Introduction

STAGE is a pump.fun launchpad where every coin has a live party, with chat and a voice room, and the coin's creator fees go to whoever the holders vote for in it.

On most launchpads the creator fees go to the dev, and holders hope they're spent well. Here they fund the room itself. Sing, tell jokes, host a show, hype the chart: if the holders want to hear you, they vote you onto the stage, and you're paid every minute you lead.

Quickstart

To perform

1. Buy at least 10,000 of the coin from the trade panel on its page.
2. Connect your wallet and press Join the party. You sign one message. It's free and sends nothing.
3. Join voice, unmute, and do your thing. Say your name in chat so holders know who to vote for.
4. Stay on the page. While you lead, you're paid every minute. Leave the party and the next person takes over.

To vote

1. Hold at least 10,000 of the coin and join the party.
2. Press Vote next to someone on the stage, on their message, or on their voice avatar.
3. Change it any time. Your vote stays until you move it or take it back.

To launch

1. Go to Launch, add a name, ticker and image, and an optional first buy.
2. Approve one transaction. The coin, its fee lock, and your first buy all happen in it.
3. You land in your coin's party as the host, with a Dev badge.

How the stage works

Each coin has one stage. There are no rounds and no schedule: at every moment, the person with the most holder votes who is in the party is the leader, and the leader is who the fees are paid to.

Voting

• Who can vote: wallets holding at least 10,000 of the coin that have joined the party. The dev can't vote.
• Who can be voted for: anyone in the party right now, except the dev and yourself.
• Weight: your vote counts the tokens you hold, capped at 5% of supply per wallet.
• Re-checked every minute: balances are read from the chain before every payout. Sell, and your vote shrinks with your bag.
• Change it any time, at most once every 20 seconds, or take it back.

Payouts

Once a minute, for every coin, the site:

1. works out the leader, with every voter's balance read fresh from the chain;
2. claims the coin's new creator fees from pump.fun into the coin's vault;
3. in the same transaction, pays 20% of what was claimed to the dev and sends everything else in the vault to the leader.

Each payout appears in the party's chat with a link to its transaction. The site pays the network fees. The vault always keeps its small rent-exempt minimum (about 0.0009 SOL), which Solana requires.

Rules at a glance

The main stage

The home page has one big stage for the site's own coin. It works differently from coin stages:

• No wallet connection. Paste the wallet you want to be paid to, add a name if you like, and join the queue.
• First come, first served. Everyone gets one minute on the mic, in order. The queue counter shows how many are waiting, and your page shows your place and roughly when you're on.
• Your minute, your mic. The browser you joined from gets the microphone when your minute starts, and it's switched off when it ends. Everyone else listens.
• Paid by the team. Main stage performers are paid by hand by the team, not by the automatic fee split. Every payment shows in the chat with its on-chain transaction.

Chat

• Anyone can read. Holders of 10,000+ can post.
• Each message shows the sender's share of the supply, and the dev's messages carry a Dev badge.
• No links (contract addresses are fine), a few messages every ten seconds per wallet, and no repeats.
• Pick a display name from the wallet menu. Your wallet is always shown next to it.

Voice

• Press Join voice on a coin page. Holders join with a mic, muted until they unmute. Everyone else joins as a listener.
• Everyone on the mic can talk at once. A ring shows who's speaking, and a crown shows who's earning.
• You stay in the room while you browse the site, with a small bar to mute or leave.

Moderation

The dev hosts their coin's party. They can delete messages and mute a wallet for an hour or a day. A muted wallet can't chat, can't vote, can't be voted for, and is removed from voice. The site's moderators can do the same in every party and can ban a wallet site-wide.

Launching

A launch is one transaction, signed by your wallet. It creates a standard pump.fun coin, creates its fee sharing account pointing 100% at the coin's own vault, and makes your first buy if you set one. It costs about 0.03 SOL in pump.fun rent and network fees, plus your first buy.

As the launcher you're paid 20% of the coin's creator fees every minute, whoever is on stage. You don't claim anything on pump.fun: the site does it for you.

Trading

Every coin page has a live chart built from on-chain trades and a buy/sell panel. The site builds the transaction; your wallet signs and sends it to pump.fun, or to PumpSwap once the coin has graduated. We take no fee on trades.

The fee lock

pump.fun lets a coin send its creator fees to shareholders through a fee sharing account. The launch transaction creates that account with a single shareholder, the coin's own vault, at 100%. The account's admin is the site's launch key, never the dev, so the dev can't point the fees at themselves after launch. Each coin has its own vault; nothing is pooled across coins.

Verify it yourself

• On any coin page, the About panel links to the coin's vault and its fee lock on Solscan.
• The fee lock account lists the vault as the only shareholder at 10,000 basis points (100%).
• Every payout in the chat links to its transaction: one claim, one transfer to the dev, one to the leader.

What you still trust

The split is enforced by the site's payout service, which holds the vault keys and runs every minute. The chain proves the fees go to the vault; it's the site that pays the vault out to the dev and the leader. If the service stops, fees keep collecting safely in each coin's vault until it resumes. Voice runs on LiveKit, and chat and votes are stored by the site.
