The Brim guide

A Brim token carries a small tax on every transfer. Once an hour, Brim collects it and sends it where the creator decided at launch: to the token's holders, to the creator, or into a burn. This guide covers what happens at each step, what it costs, and how to check it.

Creating a token

The launch form asks for six things, and the launch is a single transaction you sign in your own wallet.

You set	What it means
Name, ticker, image	How the token shows up in wallets and on explorers. A description and links are optional.
The pair	The coin the token trades against on its curve. SOL suits most tokens; other coins Raydium supports can be picked too. Payouts are made in this coin.
The tax	From 0 to 5% of every transfer, chosen at launch.
The split	Whole percents for holders, for you and for the burn, adding up to 100. Any of the three can be 0.

You can buy some of your own token in the same transaction. Once the launch confirms, Brim picks the token up for hourly payouts on its own; there is nothing else to submit.

The hourly payout

Collect. The token program holds back the tax on every transfer, whether it happens on the curve, in the pool or between wallets. Brim gathers what has built up.
Swap. The holders' and the creator's parts are sold for the pair coin through Jupiter. The burn part needs no swap. If the hour's amount is too small to be worth a swap, it stays put and is added to the next hour's.
Count. Brim takes a snapshot of every wallet's balance and prices it. Wallets holding at least $5 of the token qualify.
Send. The holders' part is shared out by balance, the creator's part goes to the creator's wallet, and the burn part is destroyed.
Record. The hour goes onto the token's page: what was collected, who was paid, how much was burned, and the signature of every transaction.

Holders

Holding is enough. A wallet worth $5 or more of the token at the hourly count is paid its share of the holders' part, in proportion to its balance, straight into the wallet. There is nothing to claim and nothing to stake.

Splitting tokens across several wallets never earns more than holding them in one; the share follows the balance.
A share too small to deliver that hour, such as a few lamports to a wallet that does not exist on-chain yet, is added to the other holders' shares.
The curve, the pool and Brim's own wallets are left out of the count.

The creator

A creator earns in two ways, and neither needs Brim's permission:

The curve fee. 0.50% of every trade on the curve builds up in the creator's own on-chain vault. Only the creator can claim it, at any time, from the app.
Their part of the tax. Whatever share the creator kept for themselves arrives every hour in the pair coin, for as long as the token trades, before and after graduation.

Graduation

When enough has been bought to fill the curve, Raydium moves the token into a Raydium pool automatically. At that moment:

All of the pool's liquidity is locked permanently. It can never be withdrawn, by the creator or by Brim. Brim holds the fee key that comes with the lock, which collects the pool fee but cannot touch the liquidity.
The pool charges 0.80% per swap (see Costs).
The hourly payouts continue unchanged, because the tax is part of the token and applies wherever it trades.

Costs

When	Cost
Each trade on the curve	1.00%: 0.25% to Raydium, 0.25% to Brim, 0.50% to the creator.
Each swap in the pool	0.80%: a 0.25% pool fee, collected by the locked liquidity whose fee key Brim holds (Raydium keeps 16% of it), and 0.55% to Brim.
The token's tax	0 to 5%, set by the creator. All of it goes where the creator split it; Brim takes no share.
Launching	About 0.01 SOL in network fees and rent, plus whatever you buy at launch.

Checking a payout

Every payout is an ordinary Solana transaction. The token's page lists each hour with its amounts and signatures, and any signature opens in a Solana explorer, so anyone can follow the tax from the token to the wallets that received it.

Paid in a coin with its own transfer fee? Some pair coins charge a fee on every transfer themselves. A payout in such a coin arrives smaller by that fee, and the token's page shows the amount sent.

Limits

The hourly cycle is run by Brim's payout service. If it pauses, the tax keeps building up in the token and goes out when the service resumes.
Because the tax arrives as the token, its value in the pair coin depends on the price when it is swapped.
Payouts rely on Solana, Raydium and Jupiter being available.
Anyone can launch a token. Brim does not review, rank or endorse tokens, and a token can lose all of its value.
