Buyback & burn
The most community-focused launchpad, period. A quarter of every fee the platform earns belongs to the community pool. The program runs daily.
The daily top-3 buyback & burn
Every day, the community pool buys back and burns the top 3 tokens on pools.fun.
- Funded by the 25% community share of every fee, on every token, platform-wide.
- Bought on-chain, then burned — the tokens are permanently removed from supply, where everyone can verify it.
- The better the platform does, the bigger the daily buy-and-burns get. Fees in; buy pressure and supply reduction out.
How the pool splits
The day's pool isn't shared evenly — finishing first is worth more:
| Rank | Share of the day's pool |
|---|---|
| #1 | 50% |
| #2 | 30% |
| #3 | 20% |
The split follows your position, not your numbers: #1 gets the biggest buy because it finished first, not because its volume was larger. If a day ends with fewer than three qualifying tokens, the same proportions stretch across the ones that made it.
If a winner can't be priced when the buy runs, its share isn't reassigned to the others — that portion simply stays in the pool and rolls into a later day.
What qualifies
A token has to have actually traded in the 24 hours the day is scored on. We may also set a minimum daily volume, so a token can't reach the podium on a handful of dust trades — when that floor is in force, it's published with the day's results.
Each day's winners are frozen before anything is bought, on the numbers as they stood at that moment. Trading after the snapshot doesn't change that day's result, and if our data looks stale we skip the snapshot rather than freeze a list we don't trust.
Launch something people love, climb the leaderboard, and the platform itself becomes a buyer — and burner — of your token. No other launchpad does this.
Every cycle is on the record: the tokens chosen, the numbers they were chosen on, the rules in force that day, and the transactions that bought and burned them. Nothing about the program asks you to take our word for it.
The buyback-and-burn program (cadence, token count, selection criteria, the 50/30/20 split) is policy, not bytecode — we'll tune it as the community grows and tell you when we do. The 25% community share itself is enforced on-chain.
Reviving dead tokens (CTO)
Communities outlive creators. If a token's creator disappears, the community can take it over:
- A team fills out the CTO form making the case that the token is abandoned and they're the ones to carry it.
- If approved, the takeover is queued on-chain with a 7-day public notice — visible to everyone, including the original creator.
- After the notice period, the future fee stream (the creator's 20%) reassigns to the new team.
What a takeover can never touch: fees the original creator already earned (settled to them automatically) and their locked vault if one exists. The 7-day notice is public precisely so an active creator has the whole window to object — takeovers are only approved for genuinely dead tokens, and a queued takeover can be cancelled at any point before it executes.
