What a pack costs

A pack costs its listed USDC price. The pack fee and the market’s trading fee are already inside that price. Nothing is added on top, except SOL for the network, rent and randomness.

What the price pays for

Part	Rule	Paid to
Pack fee	0.50% of the amount charged. On a Fan coin machine, 2%.	With a referrer: 0.20% to the referrer, the rest to Gabox. With no referrer: Gabox, or after graduation the machine’s Mega Pack. A Fan coin machine splits it between its creator, the referrer and Gabox.
Trading fee	2% on the curve, 1.5% after graduation, inside the market price. Coins launched before 29 October 2026 keep 1.875% and 0.94%.	Meteora, Gabox and the creator
Coins	Everything else buys coins for the prize pool	The machine’s prize pool
Swap	Only on a machine not quoted in USDC: the USDC to quote token swap	The swap route
Network, rent, VRF	Variable costs, paid in SOL	Solana and MagicBlock

How the pack fee is taken

The pack fee is inclusive. The program takes it out of the pack’s budget before it buys:

market budget = budget − floor(budget × 50 / 10,000)
pack fee      = floor(amount charged × 50 / 10,000)
referrer part = floor(amount charged × 20 / 10,000)

Example: a pack priced at 10 USDC on a USDC machine has a budget of 10,000,000 raw USDC units. The market may spend up to 9,950,000. If it spends all of it, the pack fee is 50,000 units, or 0.05 USDC, and the total is exactly 10 USDC. With a referrer, 20,000 units go to the referrer and 30,000 to Gabox. If the market spends less, for example on the last pack of the curve, the fee is smaller and the rest stays with the buyer.

Trading fees

Every trade on a Gabox coin pays a trading fee inside the market price. Gabox only accepts market configs with these terms. Meteora fixes a coin’s fees when it launches, so a coin keeps the terms it launched with. New coins pay the first two rows. Coins launched before 29 October 2026 keep the last two:

Market	Total	Meteora	Gabox	Creator
Bonding curve (DBC)	2%	0.32%	0.72%	0.96%
After graduation (DAMM v2)	1.5%	0.24%	0.54%	0.72%
Older coins, bonding curve	1.875%	0.30%	1.08%	0.495%
Older coins, after graduation	0.94%	about 0.15%	about 0.54%	about 0.25%

On the curve. Meteora keeps 20% of the fee. Of the rest, the creator gets 60% and Gabox 40%. Meteora pays 20% of its own part back to the referral account that the trade names. Gabox names its own account there, so this 0.08% is part of Gabox’s 0.72%. On older coins the creator gets 33% and Gabox 67%, and the 0.075% rebate is part of Gabox’s 1.08%.
After graduation. Meteora keeps 20% of the pool fee, with the same rebate. The rest goes to the pool’s liquidity, which is locked for ever: 60% is the creator’s position and 40% is Gabox’s. On older coins, 67% is Gabox’s position and 33% is the creator’s.
All fees are collected in the machine’s quote token.

Fee summary

Action	Pack fee	Trading fee
Open a pack on the curve	0.50%	2% (older coins 1.875%)

A Mega Pack payout does not trade, so it pays no fee.

Before and after graduation

Before graduation, the market is the Meteora DBC bonding curve. After it, the market is a Meteora DAMM v2 pool. The pack prices stay the same. The number of coins a pack buys follows the market price. Read Referrals and earnings for who receives the pack fee and how they claim it.
