FAQ
How WeBall works
How a payout round works
- 1
Every trade has a fee
In SOL, or in the token the coin is paired with. Buys and sells, on the curve or in the locked pool.
- 2
Fees are claimed
Hourly. In holder mode, most of the fee share currently goes to the coin’s holder pot. Payouts start once a pot first reaches 2 SOL.
- 3
We mark the slot
Your share is your balance at a snapshot slot, public every round, counting what you’ve held since the round before.
- 4
The basket is bought and sent to holders
At the creator’s weights, at most every hour.
Questions
What is WeBall?
A Solana launchpad where each coin rewards its holders with a basket of up to 3 tokens (majors, memes, tokenized stocks, SOL or coins from other launchpads), bought with its trading fees, or sends those fees to its creator instead. Coins launch on Meteora’s bonding curve paired with SOL or another token, such as USDC, a meme or a tokenized stock, and at 60 SOL raised (a set amount of the paired token, for a pair) they graduate to a Meteora pool whose liquidity is locked forever.
Where do rewards come from?
Only from trading fees. Fees arrive in SOL or the paired token, never in your coin, so we never hold or sell your coin. To pay holders we do sell other tokens: SOL (or the paired token) is swapped into the basket, and the platform’s share of a paired token is sold for SOL. So payouts can add selling pressure to the token a coin is paired with, but never to the coin itself.
Holder mode or creator mode?
Picked at launch and fixed forever. In holder mode the creator picks a 1%, 2%, 3% fee, and currently 85% of the fee share (after Meteora’s 20%) is used for holder rewards. In creator mode the fee is 1% and currently half the fee share is sent to the creator, in SOL or the paired token. A holder-mode coin paired with SOL can also add perp backing (below).
What does WeBall keep?
The rest of the fee share: currently 15% in holder mode and 50% in creator mode. Of that, 20% is set aside for the flywheel (buying and burning WeBall coins, half picked by $BALL holders’ votes and half by fees; not running yet), 30% buys and burns $BALL, and 50% runs the platform. Every claim and every use is on the public ledger.
What is the rewards basket?
Up to 3 tokens the creator picks from the ones we allow, each weighted at least 10%. For a coin paired with another token, that token is always first, fixed at 60%, and the creator picks up to two more for the rest. Every token is screened first. Tokens we list by hand need a 5 SOL buy to move the price less than 1% and 30 days of trading; a few long-established tokens are listed over one of those checks, with the reason recorded. Coins from other launchpads (StonkFun, Ember) must have graduated and pass the same safety checks, and our team re-checks them by hand and removes any that fail. Every basket token’s transfer fee is checked automatically each day. If a token can’t be bought in a round, its SOL rolls forward to the next one. The creator can change the basket from My tokens, at most once a day, with 24 hours’ notice: the coin page shows the change as soon as it’s signed, and no round already under way is affected.
What is perp backing?
An option for holder-mode coins, picked at launch as “Holders + Perps”. A share of the holders’ fees (15%, 30% or 50%, by risk preset) funds one leveraged long on a crypto market the creator picks (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and 20 more) on Phoenix, a perps exchange on Solana. The rest of the holders’ share is paid out as usual. When the position takes profit, the banked profit buys the coin’s rewards basket and is paid out in the normal rounds; only profit ever leaves the position. It opens once 0.5 SOL has built up and is topped up every 0.25 SOL, at most hourly, up to a cap of 7 or 10 days of the coin’s holder fees. The coin page shows the live position, its stop and take-profit, and its history; the stats page and the public ledger show every move.
What are the perp risk presets?
Profit and loss are measured on the money in the position, not on price. Steady (2x · 15% of holders’ share · up to 7 days of fees): Leverage 2x. At +20% it banks half of the profit for holders, then the rest if profit falls 25% from its high. Stops out at −25%, then tries again after 24h. Balanced (3x · 30% of holders’ share · up to 10 days of fees): Leverage 3x. At +40% it banks half of the profit for holders, then the rest if profit falls 33% from its high. Stops out at −40%, then tries again after 12h. Degen (5x · 50% of holders’ share · up to 7 days of fees): Leverage 5x, then 4x, then 3x after each loss. At +100% it banks a third of the profit for holders, then the rest if profit falls 50% from its high. Stops out at −50%, then tries again after 6h, then 12h, then 24h. Take-profit is checked every minute. Long only.
