This page explains how money moves in VIVA pools for traders and creators. Pools may use BNB or USDT (or another supported quote) as the settlement asset. Always confirm amounts on the Trade / Create screen before you sign — live rules can change with deployments.

In 30 seconds

Each meme token has its own pool. You trade and borrow against that pool, not a public order book of strangers.

Fee table (typical)

Where trade and borrow fees go

For every 1.25% trade fee or 3% borrow fee:
  1. 50% → protocol treasury.
  2. 50% → split between:
    • Token creator — you choose up to 15% of the total fee at launch; claimable in the app when available.
    • Floor support — at least 35% of the total fee; used to raise the floor over time.
Example: A trade generates 12.5 USDT in fees, and you set 10% of total fees to the creator → treasury 6.25, creator 1.25, floor 5.00 USDT. Borrow fees follow the same split.

Sell profit tax

When you sell above your average cost in the pool, tax applies only to the gain: Half of that tax supports the floor; half goes to the tax treasury for off-chain community programs.

Floor vs trading price

Two ideas work together:
  1. Floor — a protocol-backed minimum redemption track that is designed to rise as fees and tax flow in, not fall from normal trading.
  2. Trading curve — the market price you see on charts; it moves as supply grows and is meant to stay at or above the floor under normal rules.
Memory aid: floor = backing and borrow reference; curve = “more buyers → higher next price.” Details: Floor price and curve.

Borrowing (economic view)

  • Collateral is valued at the floor, not a CEX ticker.
  • 3% opening fee on new borrow; no protocol interest clock.
