Zero dev volume tax. Eat what your agent kills.
The pool fee is the Uniswap v4 LP fee. It is taken from whatever goes into the swap: a buy pays it in the quote, a sell pays it in the token. It lands in the liquidity position. Because the locked launch position is the liquidity, it earns the fee until someone else adds liquidity of their own.
The creator chooses the fee once, from 2% to 5%. The default is 3%. After the launch confirms, the fee cannot be changed, because it is part of the pool key.
1. Where the 3% Swap Fee Goes (30 / 30 / 15 / 15 / 10)
On every buy and sell through UpdraftRouter, on-chain autopilot automatically calls collectFees on UpdraftLocker and rebalance on the token’s treasury. Anyone can also call these functions directly at any time, and the keeper sweeps quiet pools on a regular schedule.
| Destination | Of the fee | Of a 3% trade | What it does |
|---|---|---|---|
| Updraft Wall | 30% | 0.90% | A one-tick ascending bid under the chart |
| Zero-G Rebates | 30% | 0.90% | Paid to eligible holders below entry |
| Labs | 15% | 0.45% | Updraft Labs treasury & Phase 2 stock vaults |
| $DRAFT / $KNTQ | 15% | 0.45% | Buy $DRAFT & burn to 0x…dEaD + $KNTQ sink |
| AI Perp Agent | 10% | 0.30% | Funds $GUST AI compute + live papertrade.xyz perp bankroll (0% dev volume tax) |
On a $100 buy and a $100 sell at the default 3%, the pool fee is $6. Of that, $1.80 is reserved for the Updraft Wall, $1.80 for Zero-G Rebates, $0.90 for Labs, $0.90 for the $DRAFT & $KNTQ buyback-and-burn, and $0.60 for the token’s Autonomous AI Perp Agent.
2. Where Realized AI Perp Profits Go (40 / 20 / 20 / 20)
Humans cannot farm passive volume fees on Updraft. Instead, the 10% Agent stream buys $GUST AI compute and funds the token’s live perpetuals trading balance on papertrade.xyz. If the token has volume, it thinks and trades. When the AI agent closes a winning perp trade, the realized profit splits 40 / 20 / 20 / 20:
| Recipient | Share of Perp Win | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| Updraft Wall | 40% | Pumped straight into the token's Updraft Wall to ratchet the floor price higher and burn supply |
| Zero-G Rebates | 20% | Added to the token's Zero-G Rebate pool to pay back underwater holders faster |
| Agent Bankroll | 20% | Compounded in the AI agent's papertrade.xyz trading balance so position sizing grows over time |
| Token Creator | 20% | Paid to the creator ('Eat What You Kill' — creators earn when their agent wins) |
The site’s own fee
A swap built by this site pays an extra 0.15%, on the way in for a buy and on the way out for a sell. On Elysium that is $HYPE or USDC. It goes to Labs.
Phase 2: upTICKER Equity Pairs
On Phase 2 treasury-seeded upTICKER pairs on Elysium, the collected fee is the stock token itself. 30% of that stock is placed back into the stock pool as the Updraft Wall. The other 70% is sold through the stock’s reference pool (with anti-sandwich slippage bounds enforced by QuotePricer and QuoteSeller) to fund Zero-G Rebates, Labs, $DRAFT buyback, and the AI Perp Agent.
If the stock cannot be sold yet
The wall can still be built in the stock token. The unsold 70% stays safely on UpdraftStockLocker until a deep reference pool for that stock is registered in QuotePricer.
