The launchpad fee
The trading fee and the creator's share are set by the launchpad, Ascend, not by Yieldium. Only the creator share reaches the gauge; the rest stays with the launchpad. There is no team share.
The token pays none
$YIELD has no transfer fee. A HyperCore listing needs the token to pass the mirror bridge, which requires a plain ERC-20.
