Creator Revenue
Learn how WickDeck trading fees accrue to token creators, how Fee Vault accounting separates balances, and how eligible revenue is claimed onchain.
What is it?
A share of each trading fee is credited to the market’s creator in the Fee Vault, in the quote asset that paid the fee. Creators self-claim. The terminal’s Earnings tab is the claim surface.
Why does it exist?
Fee share is how the protocol pays creators without letting them change the fee or pause sells. The split is a vault constant, not a per-token setting.
How does it work?
- The curve or router accrues the fee to the vault on each trade.
- Creator share is tracked per creator and per quote asset.
- Claim is self-serve for each allowed quote listed on the quote-asset registry.
- Public creator profiles currently hide fee totals. Earnings stay on the connected wallet’s portfolio.
What can go wrong?
Fee share is not the same as token value. A creator can earn fees while selling inventory. Unclaimed balances sit in the vault until the creator claims.
What should traders understand?
Do not infer quality from a creator’s fee total — and do not assume you can see that total on a public profile. See Fees for the split.
WickDeck protocol constraints can reduce certain technical risks, but cannot guarantee token value, creator behavior, market liquidity, or trading outcomes.
