Graduation

​
What triggers graduation

Graduation occurs when the has collected enough to reach the graduation market cap defined at launch. The minimum amount raised to graduate is 15,000 USDC (or equivalent in SOL). In meme mode, graduation happens at a market cap of 75,000 USDC, with approximately 15,390 USDC raised on the curve. In custom mode, the threshold depends on the graduation market cap chosen by the creator.

​
What happens at graduation

  1. The quote tokens raised on the bonding curve are migrated to a new Meteora pool.
  2. The corresponding token allocation (21% in meme mode, variable in custom mode) is paired with the raised capital in the pool.
  3. All LP tokens from this pool are permanently locked. No one can remove liquidity.
After graduation, the token trades on the Meteora pool. The Studio bonding curve is no longer active.
If a token never reaches its graduation threshold, it remains on the Studio bonding curve indefinitely. Users can still buy and sell on the curve.The token may disappear from Alphascan if there is no trading activity, but it will reappear when trades resume. No funds are lost: the bonding curve continues to function normally.

​
Fees

​
Trading fee: 1% on all transactions

A 1% fee is charged on every buy and sell transaction throughout the entire lifetime of the token. This applies both on the bonding curve (before graduation) and on the Meteora DAMMv2 pool (after graduation). The 1% fee is split:
  • 50% to the creator.
  • 50% to Jupiter.
This fee structure does not change after graduation. The creator continues earning their share of trading fees from the Meteora pool.

​
Anti-sniper fee

During the anti-sniper window (first 15 to 60 seconds after launch), an additional fee is charged on top of the 1% trading fee. This fee starts at 99% and decays to 0%. The anti-sniper fee goes entirely to the creator.

Adding liquidity to any pool carries risk. The value of your position depends on the price of the token. If the token price drops significantly, you may lose part or all of your deposited capital.
