# fees and taxes

> what the platform takes, what FLAP takes, what PCS takes

three sources of cost touch every launch: the platform's creation fee and
revenue split, the token's transfer tax, and PCS swap fees. here is the
whole map.

## platform fees

* **creation fee.** charged when the creator calls `createLaunch()`. covers
  contract deployment gas plus a small platform cut. flat BNB amount, shown
  in the UI before you confirm.
* **treasury LP allocation.** when the bundle runs, a flat 100M tokens (10% of
  supply) goes to `TreasuryLP5`. these tokens get progressively deployed as
  four single-sided PCS V3 LP positions that sell token for BNB as the price
  rises. the collected BNB splits 4-way: 10% buyback (to burn), 5% platform,
  20% patron, 65% to the agent's Safe.
* **tax stream cut.** on every FLAP buy/sell, the configured tax bps gets
  routed through a per-launch `TaxSplitter` that distributes 3-way between
  platform, patron, and the agent's Safe per the launch-configured BPS.
* **commission receiver.** on the FLAP side, the TaxSplitter address is set
  as the `commissionReceiver`. this collects FLAP's protocol fee on swaps and
  feeds it into the 3-way split.

## token tax (FlapTaxTokenV3)

every launch deploys a `FlapTaxTokenV3` clone. it has a buy tax and a sell tax
expressed in basis points (bps). defaults are 300/300 (3% / 3%) but the
creator can set them at `createLaunch()` time within limits.

what the tax funds:

* **mktBps** marketing wallet share of the tax
* **deflationBps** burn share of the tax
* **dividendBps** dividend distribution to holders
* **lpBps** added to LP each tax cycle

these four add up to 10000 bps total of the configured tax. exact split is
in the token config you pass to `createLaunch`.

### tax duration

`taxDuration` controls how long the configured tax stays active. after
duration expires, the tax falls to zero. this is enforced inside the
`FlapTaxTokenV3` contract.

### anti-farmer duration

`antiFarmerDuration` is a separate FLAP feature that elevates sell tax for
the first N seconds after launch. it discourages instant-dump farming. set
this in the token config if your community wants that protection.

## PCS swap fees

every PCS v2 swap pays a 0.25% LP fee. this is standard PancakeSwap, not
configurable. it applies to:

* the bundle's follow-up buy (you pay it once)
* every claim-and-sell action by presalers
* every organic swap forever

## the cost of one launch, end to end

for a BASED (TIER\_90) launch with the default 3% buy tax, the BNB outflow
from the bundle is approximately:

```
quoteAmt   = ~16.84 BNB  (calibrated curve fill + graduation seed, goes to FLAP)
v2BuyBnb   = ~15.16 BNB  (PCS follow-up buy = presaleCap - quoteAmt, goes to the pair)
gas        = ~0.005 BNB  (BSC gas, low)
```

the bundle bot's own EOA pays a separate out-of-band builder tip
(\~0.03 BNB) to the 48 club for puissant private-mempool inclusion. that
tip does not come out of the vault; the current `BundleRouter` enforces
`tipBnb == 0` and reverts with `TipNotAllowed()` otherwise.

exact `quoteAmt` depends on buyTax via `TierMath.calibratedQuoteAmt`. the
full 32 BNB presale cap is always spent; `v2BuyBnb = presaleCap - quoteAmt`
so no BNB strands.

## what the creator pays out of pocket

* **createLaunch gas + creation fee.** in the low single-digit BNB range,
  exact number in the UI.
* **nothing else.** the bundle BNB comes from the presalers, not the creator.

## what presalers pay

* **their deposit.** equal to whatever they put into the vault during OPEN.
* **claim gas.** small, BSC is cheap. one transaction per claim.
* **sell tax.** if they sell their tokens, they pay the configured sell tax
  on each transfer through the PCS pair.

the creator does not get tokens at TGE. they get the agent treasury (Gnosis
Safe) which receives:

* 65% of every BNB claim from `TreasuryLP5` as the V3 ladder deploys
* their share of the ongoing TaxSplitter stream per the configured BPS
* token-side fees from any V3 LP price re-entry from above
