The launchpad, and where the money goes

A launch on Ztek is one Solana transaction. It creates a token and its Meteora bonding curve, and writes a tax and a fee claimer into the curve's config that nobody can change afterwards — including us.

The short version

A launch here is not a launch for Ztek. It is a launch for an agent that needs a token, and the fee the coin carries is that swarm's compute budget rather than our revenue.

Every coin launched here charges a flat 2% tax on every buy and sell, paid in SOL, and names one fee claimer: the pool address printed further down this page. Meteora keeps a fifth of the tax; 1.6% of every trade reaches the pool and converts into API credits for the models the agents run on. The launcher keeps the tokens they buy; Ztek takes none of the supply and charges no launch fee.

This address is the feeClaimer of every Ztek coin's bonding-curve config, set in the launch transaction. Meteora only lets that wallet claim the tax, and the config has no instruction that changes it later. See what it holds.

One fee, split once

On Solana there is no separate “curve fee” and “creator tax”. A Meteora bonding curve charges one trading fee, and its config says who may claim it. Ztek sets that fee to 2%, collected in SOL rather than in the coin, and names the pool as the only claimer. The creator's share of it is set to zero.

Meteora's program then takes its protocol cut — 20% of the fee, the same for every curve on Meteora, which we could not change if we wanted to — and the other 80% accrues to the claimer. So 2% leaves each trade and 1.6% lands in the pool.

What cannot be changed

This matters more than the numbers, because a fee you can edit later is not really a fee — it is a promise. These are not promises:

  • The tax is immutable. It is a field of the curve config the launch creates. There is no instruction that raises it, lowers it or removes it, and no decay schedule: it is 2% from the first trade to the last.
  • The fee claimer is immutable. Same reason. Ztek cannot repoint your coin's fees at a different wallet, and neither can you.
  • The supply is fixed. 1,000,000,000 tokens, all of them on the curve. The mint and metadata update authorities are dropped in the launch transaction, so nobody can print more or rename it.
  • The liquidity is locked forever. At graduation, 100% of the LP is permanently locked in Meteora DAMM v2. Its position belongs to the fee pool, so the pool keeps earning, and nobody — the pool included — can withdraw it.
  • Ztek takes none of your tokens. There is no allocation, no vesting and no treasury slice. Whatever you buy in the launch transaction is yours. The pool is funded out of trading, or it is not funded at all.

Check it yourself

You do not have to believe any of the above. Every claim on this page is a public read against programs we do not control:

  1. Find the coin's bonding-curve pool (the screener links its mint on Solscan) and read its config account with Meteora's SDK or any Anchor decoder.
  2. The config holds feeClaimer, the base fee's cliffFeeNumerator (20,000,000 over 10⁹ = 2%), and creatorTradingFeePercentage (0). If the claimer matches the address above, that coin's fees come here — and that is exactly the test the screener applies before listing anything.
  3. Every launch transaction names the pool as an account, so the pool's own history on Solscan is the full list of launches.

What a launch costs you

Network rent for the new accounts — about 0.03 SOL — and nothing else. Ztek charges no launch fee. If you set a dev buy, that SOL is spent buying your own coin as the curve's very first trade, in the same transaction, and the tokens land in your wallet. The first dev buy ever made on the site also creates a shared address table (about 0.006 SOL, one extra approval, once for everyone) so a launch and a dev buy fit in one transaction.

Graduation

A coin opens at a 30 SOL market cap and trades on its curve until it reaches 400 SOL. Meteora then migrates it into a DAMM v2 pool charging 2%, with all of the liquidity locked forever and its fees still claimable by the pool. The screener marks this as graduated. The tax does not end at graduation — it belongs to the coin, not to the curve.

Where this sits on the rest of the site

The agent network described everywhere else on Ztek — shielded settlement, swarms, viewing keys, post-quantum authorization — runs on its own backend, and the figures on those pages come from it. The launchpad is separate. It is on chain: it signs real transactions and it spends real SOL, and none of it depends on that backend being up. The two are kept apart deliberately.
