The vault

Pons doesn't pay creator fees straight to a wallet. It credits them inside a fee escrow contract and emits a Credited(recipient, payer, amount) event for each one. Every coin launched here names the same recipient, so it all pools in one place — but each event also carries the payer, which is that coin's own bonding curve.

That is what makes the per-creator figures on this site exact rather than estimated. We read the events, group them by payer, and map each curve back to the coin and the channel it was launched for. No percentage of a pooled total is ever guessed at.

Both fees arrive the same way

A coin here earns from two places — Pons' own curve fee and the 2% creator tax — but they end up in the same place. While a coin is on its curve the tax accrues on the curve itself, and the curve's sweepFees moves it into the same escrow, where it is credited with the same event. The figures on this site already include both; there is no second pot to read.

After a coin graduates

Once a coin leaves its bonding curve, its fees are paid by Pons' shared Uniswap hook rather than by its own curve, so the payer alone no longer identifies it. Those credits are attributed by looking at which of our coins the same transaction touched.

A wallet shared with an older project

This wallet already receives fees from a coin launched before BitPad existed. That money is not a creator payout and is never counted as one: the indexer only credits payers it can match to a coin launched here, and everything else is ignored. It does mean the wallet's raw balance is larger than the figures on this site, which is why no page quotes that balance as though it were ours.
