How YIELD PAD works

1. Launch or buy a coin. Every coin here yields SOL to its holders. No setup.
2. Hold. Each buy climbs from 1x to 10x on its own clock.
3. Get paid. SOL lands in your wallet every 10 minutes, sized by bag × multiplier.

FAQ

Where does the SOL come from?

Trading fees. pump.fun charges a creator fee of 0.3% on every trade. On YIELD PAD that fee is split: 70% to the coin's holders, 10% to its creator, 10% to $YIELD holders, 5% to $YIELD buybacks and 5% to the platform. The split is locked when the coin launches.

Who holds the money?

Nobody. Each coin's share goes from pump.fun straight into a vault owned by the payout program. The program has no withdraw instruction: it can only pay wallets listed in a published round.

How do I know the payouts are right?

Every round publishes its file before anything is paid: the wallets, their bags, multipliers, weights and amounts. Its fingerprint (the root) is posted on chain, and the vault only pays rows that match it. Anyone can recompute the file from the chain.

Do I need to claim?

No. Payouts land in your wallet automatically. Anyone can trigger a posted payout batch, so a stalled server cannot hold your SOL.

What happens if I sell part of my bag?

Only the sold part loses out: its share of the current round and its part of anything still waiting go to the holders who stayed. Your other buys keep their clocks.

Why did my multiplier drop after I bought more?

It did not drop: your new buy starts at 1x and your bag shows the average. Each buy climbs on its own clock.

Can I move my tokens to another wallet?

Yes, but tokens arrive at 1x. Age never moves between wallets, so aged wallets cannot be sold or rented.

Is there a minimum?

100.0k tokens of the coin at the close of the round. Below that the wallet waits, and its buys keep ageing.

What about snipers?

Buys in the first 2 blocks after launch never earn, other than the creator's own first buy at launch.

What does the creator get?

10% of the coin's creator fee, paid by pump.fun straight to the creator's wallet. Creators who keep their coin alive keep earning.

What does $YIELD do?

Its holders earn 10% of every coin launched here, paid the same way: SOL every 10 minutes, and your share grows up to 10x the longer you hold.

Verify a round

1. Open a round from any coin page or Payouts, and download its file (JSON).
2. Check the totals: SOL in = paid + still owed + carried over.
3. Check each share: round SOL × the wallet's weight ÷ total weight, rounded down, with the few leftover units given one each to the largest remainders.
4. Rebuild the tree: payouts are in wallet order, 10 per batch. The file spells out the exact hashing of each batch and each pair of nodes. The top of the tree is the root posted on chain, and the vault only pays batches that prove against it.
5. To check the weights too, replay the coin's trades with the open engine and the rules version named in the file.

You don't have to do this yourself for every round. Each round's file is public before its root goes on chain, and the vault won't pay it for 10 minutes. In that window a separate checker, with its own key and its own copy of the chain data, rebuilds the round and stops any round that doesn't match.

Risks

• Payouts come from trading fees. When volume drops, rounds get smaller. Past rounds don't predict future ones.
• The multiplier sizes your share of the fees. It says nothing about the coin's price.
• Memecoins can go to zero. Only buy what you can lose.
• The payout program is new software. Its address, code and upgrade authority are public on chain.
• Stock tokens (NVDAx, SPYx and the rest) are issued by a company that can pause transfers, freeze accounts and move tokens (a permanent delegate). A pause delays payouts in that token; the money stays in the coin's vault until transfers resume.
