How it compares
Fee sharing is table stakes on this chain now. What differs between platforms is the mechanism, who the fees can point at, and what happens to your liquidity.
Against a transfer tax token
| Where the fee is taken | Etherflow: inside the pool. Tax token: inside the token's transfer function. |
|---|---|
| Aggregator routes | Etherflow: pay in full. Tax token: pay nothing. |
| What the token looks like | Etherflow: a plain ERC-20. Tax token: an ERC-20 that rewrites balances mid transfer. |
| Integration | Etherflow: anything that handles ERC-20. Tax token: often breaks on transferFrom-based integrations. |
| Ceiling | Etherflow: 2%, constant in the contract. Tax token: whatever the deployer set, commonly up to 10%. |
| How it reads in 2026 | Etherflow: current. Tax token: a honeypot marker on most launch checklists. |
Against a bonding curve launchpad
The pump.fun shape, which hood.fun and several others run on this chain: buyers trade against a curve, and when enough has been raised the coin graduates into a locked pool.
| Price discovery | Curve: gradual, and the platform holds the market until graduation. Etherflow: a real pool from block one. |
|---|---|
| Cost to launch | Curve: often free, the platform seeds nothing. Etherflow: you seed the liquidity, minimum 0.005 ETH. |
| Graduation risk | Curve: a coin that never graduates is stuck on the curve. Etherflow: there is no graduation to fail. |
| Fee recipient | Curve: usually the creator, sometimes holders. Etherflow: any address the creator names. |
| Platform custody | Curve: the platform holds funds until graduation. Etherflow: nothing is ever held on your behalf. |
Neither is better in the abstract. A curve is friendlier if you have no ETH and want the platform to bootstrap the market. Etherflow suits you if you would rather pay for real depth up front and have nobody holding anything of yours in the meantime.
Against Bags
Closest in mechanism: a v4 hook taking 2% of the ETH leg, split evenly between creator and protocol. The differences are that our ceiling is 2% rather than a fixed 2%, the split is yours to choose rather than fixed at half, and the recipient does not have to be the creator.
What only this one does
The fee recipient is an arbitrary address, decided by the creator, fixed at launch and public on the coin page forever. That is the feature. Every other platform assumes the person launching is the person who should be paid.
Which makes some things possible that otherwise are not:
- a coin whose trading fees fund a cause, verifiable by anyone reading the pool config;
- a coin launched by a community for a creator who never touches the launchpad;
- a coin whose fees fund a DAO treasury or a public good rather than one wallet.
A feature is not a moat
What we do not have
- No bonding curve, so no zero-cost launch.
- No trending tab, no boosts and nothing that can be paid for. The board sorts by chain data only.
- No chart on the coin page yet. Trade the pool on any v4 front end.
- No mobile wallet support beyond in-app browsers, because WalletConnect is not wired up yet.
- No audit.
