# Platform Fees

## Token Creation Fees

To prevent front-running attacks, a nominal fee is required for creating bonding curve-backed tokens or NFT contracts on [Mint.club](https://mint.club/). This fee is implemented as a safeguard against front-runners who might attempt to steal a chosen token symbol, and to minimize abusive attempts. The exact creation fees per chain are as follows:

* Ethereum: 0.002 ETH
* Optimism: 0.0007 ETH
* Arbitrum: 0.0007 ETH
* Base: 0.0007 ETH
* Polygon: 2.5 MATIC
* BSC: 0.005 BNB
* Avalanche: 0.05 AVAX
* Blast: 0.0007 ETH
* Degen L3: 50 DEGEN
* Zora: 0.0007 ETH
* Kaia: 8 KAIA
* Cyber: 0.0007 ETH
* Ham Chain: 0.0007 ETH
* ApeChain: 1 APE
* Shibarium: 5 BONE
* HashKey: 1 HSK
* Unichain: 0.0007 ETH
* Over: 50 OVER

Please note that [gas fees](https://ethereum.org/en/developers/docs/gas/) for launching, minting, burning, or updating information of bonding assets will also need to be covered.

## Protocol Fees

The protocol fee is determined by multiplying the creator royalty by a factor of 0.2. For example, if the creator royalty is set at 0.3%, the protocol fee will be 0.06%, deducted upon claiming. If the creator royalty is set at 0%, the protocol fee also becomes 0%. For more information about Creator Royalties, please refer to the document linked below.
