# 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 the pair token selected at token creation, which may be ETH, USDC or SOL on Base. * Trade rewards are only earned on trades that happen during the Bonding Curve phase on Base.meme. ### 2. Market Rewards (After Graduation) After a coin graduates, trading moves from the Bonding Curve on Base.meme to a Uniswap market. The fee and distribution depend on **when the coin was created**. Coins created **on or after December 5,** **2025**will be migrated to **Uniswap V4** after graduate**.** All trades on the Uniswap V4 market are subject to a **2% fee**, distributed the same way as during the Bonding Curve phase: * 1% to Creator Rewards * 0.2% to Trade Referral Rewards * 0.2% to Create Referral Rewards * 0.6% to Base.meme Coins created **before December 5,** **2025**will be migrated to **Uniswap V3** after graduate**.** 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 market (V3 or V4) is deployed. * Coins created on or after December 5, 2025 use Uniswap V4 market; while coins created before that date use Uniswap V3 market. * Market rewards are NOT earned on trades on alternative markets established by third parties. * For Uniswap V4, market rewards for buy and sell trades are paid in the pair token selected at token creation, which may be ETH, USDC or SOL on Base. * For Uniswap V3, 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. * In both Uniswap V3 and V4 markets, rewards accumulate in Base.meme’s Reward Protocol and must be claimed manually before they reach user wallets. ## Understanding Each Reward: ### Creator Rewards: Earned by the coin creator. The recipient remains the same across all trades for the same coin. ### Trade Referral Rewards: Earned by users who drive traffic that results in a trade. Each trade can have a different reward recipient, even for the same coin. ### Create Referral Rewards: If the creator of the coin was invited to Base.meme by another user, the inviter gets this reward. The recipient remains the same across all trades for the same coin. ### Base.meme Fee: This fee helps support the ongoing development and maintenance of the platform. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
