FAQ

The basics

What is WeBall?

A Solana launchpad where each coin's trading fees are used to reward its holders. Coins launch on pump.fun, paired with SOL or a token pump.fun lists, where 70% of each coin's creator fee is currently paid to its holders, in the pair or in a basket of up to 3 tokens. Coins can also launch on Meteora's bonding curve: at 60 SOL raised 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 WeBall never holds or sells your coin to pay rewards. To pay a basket, WeBall swaps the fees into the basket tokens.

Can rewards change or stop?

Yes. Trading fees are WeBall's revenue once claimed. Rewards are how WeBall currently chooses to use them. They depend on trading that may never happen. They can be late, skipped, smaller than expected, changed or stopped. A reward is yours once it lands in your wallet. See Risk disclosures.

Launching

How are a pump.fun coin's fees split?

pump.fun charges its own fee on every trade, plus a creator fee (0.30% of each trade when WeBall checked). The creator fee is locked to WeBall at launch. It is currently used as follows: 70% to holders, 12% to WeBall, 3% to WeBall AI, 10% to buy and burn $BALL, and 5% to whoever referred the creator. A partner referrer gets 7.5%, taken from WeBall's share. With no referrer, the 5% goes to $BALL's liquidity. There are no creator fees on pump.fun coins. See Fees.

What does launching cost?

Network rent and fees, plus any launch buy you choose. That is about 0.021 SOL for a Meteora coin (about 0.011 SOL with hooks), and about 0.0113 SOL for a pump.fun coin paired with SOL with no buy. For a limited time WeBall may pay those costs for you, within daily limits; your first buy is always yours. The launch page shows the exact estimate as you fill it in.

Can the creator buy at launch?

Yes, up to 10% of supply, in the same step as the launch. On pump.fun the creator can also send part of that buy to up to 24 other wallets. Those wallets are shown on the coin page as launch distribution, and the health grade counts them as insiders. On Meteora the buy can be locked in Jupiter Lock for 7, 30, 90 or 180 days.

What are hooks?

Rules built into a coin itself. A coin with hooks is a Token-2022 token whose every transfer runs through WeBall's hook program, which checks that coin's rules. The creator picks them at launch and they never change after. Coins with hooks launch on Meteora. See Launching on Meteora and the hooks page.

What is launch protection?

Every new Meteora coin starts with a 50% trading fee. The fee falls in steps to the coin's normal rate over its first 10 minutes, so sniping is expensive. The creator's own launch buy pays the normal rate. pump.fun coins don't have it.

Can I launch by chatting?

Yes. Tap "Launch with AI" on the launch page. Dunk asks a few questions and fills in the details. You check a summary and approve the launch in your own wallet. The AI can't launch, sign or spend anything.

Does WeBall launch coins itself?

Yes, in one case. When the crew scores an idea 70 or more, the leading character launches it from its own WeBall wallet, at most 5 a day. See The crew and character launches.

Holder rewards

What is the rewards basket?

1 to 3 tokens the creator picks from WeBall's allowed list. Each must be weighted at least 10%, and the weights must total exactly 100%. Every token is screened first. If a token can't be bought in a round, its SOL rolls forward to the next one. On pump.fun coins, holders can be paid in the pair instead.

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 when a day passes with at least 0.1 SOL in it. Rounds are never more often than every hour.

How is my share worked out?

By your balance at the round's snapshot slot, which is published every round. Only what you've held since the round before counts (for a coin's first round, since an hour before). Coins in liquidity pools don't count, and neither do WeBall's own wallets.

Why didn't I receive anything this round?

Shares under 0.01 SOL carry forward. They are added to your next share and sent once they add up to 0.01 SOL.

Do I pay rent for reward tokens?

No. WeBall pays the rent for your token accounts.

Where can I see payouts?

On Holder Rewards, which shows every round and has a lookup for any wallet. Every claim, buy and payout is an on-chain transaction.

Trading

What can I trade with?

On a Meteora coin's page, you can buy or sell with SOL, USDC or the coin's pair. pump.fun coins and other Solana tokens trade through Jupiter, with a 0.5% WeBall fee. Slippage there is capped at 5% and price impact at 15%. You approve every trade in your wallet. See Trading.

What is the health grade?

An A to F grade built from warning signs WeBall measures and shows on the coin page. These include top-holder concentration, the creator's holdings, snipers, bundlers and insiders, and mint and freeze authorities. A grade flags warnings. It never means a coin is safe. See Health grade.

$BALL, points and referrals

What is $BALL?

WeBall's own token, launched on WeBall on 3 Oct 2026 with no launch buy and no lock. Part of the fees buys $BALL in a series of small buys each day, and everything bought is burned. The $BALL page shows the supply and what's been burned. See $BALL.

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. You then earn 5% of the creator fee on every pump.fun coin it launches (7.5% for a partner), plus 10% of WeBall's share of the fees on its Meteora activity. Your own trades and coins never earn for you.

What are points?

Your points page counts the value you've brought WeBall or been paid by it, such as trades, rewards received and referrals. See Points, holding bonus and referrals.

Your wallet

Why does my wallet ask me to sign a message first?

To accept the terms, before your first launch, trade or basket change. It's a signature, not a transaction: nothing is sent and there's no fee.

Which wallets work?

Phantom, Solflare, Backpack and any Wallet Standard wallet. Email, social and embedded wallets aren't offered. See Getting started.

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.

Is there an API?

Yes: a read API, an MCP server, webhooks and launching from code. Most data is free within a per-visitor allowance, and some is paid per call over x402. See Developers.
