MerryForge Fees Explained

What fees does MerryForge charge?
MerryForge charges trading fees on bonding-curve and post-graduation AMM activity according to each launch’s fee parameters and protocol fee settings. Fees are taken in the trade’s quote context, not as a separate “platform token.” Creator bonds are USDG deposits, not fees, and are not the same as protocol trading fees.
Summary
- Trading fees apply on curve and AMM paths as configured
- Fees are quote-side economic costs of trading, not a bond
- Some token templates add post-grad transfer taxes on the official pool
- Creator bonds are refundable deposits, not fee payments
FEE and REWARDS token templates may apply additional buy/sell taxes on the official graduated AMM pool only. Secondary pools are not the same as the official path. Read the token template details before trading.
Referral and creator fee claims, when available, are separate from the creator bond.
Frequently asked questions
What fees does MerryForge charge?+
Launches include a fee basis-point setting on curve trading, with protocol and creator/referrer splits enforced by the fee vault design. After graduation, AMM swaps also incur ordinary pool and any template-specific fees. Exact bps are visible per launch.
Which asset are fees paid in?+
Fees are economically paid as part of the trade in the raise/quote asset path for that swap (for example USDG or ETH/WETH depending on the launch and route). They are not billed as a separate MerryForge governance token.
Are creator bonds fees?+
No. Creator bonds are USDG accountability deposits locked at launch. They may be refunded after graduation review or forfeited under abandoned-launch policy. They are not trading fees and do not buy insurance for traders.
