How to claim your creator fees on Meteora

A Meteora bonding curve or pool doesn't send your share of its trading fees to you by itself. The fees wait in the curve or pool until the wallet entitled to them claims them, and they never expire.

Where your fees wait

On a bonding curve, the creator's share waits in the curve until the creator wallet claims it.
After graduation, your share comes through the liquidity position you hold in the Meteora pool. A locked position still earns, and its owner claims the fees.
In a plain pool, the fees go to whoever holds the liquidity position.
With a fee split, the fees collect in Meteora's fee-sharing vault, and each wallet in the split claims its own share.

How to claim

Make sure the wallet that receives the fees holds about 0.01 SOL. A claim is a transaction that wallet signs and pays for, and the first claim also opens a token account, about 0.002 SOL of rent.
Open Manage and sign in with that wallet.
Find the token under Bonding curves you created or Pool positions you hold, and press Claim fees. The fees arrive in the same wallet.
To have them sent somewhere else, use Claim to another wallet. The fee wallet still signs.
With a split, any wallet in it presses Collect, which moves the pools' fees into the vault; each wallet then presses Claim my share.

Launched somewhere else?

Manage looks your wallet up on chain. It lists every Meteora bonding curve your wallet created and every Meteora pool position it holds, including ones made on other launchpads, and claims them the same way.

Moving the fees on

Hand the creator role over: another wallet takes the curve's creator role, with its fees and everything the role receives at graduation.
Send a pool position to another wallet, which then earns and claims its fees.

Questions

Do unclaimed fees expire?

No, and no other wallet can take them. They stay where they are until you claim them.

Why does Claim fees fail?

Usually the wallet has no SOL to pay for the transaction. Send it about 0.01 SOL and try again.

What do I earn after graduation?

On a T-minus launch your fee wallet holds 90% of the pool's liquidity in a position, locked by default, and claims that position's fees under Pool positions you hold.
