tax configuration

Configure tax rates and distribution for your token. Skip this step for a standard (no-tax) token.

Tax Rate

The tax rate is the percentage taken from each trade on the bonding curve. For example, a 3% tax means 3% of each buy and sell goes to the configured destinations.

• Minimum: 0% (no tax — standard token)

• Maximum: 25% (2500 basis points)

• Common values: 3–5% for most projects

Tax Distribution

The tax collected is split between four destinations. The total must equal 100%.

Destination	Description
Marketing	Sent to the marketing wallet (vault recipient)
Deflation	Tokens are burned, reducing supply
Dividends	Distributed to token holders
LP	Added to the liquidity pool

Common Configurations

Type	Marketing	Deflation	Dividends	LP
Marketing only	100%	0%	0%	0%
Mixed	70%	10%	10%	10%
Burn-heavy	30%	50%	10%	10%

If Marketing is 100%, the token uses Tax Token V1 implementation (simpler, lower gas). Any other distribution uses Tax Token V2.

Advanced Settings

Setting	Default	Description
Tax Duration	100 years	How long the tax is active
Anti-Farmer Duration	3 days	Period where anti-farming protections are active
Minimum Share Balance	10,000 tokens	Minimum tokens needed to earn dividends

Token Implementation

Flap uses different smart contract implementations based on your tax config:

• Standard Token — no tax, simplest implementation

• Tax Token V1 — marketing at 100%, gas-efficient

• Tax Token V2 — custom distribution splits, more features

This is handled automatically — you don't need to choose an implementation.
