Overview
TIPFLOW is a launchpad on top of pump.fun. When you launch a token, you name one to 6 X (Twitter) accounts and the percentage each of them gets. The token's creator fees are permanently routed to the TIPFLOW treasury, claimed on-chain every 15 minutes, and credited to those accounts.
Recipients don't need to do anything up front — they don't even need to know the token exists. Whenever they want, they sign in with X on /claim, connect a Solana wallet and withdraw their balance in SOL. No fiat, no KYC off-ramp, no custody of the token itself.
trade → creator vault → TIPFLOW treasury → 80% to recipients · 20% $TIPFLOW buyback & burn
Supported venues
Pump (Solana). Tokens launched on pump.fun, both on the bonding curve and after migration to PumpSwap. Fees from both phases are claimed and paid out in SOL.
Pons (Robinhood Chain). Pons is a launchpad on Robinhood Chain, an EVM chain where the currency is ETH. You pour with an EVM wallet (MetaMask, Rabby…) and the people you tip are paid in ETH.
- Every Pons trade pays a 1% fee. Pons keeps 30% of it; the remaining 70% are the token's creator fees, and a TIPFLOW launch sets the TIPFLOW EVM treasury as their recipient. TIPFLOW then keeps 20% and credits 80% to the recipients, exactly like on pump.fun. There is no Happy Hour or burn on the ETH side: the 20% stays in the ETH treasury.
- Pons lets a token add an extra creator tax of up to 10% on every trade. If you choose one at launch, all of it flows to the creator fees, so it raises the tips (minus the 20%) and makes trading costlier.
- Pons tokens can tip X, GitHub, Twitch, YouTube, Kick and Reddit accounts. They claim on /tab by signing in as usual, then withdraw ETH to an EVM address they prove with a signature (minimum 0.001 ETH). Wallets, charities, Hype Squad and Holder Tips are pump.fun only for now.
- Fees are swept from the token's bonding curve every 15 minutes (after graduation Pons sweeps them from the pool) and credited per token from the on-chain sweep events, so nothing can be counted twice.
- The difference to pump.fun: on pump.fun the fee route is locked forever. On Pons, the Pons team can redirect a token's creator fees after a public notice period. TIPFLOW watches for that, alerts the team and marks the token as not payable if it ever happens.
Directing fees
pump.fun lets a token's creator set up a fee sharing config: a list of shareholders and their share of creator fees in basis points. A TIPFLOW launch creates this config in the same transaction as the token and sets exactly one shareholder: the TIPFLOW treasury, at 100% (10,000 bps). The config's admin authority is then revoked, which locks the route forever — nobody, including the deployer and TIPFLOW, can point the fees somewhere else afterwards.
1 create_v2 name, ticker, metadata URI (creator = your wallet)
2 buy optional initial buy
3 create_fee_sharing_config admin = your wallet
4 update_fee_shares [{ TIPFLOW_TREASURY, 10000 bps }]
5 revoke admin locked → route is permanentThe split between recipients is not stored in the pump.fun config — it lives in the TIPFLOW database, which is the source of truth. To make it publicly verifiable, the token description ends with a fee line that anyone can read on pump.fun:
Fees to @alice 50% @bob 30% @carol 20% via TIPFLOW
Fees to @alice via TIPFLOW
The parser is tolerant of spacing and letter case. Every token page shows this line under Fee proof and whether it matches the recorded split.
Registering an existing token
Already launched on pump.fun? Use the Register tab. If your wallet is still the admin of the token's fee sharing config, you sign update_fee_shares (treasury 100%) and revoke, then enter the split. The backend checks the config on-chain — a single shareholder, the treasury, 10,000 bps, admin revoked — before registering the token. You also sign the split itself (ed25519 over a JSON message); that signature is shown on the token page as proof that the deployer chose the recipients.
Detection
The indexer subscribes to the Pump Fees program and filters for configs that include the treasury, so new tokens are detected within seconds, without polling. A reconciliation pass re-scans the same accounts every 10 minutes as a backup.

Naming recipients
A recipient can be any of these kinds. Type it the way you'd naturally write it — the launch form recognises all of them:
- X account
@alice· enter as @alice · x.com/alice. Signs in with X to claim.- GitHub user
gh:octocat· enter as github.com/octocat · gh:octocat. Signs in with GitHub to claim.- Twitch streamer
twitch:name· enter as twitch.tv/name · twitch:name. Signs in with Twitch to claim.- YouTube channel
yt:UC…· enter as youtube.com/@name or the channel link. Signs in with the Google account that owns the channel.- Kick streamer
kick:name· enter as kick.com/name · kick:name. Signs in with Kick to claim.- Reddit user
reddit:name· enter as reddit.com/u/name · reddit:name. Signs in with Reddit to claim.- Solana wallet
sol:<address>· enter as a base58 address. Paid automatically above ◎0.10.- Verified charity
charity:<slug>· enter as picked from the list. Paid automatically above ◎0.10.
