Taxes & Dividends

If you hold a token, this section explains how trading taxes generate dividends, what you can receive, and how the allocation rules are locked in.

If you are planning to launch a token, we recommend reading Choose a Vault Template first.

How Trading Taxes Are Distributed

Each buy and sell can incur a trading tax based on the rates set by the Creator.

Rather than going directly to the Creator's wallet, the tax first flows into the token's dedicated Vault, where it is split according to the allocation defined at launch:

  • One portion goes to the Creator
  • The other is distributed to token holders based on their share of the circulating supply, forming Holder Dividends

The Creator can define the allocation between the two, from 0% to 100%.

With a Tax Distribution Vault, buy and sell tax default to 1% with a 1% minimum per side and can be raised. The holder share still pays Holder Dividends; the Creator share is split across 1–10 recipient addresses locked at launch. Those percentages divide the Creator share, not the whole tax.

With a Directed Vault, the whole trading tax goes to one address locked at launch. There is no Holder Dividend: quote-token tax collected on the curve is claimed manually by that address, and after graduation MEME tax is paid to it directly, checked once a day against the platform threshold, without conversion.

Once set at launch, the allocation is locked and cannot be changed by anyone, including the Creator or IGNIX.

Note

Taxes are collected from the very first buy.

There is no need to wait for graduation — trading taxes are collected during the Bonding Curve stage as well. Taxes accumulate in the Vault and are then distributed to holders in periodic batches by the system; stock Vaults distribute them as wrapped stocks.

Holder Dividends come from the trading tax a token actually generates. They are not fixed interest, and neither IGNIX nor the Creator promises any fixed return.

What Enabling Trading Tax Changes

Once enabled, the token becomes a Fee-on-Transfer Token and graduates to Uniswap V2.

  • V2 LP fees are 0.125% per side instead of 0.5% per side.
  • During the protection period, official Uniswap V2/V3 pools are taxed. Afterward, only the graduated V2 pair is taxed; third-party factories are not.
  • Stock Vault is supported, but Buyback Escrow is available only with System Vault. Buyback purchases also pay the buy tax.
  • External DEX trades may require wider slippage, and exact-out swaps are unavailable.
  • After graduation, project-token taxes must be converted before Creator revenue or Holder Dividends arrive, so settlement can be delayed.
  • The V2 locker has a burn channel. LP principal protection relies on onchain balance postconditions rather than structural impossibility.
  • Tax-free liquidity changes are available only through the official helper on the token page. Adding or removing liquidity through the Uniswap UI, an aggregator, or a bot is treated as a buy or sell and taxed.
  • The helper has no holding period. Liquidity can be withdrawn tax-free immediately after the pool absorbs a buy, which can have the economic effect of a tax-free sale while also earning LP fees. IGNIX accepts this trade-off so market makers can quote the pool.
  • IGNIX controls one global switch for the helper. If it is disabled, liquidity providers retain their LP and can withdraw elsewhere, but the project-token side is taxed on withdrawal.

When Dividends Start Accruing

Once trading tax is enabled, the token collects tax from its first eligible trade — Holder Dividends can accrue without waiting for graduation. After the token graduates to Uniswap, eligible trading taxes continue to be split according to the allocation fixed at creation.

Please note:

  • With no actual trading, no new trading-tax dividends are generated;
  • Higher trading volume can produce more trading tax;
  • Actual Holder Dividends also depend on the tax rates and the Holder allocation;
  • After graduation, some trading taxes must be converted first, so settlement can be delayed.

When Dividends Become Claimable

Dividends do not arrive in full immediately after a trade, and they are not distributed at a fixed time each day. Once trading tax enters the Vault, the system sends the Holder portion into the dividend contract in batches. Each batch then streams linearly over the following 24 hours.

  • Claimable dividends increase per second;
  • After new trading tax is generated, your claimable balance may not show the full amount right away;
  • As the streaming period progresses, the claimable amount keeps increasing;
  • Multiple batches can be streaming at the same time.
Caution

Dividends are streamed linearly over 24 hours rather than distributed immediately.

This mechanism reduces the impact of short-term holdings on dividend distribution. If dividends were distributed instantly, a user could temporarily acquire a large position immediately before a distribution, collect the dividends, and exit shortly afterward — diluting the share of longer-term holders. With 24-hour linear streaming, dividends accrue progressively based on actual holding time, reducing the impact of this type of short-term in-and-out behavior on other holders.

How to Claim Dividends

Dividends worth more than $1 are distributed to your wallet automatically, with no action required. Amounts at or below that threshold must be claimed manually.

To claim manually:

  1. Go to Dashboard → Holdings;
  2. Find the token showing claimable dividends;
  3. Expand the dividend details;
  4. Click Claim;
  5. Confirm the transaction in your wallet;
  6. Wait for onchain confirmation.

Claiming requires an onchain transaction. Keep a small amount of OKB in your wallet to pay X Layer network gas.

Once claimed, the corresponding transaction is visible in your wallet history or on an X Layer block explorer.

How Dividends Are Calculated

Dividends are calculated strictly based on each holder's share of eligible circulating supply, with no allowlists, claim thresholds, or manual allocation.

Holder Dividends are determined mainly by:

  1. The token's actual trading volume;
  2. The buy and sell tax rates set for the token;
  3. The share of trading tax allocated to holders;
  4. The holder's real-time share of eligible circulating supply;
  5. How long the holder actually holds during the streaming period.

