Create free. Activate when it adds up.
Publish and use your platform free. Activate earnings to receive your plan's share of future builder fees, less configured referral payouts. Choose a plan when your expected activity supports the cost.
Free to launch. Put a real DEX in front of traders and see if they come, before you commit to anything.
floatout keeps 100% of the builder fee while your DEX is on Starter
- Perps, predictions, theming, market context, comments, leaderboards, and sharing tools.
For the point where volume is real enough that the builder fee matters. One payment gives you your own contract, and every fee after that accrues to it.
floatout takes 15% of the gross builder fee
- Everything in Starter, plus:
- Earnings activation, referral commissions, and trader kickbacks
For DEXs where the platform share is the biggest line item. The lowest self-serve rate, the full media kit, and support that answers first.
floatout takes 10% of the gross builder fee
- Everything in Launch, plus:
For teams that need infrastructure of their own, a negotiated rate, and the low-latency stack, on an annual contract.
floatout takes 10% of the gross builder fee
- Everything in Pro, plus:
Pro costs $5,000 more than Launch. Its lower platform share recovers that difference after $100,000 in cumulative gross builder fees, assuming the same trading activity and referral settings. Choose it when those economics or its support and plan features justify the upgrade.
Open a feature for details. Prices and platform shares come from the current plan catalog. Referral payouts and your operating costs reduce the share you retain.
The money path
Where the builder fee goes
One number decides everything on this page: the share of the gross builder fee your tier hands us. Here is the whole path it travels.
- 01
You set the builder fee
After activation, choose a builder fee per product, in addition to applicable exchange fees. It applies to eligible trades through your site. Prediction-market builder fees apply to eligible sell orders, not every trade or settlement.
- 02
We take a share of the gross
Your plan sets the platform share of gross builder fees. Self-serve plans have a one-time activation price and no subscription. Enterprise has an annual contract.
- 03
Referral payouts come out of your side
Configured affiliate commissions and trader kickbacks reduce what you retain. The platform share stays the same. The calculator below shows the fee base explicitly.
- 04
Claim your allocated earnings
Activation deploys a BuilderLedger for your DEX. Allocations are computed off-chain and published by an operator. Recipients claim with proofs against the published root. This payout system has publisher trust assumptions and is separate from traders' Hyperliquid balances.
What the free tier costs you: while your DEX is on Starter, 100% of the gross builder fee routes to floatout and you earn nothing. That is the trade: a real product in front of real traders for nothing, until the fees are big enough that keeping them is worth a setup fee.
Break-even
When is it worth paying?
Use eligible trading volume and realistic costs to compare plans. Payback is an estimate under your assumptions, not a promise of revenue.
When does activation make sense?
Estimate earnings from your own activity assumptions. Free sites earn no owner fees before activation.
Use only volume that generates your builder fee. Prediction volume here means eligible sell-order volume, not headline market volume. Settlement fees are excluded. 1 bp = 0.01%.
Average referral allocation includes trades without referrals. Kickbacks come out of that allocation, not an additional charge to you.

Illustrative estimate, not a revenue forecast. Assumes constant eligible activity, rates and referral mix. Payback uses net earnings after the costs you enter. Taxes and unentered expenses are excluded. Actual earnings depend on collected builder fees. Free-period fees are not a claimable balance or activation credit.
FAQ
Questions about the bill
No. Naming it, claiming it and going live are free, and they stay free. A setup fee only comes up when you decide to activate earnings and start keeping the builder fees yourself.
Launch first, pay later.
Preview your branding, then connect your wallet to publish. Before activation, Floatout receives builder fees. They are not a claimable balance or activation credit.
