Fees
Every strategy pays the same fees, on the curve and in the pool alike: Pons' fee and the creator tax on every trade, a small reward on every burn pass, and once, when the strategy is created, mystrat's creation fee, with Pons' launch fee for a token launched here. The trading fee and the tax are charged by Pons, so they apply wherever the trade is placed, here or on Pons. The figures are for tokens launched through mystrat on Robinhood Chain; attached tokens are at the end of that part, and Base, which charges differently, comes last.
On every trade
| Charge | Of every trade | Goes to |
|---|---|---|
| Pons' fee | 1% | 0.3 points to Pons, 0.7 points to the vault, as recorded at launch |
| Creator tax | 10% | the vault |
A buyer or seller pays 11% in all, and about 10.7% of the trade is owed to the vault, which collects it every few minutes. Pons' share of the 1% is a Pons setting, recorded for each token when it launches; mystrat does not control it.
How the vault splits it
| Share | Of what the vault receives | Of every trade, from the tax | With Pons' 0.7 points |
|---|---|---|---|
| Strategy | 80% | 8% | about 8.56% |
| Launcher | 10% | 1% | about 1.07% |
| Platform | 10% | 1% | about 1.07% |
Take a trade of 1 ETH. It is charged 0.11 ETH, of which 0.003 ETH stays with Pons and 0.107 ETH is owed to the vault, which keeps 0.0856 ETH for the strategy and sets aside 0.0107 ETH each for the launcher and the platform. The launch wizard shows the split from the tax alone: 8% strategy, 1% launcher, 1% platform.
Where the platform's share goes
Once a week mystrat collects the platform's share from every vault and spends 30% of it buying $SHERSTR, the platform's own strategy token, which it then sends to the dead address. The other 70% stays with the platform, less what it pays referrers.
A referrer gets a tenth of the platform's share from what the wallets they invited bring. Every connected wallet has a link on the Referrals page, its own address in the link. A wallet that opens it becomes that referrer's for good with its first trade, launch or attach on mystrat within 30 days, unless another referrer's link got there first; only transactions the wallet sends itself, straight to mystrat's contracts, count. From then on the referrer earns a tenth of the platform's share of every harvest of a strategy that wallet launched or attached on mystrat, whoever traded in it, and a tenth of the creation fee it paid. For its own trades on mystrat in other strategies, they earn a tenth of the platform's share of the creator tax: 0.1% of the trade at a 10% tax. A trade placed elsewhere pays a referrer nothing, and a trade pays only one referrer. The totals are published every 24 hours, and a referrer claims them from the Referrals page whenever they like, paying the network fee.
Burn passes
Whoever runs a burn pass keeps 0.5% of what it spends. The rest buys the token, and that buy pays Pons' fee and the creator tax like any other, so about a tenth of it comes back to the vault.
Launching
A launch costs Pons' launch fee and mystrat's creation fee, in one transaction, plus gas: 0.0005 ETH and 0.001 ETH, 0.0015 ETH in all, on 30 September 2026. Attaching a token you already launched costs the creation fee plus gas. The wizard and the attach page read both fees from the chain and show them before you sign. The creation fee goes to the platform in the same transaction. mystrat's multisig can change it, and the contract never lets it go above 0.01 ETH.
Attached tokens
A token attached from Pons keeps the creator tax it launched with, which can be anything from 1% to 10%. Its vault splits whatever arrives the same way, 80/10/10, so at a lower tax every share is smaller in proportion.
On Base
mystrat's contracts on Base are not deployed yet, so no strategy exists there and nothing below can be traded. The figures come from the contracts' tests on a fork of Base. A Base strategy token is a Clanker token in a Uniswap pool against WETH, with no Pons and no creator tax: the vault earns a share of the pool's fee instead.
| Charge | Of a buy | Of a sale |
|---|---|---|
| Reaches the vault | 10% of the WETH paid | 10% of the tokens sold, which the pool's locker sells for WETH |
| Clanker | about 2%, a fifth of the pool's fee | about 1.8% of the output |
The vault splits what it receives 80/10/10 as on Robinhood Chain: for a buy, 8% of it to the strategy and 1% each to the launcher and the platform. A sale's tokens are sold for WETH by the locker after the sale, at the price the sale left, so a large sale pays the vault somewhat less than a tenth of its ETH.
The vault's tenth assumes its liquidity is the only liquidity a trade runs through. Once a launch's first minutes are over, anyone can add liquidity to the pool, and a position at the current price takes a share of the fee in proportion to its liquidity. lockedShareBps in the indexer's API is mystrat's share of the liquidity at the price in basis points: 10000 means the vault gets the full 10%, and a lower figure means the vault gets that share of it.
