,</mark> you can earn from projects launching under your brand

Depending on your Board configuration, revenue sources can include:

* Listing fees
* Bonding-curve buy and sell fees
* Graduation fees
* A share of post-graduation trading revenue
* A share of Flash Token trading revenue

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Board owners and project creators can both participate in launch revenue**</mark>, according to the configured fee arrangements

<summary><strong>Create a Pre-Market</strong></summary>

<mark style="color:$primary;">A</mark> <mark style="color:$primary;"></mark><mark style="color:$primary;">**Pre-Market**</mark> gives creators an additional earning route: <mark style="color:$primary;">**a configurable share of the funds raised**</mark>

Set how much of the raise goes to your creator wallet, alongside creator fees from trading on basedbid before graduation and ongoing DEX trading afterwards

This combines <mark style="color:$primary;">**upfront project funding with ongoing trading revenue**</mark>

*Available fees and funding allocations depend on your launch configuration*

<summary><strong>Decide where the revenue goes</strong></summary>

Earning fees does not mean sending everything to one wallet

The <mark style="color:$primary;">**Fee Builder**</mark> lets creators allocate trading revenue across creator income, treasury, liquidity, buybacks, marketing, holder rewards and custom destinations

The **Rewards Basket** extends holder rewards to multiple supported assets, with configurable allocations and payout settings

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Fee Builder and Rewards Basket distributions do not require selling the launched token to fund payouts**</mark>

Explore the <mark style="color:$primary;">**Fee Builder**</mark> and <mark style="color:$primary;">**Rewards Basket**</mark> guides for the full configuration options

<summary><strong>Understand your earnings</strong></summary>

<mark style="color:$primary;">**Trading volume is not the same as creator income.**</mark> The trading fee determines the fees generated, while the applicable platform, Board, DEX and routing arrangements determine who receives them

For example, <mark style="color:$primary;">**$100,000 in trading volume at a 2% trading fee generates $2,000 in gross trading fees**</mark><mark style="color:$primary;">.</mark> That is not automatically $2,000 paid to the creator
