# Fee Distribution Types

### Five Fee Distribution Type

At launch, creators choose one of five models for how their custom fees are used. This choice defines the economic philosophy of the token.

#### 1. Staking Pool Distribution (POB Staking) :star:

Custom fees go into a staking pool and are distributed to holders who stake their tokens. Only stakers earn - rewarding long-term conviction. Creators must also stake to receive a share.

* **Best for:** Creators who want to prove commitment and build community alignment
* **How traders benefit:** Stake to earn fees from trading activity

#### 2. Creator Keeps Fees

100% of custom fees go directly to the creator's wallet, claimable at any time. This is the legacy model.

* **Best for:** Creators who need direct revenue from their token
* **How traders benefit:** Transparent - traders can see this model is active and decide if the fee is fair

#### 3. Buyback & Burn

100% of custom fees are used to buy back the token from the open market. Buybacks happen automatically and bought-back tokens are burned, reducing supply.

* **Best for:** Projects focused on passive value accrual for all holders
* **How traders benefit:** Reduced supply = price support without requiring staking

#### 4. Liquidity Compounding

100% of custom fees are added back into the token's liquidity pool, deepening liquidity over time.

* **Best for:** Projects focused on price stability and reducing slippage as they grow
* **How traders benefit:** Deeper liquidity = less slippage on larger trades

Note: There are no custom fees during the bonding curve phase.

#### 5. No Custom Fee

Custom fees are set to 0%, meaning traders pay only the base platform fees. No additional costs on any trade.

* **Best for:** Community tokens, memecoins, or any launch where minimizing trader friction is the priority
* **How traders benefit:** Lowest possible trading costs, no creator fee layer on top of platform fees

> The fee model a creator chooses tells you a lot about their intentions. Check it before you buy.
