how it works
1
you launch
pick a name, ticker, and image. you sign the pump.fun create transaction with your own wallet. no dev buy, no allocation.
2
every mint ends in *burn
your token is created on a pre-ground address ending in "burn" — proof it was issued through burnt.
3
fees route to a burn vault
the token's on-chain creator is a vault wallet controlled only by the engine. all creator fees — bonding curve and pumpswap — accrue there.
4
the engine buys back
fees are claimed every 2 minutes. at random moments, the engine market-buys the token with 95% of the pool. 5% is the platform fee.
5
supply is destroyed
bought tokens are burned on-chain. every claim, buy, and burn signature is published on the token's page.
the mint and vault keys stay with the burnt engine — launchers never custody them, and creator fees can never be claimed by anyone. every action the engine takes is an on-chain signature you can audit.
