CashPad's fee

CashPad takes 10% of creator fees when they are claimed, at claim time. If fees are never claimed, CashPad takes nothing. There is no CashPad fee to launch a coin or to trade one.

Launch costs

The deployer pays everything needed to launch, in one transaction from their own wallet:

Solana network fees.
pump.fun's coin creation cost.
The optional dev buy, if you choose one. You keep the coins it buys.
A 0.003 SOL claim reserve, left in the coin's fresh creator wallet so its first claim can pay for itself.

Claim costs

Each claim pays its own network costs out of the fees being claimed: Solana transaction fees, rent for any token accounts the claim needs, and, for Cash App, the swap from SOL to USDC via Jupiter.

Cash App doesn't charge to receive USDC for now (it has said a fee may come later). Claims to a Solana wallet are sent as SOL with no swap.

pump.fun's fees

pump.fun charges its own trading fees on every buy and sell, set by pump.fun and subject to change by them. Part of each trade's fee is the creator fee, which on CashPad coins accrues to the assigned X account.
