# Rewards on Base.meme

Base.meme’s mission is to make the internet valuable and free—that’s why we’re building a platform that makes creating and trading coins easy, fun, and rewarding.

## Breakdown of our Rewards:

Our Rewards enable creators and developers on Base.meme to earn from trading activity through two distinct reward systems: **Trade Rewards (Bonding Curve Phase)** and **Market Rewards (Uniswap Phase)**.

### 1. Trade Rewards

When trades happen during the Bonding Curve phase on Base.meme, fees are distributed as follows:

**2% total fee:**

* 1% to Creator Rewards
* 0.2% to Trade Referral Rewards
* 0.2% to Create Referral Rewards
* 0.6% to Base.meme

**Important notes:**

* Trade rewards for both buy and sell activity are paid in chain's native token, ETH.
* Trade rewards are only earned on trades that happen during the Bonding Curve phase on Base.meme.

### 2. Market Rewards (After Graduation)

After coin graduated, all trades on the Uniswap V3 market are subject to a 1% fee distributed as follows:

* 0.5% to Creator Rewards
* 0.1% to Create Referral Rewards
* 0.4% to Base.meme

**Important notes:**

* Market rewards are only paid after the coin has graduated from the Bonding Curve phase and the Uniswap V3 market is deployed.
* Market rewards are NOT earned on trades on alternative markets established by third parties.
* Market rewards for buy trades are paid in chain native token, which is ETH, while those for sell trades are paid in the coin being traded.
* Users are required to manually call a method to claim these rewards; they are not distributed automatically.

## Understanding Each Reward:

### Creator Rewards:

Earned by the creator of the coin. The recipient is the same for all trades on a coin.

### Trade Referral Rewards:

Earned by users who drive traffic that results in a trade. Each trade on a coin can have a different recipient for this reward.

### Create Referral Rewards:

If the creator of the coin was invited to Base.meme by another user, the inviter gets this reward. The recipient is the same for all trades on a coin.

### Base.meme Fee:

This fee helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform.
