Trading Fee (Total)
1.25%
Same for Standard & Premium
Token Creation
0.0392 SOL
One-time — creation + metadata + rent
Graduation Fee
1.50 SOL
Flat fee per graduation
Fees applied to every buy and sell transaction. The total is the same for all tokens — but how it splits between the platform and token creator depends on the token tier.
Standard Tokens
Platform Fee
Platform operations
0.75%
Creator Reward
Goes directly to token creator
0.50%
Total per trade
1.25%
Premium Tokens
Platform Fee
Platform operations
0.65%
Creator Reward
Higher creator reward
0.60%
Total per trade
1.25%
Same total fee for traders (1.25%), more for creators who upgrade. Premium token creators earn 0.60% per trade vs 0.50% for standard — a bigger share of every trade.
Trades Under $100.00:
A minimum platform fee of $1.00 USD applies instead of the percentage. The 0.50% creator reward is still charged on top, so the effective rate on small trades is higher than 1.25%.
Trades $100.00 and Above:
Percentage-based fee of 1.25% is applied
Standard Token
Premium Token
One-time costs incurred when creating a new token
Token Creation
Creating the SPL token on Solana blockchain
0.02 SOL
Metadata Storage
Storing token metadata (name, symbol, image)
0.005 SOL
Account Rent
Solana rent for the mint, metadata, pool & vault accounts your token needs
0.0142 SOL
Total Creation Fee: 0.0392 SOL
Paid once, in a single wallet approval, before your token is created. Keep an extra ~0.01 SOL in your wallet for network transaction fees, plus any optional pre-purchase amount to seed initial liquidity on the bonding curve.
Optional Pre-Purchase: You may optionally purchase tokens of your own token at creation to seed initial liquidity. This amount is separate from creation fees and is entirely optional.
Optional one-time upgrade to feature your token in the Premium Tokens showcase
Premium Token Listing Fee
Feature your token in the Premium Tokens scrolling showcase on the home page
$100
Payment: Premium upgrades are paid as a direct SOL transfer at the live USD/SOL exchange rate. The exact amount in SOL will be displayed at the time of upgrade. All premium upgrades are final and non-refundable.
The RugCheck website is free with no limits on cached reads. Developers using the JSON API get a free tier with every API key, and can upgrade for higher volume. Quotas count fresh scans only — cached reads never cost anything.

Payment: paid tiers are prepaid monthly (30-day) terms paid in SOL at the live exchange rate, non-refundable. Renewing the same tier extends your term; switching tiers pro-rates unused time into the new tier by price — paid value is never lost. Cancel anytime from the key's Upgrade dialog (tier stays active until the term ends). Manage keys at API Keys.
Buying or selling external (non-ThunderLaunch) tokens through the in-app swap on RugCheck reports routes through Jupiter with a platform fee of 1.00%, always collected in SOL: on buys it's taken from the SOL you pay, on sells from the SOL you receive — the quote you see before signing is already net of the fee. Minimum swap size is 0.01 SOL. Jupiter routing and Solana network fees apply as usual. Trading ThunderLaunch-native tokens uses the standard trading fees above instead.
Applied when a token "graduates" to a DEX — which happens once its bonding curve is complete, meaning 85 SOL has been raised into the curve. That is the only condition: there is no separate market-cap or liquidity requirement, and the SOL price does not affect it.
Graduation Fee
1.50 SOL
A flat fee charged when your token graduates to a decentralized exchange (ThunderSwap, Raydium). This fee covers network transaction costs and platform maintenance. It is deducted from your liquidity pool amount.
Example: If your liquidity pool is $10,000 at graduation, a 1.50 SOL fee is deducted, and the remaining amount is migrated to the DEX.
Base network fees set by the Solana blockchain
In addition to ThunderLaunch fees, all transactions incur Solana network fees. These fees vary based on network conditions and priority.
Standard
0.002 SOL
During low network congestion
Normal
0.005 SOL
During moderate network activity
Priority
0.01 SOL
For guaranteed fast processing
Trading fees are charged automatically on every buy and sell transaction. For ThunderLaunch-native tokens, the fee is charged in addition to your trade amount — buy 1 SOL worth of tokens and you receive the full 1 SOL worth, with the fee taken from your wallet on top (and on sells you receive the full SOL proceeds, with the fee charged separately). Only the external-token swap on RugCheck reports works differently: there the fee is deducted fromthe SOL amount you're swapping (see the External-Token Swap Fee section below).
No. All fees are final and non-refundable. By accepting our Terms of Service and using ThunderLaunch, you acknowledge and accept all applicable fees without exception.
Yes. Creator fees go directly to the token creator's wallet — 0.50% for standard tokens and 0.60% for premium tokens. ThunderLaunch receives only the platform portion (0.75% standard / 0.65% premium).
Fee rates may be updated at ThunderLaunch's discretion. Any changes will be announced on this page. Your continued use of the platform after changes constitute acceptance of the new fees.
The tiered fee structure ensures fair pricing for all users. Small trades benefit from predictable flat fees, while large trades benefit from percentage-based fees that scale with transaction size.
If your token fails to launch after you've paid the creation fee, the platform automatically refunds the fee from the same wallet it was deposited to. Solana network fees for the attempted transactions are set by the blockchain and cannot be refunded.
No platform fee — creator rewards are claimed from your dashboard with only the standard Solana network fee (fractions of a cent) for the claim transaction. Everything you've earned arrives in your wallet.
No. The pre-purchase is your own buy of your own token to seed initial liquidity on the bonding curve — you receive tokens for it like any other trade (standard trading fees apply to that buy). It is entirely optional and separate from the creation fee.
Nobody pays it out of pocket — the flat 1.50SOL fee is deducted from the token's liquidity pool at the moment it graduates to a DEX. Traders and creators are never charged directly for graduation.
No — the $100Premium token upgrade is a one-time, permanent payment per token: no recurring charges, never expires. (Don't confuse it with RugCheck API subscriptions, which are 30-day prepaid terms.)
The RugCheck website is completely free — no wallet, no signup, no fee. The JSON API is also free to start (every key includes 1,000 fresh scans/month); Pro ($49/month) and Scale ($199/month) add higher quotas, rate limits, batches, forceRefresh, and rugged-alert webhooks. Cached reads are free and unlimited on every tier.
Paid API tiers are prepaid 30-day terms paid in SOL at the live exchange rate — nothing auto-renews, and payments are non-refundable. Renewing the same tier extends your term; switching tiers pro-rates your unused time into the new tier by price, so paid value is never lost. Cancelling keeps the tier active until the end of the paid term, then the key returns to Free.
Always in SOL, never in the token — 1.00% is taken from the SOL you pay on a buy or from the SOL you receive on a sell, inside the same transaction. The "You receive" estimate shown before you sign is already net of the fee, and if the swap fails no fee is charged. Swaps below 0.01 SOL are rejected.
No — platform trading fees are collected inside the trade transaction itself, so if the transaction fails on-chain, no platform fee is taken. Solana's small network fee for the attempt is set by the blockchain and applies regardless.
