Solana Launchpad Creator Fees API: Meteora DBC and Raydium LaunchLab

Most Solana launchpads other than Pump.fun run on one of two shared programs. Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC), dbcij3LWUppWqq96dh6gJWwBifmcGfLSB5D4DuSMaqN, powers launchpads such as Bags, Jupiter Studio and Believe. Raydium LaunchLab, LanMV9sAd7wArD4vJFi2qDdfnVhFxYSUg6eADduJ3uj, powers LetsBonk. On both, every trade on the bonding curve pays fees that are split between the coin's creator and the launchpad (the "partner" on DBC, the "platform" on LaunchLab), and each side claims its share later. This page reads those claims from the chain: what creators claimed, what launchpads claimed, who earned the most, and when a coin's creator changed.

For Pump.fun's own creator fees, see the Pump.fun Creator Rewards API. For trades and launches on these launchpads, see Meteora DBC, Bags, Jupiter Studio, Believe, Raydium LaunchLab and LetsBonk.

All queries run in the Bitquery IDE on the real-time dataset, which keeps about 8 hours of Solana instructions. To stream one, change query to subscription and remove limit and orderBy.

What	Program	Instruction	Event and fields

Event arguments carry raw amounts in each token's smallest unit: token_base_amount is in the launched coin, token_quote_amount in the quote token (SOL has 9 decimals). Balance updates carry decimal amounts and USD.

Pitfalls

• About 8 hours of history. Instructions and InstructionBalanceUpdates on Solana are real-time only. For lifetime earnings, store a subscription or read the Solana Kafka streams.
• Two DBC instruction versions. Claims arrive as claim_creator_trading_fee and claim_creator_trading_fee2, and claim_trading_fee and claim_trading_fee2. Query both.
• Base and quote side. DBC fees can be paid in the launched coin (token_base_amount) as well as in the quote token. Add both when you total a claim.
• The creator can change. After transfer_pool_creator the new wallet claims the fees, so a creator's history may sit under two wallets.
