How VIVA pools price tokens, split fees, tax profitable sells, and support a rising floor.

Read this first

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.

Mechanism	Summary
Buy / sell	Price blends floor price (redemption track) and a premium curve (more supply → higher price).
Trade fee	1.25% on buys and sells (on the amounts shown in-app).
Borrow fee	3% one-time when you open or add borrow — no daily interest.
Sell profit tax	5%–30% on profit only when you sell above your tracked cost.
Fee split	Half to the protocol treasury; half shared between token creator and floor support (creator share set at launch, within app limits).
Profit tax split	Half strengthens the floor; half goes to a tax treasury used for community programs off-chain (e.g. points / platform token).
Anti-abuse	If you buy from the pool in the same block, you cannot sell back in that block.

Fee table (typical)

Action	Rate	What it applies to
Buy	1.25%	Quote you pay in
Sell	1.25%	Gross payout before profit tax
Borrow	3%	New borrow amount (before fee)
Create token	~0.01 BNB	One-time when launching a pool
Sell profit tax	0–30%	Profit only — see Fees

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:

Profit vs your cost	Tax on the profit
Small gain	0%
Moderate gain	5% up to 25% (scales with how much you made)
Very large gain	up to 30% cap

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.
• See Borrowing.

Protections you may notice

Rule	Why it matters
Same-block sell ban	Harder to sandwich yourself right after a buy
Sell liquidity check	Pool will not promise more quote than it can pay
Slippage limits in the app	Bad fills revert instead of executing silently
