Creator.fun is designed for instant trading with no slippage and no MEV (Miner Extractable Value attacks). You get the quoted price — there are no hidden reorderings or front-running bots. The 1% platform fee is the only deduction applied to your trade.
The trade panel
When you open any token’s details page (/details/:address), the trade panel appears in the right sidebar. It contains:
- A Buy / Sell toggle to switch between buying and selling.
- An amount input where you enter how much SOL (when buying) or how many tokens (when selling) you want to trade.
- Preset amount buttons so you can fill in a common amount in one click.
- An estimated output that updates in real time as you type.
- A Quick Buy / Quick Sell button that executes the trade immediately when clicked.
Creator.fun charges a 1% platform fee on every trade. The estimated output shown in the panel already reflects this deduction — what you see is what you receive.
How to buy
- Buy
- Sell
Open the token details page
Find a creator coin you want to buy — from the dashboard, search, or a shared link — and open its details page.
Make sure Buy is selected
The toggle at the top of the trade panel defaults to Buy (highlighted in green). If it shows Sell, click Buy to switch.
Enter the amount of SOL
Type the amount of SOL you want to spend into the amount field. Your current SOL balance is shown above the input so you know exactly how much you have available.You can also use the preset buttons to fill in a fixed amount instantly:
| Button | Amount |
|---|---|
| Reset | Clears the field back to 0 |
| 0.1 SOL | Sets the amount to 0.1 SOL |
| 0.5 SOL | Sets the amount to 0.5 SOL |
| 1 SOL | Sets the amount to 1 SOL |
| Max | Sets the amount to your full available SOL balance |
Review the estimated output
Once you have entered an amount, the panel shows an estimate of how many creator coins you will receive. This updates in real time as you type and already accounts for the 1% platform fee.
Click Quick Buy
When you are happy with the amount and the estimated output, click the Quick Buy button. The trade executes immediately on-chain — there is no confirmation dialog.
Error states
The panel catches problems before you can submit a trade. Errors appear inline below the execute button.Insufficient balance
If you enter more SOL than your wallet holds (when buying) or more tokens than your holdings (when selling), the trade button is blocked and an error message appears. Reduce the amount or top up your wallet before trying again.Below minimum buy amount
Amount is zero
If the amount field is 0 or empty, the button is disabled and the panel shows “Value should be above zero.”Platform fee
Every trade on Creator.fun includes a 1% platform fee. This is automatically deducted from the output amount — you never need to calculate it yourself. The estimated amount shown in the trade panel is always the amount you will receive after the fee.
Quick Buy and Quick Sell
The execute button in the trade panel is labelled Quick Buy or Quick Sell depending on the selected mode. Clicking it submits your transaction to the Solana blockchain immediately — there is no “are you sure?” confirmation step. Double-check your amount before clicking. See Quick Buy for details on the dashboard-level Quick Buy feature that lets you buy tokens from the token card without opening the details page.Slippage and limit orders
Creator.fun uses an internal automated market maker (AMM) that executes trades at a fixed, quoted price with no slippage. Because of this architecture:- No slippage setting is needed or available — the price you see in the estimate is the price you get.
- No limit orders — all trades are market orders executed immediately at the current price.
- No MEV — trades are protected from front-running and sandwich attacks by the platform’s trade routing.
