The pool fee

Every swap in a coin's pool pays 1%. Rhea keeps a fifth of it. The position, which holds the coin's whole supply, earns the other 80%, and a claim splits it 70% to the creator, 30% to the protocol, a split snapshotted when the coin launched.

Collecting is permissionless: anyone may press Collect pool fees on a coin's page. The locker asks Rhea for the position's accrued fees (removing zero liquidity: fees only, never principal), forwards them to the factory, and the factory books each side. The creator claims their share from the same page; the NEAR side arrives as plain NEAR.

The tax on buys and sells

A creator may set a tax of 0–5% at launch, one rate for buys and sells alike. It is charged by the coin itself: on a sale (coins going into Rhea from an ordinary holder) and on a buy (coins coming out of Rhea to an ordinary holder, a router included), the tax share of the coins goes to the coin's own pot. Transfers between wallets are not taxed, nor is the creator's dev buy.

The pot is sold into the pool for the pair asset and the proceeds are credited to holders. Coins launched before buys were taxed keep a sell-only tax.

Dividends

Dividends are paid in the pair asset and tracked by an accumulator inside the coin: one number for the whole coin and one per holder, settled on every transfer. A distribution to a hundred thousand holders costs one write; a claim costs one. Balances sitting in the pool, the locker or the factory earn nothing.

Your claimable dividends show on the coin's page and in your portfolio.

The fee route

A creator can route their share of the fees elsewhere: to holders, as dividends, or to burn, where the coin share is burned outright and the pair-asset share buys the coin in its own pool and burns that too. The protocol's share funds the Prism token's buyback the same way.
