| Coin allocation   | Up to **10%** of the 100M coins                                                 | Only if the Moment graduates; vests 20% at graduation then 16% a month |
| Trading fee share | **0.2%** of the USDC side of every trade (20% of the 1% hook fee), paid in USDC | After graduation                                                       |

| Expiry share      | **70%** of the reserve                                                          | If the window closes before graduation                                 |

### Withdrawing

On your own Moment's page, **You Created This** shows:

* **Proceeds to withdraw** + **Withdraw Proceeds**
* After graduation: **Pool fees to withdraw** + **Withdraw Pool Fees**, and **Allocation claimable / vested**

Withdrawals are pull-only to the creator wallet fixed at publish. Nobody, including DyorHQ, can change the beneficiary of a live Moment.

## Fees on collects

Every collect is split at the contract:

|                                                 | Share |
| ----------------------------------------------- | ----- |
| Reserve (becomes the pool's USDC at graduation) | 75%   |
| Creator                                         | 20%   |
| DyorHQ                                          | 5%    |

Gas is paid in MON on top.

## Fees on trades (after graduation)

Every trade of a Moment coin costs about **1.5%** in total: a 0.5% LP fee on whatever you put in, plus 1% of the USDC leg, charged and held in USDC:

| Component                | Rate | Goes to                                                                 |
| ------------------------ | ---- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Pool LP fee              | 0.5% | The locked position itself (folded back into liquidity, so depth grows) |
| Hook fee: creator        | 0.2% | Creator                                                                 |
| Hook fee: DyorHQ         | 0.3% | DyorHQ                                                                  |
| Hook fee: buyback-and-LP | 0.5% | The buyback budget (below)                                              |

## Buyback-and-LP

The 0.5% buyback share accumulates in USDC. Once the budget is at least 1 USDC and at least an hour has passed since the last run, anyone can tap **Run Buyback** in the Moment's **Pool** section. The sheet shows the **Budget**, **Spends: half on coins, half paired as liquidity**, and an **Impact cap: 1%**. It buys the coin with half the budget and adds coin + USDC to the locked position, so the pool gets **deeper with volume** instead of only decaying. Runs are bounded and MEV-aware; nothing can ever be withdrawn from the position.

On the current Moments contracts, one round adds at most 0.5% of the position's liquidity; what doesn't fit waits in the Moment locker for later rounds and shows in the **Pool** section as **Held for later buyback rounds**. A round is also refused if the pool price moved more than 2% within the block, which the sheet shows as **Price check**.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://dyorhq.gitbook.io/docs/moments/earnings-and-fees.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