What if a perp position loses?
The loss stays in the position. Each coin trades from its own separate Phoenix account, and a stop rests on Phoenix itself, so it fires even if our keeper is down. A stop-out or liquidation can only lose what that coin’s position holds: never the coin, its locked liquidity, holders’ balances, other coins or the platform’s share. After a loss the position waits out its cooldown and opens again with new fees. If Phoenix delists the market, the position closes and what’s left is paid to holders. Perps are risky: a position can lose money for long stretches, and nothing here is a promise of profit.
Can the creator change the perp market or preset?
Yes, from My tokens, at most once every 24 hours, with 24 hours’ notice shown on the coin page as soon as it’s signed. When the notice ends, the position is closed: any profit is banked for holders, any shortfall is booked as a loss, and the position reopens on the new market and preset straight away.
Can rewards change or stop?
Yes. Trading fees are WeBall’s revenue once claimed, and rewards are how we currently choose to use them. They depend on trading that may never happen, and they can be late, skipped, smaller than expected, changed or stopped. They aren’t a return on anything you hold. A reward is yours once it lands in your wallet. The terms have the details.
When do payouts happen?
Once a coin’s pot first reaches 2 SOL. After that a round runs when the pot reaches 0.5 SOL, or a day passes with at least 0.1 SOL in it, and never more often than every hour.
How is my share worked out?
By your balance at the round’s snapshot slot, which is published with every round, but only what you’ve held since the round before (for a coin’s first round, since an hour before). Tokens bought just before a snapshot count from the next round; if you sold some, the lower amount counts. Sell after the snapshot and you still receive that round. Coins in a liquidity pool on the major Solana exchanges (Raydium, Orca, Meteora, Pump.fun and PumpSwap) don’t count, including your own LP position: LPs earn that pool’s trading fees instead. Our keeper wallets are left out too.
Why didn’t I receive anything this round?
Shares under 0.01 SOL carry forward and are added to your next share. They’re sent once they add up to 0.01 SOL.
Do I pay rent for the reward tokens?
No. We pay the rent for your token accounts, so nothing is taken out of your payout for it.
Why did I receive slightly less of a token than expected?
A few tokens charge a transfer fee every time they move, set by their issuer, not by WeBall (at most 3% for tokens we allow). Holders receive what arrives after that fee. A token whose fee goes above 3% is removed from baskets.
What if a basket token is removed?
Tokens are removed only for safety: a rug, an exploit, a liquidity collapse, a depeg or a dangerous change by its issuer. Its weight is shared among the coin’s other basket tokens in proportion (40/30/30 becomes 50/50); if it was the only one, holders are paid in SOL instead. The change is automatic, logged and shown on the coin page.
What if a coin never graduates?
Its holder fees keep going to its holder pot for as long as it trades on the bonding curve. Payouts start once the pot first reaches 2 SOL, so a coin with very little trading may never pay out.
What happens when a coin graduates?
At 60 SOL raised the bonding curve closes and the coin moves to its Meteora pool, where the liquidity is locked forever. Meteora usually moves it within seconds; if it hasn’t after 5 minutes, we move it ourselves and pay the network cost. Trading carries on in the pool, and fees are shared as before.
What does pairing a coin with another token change?
A coin can trade against another listed token (such as USDC, a meme or a tokenized stock) instead of SOL. Its fees arrive in that token, it graduates at a set amount of that token, and that token is fixed as the first basket token at 60%. WeBall sells its own share of that token for SOL. A launch buy is paid in SOL and swapped into the paired token first. The coin’s locked liquidity holds the paired token, so its value moves with that token’s price.
What does “Deepen the pool” do?
It’s an option the creator can tick at launch, for coins paired with SOL for now; it’s off unless they do. After the coin graduates, 10% of the trading fees in its Meteora pool stay in the pool as permanently locked liquidity instead of being paid out, so the pool gets deeper with every trade and bigger trades move the price less. The other 90% is shared exactly as usual. It can’t be changed after launch, and the coin page shows whether a coin has it.
What is launch protection?
Sniper bots try to buy the first tokens of a new coin in its first seconds and sell them to everyone who comes after. So every new coin starts with a 50% trading fee that falls in small steps to its normal rate over its first 10 minutes: sniping costs a lot, waiting a few minutes costs nothing extra. The creator’s own launch buy pays the normal rate. The extra fees are shared like any other fee, and the trade box shows the fee right now and when it settles.
