Creator Rewards
Creator Rewards
When you launch a token on Starbase, you earn a share of the trading fees from your market.
That means:
The more your token is traded, the more you earn
Rewards scale with success as market cap grows
Starbase is designed so creators benefit from long-term trading activity — not just a one-time launch.
Earn from every trade
Every trade on your token market generates a fee.
A portion of that fee goes to you as the creator.
Creator rewards begin from the first trade
Fees are paid in real value (e.g., USDC), depending on final implementation (TBD)
How creator rewards work
Each trade generates a fee
The protocol splits that fee between:
The protocol (for reserves, infrastructure, and market support)
The creator (creator rewards)
Your share increases as your token’s market cap grows.
Creator fee share by market cap
Creator rewards are routed as a share of the user’s net trading fee, based on the token’s current market cap band.

How it’s applied: Each trade uses the token’s current market cap to determine the routing split for that trade.
Why rewards scale with success
Early-stage tokens often need more protocol support to build:
Liquidity
Floor reserves
Healthy trading conditions
As tokens prove their value with higher market caps, creators earn a larger share. This aligns creator incentives with long-term token success.
Launching a token
Creating a token market is designed to be simple:
Provide a name
Choose a symbol
Upload an image
Launch
The protocol handles:
Pricing mechanics
Floor reserves
Market infrastructure
Start earning creator rewards from the first trade.