Simplified:

Holder dividend pool = actual trading tax × Holder allocation

Individual dividend = Holder dividend pool × individual share of eligible supply

Example

Over a given period:

  • The token generates 1,000 OKB in trading volume;
  • The tax rate is 5%;
  • 50 OKB of trading tax is collected;
  • 60% of it is allocated to holders;
  • The Holder dividend pool receives 30 OKB.

A holder who averages 2% of eligible circulating supply across the whole streaming period would expect roughly 0.6 OKB.

The following addresses are excluded from dividend calculations and therefore do not dilute other holders:

  • The token contract itself
  • The Bonding Curve contract
  • The primary Uniswap V2 pool
  • Burn addresses

Dividends are not based on a single snapshot taken at one fixed moment; they follow your real-time eligible balance throughout the streaming period. As a result:

  • Increasing your position can raise your share of subsequent dividends;
  • Reducing your position can lower it;
  • Moving tokens to another wallet shifts subsequent dividends to that wallet's onchain balance.
Caution

Liquidity pools created on external exchanges may accrue dividends like regular holders. In practice, these dividends may remain unclaimed and continue to accumulate in the dividend contract.

IGNIX does not provide a mechanism to recover or redistribute these assets, avoiding the introduction of additional discretionary control over funds.

What Assets Are Paid as Dividends?

The assets holders receive depend on the Vault Template selected when the token is launched.

System Vault — Holders receive the token's quote token, such as OKB or USD₮0.

Tokenized Stock Vault — The holder portion of the trading tax is used to buy the tokenized stock assets the Creator selected in advance, and is distributed as the corresponding wrapped asset, such as wTSLAx.

Tax Distribution Vault — Holders receive the quote token. The Creator share is split across the recipient list fixed at launch.

Directed Vault — No Holder Dividend. All trading tax goes to the single recipient address fixed at launch: quote-token tax from the curve is claimed manually, and MEME tax after graduation is paid directly without conversion.

For the actual dividend asset and Vault type, refer to the information shown on the token detail page.

How the Tokenized Stock Vault Converts Trading Taxes

The Tokenized Stock Vault does not purchase tokenized stocks immediately after each trading tax is collected.

Instead, trading taxes first accumulate in the Vault. An executor then periodically uses the OKX Aggregator to purchase the tokenized stocks selected by the Creator. The minimum interval between conversions is 1 hour, which is not a commitment to convert once every hour.

Each conversion includes a platform-signed minimum output amount. If the trade cannot meet this requirement, the entire transaction reverts rather than executing outside the predefined range.

How to View Your Dividends

  1. Open IGNIX;
  2. Connect the wallet holding the token;
  3. Make sure the wallet is switched to X Layer;
  4. Click the wallet entry in the top-right corner to open the Dashboard;
  5. Open Holdings;
  6. Find the relevant token position;
  7. Expand it to see the currently claimable Holder Dividends.

You can also view any wallet's public data at /me?address=<wallet address>.

Reading the Dividend Figures on the Page

Claimable Dividends — The amount already streamed and claimable by this wallet right now.

Cumulative Dividends — The total dividends that have historically entered distribution for this token. This reflects the token project as a whole, not what a single holder can claim now.

Vault Balance — Assets still sitting in the Vault awaiting processing, conversion, or entry into the dividend flow. A non-zero Vault Balance with no increase in Claimable Dividends is not necessarily a fault — those assets may still be awaiting batch processing, conversion, or the 24-hour stream.

Why You May Not See Dividends Right After Buying

Possible reasons:

  • The token has not yet generated enough actual trading tax;
  • The trading tax is still in the Vault awaiting batch processing;
  • The dividend batch has just entered the contract and is streaming over 24 hours;
  • After graduation, the assets are still awaiting conversion;
  • The claimable amount is small and affected by display precision;
  • The wallet is connected incorrectly, or is not switched to X Layer;
  • The token does not have Holder Dividends enabled;
  • The token's Holder allocation is set to 0%.

Check the buy/sell tax rates, Holder allocation, Vault type, and cumulative dividends on the token detail page, then refresh the Dashboard later.

How to Verify the Data Yourself

IGNIX distinguishes between onchain events that have already occurred and current configuration or state data.

On the token detail page, Cumulative Dividends are displayed in green.

On IGNIX, green means:

The event has already occurred onchain and can be publicly verified.

Cumulative Dividends are calculated from historical distribution events emitted by the dividend contract. Each distribution corresponds to an onchain transaction that can be independently verified through a block explorer.

Other information on the same card — such as allocation ratios, current Vault holdings, and the last conversion time — is not displayed in green because it represents configuration or current state rather than historical events.

You can look up a wallet, Vault, or dividend contract on an X Layer block explorer and inspect the Streaming and Claimed events the dividend contract emits:

  • Streaming means a new dividend batch has entered linear release;
  • Claimed means a wallet has claimed its dividends.

Onchain state is the final authority on dividend amounts and claim results. For more details, see How to Verify These Numbers.

Risk Disclosure

Caution

Holder Dividends come from the trading tax a token actually generates. They are not fixed interest, a guaranteed return, or principal protection.

Actual dividend amounts can be affected by: market trading volume, buy and sell tax rates, the Holder allocation, your position size and holding time, other holders' position changes, Vault batch processing and conversion progress, price movements in the token and the dividend asset, and network conditions and onchain execution.
