Edge Mode — Standard Launch 
Edge Mode is the standard 1Edge launch: a clean bonding-curve deployment with a simple, fixed fee structure and optional safety guardrails. It's built for creators who want a fair launch without configuring custom tokenomics.
At a glance
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Deployment fee | 0.02 SOL |
| Total trading fee (pre-bond) | 1.15% |
| Trading fee (post-bond) | Dynamic — scales 1.15% → 0.55% with market cap |
| Graduation target | 85 SOL on the bonding curve |
| Safety guardrails | Optional — wallet buy caps & trade cooldowns |
| Fee configurability | None (fixed — that's the point) |
The fee breakdown
Every trade on an Edge-mode token carries a 1.15% total fee, split three ways:
| Slice | Rate | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| 1Edge platform fee | 0.55% | The house fee that funds the platform — and the slice your tier rebate discounts. |
| Creator fee | 0.40% | Paid to the token's deployer. |
| LP compounding | 0.20% | Compounds straight back into the token's liquidity, deepening the pool on every trade. |
ℹ️ Your tier rebates the platform fee. Depending on your tier, 10%–30% of the 0.55% platform fee is rebated back to you in SOL — so active traders pay less.
The same structure applies to buys and sells.
Claiming your creator fee
The 0.40% creator fee accrues to you on every trade, before and after graduation. It's yours to claim whenever you like from the Creator Fees section of your dashboard.
ℹ️ Creator fees live under Creator Fees in the dashboard — the one place your earned creator revenue is tracked and claimed.
How fees change after graduation
Edge mode uses a dynamic, market-cap-aware fee once a token graduates to Meteora. The total fee starts at 1.15% and steps down as the token's market cap grows, across five tiers:
| Market-cap tier | Total fee |
|---|---|
| 1 (smallest) | 1.15% |
| 2 | 1.00% |
| 3 | 0.85% |
| 4 | 0.70% |
| 5 (largest) | 0.55% |
ℹ️ Why it falls: early on, a slightly higher fee compounds liquidity faster and discourages churn. As the token matures and deepens, the fee drops toward 0.55% — rewarding tokens that grow. See The Meteora Graduation Protocol.
⚠️ Post-graduation, Meteora takes a 20% protocol cut of trading fees, so the project receives roughly 80% of each slice. Fees are therefore close to the bonding-curve rates, but not identical.
Optional guardrails
Edge mode can still toggle the platform's on-chain protections at deployment:
- Wallet buy caps — cap how much any single wallet can accumulate during the bonding-curve phase (configurable from 1% to 3.5% of supply).
- Trade cooldowns — enforce a delay (0–300s) between trades per wallet.
These apply only during the bonding curve. See Wallet Buy Caps & Trade Cooldowns.
The lifecycle
- Deploy — pay the 0.02 SOL fee, set metadata, optionally toggle guardrails.
- Bonding curve — buyers and sellers trade against a virtual-token curve; the 1.15% fee applies, with 0.20% compounding into LP.
- Graduation — at 85 SOL the token migrates to Meteora, the dynamic market-cap fee takes over, and pre-graduation constraints lift. See The Meteora Graduation Protocol.
When to choose Edge mode
Choose Edge if you want a launch that's simple, predictable, and trust-minimized — fixed fees, no configuration, liquidity that deepens automatically, and a fee that falls as your token grows. If you want custom builder fees, programmatic buyback-and-burn, or accelerated LP compounding, use EdgeTek Mode.
