How the money works on
machine.fun:
Trading fees are split between the creator and
machine.fun.
Creator fees are claimable as they come in and are completely separate from the founder's token position.
Part of the platform's share is used to buy
$CODEC and
$PEAQ on the open market.
Founders can make an initial buy at launch, on the same curve, capped so they can acquire a meaningful share of the supply without taking all of it. Everything is transparent, with all connected wallets publicly linked.
These mechanics are designed to create a flywheel: trading → buybacks → onboarding → more machines → more activity.
Ignition is optional and permanent: founders lock supply into sell orders above the launch price, with proceeds released under a daily limit.
For selected teams, The Foundry adds supplier vetting, manufacturing planning, and factory access in Shenzhen and Dongguan.
