# Fee Structure

At Glow, transparency is our priority. When you launch or trade tokens on our platform, the fees are clearly divided into three categories: **Custom Token Taxes**, **Glow Platform Fees**, and **Meteora Protocol Fees**.

Here is a breakdown of how they work and where the funds go.

**1. Custom Token Taxes** 

This is the core feature of Glow. The token creator has the freedom to define a specific **Tax** percentage during token creation.

* **What is this for?** This tax is entirely designed to power the token's unique **Tokenomics**.
* **Where does it go?** The tax revenue is automatically routed on-chain to the wallet(s) designated by the creator. It is typically used for project marketing, team funding, community rewards, or buying back tokens. Glow does not take a cut from the custom token taxes.

**2. Glow Platform Fees** 

Glow charges a flat **0.6% platform fee** on all trades. This fee applies to the token's entire lifecycle—whether it is trading on the **Internal Market (Bonding Curve)** or has graduated to the **Meteora DEX**.

* **What is this for?** This revenue is reinvested back into the Glow ecosystem.
* **Where does it go?** It funds continuous platform development, smart contract security audits, and marketing campaigns to bring more traders and volume to the platform

**3. Meteora Protocol Fees  (Powered by Top-Tier Infra)**

To ensure maximum security and seamless graduation, Glow’s internal bonding curve is built directly on **Meteora's infrastructure**. Therefore, Meteora’s standard protocol fee applies.

* **What is this for?** This is Meteora’s standard protocol fee for providing enterprise-grade AMM infrastructure.
* **Where does it go?** This fee is collected exclusively by the Meteora protocol

 **Summary of Your Trading Journey:**

Because our internal and external markets are both powered by Meteora, the fee structure remains consistent and transparent from start to finish:

* **Phase 1: On the Bonding Curve (Internal Market)**\
  Token Tax + 0.6% Glow Fee + Meteora Protocol Fee
* **Phase 2: After Graduation (Meteora DEX)**\
  Token Tax + 0.6% Glow Fee + Meteora Protocol Fee
