n=4. Four launches is not a sample you can draw a rate from, and nothing below should be read as one. It is a record of what happened.
| launch | venue | fees | net |
|---|---|---|---|
| $PENDING | bags | $0.15 | −$12.63 |
| $GREYEDOUT | bags | $171.36 | +$130.97 |

The creator fee is 1% of volume, paid regardless of whether the coin works — verified twice against recorded volume to within four cents. At a launch cost of about $12.39, a single $171 hit pays for 14 launches. That is arithmetic, not a measured hit rate.
The fees returned $0.15, $171.36, $0.27, $1.26. The coin positions returned −0.0002 ETH, −0.0113 ETH, 0 SOL, with 1 unrecorded. Every dollar of profit here came from fees, none from a chart, and the dev buys made to prop a chart up lost money every time.
The table and the two figure lists above are regenerated from the launch record on every build. The cost-per-launch and break-even arithmetic in the paragraph above them is stated as of 6 September 2026 and is not derived — the build has no price feed, so a dollar figure cannot be recomputed offline.