Each kind appears in the fee line in the same form, so the split stays readable and verifiable on pump.fun:
Fees to @alice 40% gh:octocat 30% sol:7xKXtg2CW87d97TXJSDpbD5jBkheTqA83TZRuJosgAsU 20% charity:give-well 10% via TIPFLOW
- One to 6 recipients per token, each at least 1%, in whole or half percent steps. Shares must add up to exactly 100%.
- Recipients must be unique within a token and can't be on the opt-out list.
- Percentages are shares of the recipient pool (80% of creator fees). A recipient at 50% therefore receives 40% of all creator fees.
- When a token is registered, each X handle (and each GitHub, Twitch, YouTube, Kick or Reddit account) is resolved to its permanent account ID. Credits follow the user ID, so renaming an account keeps the balance, and someone who later grabs an abandoned username doesn't get it. If the lookup fails, the ID is attached the first time the matching username signs in.
- Only charities verified by the TIPFLOW team can be named; their payout address is on record and shown on their profile.
- The split can't be edited after launch — the fee line in the description is public and permanent.
The 80/20 split
Every claim is divided in integer lamports — no floating point anywhere. 20% is the protocol cut: half of it fills the nightly Happy Hour pot for $TIPFLOW holders, the other half buys back and burns $TIPFLOW. The rest is split between recipients by their basis points. Rounding dust goes to the last recipient, so the parts always add up to the claim, to the lamport.
protocolCut = floor(amount × 2000 / 10000) happyCut = floor((protocolCut − referralCut) / 2) → Happy Hour pot buyback = protocolCut − referralCut − happyCut → buyback & burn recipientPool = amount − protocolCut share[i] = floor(recipientPool × bps[i] / 10000) share[last] += recipientPool − Σ share (dust)
Happy Hour 0.100000000 SOL → $TIPFLOW holders, tonight buyback & burn 0.100000000 SOL → $TIPFLOW burned @alice 50% 0.400000000 SOL @bob 30% 0.240000000 SOL @carol 20% 0.160000000 SOL
Endorsements
Being named as a recipient doesn't mean you asked for the token. That's why recipients can endorse a token that pays them: sign in on /claim and press Endorse next to the token. Endorsements can be withdrawn at any time.
- An endorsed token shows a badge on its page and cards, with the endorsing recipients listed.
- Endorsed tokens rank higher in Explore and can be filtered on.
- Only X and GitHub recipients can endorse — wallets and charities have no sign-in.
Addresses ending in tip
Every token poured on TIPFLOW gets a contract address that ends in tip, the way pump.fun's own tokens end in pump. The addresses are generated ahead of time and each one is used for exactly one token, so you can spot a TIPFLOW token from its CA alone.
Happy Hour
Half of the protocol cut of every claim, from every token on TIPFLOW, goes into one pot. Every day at 00:00 UTC the pot is split between the wallets holding $TIPFLOW, pro rata to their balance, and credited to them in SOL.
- At least 100,000 $TIPFLOW to join, up to 1,000 wallets per night.
- Balances are read on-chain at settlement (Helius
getTokenAccounts). Pools, bonding curves and other program-owned accounts never count, nor do TIPFLOW's own wallets. - Tips are sent to the wallet automatically once they reach ◎0.02. Nothing to claim or sign.
- If there are no eligible holders (or $TIPFLOW is not live yet) the pot rolls over to the next night.
Holder Tips
Any token can tip its own holders. Add holders as a recipient (the Holder Tips button in the launch studio) and give it a share. That share collects in the token's holders pool, and every night at 00:00 UTC it is split between the token's top 100 wallets by balance and sent to them in SOL, the same way as Happy Hour.
Fees to @alice 60% holders 40% via TIPFLOW
TIPFLOW Live
Streamers get a free overlay for OBS or Streamlabs that shows every buy of a token naming them and every tip as it lands, with a running tip-jar total. Build the link on TIPFLOW Live, add it as a browser source (1920 × 1080) and you're done. No sign-in is needed for the overlay; signing in is only needed to withdraw.

pospicks the corner (bl,br,tl,tr),minis the smallest buy in SOL that pops an alert.buys=0shows tips only,jar=0hides the total,sound=0mutes the clink,demo=1plays fake alerts while you set it up.
Hype Squad
Add Hype Squad as a recipient and that share of the fees goes to whoever shills the token best on X. It can take the whole recipient share or sit next to other recipients, for example Fees to @orangie 50% shillers 50% via TIPFLOW.
- The share collects in the token's pot. Every day at 00:00 UTC the pot is split between the top 25 accounts of that UTC day, pro rata to their points. No account gets more than 30% of a day's pot.
- A post counts when it contains the token's contract address or a link to it (pump.fun, DexScreener, usetipflow.fun). Reposts don't count, so tokens that share a ticker never mix.
- Points: 1 per like, 3 per repost, 3 per quote, 1 per reply, 2 per bookmark and 1 per 250 views. Only an account's best 3 posts of the day count.
