EdgeTek Mode — Advanced Custom Architecture 
EdgeTek Mode is the advanced launch framework for creators who want to engineer their token's economics. On top of a fixed 1Edge platform fee, it gives the deployer a configurable fee budget to route across builder revenue, buyback-and-burn, and accelerated liquidity compounding — and that structure carries through after the token graduates to a DEX.
At a glance
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Deployment fee | 0.5 SOL |
| 1Edge platform fee | 1.00% (fixed) |
| Builder / routing fee | up to 3.80% (configurable) |
| LP compounding | from 0.20% (configurable up) |
| Buyback & burn | configurable (within the routing budget) |
| Graduation target | 85 SOL on the bonding curve |
The fee structure
An EdgeTek token's total fee is built from a fixed platform slice plus a configurable budget the deployer designs:
| Slice | Rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 1Edge platform fee | 1.00% | Fixed. The slice your tier rebate discounts. |
| Builder / routing fee | up to 3.80% | Configurable. Routed across the deployer's chosen destinations. |
| LP compounding | 0.20% minimum | Always present; the deployer can raise it from the routing budget. |
| Buyback & burn | configurable | A share of the routing budget allocated to on-chain buyback-and-burn. |
ℹ️ The 0.20% LP compounding minimum is always preset on every launch — Edge or EdgeTek. EdgeTek simply lets you raise it and add other streams on top.
Designing your fee budget
The deployer has up to 3.80% of configurable fee to allocate however their strategy demands. It can all go to one destination, or be split across several:
- Builder revenue — routed to a deployer vault you specify (your direct, automated income stream in SOL).
- Buyback & burn — a programmatic on-chain burn that permanently reduces supply and adds constant buy pressure.
- Extra LP compounding — accelerate liquidity depth beyond the 0.20% base.
| Strategy | Builder | Buyback & burn | Extra LP |
|---|---|---|---|
| Revenue-focused | high | — | — |
| Deflationary | — | high | low |
| Deep-liquidity | low | low | high |
| Balanced | split evenly across all three |
⚠️ Total fee load matters. A 1.00% platform fee plus a maxed 3.80% routing budget is a high per-trade cost that can deter trading. Calibrate to your goals and your community. See Launch Engineering Best Practices.
Setting your buyback threshold
When you allocate fees to buyback & burn, you also set a SOL buyback threshold — the balance the buyback vault must accumulate before it fires. Choose from 5, 10, 25, or 50 SOL. The moment saved-up buyback fees reach your chosen level, the program automatically buys back and burns tokens with the vault, then resets and starts saving again.
A lower threshold (5 SOL) means frequent, smaller burns; a higher one (50 SOL) means rarer, larger ones. It's your call on how aggressive — and how visible — you want the deflation to be.
Claiming & automation
EdgeTek splits into one stream you control and two that run themselves:
- Builder / routing fees — claimable. Your custom wallet-routing fees accrue to your vault and are claimable from the dashboard. After graduation, they're claimed automatically for you.
- LP compounding — autonomous. Runs on its own, compounding into the liquidity pool on every trade.
- Buyback & burn — autonomous. Fires automatically whenever the vault hits your buyback threshold — no action needed.
The Tek Fees dashboard
Everything is visible under Tek Fees in your dashboard — the full history of your token's fees: how much has been generated, where it's been routed, and the amount bought back and burned. It's the live view of your flywheel working.
After graduation
Unlike Edge mode's market-cap-scaling fee, an EdgeTek token's configured fee structure stays flat after it graduates to Meteora — the levers you set persist for the life of the token.
⚠️ As with all graduated tokens, Meteora takes a 20% protocol cut of trading fees post-migration, so each stream delivers roughly 80% of its configured rate. The structure is close to the pre-bond rates, but not identical. See The Meteora Graduation Protocol.
Guardrails still apply
Like Edge mode, EdgeTek launches can enable wallet buy caps and trade cooldowns at deployment — both active only during the bonding curve.
The lifecycle
- Deploy — pay the 0.5 SOL framework fee, configure your fee budget (builder / buyback / LP), set metadata and guardrails.
- Bonding curve — the token trades against a virtual-token curve with your configured fees active.
- Graduation — at 85 SOL the token migrates to Meteora and your fee structure persists (less Meteora's 20% cut).
