How HODL Pads works.

Plain-language docs for holders and developers. If something here and the chain ever disagree, the chain wins.

How HODL Pads works

HODL Pads is a launchpad on Solana. Coins are created on Pump.fun — the same bonding curve, the same trading — but every coin launched through HODL Pads shares its creator fees with the people holding it.

  • Launch. A developer creates a coin here. Their wallet signs one transaction; the coin is live on Pump.fun immediately.
  • Hold. Anyone buys and holds it. The longer you hold, the higher your multiplier.
  • Earn. Every 10 minutes the coin's fees are distributed and holders are paid in SOL, by bag × multiplier.

The fee split

Each coin's creator fees are split on-chain at launch:

  • 50% → the holder vault, paid to that coin's holders every 10 minutes.
  • 50% → the HODL Pads ecosystem pool: 90% to $HOLPS holders every 10 minutes, 10% to the treasury.

The split is enforced by Pump.fun's own fee-sharing program (pfeeUxB6…ojVZ). When a coin trades, its creator fees accrue to the coin's fee-sharing config, and a permissionless distribute_creator_fees instruction splits them to exactly two wallets by basis points. HODL Pads calls it every round and records what each wallet received from the transaction itself.

Defaults can change for future launches (always shown on the Fees page). A coin's split never changes because of a settings change — it is written on-chain when the coin launches.

The hold multiplier

  • 1x when you start holding, 1.5x after 10 minutes.
  • Then +1x per interval — fast (10 min), normal (1 hour) or slow (4 hours), chosen by the creator — up to the coin's max: 3x, 5x or 10x.
  • After the max, every extra full day held adds +1x, up to 10x.
  • Any sell or transfer out resets you to 1x, and your share of that round goes to the holders who stayed.
  • Buying more moves your clock forward in proportion to what you added, so a long-held small bag can't be turned into an instant 10x whale.

Only regular wallets earn. Program accounts — the bonding curve, PumpSwap pools, HODL Pads' own wallets — are excluded.

Payouts and claiming

Rewards are pushed to your wallet automatically each round — no claiming, no gas. Amounts smaller than 0.00005 SOL keep accruing until they are worth sending. Brand-new wallets need at least the Solana rent minimum (~0.00089 SOL) before they can receive SOL.

Prefer not to wait? On Rewards you can claim everything you are owed instantly by signing a message. Signing is free and cannot move funds; HODL Pads pays the network fee.

Developer prize

Developers don't take a cut of their holders' fees. Instead, $HOLPS's own creator fees fill a dev fund, and every day at 18:00 UTC the 10 developers whose coins reached the highest market cap in the previous 24 hours split 90% of it. A coin needs at least 25 holders and a verified fee split to qualify. Each developer counts once, with their best coin.

On-chain architecture

  • Launch: one transaction creates the coin with Pump.fun create_v2 and, in the same transaction, create_fee_sharing_config + update_fee_shares. A dev buy is a second transaction sent together with the first as one Jito bundle, so both land in order or not at all.
  • Before any launch is offered, the server simulates a full launch against mainnet. If Pump.fun changes and the fee-sharing path fails, launches pause automatically.
  • Distribution: Pump.fun's permissionless distribute_creator_fees, cranked every round.
  • Reward accounting: holder snapshots (every token account of the mint), multipliers and allocations are computed by the HODL Pads engine and stored per round. Every payout is a normal SOL transfer you can verify on Solscan.
  • Split lock: Pump.fun locks a fee-sharing config permanently the first time its shares are set, and that happens inside the launch transaction. So every HODL Pads coin is born with its split locked; nobody at HODL Pads can change it afterwards. A coin counts as “Split verified” only when its on-chain config is locked, its creator is that config, and its shareholders are exactly the two addresses below.
  • Data: markets come from the bonding curve account (or the PumpSwap pool after graduation); volume and activity from Pump.fun trade events in indexed transactions.

Today the holder vault and ecosystem pool are server-controlled wallets: the allocation logic runs off-chain and every input and output is published. The planned upgrade is an on-chain distributor program where each round's allocations are committed as a Merkle root and holders claim trustlessly — it removes the need to trust the operator with the vaults.

Admin privileges

Everything the operators can do, stated plainly:

  • Each coin's split is permanent. It is locked on-chain in the launch transaction and pays, forever, 50% to the holder vault and 50% to the ecosystem pool. HODL Pads cannot redirect any coin's fees.
  • Fee-sharing authority only creates each coin's config inside the launch and co-signs it. Once the launch lands it has no power over that coin's split.
  • Because the receiving addresses are permanent, control of them must be able to change. The planned setup makes the holder vault, ecosystem pool and dev fund Squads v4 multisig vaults: the vault address never changes, while the keys that control it can be rotated by the multisig's members, and the payout bot only holds a capped daily spending limit it cannot raise. Until that switch is made, they are server-operated hot wallets.
  • Pump.fun itself keeps a community-takeover authority (admin_cto) that can rewrite any coin's creator and fee-sharing config, locked or not. HODL Pads does not control it. If it is ever used on a HODL Pads coin, that coin shows “split not verified” and its rewards stop.
  • Holder vault, ecosystem pool and dev fund pay every round. Their balances and every outgoing transaction are public on the Fees page and Solscan.
  • Treasury receives only the treasury share (10% of the pool) and should be a multisig.
  • Settings (split for future launches, minimum payout, dev prize weights) are validated: holders can never get less than 10%, the treasury never more than 20% of the pool.
  • Pause: launches pause automatically when verification fails; payouts stop if the engine is stopped. Neither moves anyone's funds.
  • HODL Pads never asks for, receives or stores seed phrases or private keys, and never signs for your wallet.

How to read the numbers

  • On-chain — backed by confirmed Solana transactions.
  • Accrued — allocated to wallets in a round, not yet sent (usually below the minimum payout).
  • Estimate — calculated, not confirmed (e.g. multiplier schedules, cost previews).
  • No data yet — nothing indexed. We show a dash, never a made-up number. HODL Pads uses no demo data in production.

Risk disclosure

  • Memecoins are extremely volatile. Most lose most or all of their value.
  • Holder rewards come only from trading fees. No volume means no rewards. Nothing is guaranteed.
  • Pump.fun can change its programs or fees. HODL Pads re-verifies the launch path daily and pauses launches if it breaks.
  • Smart-contract, RPC and operational risks apply, including risks of the server-operated payout wallets.
  • HODL Pads is an independent project, not affiliated with, endorsed or operated by Pump.fun. Nothing here is financial advice.
