Fees & the Burn Engine
What MoonVault charges, and where every unit of it goes.
| Event | Fee | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| Vault seals at target | 20% of realised gain as standard, down to 15% on the closer's ladder ($100+ vaults sealed at target, at most one step a day) | Fee router: dividends, referral pool, burn / staker / treasury lanes |
| Keeper tip on a seal | 0.1% of realised gain, from the owner's share | Whoever sealed the vault |
| Vault terminated early | 30% → 5% of the position (in the vault's asset) by progress, plus 20% of any gain | Sold for USDC and routed through the fee router like a seal fee |
| Position sale | 1.5% of the position's value, paid by the seller | Fee router lanes only: burn / stakers / treasury |
| Identity mint or upgrade | The tier price; 30% off when paid in MOONX | Introducer commission and rank-differential hold-back; stablecoin remainder to treasury. Paid in MOONX, 65% burns at mint |
| Single-stake early exit | 20% of principal | Burned |
The fee split, from the contract
The fee router splits every vault fee three ways: 35% to MV-Share dividends, 40% to the referral pool and 25% to the lanes. The lanes split 30% burn, 40% stakers and 30% treasury, and the burn and staker legs buy MOONX on PulseChain first. Against a realised gain at the standard 20% fee, that is 7% dividends ($4.90 of every $100 of profit to MV-Share holders, $2.10 to contribution rewards), 8% referral, 1.5% burned, 2% to stakers and 1.5% to treasury. While no MV-Shares exist, the dividend leg joins the lanes, so the burn is larger.
MoonVault is live on PulseChain today, so every burn happens there. There is no discretionary buyback target on top of the paths in the table.
Every burn is a transfer to the dead address on PulseChain. The Transparency page shows the burn balance and every vault seal with its transaction, and the fee router's counters are readable on scan.pulsechain.com.
