How HoldPad works

HoldPad launches real pump.fun tokens and lets you split creator fees to wallets, GitHub, or X @handles. An optional 0–10 SOL bond can sit behind the launch. After migration, 80% of any bond is refundable; 20% funds $HOLD buybacks and burns.

Overview

The main product is creator fee splits: route pump.fun trading fees across wallets, GitHub accounts, or X @handles. You can also optionally bond 0–10 SOL behind the launch; that amount is sent in the same transaction that creates your token and is shown on the token page and in Explore.

The token itself is a normal pump.fun coin. It trades on pump.fun like any other token. HoldPad does not change how trading works and does not take a cut of pump.fun creator fees.

The launch transaction

Everything happens in one atomic Solana transaction, signed by your wallet. If any instruction fails, the whole transaction fails and no commitment is transferred.

system::transfer

Your optional commitment, 0–10 whole SOL (0 = none), goes from your wallet to the HoldPad treasury when set.

pump::create_v2

The token is created on pump.fun with your name, ticker and metadata, paired with SOL. Creator fees start with you (or holders); a custom split can lock right after.

pump::buy

Optional dev buy: your first purchase of your own token.

fees::share

Optional second transaction: lock a multi-recipient fee split (wallets, GitHub, X @handles).

After it confirms, the HoldPad server checks the transaction on-chain: that it succeeded, that you signed and paid, that the token was created by pump.fun with the submitted name, ticker and metadata, and that the treasury received exactly the chosen commitment. Only then is the launch listed.

Commitment

Commitment is optional. Choose any whole amount from 0 to 10 SOL (0 skips the bond). There is no free-form input and no decimals: the amount is fixed when you sign and shown on the token page afterwards.

Besides the commitment (and any dev buy), a launch needs about 0.03 SOL for network fees and rent.

When you bond SOL, 80% is held for a possible refund after migration, and 20% is the protocol share from the moment of launch.

Creator fees

Every trade of a pump.fun token pays a small creator fee. On HoldPad you can split those fees across up to 8 recipients. Shares are permanent once locked.

Wallet: on-chain shareholder. Fees distribute to that address via pump.fun fee sharing.
GitHub: native pump.fun social fee PDA. The user claims on pump.fun after GitHub login.
X @handle: pump does not support X PDAs yet, so that share is sent to the HoldPad escrow. Recipients sign in with 𝕏 on Claim and withdraw SOL or USDC.
Holders: optional preset for pump.fun holder-reward mode instead of a custom split.

HoldPad never takes a cut of creator fees. The commitment protocol share (buybacks) is separate from trading fees.

To claim X-handle fee shares, open /claim, sign in with 𝕏 , connect a wallet, and withdraw as SOL or USDC.

Dev buy

You can optionally buy your own token in the same transaction, up to 50 SOL. The dev buy is your own purchase at the pump.fun price: you receive the tokens, and it is not refundable. Your wallet pays at most the dev buy plus 1%.

Migration and refunds

When a pump.fun token completes its bonding curve it migrates. For a HoldPad launch, migration is what makes the refundable share claimable.

Once migration is verified, 80% of the commitment is sent back to the wallet that launched the token, never to any other address. The protocol share is not refunded. You can claim from the token page or your Profile. The token page then shows REFUNDED, the amount returned and, when available, the refund transaction on Solscan.

If the token does not migrate, nothing is refundable. The CLAIM button becomes available only after migration is verified on-chain.

Analytics

Protocol Analytics reports live figures from the real protocol ledger only. Sample Explore launches are not included.

Protocol fees = 20% of each real commitment
Volume = gross commitments by UTC day
Buyback and burn = Jupiter swaps + SPL burns recorded by the buyback worker
Top recipients = wallets by gross commitment sent

USD values use a live SOL price from Jupiter when available; otherwise totals are shown in SOL.

Safety

Your wallet shows and signs the full transaction. HoldPad never asks for your seed phrase.
Before you sign, the site checks the prepared transaction: fee payer, treasury, exact commitment, where the creator fees go, programs and compute budget.
The token's mint key is generated in your browser, used once to sign, and never stored.
Refunds can only be paid to the wallet that launched the token, and only for the refundable share (80%).

FAQ

What is HoldPad?

HoldPad launches real pump.fun tokens and lets you split creator fees across wallets, GitHub users, or X @handles. An optional 0–10 SOL bond can sit behind the launch.

What is the fee split?

When you launch, you can route pump.fun creator fees across wallets, GitHub users, or 𝕏 handles. The split locks on-chain after launch. HoldPad does not take creator fees.

How do 𝕏 handles get paid?

X is not natively supported by pump.fun yet, so those shares go to a HoldPad escrow. Recipients sign in with 𝕏 on the Claim page, connect a wallet, and withdraw SOL or USDC.

Is the SOL bond required?

No. Commitment is optional: choose 0 to 10 whole SOL, or 0 to skip. When you bond, SOL is sent to the HoldPad treasury in the same launch transaction.

When do I get bonded SOL back?

If you bonded SOL, after migration 80% is refundable to the launching wallet. The other 20% is the protocol share and funds $HOLD buybacks and burns. If you chose 0, there is nothing to refund.

What if my token doesn't migrate?

Nothing is refundable until migration. Any protocol share from a bond still accrues toward buybacks. Bond only what you are comfortable holding, or choose 0.

Is it a normal pump.fun token?

Yes. HoldPad creates it with the official pump.fun program, paired with SOL, and it trades on pump.fun like any other coin.

What is the buyback and burn?

The protocol share (20% of each bonded commitment) buys $HOLD on Jupiter, then burns it with the SPL Token burn instruction so supply shrinks. Every run is listed on Analytics.

What is the dev buy?

An optional first buy of your own token, up to 50 SOL, in the same transaction. It is your own purchase and is not refundable.

Does HoldPad hold my keys?

No. Your wallet signs the transaction. The token's mint key is generated in your browser, used once to sign, and never stored. X fee shares are the only custodial path (escrow until claim).

What does a launch cost?

Network fees and rent (about 0.03 SOL), plus any optional bond and optional dev buy.

Ready to launch?

Hold 0–10 SOL behind your token (optional) in one transaction.
