How SocialsFun works
Everything about launching tokens from posts, where the trading fees go, and how creators get paid.
Overview
SocialsFun turns social posts into tokens. Anyone can launch a token from any public post on X, TikTok or Instagram by tagging @socialsfunapp with a ticker and a name. The token launches on pump.fun on Solana, and 80% of its trading fees go to the person who made the post, paid in dollars. The other 20% buys back and burns the SocialsFun token.
Creators don't need a crypto wallet, and they don't need to do anything before a token is launched from their post. Their share is set aside automatically and waits for them until they sign in and claim it.
Launching a token
Under any public post, write a comment or reply like this:
- 1Tag the botReply or comment with
@socialsfunapp, a ticker starting with$, and a name. - 2The bot picks it upThe bot checks for new tags every minute. Launches usually go live within one to two minutes.
- 3The token goes liveIt's created on pump.fun using the post's own picture, and the bot replies in the thread where the platform allows it.
The rules
- Ticker: the first word that starts with
$, using letters and numbers only, up to 10 characters. It's uppercased:$moonbecomes$MOON. - Name: everything else in your comment, up to 32 characters. Other @mentions and links are removed. If you leave the name out, the ticker is used as the name.
- No ticker, no launch. A tag without a
$TICKERisn't launched. On X and Instagram the bot replies explaining the format. - One token per post. If a post already has a token, the bot replies that it has already been tokenized.
- Launching is free. SocialsFun pays the network costs. Launchers don't earn fees; the post's author does.
- Creators who have opted out can't have new tokens launched from their posts. The bot replies saying so.
Which post the token belongs to
- A reply or comment launches the post it sits under.
- On X, a quote post that tags the bot launches the quoted post. A reply under someone's quote post launches the quote post itself, so its author earns the fees for building on the original.
- On X, a standalone post that tags the bot launches that post: you can tokenize your own post.

What gets created
- A pump.fun token on Solana with your ticker and name. It trades on pump.fun's bonding curve and moves to PumpSwap when it graduates.
- Image: the post's photo or video thumbnail. Posts without an image get an AI-generated one. Images are stored on IPFS so they never disappear.
- Description:
Launched on SocialsFun. Fees to @username on Platform. - Link: the original post, not the comment that launched it.
- A small first buy: SocialsFun buys 0.01 SOL of every new token so it shows up on pump.fun and trading sites. Those tokens are burned in the same transaction, so SocialsFun never holds any.
Where fees go
Every trade on pump.fun, and on PumpSwap after graduation, pays a creator fee. The rate is set by pump.fun. When SocialsFun launches a token, it routes 100% of that creator fee to the SocialsFun treasury using pump.fun's fee-sharing feature, then locks the setting. pump.fun only allows it to be set once, so nobody can change it afterwards, including us.
Every few minutes, SocialsFun collects each token's fees and splits every collection:
Converted from SOL to dollars (USDC) in batches at market price, then credited to their balance.
Each token has its own fee vault on-chain, so every collection is tied to exactly one token and one creator. The amount recorded is what actually arrived in the treasury, read from the confirmed transaction.
For creators
If someone launched a token from your post, your 80% is already being set aside. To see it and get paid, go to the creator dashboard and prove you own the account:
| Platform | How to verify |
|---|---|
| X | Sign in with X. We only read your public profile. |
| TikTok | Sign in with TikTok, or put a one-time code in your bio. |
| Put a one-time code in your bio (works for personal and business accounts). Remove it once you're verified. |
- Accounts are matched by the platform's permanent account ID, so changing your handle never loses your earnings.
- You can link several accounts (for example your X and your TikTok) and manage them all in one place.
- Unclaimed earnings never expire. They wait for you indefinitely, and nobody else can claim them.
- Opting out stops new tokens from being launched from your posts. Tokens that already exist keep trading and keep paying you.
- To receive payouts you accept the terms. If you're under 18, a parent or guardian must agree to the terms on your behalf.
Payouts
Payouts are automatic. When your all-time earnings reach $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500 and $1,000, and every $1,000 after that, your whole available balance is sent to your payout method.
| Method | Where | Fee | Speed | Details |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Debit card | US (USD), Eurozone (EUR), UK (GBP) | 4.8%, min $1.50 | Seconds after you enter your card | We email you a secure link (also on your dashboard) where you enter a debit card. We never see your card number. |
| Venmo | US | 4.9%, min $1.50 | Minutes | Needs your Venmo phone number, email and name. |
| PayPal | Where PayPal operates | 4.9%, min $1.50 | Minutes | Needs your PayPal email and name. |
| USDC | Worldwide | None | Seconds | Sent to your Solana wallet address. |
- Card, Venmo and PayPal payouts are handled by our payout partner, Laso Finance. Their fee is taken out of the payout.
- Debit card payouts need at least $10 after fees, and Venmo/PayPal at least $5. Smaller balances wait for the next milestone.
- Venmo and PayPal send at most $1,000 per transfer, and debit cards about $9,500, so bigger payouts are split into several transfers.
- Debit cards must be able to receive instant payouts: a debit card from a bank. Credit, prepaid and some online-bank cards are rejected.
- If a payout fails, for example because a payment service is down, your balance is restored and it's retried automatically every 15 minutes.
Buyback & burn
20% of every fee collection is set aside to buy the SocialsFun token on the open market and burn it, permanently removing it from supply. Buybacks run in batches once enough has built up, and every buy and burn transaction is listed on the payments ledger.
Trading
Every token has a page on SocialsFun with a live chart and a buy/sell box. Trades are routed through Jupiter, work before and after graduation, and are signed in your own Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and others). SocialsFun never holds your funds. The default maximum slippage is 3%.
Transparency
- The fee lock on every token is public on-chain and can't be changed.
- Every fee collection, creator payout, buyback and burn is listed on the payments ledger, with Solscan links where there's an on-chain transaction.
- An automatic check compares what the treasury owes creators with what it actually holds, every few minutes.
