Fee Structure

PumpSwap charges 0.30% per trade:

• 0.25% → liquidity providers

• 0.05% → token creator

Bootstrap works with the 0.05% creator fee. No new tax on traders.

Bootstrap's Cut

5% of the creator fee (not trade volume).

PumpSwap fee (0.30%)	$3.00
Creator fee (0.05%)	$0.50
Bootstrap (5% of creator fee)	$0.025
To creator's config	$0.475

Bootstrap makes 2.5 cents on a $1,000 trade.

Why Incentives Align

Bootstrap only earns when tokens generate sustained volume — which requires healthy liquidity. The platform can't profit from extraction. It profits when tokens last.

Comparison

Model	Cost to Traders	Liquidity Impact
No fee management	None	Fees extracted, pool flat
Token tax	1-10% per trade	Some growth, kills volume
DAO treasury	None	Slow, discretionary
Bootstrap	None	Continuous compounding
