Three Kinds of Token Tax on Robinhood Chain, Compared
- NET: 5% transfer tax; the team's cut decays 4% → 0% over 30 days, dividends come via sNET rebasing
- STANDARD: fees split 70% reserve / 15% liquidity / 15% team; holders gain only through protocol expansion
- BigPump: creator tax of 1/3/5/10% split four ways, with dividends paid in ETH pro rata, no staking
Today's Robinhood Chain hot list happens to contain three completely different approaches to taxing a token. Putting them side by side is the fastest way to understand what happens to your money every time you trade a taxed token: how much is taken, where it goes, and whether any of it comes back.

Side by side
| $NET (NetNet) | $STANDARD (The Standard Reserve) | Tokens launched on BigPump | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rate | 5% fee-on-transfer, buys and sells | Protocol fees (rate not published) | Creator tax: 1% / 3% / 5% / 10%, creator's choice |
| When it applies | Mapped AMM pairs; wallet-to-wallet transfers exempt | Fees generated by protocol operations | Only on DEX trades after graduation; during the curve there is only a 1% pool fee |
| Where it goes | Management + treasury; management's share decays from 4% to 0% over 30 days, all to treasury (deposited to Morpho) | 70% reserve / 15% liquidity / 15% team | Four-way split: treasury / burn / dividends / liquidity, summing to 100%, set by the creator |
| How holders get paid | Stake into sNET, rebasing every 8h epoch; zero dividend when price ≤ NAV | No direct payout — value accrues through reserves and expansion | ETH paid pro rata by holdings, no staking, above a minimum-holding threshold |
| Platform take | — | — | 5% of pool ETH once at graduation; 1% per DEX trade afterwards |
1. $NET: a team cut with an expiry date
NetNet's docs (docs.netnet.capital) lay out the 5% transfer tax as a 30-day decay table: day 0 is 4.00% management / 1.00% treasury, day 15 is 2.00% / 3.00%, and day 30 onward is 0.00% / 5.00%. The formula is management = 400 bps × (1 − pTEAM vesting fraction), treasury takes the rest, total always 500 bps.
What deserves credit: the team's cut has a defined end, written into the contract. The usual pattern is a team wallet that takes x% forever. This one is a countdown.
What to watch: 5% is bidirectional, so a round trip costs 10% before slippage — short-term trading is effectively closed off. Getting dividends requires staking into sNET, and sNET's issuance formula has a hard switch: when market price ÷ NAV is at or below 1.0, the rate is zero. Below backing, payouts stop. Full breakdown in what is $NET.

2. $STANDARD: the tax goes to the protocol, not to you
The Standard Reserve splits fees 70% to reserves / 15% to liquidity / 15% to the team (KuCoin flash, 2026-09-15 04:05 UTC). Holders receive no transfer at all; your return comes entirely from "reserves thicken → intrinsic backing rises → price."
This is the classic OHM structure. The upside: money does not leave, and protocol-owned liquidity cannot be yanked by an LP overnight — set against today's new launches whose pools were drained, that is a genuine advantage. The downside: your return depends entirely on the premium. Once price approaches the reserve value, the flywheel spins the other way.

3. BigPump: the tax comes back as ETH
Our own spec, stated with no decoration.
Tokens launched on BigPump are ERC-20 (6 decimals) bound to an ERC-1155 NFT (1 NFT = 1,000,000 tokens). The creator tax has four tiers — 1%, 3%, 5%, 10% — chosen at launch, along with the four-way split across treasury / burn / dividends / liquidity, which must total 100%.
Three qualifiers that matter:
- Tax and dividends only apply to DEX trades after graduation. During the bonding curve there is no creator tax, only a 1% pool fee (95% platform / 5% creator).
- Graduation happens at 4 ETH of accumulated real ETH (the 1.5 ETH virtual reserve only sets the starting price). A Uniswap V2 pool is created and the LP is sent to the burn address — it cannot be withdrawn.
- The platform's share: 5% of the pool's ETH once at graduation (95/5), then 1% per DEX trade afterwards, stacked on top of the creator tax. Tax accrues in tokens and is swapped to ETH automatically on a sell once it crosses a threshold, paid to the platform fee address.
The dividend leg: paid in ETH, pro rata by holdings, above a minimum-holding threshold. Pair, router, burn and protocol contracts are excluded. No staking, no NAV to watch, no waiting for a premium — trades generate tax, tax is distributed by weight.
The cost, stated plainly: no trading means no dividends. This model eats volume, not reserves. Had those ten zero-volume launches used this structure, holders would have received nothing.
Which one do you want?
- Cash flow with no extra steps → direct-dividend designs (BigPump's dividend leg). The payment is ETH and it lands in your wallet.
- A bet that the protocol grows → reserve designs (STANDARD). No cash flow; you are betting on reserves and premium.
- Something in between → rebasing designs (NET). There is yield, but you must stake, and it switches off below NAV.
Whichever you pick, do this arithmetic first: what is my total round-trip cost? A 5% bidirectional tax is 10%; add slippage and pool fees and a round trip can cost 12–15%. That number decides how long you have to hold for the position to make any sense.
To launch a token with tax and dividends of your own, use BigPump one-click create — no code, no initial liquidity required, with an optional bbb-suffix vanity address for 0.001 ETH. Full mechanics at book.bigpump.ai.
FAQ
Do BigPump tokens pay creator tax during the bonding curve?
No. Creator tax and holder dividends only apply to DEX trades after graduation. On the curve there is a 1% pool fee, 95% to the platform and 5% to the creator.
What currency are BigPump dividends paid in, and do I need to stake?
ETH, distributed pro rata by holdings, with no staking required — but you must be above the minimum-holding threshold. Pair, router, burn and protocol contracts do not receive dividends.
What is graduation, and can the LP be pulled?
Once the bonding curve accumulates 4 ETH of real ETH, the token graduates automatically into a Uniswap V2 pool and the LP tokens are sent to the burn address — meaning nobody can withdraw that liquidity.
Are 5% transfer-tax tokens suitable for short-term trading?
Essentially not. 5% each way means a round trip starts 10% down, and slippage and pool fees add to that. These designs exist specifically to force longer holding periods.
