Service fees

Last updated: 2026-08-15

This page explains the fees that apply when a project owner creates and successfully finalizes a presale on CheesePad.

Summary​

  • Presale creation fee: paid when creating a presale.
  • Success fee: charged only if the presale is successfully finalized (e.g., finalized and proceeds to listing).
  • Network fees: gas fees paid to the blockchain network are separate and always paid by the user.

Both fees are stored in the launchpad's on-chain platform config rather than hardcoded, so the values below describe the current schedule, not a permanent guarantee. Integrators should read the live values instead of assuming them. See fees in the launchpad guide for the exact fields and how to query them.

Presale creation fee (BNB Smart Chain)​

  • 1 BNB per presale.

The 0.25 BNB promotional rate that ran through 2025-12-31 has ended.

Success fee (successful finalization)​

  • 5% of total funds raised for a presale that is successfully finalized.
  • The success fee applies only when the presale raises funds and is finalized (e.g., proceeds to listing). If the presale is not finalized, the success fee does not apply.

Example​

If a presale raises 100 BNB and is successfully finalized, the success fee is 5 BNB (5% of 100 BNB).

Other launch types​

This page's headline numbers cover presales. MicroSales and Melt Pool launches have their own fee structure:

  • MicroSale — a flat 5% platform fee taken from the raise at finalize.
  • Melt Pool — a flat 1% fee on every curve trade (buy and sell). This applies while the token is on the curve and stops once it graduates to a DEX.

Tax-token platform fee​

Tax tokens (minted through the tax-token create paths on a MicroSale or Melt Pool) let the creator set a buy/sell tax that funds their own tokenomics. On top of that creator tax, CheesePad charges an additional 10% platform fee on the creator tax:

  • During a Melt Pool's curve phase — the 10% platform fee on the creator tax applies in addition to the 1% curve trade fee above.
  • After graduation / listing — the 1% trade fee no longer applies, but the 10% platform fee on the creator tax continues for as long as the tax is live.

A no-tax token has no creator tax, so it only ever pays the 1% curve trade fee (and nothing after listing). The 10% platform-fee rate is stored in the launchpad's on-chain config, so read the live value rather than assuming it. See the launchpad developer guide and the token fee model for details.

Notes​

  • Fees are subject to change. This page is the canonical fee schedule for CheesePad documentation.
