Fees
1.10% per trade, of which a quarter point goes straight back to the traders who paid it — a net cost of 0.85% against the 1.25% charged by the model this was built against. Creators take 0.50%, which is not a choice but the ceiling: LaunchLab rejects any platform that tries to pay them more.

What this is, precisely
The rebate is a share of fees collected that epoch, split across the wallets that generated them. If a pool trades nothing, the rebate is zero. It is not a yield, it is not fixed, and it is never paid out of anyone's deposit — there is no deposit.
That distinction is the whole design. A structure that pays earlier participants out of money put in by later ones is a Ponzi scheme, it is illegal, and it is not what is built here. Every number on this page is downstream of real trading volume, and goes to zero when the volume does.
Fee splits are the published model, not a promise of profit. Trading these assets can and frequently does lose the whole position.
