What are hooks?

Routing policies for creator fees, attached at launch.

A hook is a routing policy: a list of destinations and the share of creator fees each one receives. Pook ships six preset hooks — one per destination — plus a custom hook that lets you compose any split.

  • Buyback — fees buy the token off the market and burn it.
  • Liquidity — fees are added to the pool as permanent liquidity.
  • Holders — fees are paid to holders pro-rata.
  • Jackpot — fees fill a prize pool paid out by draw.
  • Treasury — fees accumulate in a declared treasury address.
  • Referrals — fees pay the wallets that referred buyers.
  • Custom — any split across the six destinations.

Hooks are part of the token

The hook is chosen in the launch flow and passed to the launchpad in the same transaction that creates the token. It is stored in the token's fee configuration and can't be quietly swapped afterwards. That is what makes the fee logic something a trader can rely on rather than something a creator can describe.

Preset hooks route 100% of the fee to their destination (Referrals uses an 80/20 split with a treasury fallback). If you want a different split, choose Custom — the launch flow will offer to start from the preset you had selected.