- Engagement is re-checked before the payout and deleted posts drop out. Accounts need 25+ followers and must be at least 14 days old.
- If nobody qualifies, the pot rolls over to the next day.
- Winnings land on the shiller's TIPFLOW balance, tied to their X account. They withdraw by signing in with X on /claim.
How claims work
- Every 15 minutes a job checks the creator vault of each payable token. If it holds at least ◎0.01, it calls
distribute_creator_feesand the SOL lands in the treasury. Migrated tokens are claimed through PumpSwap. - Several tokens are batched into one transaction where possible.
- The amount credited is the actual increase of the treasury balance in that transaction (pre/post balances from the transaction meta), not an estimate.
- Each claim is recorded once, keyed by its transaction signature. Re-running the job can't double-count. Failed claims write nothing and retry with exponential backoff.
- Credits are appended to a ledger. A balance is always
Σ credits − Σ debits— it's never stored as a number that could be edited.
Withdrawing
- Go to /claim and Sign in with X. We only read your user ID and username.
- See your balance per token. Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack).
- Sign a message proving you control the destination address:
TIPFLOW withdraw to <address> for @handle, nonce <n>
- Minimum withdrawal is ◎0.01. One pending withdrawal per account at a time.
- SOL is sent from a dedicated payout wallet, separate from the treasury, which holds only a daily budget. The debit and the withdrawal are written in the same database transaction, and the transaction signature is shown in your history and on Payments.
- Signing costs nothing — you don't pay network fees to withdraw.
Automatic payouts
Don't want to come back to withdraw? X and GitHub recipients can opt in to automatic payouts once: sign in on /claim, pick a destination wallet and a threshold, and sign one message with that wallet. From then on, whenever your balance reaches the threshold, it is sent automatically.
TIPFLOW auto-payout to <address> for @handle above <threshold> SOL, nonce <n>
- Default threshold ◎0.10, minimum ◎0.05. You can change or turn it off at any time.
- Wallet and charity recipients can't sign in, so they are always paid automatically once they hold at least ◎0.10.
- Automatic payouts use the same path as manual withdrawals — the same locks, daily cap and kill switch apply, and every payout shows up on Payments.
Unclaimed balances
Balances never expire. If an account never signs in, its credits stay on the ledger and remain withdrawable at any time. Every public profile shows earned, withdrawn and available amounts, so recipients can find out they're owed.
$TIPFLOW buyback & burn
Half of the 20% protocol cut (after any referral) accumulates in the buyback bucket; the other half goes to Happy Hour. Once an hour, if the bucket holds at least ◎0.50, it is swapped SOL → $TIPFLOW through Jupiter, and the purchased tokens are burned with an SPL burn instruction. Both the swap and the burn signatures are recorded.
Until $TIPFLOW is live, the bucket simply accumulates. The full history is public on the Bonfire, and the totals on Stats.
Referral program
Bring launches to TIPFLOW and earn from them. Share your link — the ref is your X handle:
https://usetipflow.fun/launch?ref=<your X handle>
- You earn 25% of the protocol share of every token you refer — 5% of all its creator fees — for the lifetime of the token. It comes out of the 20% protocol cut; recipients' 80% is never touched.
- The referral is stored in a cookie for 30 days. First touch wins: a later link from someone else doesn't replace it.
- You can't refer yourself as a recipient — if the referrer is also named in the split, no referral is recorded. Opted-out handles don't earn referrals either.
- Referral earnings are credited to your X account and withdrawn on /claim like any other balance.
Featured on X
Tokens that cross $20K market cap are queued to be featured on our main X account, @tipflow. Every candidate is reviewed by the team before it's posted, so a feature isn't guaranteed — tokens that look like spam, impersonation or a rug are skipped. Only payable tokens qualify.
Stopping payments
Don't want fees from tokens you didn't ask for? Sign in with X on /claim and press Stop payments to me (or ask us to do it for you). Your handle goes on the do-not-pay list and:
- it is hidden across the site and can't be named in new launches;
- your share of future claims is redirected — 50% to the protocol treasury, 50% to the $TIPFLOW buyback;
- you can still withdraw the balance you already have for 30 days. After that, the remainder is redirected the same way.
Token not registering
A token only earns once it's PAYABLE. Tokens marked “Not payable” show the reason on their page. Common causes:
- Config is not 100% to the treasury — another shareholder exists, or the treasury has fewer than 10,000 bps.
- Admin not locked —
revokewasn't signed, so the route could still change. - Split missing — the config points to us, but there is no split on record (e.g. the Register flow wasn't completed).
- More than 6 recipients, shares that don't add up to 100%, or an invalid handle.
- Handle opted out — a recipient is on the do-not-pay list.
- Not detected yet — detection is near-instant, with a full reconciliation every 10 minutes. Give it a moment.
Still stuck? Reach us on X at @tipflow with the mint address.
