How it works
Every coin here is assigned to one X account and accrues its fees for that account. This page covers the whole system: how a coin is assigned to an X account, how ownership of the handle is proved with X sign-in, and how the accrued fees are paid out to the verified owner's X Money balance, in dollars.
Overview
A coin here is two things at once. It is an ordinary bonding curve holding the entire supply, tradeable from the first trade, graduating into a Raydium pool with permanently locked liquidity. And it is a payment instruction: the 1% creator fee it charges on every trade belongs to one named X account, and that account collects it by signing in with X and claiming it to their X Money balance.
The X account
Every coin is assigned to one X account when it launches. You type the handle in yourself, and it can be anyone: the whole point is that you can launch a coin for someone who has never heard of this site. Typing a handle does not give you anything. It only says where the fees go.
The handle is written once and never changed. Re-pointing a coin's payouts after the fact would make every claim already made against it retroactively wrong, so the field is immutable from the launch transaction onward.
Proving the handle
There is no site-wide account. Launching needs a wallet, browsing needs nothing, and identity is asked for exactly once: when the account a coin pays comes to collect. Signing in with X establishes one fact — that you hold this handle. The fees are then paid to your X Money balance, in dollars.
Earned vs claimable
Creator fees accrue from the first trade into a claimable vault. The coin page shows two figures: total earned, which is the lifetime fee the coin has generated, and claimable, which is what is currently available to claim. Claiming pays out the claimable balance and resets it, while total earned keeps counting.
Lifecycle
- 01
Create
You name the X account the fees belong to, set a name, ticker, image and links, and pay the launch fee. The entire supply is minted straight to a bonding curve.
- 02
Trade the curve
Anyone can buy and sell immediately. Price rises as people buy and falls as they sell. The 1% creator fee accrues to the claimable vault on every trade.
- 03
Graduate
Once the curve sells out, everything it collected seeds a Raydium pool and that liquidity is locked permanently.
- 04
Claim
The named account signs in with X, which proves ownership of the handle, then claims the fees straight to their X Money balance.
- 05
Settle
The accrued fees are paid to the verified owner's X Money balance in dollars, and the claimable balance resets so it can't be claimed twice.
Bonding curve
A bonding curve is a vending machine. It holds the whole supply from the moment of launch and will always sell you tokens and always buy them back. The price is worked out from how much of the supply has been bought so far, not set by anyone and not negotiated.
Graduation
When the curve sells out, its proceeds seed a Raydium pool and the liquidity is locked forever. From that point the coin trades on the open pool rather than the curve. Creator fees keep accruing to the named account's claimable vault throughout.
Fees
The creator fee is the same 1% for every coin on the platform. It is not a setting. A per-launch choice only ever produced coins that were quietly worse to trade than their neighbours.
The fee vault
Every launch derives its own fee vault, and that vault is set as the coin's fee recipient in the launch transaction itself. Fees from a coin accrue only to that coin's vault, so one coin's trading volume can never fund another's payout.
Contracts
Everything runs on the pump.fun program on Solana mainnet. Each launch gets its own SPL token mint and bonding curve, which you should resolve from the program rather than hardcoding.
Risks
- US users only. X Money is currently available in the United States only, so claiming and receiving creator fees is limited to US users.
- Payouts land in your X Money balance, in dollars. Proving you own a handle uses X sign-in, and the accrued fees are converted and paid to your X Money balance when you claim — you never have to touch a wallet to get paid.
- Claiming needs X sign-in. Fees accrue no matter what, but to claim them the handle owner must sign in with X to prove ownership. Until someone proves the handle, the balance simply keeps accruing.
- Anyone can create a coin with any name, including one that impersonates a real project or person. Names are not unique and are not verified. Check the contract address, which is the only identifier that cannot be copied.
- Graduating is not a quality signal. It only means the curve sold out.
- Transactions are signed by your own wallet and are irreversible.
FAQ
Can I launch a coin for someone else's X account?
Yes, and that is a first-class case rather than a loophole. The fees accrue to that account's vault from the first trade. You cannot collect them, only the handle can, so launching for somebody else is a gift, not a business.
Does the person need an account here?
No. Nothing is required of them for the coin to launch or to earn. They only need to sign in with X at the point they want the money, and that sign-in proves the handle and nothing else.
Why can't I claim my fees yet?
Either the coins launched for your handle have had no trades yet, so nothing has accrued, or you have already claimed the current balance. Fees build up in a claimable vault on every trade, so once there is volume there is something to claim.
Do I need a wallet to get paid?
No. You prove you own the handle by signing in with X, and the fees are paid straight to your X Money balance in dollars. There is no wallet to set up and nothing to paste.
Is this X's product?
No. This is an independent launchpad. Coins are launched and traded on Solana, and signing in with X proves you own a handle — the creator fees you earn are paid to your X Money balance.
Launch a coin on Solana and name the X account its creator fees belong to — your own, or somebody else's.
