How it works
- 1
Launch
Anyone launches a coin for a KOL on pump.fun through us. Its creator fees are locked to the coin's own two fee wallets in the launch transaction: the KOL's share, and the community's.
- 2
Trade
People trade it on the pump.fun curve. Every trade pays a creator fee, exactly like any pump.fun coin.
- 3
Claim
Every 10 minutes the engine claims each coin's fees and records exactly how much that coin made.
- 4
Split
That amount is split by role, then paid out in SOL, straight to wallets. The burn share buys and burns the house coin.
The split
Whoever launches a coin chooses how its creator fees are split between the KOL, the bio squad, clippers and themselves. The KOL always gets at least 45%, and 15% is fixed for the burn and ops. The split is saved at launch and can't be changed after. The default:
KOL
The KOL the coin is for, picked by X account or by wallet. Picked by wallet, it's sent straight there. Picked by X, it builds up in the coin's KOL wallet and is theirs the moment they log in with that X.
Bio squad
Everyone with the ticker or contract address in their X bio, weighted by reach.
Clippers
Posts and clips about the coin, weighted by views for their first week.
Scout
Whoever launched the coin and brought the KOL in.
$KOLPAD burn
Market-buys $KOLPAD and burns it.
Ops
Stays in the fee wallet to pay for transactions and keep the platform running.
Only fees a coin actually generated are ever split. Nothing is paid from anywhere else.
KOLs
Every coin is launched for one X account: the KOL. They get the biggest cut: at least 45% of everything it makes, more if the launcher chooses.
KOLs don't need to do anything to start earning. Their share builds up in a wallet made for that coin. When they log in with their X, everything in it is sent to their wallet on the next cycle, and from then on it's paid directly.
Bio squads
Put a coin's ticker (like $TICKER) or its contract address in your X bio, then hit Join on its page. You now share the squad's cut of its fees with everyone else in it.
Your weight is the square root of your followers (counted up to 250,000), divided by how many squads you're in. Bigger accounts earn more, but not so much more that small accounts don't matter, and stuffing ten tickers into one bio earns no more than one.
If a squad is empty, its share waits for the first members.
Clippers
Post about a coin on X, mentioning its ticker or contract address, then submit the link on the coin's page. Clips share the clippers' cut of the coin's fees.
A clip earns from every cycle for 7 days after it was posted. Its score is the square root of its views, times 2× for video and 1.25× for images. Views are re-read every couple of hours, so a clip that takes off earns more as it goes. Up to 5 clips per account per coin.
Scouts
Whoever launches a coin is its scout and keeps whatever cut of its fees they set at launch, forever. Spot a KOL before everyone else, launch their coin, and get paid for as long as people trade it.
$KOLPAD
Kolpad's own coin. 10% of every coin's fees buy $KOLPAD on the market and burn it, so every coin that does well shrinks the supply.
$KOLPAD itself has no KOL. Its own fees go 40% to its bio squad, 35% to its clippers and 25% to burning itself.
Keeping it fair
- To join a squad or submit clips, your X needs 50+ followers and to be at least 30 days old.
- One X account links to one wallet. Linking it to a new wallet moves it there.
- Square-root weighting and the follower cap stop any single account from taking a whole pool.
- Bios and clips are re-checked automatically. Protected accounts can't be read and don't earn.
- Every claim, payout and burn is a public transaction on the payouts page.
FAQ
Do I need to claim anything?+
No. Payouts are pushed to your wallet every 10 minutes once you're owed 0.005 SOL or more. Smaller amounts roll over until they cross the line.
Can a KOL say no?+
A coin can be launched for any public X account. If the KOL never links their X, their share just sits in escrow under their handle. Every other role still earns from day one.
Where do coins launch?+
Every coin is a normal pump.fun coin: same bonding curve, same graduation to PumpSwap. The only difference is that its creator fees are locked at launch, in the same transaction, to two fresh wallets made just for that coin: one for the KOL's share, one for everyone else's. Nobody can redirect them later.
What does linking my X do?+
It proves you own the account, so payouts for that handle go to your wallet. You log in with X once; we never get your password or post for you.
Do I have to keep the ticker in my bio?+
Yes, for as long as you want to earn from that coin's squad pool. Bios are re-checked every few hours; remove it and you stop earning until you add it back and rejoin.
Is there a fee to join?+
No. Joining squads and submitting clips is free and needs no transaction.
