Rewards
Holder rewards
How a holder coin's trading fees become rewards, covering the pot, the snapshot slot, payout rounds, basket buys, the minimum payout and how to see your share.
The short version
Trades pay fees. Fees go into the coin's holder pot. When a round runs, WeBall marks a snapshot slot, works out each holder's share, buys the basket and sends it. This page covers holder coins on both pump.fun and Meteora.
1. Fees fill the pot
- WeBall's keeper claims fees hourly.
- The holders' share goes into the coin's holder pot: 70% of the claimed creator fee on pump.fun, 85% of the claimed fee on Meteora. See Holder coins and creator coins.
- The pot fills from the first trade, during the curve and after it.
- Holder fees keep going to holders for as long as the coin trades, whether or not it graduates.
2. The first unlock
A coin's first round waits until its pot first reaches 2 SOL. Before that, the coin page shows a progress bar. Once unlocked, a coin stays unlocked.
3. When a round runs
After the first unlock, a round runs when either:
- the pot reaches 0.5 SOL, or
- 24 hours pass with at least 0.1 SOL in the pot.
A coin pays at most once an hour. For a coin paired with a token, these amounts are measured in SOL at the pair's price.
4. The snapshot slot
Each round records a snapshot slot on chain and shows it publicly. Your share is by your balance at that slot.
- Sell after the snapshot and you are still paid for that round.
- Buy after it and you wait for the next round.
The holding rule
You count at the smaller of two balances: at the snapshot, and at the round's baseline. The baseline is the previous round's snapshot. For a coin's first round, it's a view at least an hour old.
- Coins bought just before a snapshot count from the next round, once held through one.
- If you sold some, the lower amount counts.
Who isn't counted
- The bonding curve and pool accounts.
- The locked liquidity.
- WeBall's own wallets and burn addresses.
- Coins in any liquidity pool on Raydium, Orca, Meteora, pump.fun or PumpSwap, including your own LP position. LPs earn that pool's fees instead.
5. The basket is bought
Basket tokens are bought at payout time, once per round, for exactly what that round pays.
- Each token gets its share by the coin's weights.
- A SOL part is sent as SOL. On a pump.fun coin paid in the pair, the pair is sent as it arrived.
- Every swap has a slippage cap.
- A failed swap is tried up to three times in all, with a fresh quote each time.
- A token with no route, or one that keeps failing, is skipped for that round. Its share rolls forward to the next round and isn't moved to the other tokens. The skip is shown on the coin's round record.
6. You are paid
- Shares are pro rata to the balances counted above.
- The minimum payout is 0.01 SOL. A smaller share carries forward and is added to your next one, until it reaches 0.01 SOL.
- WeBall pays the network fees and your token-account rent. Nothing is taken from your share for them.
- A few tokens charge their own transfer fee, set by their issuer. You receive what arrives after it. Tokens we allow charge at most 3%.
If a basket token is removed
Tokens are removed only for safety: a rug, an exploit, a liquidity collapse, a depeg or a dangerous issuer change. Its weight is shared among the coin's other tokens in proportion, so 40/30/30 minus the 40 becomes 50/50. If it was the only token, holders are paid in SOL. The change is automatic, logged and shown on the coin page.
How to see your share
- On a coin's page, the holders panel estimates each wallet's share of the current pot.
- The Holder Rewards page shows every round and what any wallet has received. Paste a wallet address to check it.
- Every claim, basket buy and payout is an on-chain Solana transaction anyone can check.
