Protocol suite
Launch infrastructure, written into the program
01Protocol
Fee Router
Every market gets a vault, an address owned by the Fold program. At launch that vault is named as the coin's creator on the launchpad, so the creator fee lands there instead of in a wallet. The split between buyback and burn, holders and creator is written once, and the program has no instruction to change it
- Creator fee
Market vault
Immutable split
- Buyback
- Burn
- Holders
- Creator
02Protocol
Automated Buybacks
Each epoch the router collects the creator fee from the launchpad, buys the coin on its curve or pool and burns what it bought with the token program's own burn, so the supply really goes down. It sets the holder share aside and pays the creator. Only the creator, the payout wallet or the keeper can run one, and each sets a floor on the fill. 1% goes to the protocol treasury
- Vault balance

Floor on every fill
- Market buy
- SPL burn
- Holder claims
- Creator payout
03Protocol
Holder Claims
The holder share is divided among holders by balance each round and published as a Merkle root. Holders claim in SOL or the coin itself, whenever they like. The program never pays out more than the holder share collected, and a claim can only be paid once
- Holder share
Merkle root
Capped by what accrued
- SOL
- The coin
04Protocol
Plug In a Live Coin
A coin already trading on pump.fun does not need to relaunch. pump.fun's fee sharing hands the creator fee to one address and then locks the list for good. Make that address a Fold vault and the coin buys itself back from the next trade

Value engine
Fees in, value out
Pick how the creator fee is split when you launch. The split is fixed from that moment on, for every trade the token will ever make

On top of any split: buying tokenized stocks for holders, a holder raffle, a treasury vault, funding bands and a governed project, on the launch page
Supported launchpads
Launch through pump.fun, Meteora, Raydium and Genesis
01Launchpad
pump.fun
The biggest launchpad on Solana. Fold takes the coin's creator fee on the curve and after it graduates to PumpSwap, and Mayhem mode launches too
pump.fun
02Launchpad
Meteora
Meteora's dynamic bonding curve, the engine under many Solana launchpads, graduating into a DAMM v2 pool
meteora.ag
03Launchpad
Raydium
Open a Raydium CPMM pool with your own SOL and supply, at your own price. The liquidity is locked for good and its fees run through Fold
raydium.io
04Launchpad
Genesis
Buyers deposit SOL for a set window and share the sale pro rata; the raise opens a Raydium pool at the sale's price
metaplex.com
Open a market, or launch one
Pick where the creator fee goes, launch on the launchpad you already use, and the split is fixed from the first trade
