Argus World Arc

The tax ArgusPad's per-launch hook charges on every buy and sell, the trading fee each launch's pool charges (on Portals 3-7 the 1% pool fee earned by the permanently locked launch position; on Portal 8 a 1% base fee the hook charges in the quote asset in its place), and the extra tax charged on buys in a launch's first seconds. Counted in the asset the fee is charged in, at the moment it is charged, so the protocol's later sale of the launched tokens it was paid is not counted a second time. Fees charged in the launched token itself (Portals 3-7 only; Portal 8 takes every fee in the quote asset) are reported in that token's own units and are priced only if DefiLlama has a price for it; it has none for these tokens today, because a launched token's only market is the pool ArgusPad seeded, and pricing it there overstates by about 40% against what ArgusPad's own sales of them actually realise.

The share of fees reaching the ArgusPad treasury at the rate each launch fixes at creation - 10% of every fee on Portals 3-7 and 30% on Portal 8 - plus the whole of the early-buy snipe tax, which is paid straight to the treasury.

The rest of the fees, which leave the protocol divided at the weights each launch fixed at creation: the token creator's share, the dividends paid to holders of that launched token, the share added back into the launch's permanently locked liquidity, the share used to buy and burn the launched token, and on Portal 8 the share used to buy the launched token and lock it permanently.
