Claiming fees
If a coin names you as its recipient, its creator fees wait for you: sign in with X or GitHub to claim, or get them pushed to your wallet.
- sign-in (needed for X and GitHub claims): on here
At a glance
- smallest claim
- 0.01 SOL
- smaller amounts wait until they add up
- expiry
- 90 days
- unclaimed X and GitHub fees then go to the treasury, and the coin expires for good
- transaction fee
- paid by aio
- the treasury pays for every claim
- wallet recipients
- never expire
- anyone can push the fees to that address
Three kinds of recipient
| recipient | how they are paid | expires? |
|---|---|---|
| an X account | signs in with X; a Solana wallet is made for them and the fees land there in one transaction | after 90 days unclaimed |
| a GitHub user | signs in with GitHub, same as X | after 90 days unclaimed |
| a Solana wallet | anyone can push the fees to that fixed address from the coin page, at any time | never |
How to claim
- Step 1: Open the claim page.
- Step 2: Sign in with the X or GitHub account the coin named. A Solana wallet is created for your account automatically.
- Step 3: Claim. The coin's fees move to that wallet in one transaction, and aio's treasury pays the transaction fee.
aio only asks for an X or GitHub login. It never asks for a seed phrase.
Token payouts: aio pays for a missing token account. The first payout needs a price and fees worth 1 times its rent. This threshold ends once the account exists. Holders rewards use separate rules.
The minimum and the 90 days
A claim under 0.01 SOL is refused, because opening the claim costs about 0.002 SOL of account rent. The fees stay where they are until there is more, but the 90 days keep counting.
A daily job sweeps X and GitHub fees after 90 days from launch or the last successful claim. A refused claim does not restart the clock. After expiry, later fees go to the treasury too. Wallet recipients' fees never expire.
Declining and opting out
- Decline: sign in as the named account and decline a coin. Its fees then go to the treasury on the next sweep. The coin keeps trading.
- Opt out: you can also block every future launch from naming you. aio refuses those launches.
When fees are held back
After each launch aio checks who bought first. If an early buyer is the launcher, or a wallet the launcher funded, the coin is flagged and its creator fees can't be claimed. They are swept to the treasury once 90 days have passed since launch. While the check is still running, claims wait for it to finish.
An X recipient is tied to the account's numeric X id when it can be looked up at launch. A handle that is renamed and then taken by someone else can't claim the coin.
The record
Every claim and sweep is listed with its transaction on the payouts page.