Can the creator buy at launch, and lock it?
Yes. The launch form lets the creator buy up to 10% of supply in the same transaction as the launch, at the curve’s starting price and the coin’s normal fee. That buy can be locked in a Jupiter Lock escrow for 7, 30, 90 or 180 days, released all at once at the end or bit by bit. Locked tokens still count for holder rewards, and the coin page shows the lock.
When and where are creator fees sent?
In creator mode, the creator’s share is sent automatically once it reaches 0.02 SOL, or after a day, whichever comes first, in SOL or the paired token. At launch the creator can split it across up to 5 wallets.
Can I launch a coin by chatting?
Yes: tap “Launch with AI” on the launch page. Dunk asks you a few questions (name, what it trades against, who gets the fees, the fee, the basket, then the optional extras) with buttons for every valid answer, and fills in the details as you go. At the end you check a summary and launch from the chat, approving in your own wallet as usual; or open it on the launch page to change more. The AI is a language model reached through OpenRouter: it sees your messages and the details filled in so far, never your wallet or image, and it can’t launch, sign or spend anything. When the AI is switched off, simple built-in replies take its place.
Where are a coin’s image and details stored?
On mainnet, on Arweave through Irys: permanent public storage, so they can’t be changed or deleted after launch. On test networks they’re served from our own servers.
What can I trade with?
On a coin’s page you can buy or sell with SOL, USDC or the token the coin is paired with. You set your own slippage and approve every trade in your wallet. Trades through our site carry Meteora’s standard referral, paid out of Meteora’s own fee, not yours.
Where can I see payouts?
Every claim, basket buy and payout is on the public ledger with its transaction, and the Rewards page shows what any wallet has received.
What is the health grade?
An A to F grade from warning signs we measure ourselves, all shown on the coin page: how much the top 10 holders own, what the creator holds or sold on day one, what snipers, bundlers and insiders still hold, wash trading, and whether the mint and freeze authorities are revoked. Coins are graded from an hour old with 25 holders. Health grades signal warnings, not safety. Always do your own checks.
What is $BALL?
WeBall’s own token, launched on WeBall on 3 Oct 2026 like any other coin, with no launch buy and no lock. 30% of WeBall’s share of the fees is set aside to buy $BALL, a series of small buys each day, and everything bought is burned; the $BALL page shows the supply, what’s been burned and the burn fund, and every buy and burn is on the public ledger. $BALL’s own trading fees go to the platform like that, not to a creator.
How does vote to burn work?
Wallets holding at least 100,000 $BALL can vote for up to 5 WeBall coins for the flywheel to buy and burn. Each vote is a small transaction from your wallet (network fee only) and stands until you take it back; votes are counted at a recorded slot. Half of each flywheel run follows the votes and half follows the platform fees each coin generated over the last 7 days: the top 10 coins, at most 25% to any one. The flywheel isn’t running yet.
How do referrals work?
Get your link on the Referrals page once you’ve accepted the terms. A wallet that opens it and then accepts the terms for the first time is linked to you for good (the first link it opened counts). You then earn 10% of WeBall’s share of the fees on every trade it makes on any WeBall coin, and on every trade on any coin it launches, paid in SOL once you’re owed 0.02 SOL or daily. It comes out of WeBall’s share only: holders, creators and burns get what they would anyway. Your own trades and coins never earn for you, and the page shows how many wallets you brought, never which ones.
Is there an API?
Yes: a read API and an MCP server for coins, baskets, payouts, holders and $BALL burns. Market data is free within a per-visitor allowance; some detailed data, and use past the allowance, can be paid per request in USDC over x402. The MCP/API page says what’s free, what’s paid right now, and the prices.
Who can use WeBall?
Anyone 18 or over who isn’t in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom or a sanctioned country or region, and isn’t on a sanctions list. Using a VPN to get around this isn’t allowed.
Why does my wallet ask me to sign a message first?
To accept the terms, before your first launch, trade, vote or basket change. It’s a signature, not a transaction: nothing is sent and there’s no fee. We keep the signed message as a record, without your IP address, and ask again only when the terms change.
What does launching cost?
About 0.025 SOL in network rent and fees, plus any launch buy you choose. The launch page works out the exact estimate as you fill it in.
Nothing here is financial advice. A coin can lose all of its value.
