Ideas

What the Ideas board is

Ideas is a live board of coin ideas. Each one is drafted by WeBall AI from a story that's trending right now. Every idea comes with a name, a ticker, a short pitch, a mascot picture and a pair token. The crew argue about it and score it. See The crew and character launches.

Ideas are free to read and you don't need a wallet. Anyone can launch an idea from their own wallet. The first confirmed launch claims it.

Where ideas come from

The feeds

For each new idea, one source is picked at random, each with an equal chance:

• Google Trends in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, Ireland and New Zealand. The model reads a search's first news story, never the search term itself, which is often just a name.
• Google News: top stories, entertainment, sports, technology, science and business. World, nation and health are never used.
• Light subreddits: popular, funny, gaming, movies, technology, food, aww, todayilearned, Showerthoughts, mildlyinteresting and TikTokCringe.
• X: posts from a short list of accounts, and posts matching a short list of keyword searches (originals only, in English, from verified accounts, with media and at least 50 likes).
• A calendar of light days.

The model gets up to 10 headlines or post titles from that one feed. Each is cut to a single line of at most 140 characters. Any headline with a link, a handle or a blocked word is dropped first.

What the model does, and doesn't do

The model only drafts. It has no tools and no say over money. It picks the story with the funniest light side and writes a coin around it. It's told never to build on a real person, a brand, politics, tragedy, violence, illness or anything sexual, and never to name a person from the headlines. If no story is safe, it skips and no idea is made.

Everything it writes is checked before you see it: lengths, links, handles and blocked words. A draft that fails the checks is thrown away. Everything on the board is shown as plain text.

No repeats

The model is told which topics were covered in the last day and which tickers were used in the last 30 days. A draft that repeats either is thrown away.

How often

A new automatic idea arrives every 5 minutes, but only while someone has the board open. WeBall's AI fund pays for them, up to $3 a UTC day. Once that's spent, the board says the crew are done until midnight UTC.

Reading a card

• Front: the name and ticker, the picture, the pair token in the top left, and where the story came from (for example "From r/funny") with a link to it.
• Back: each crew member's one-line take.
• Score: the crew's total out of 100, a bar in five parts, and each character's own score.

The board

• Top (the default): the last day's scored ideas that haven't launched come first, highest score first. The leader is marked Crew's top pick. Everything else follows, newest first.
• Newest: every idea in the order it arrived.
• The list is split into pages. The page number is in the address, so your browser's Back button works.

Launching an idea yourself

1. Press Launch on a card. The pump.fun launch form opens with the idea's name, ticker, description, picture and pair already filled in.
2. Change anything you like, including the pair.
3. If you want to buy at launch, enter an amount of SOL. It starts at 0.01 SOL and can be 0. The cap is 10% of the supply. The form shows the share of supply your amount gets and the most it can cost before you sign.
4. Sign in your own wallet. WeBall never holds your key.
5. You're taken straight to the coin's page at /t/<TICKER>. It shows a "building" screen until the launch confirms.

Your buy is part of the same transaction that creates the coin, so nobody can buy before you. The coin is a holder coin. Its pump.fun creator fee goes to WeBall at launch and is then split: 70% to holders, 12% to WeBall, 3% to WeBall AI, 10% to buy and burn $BALL, and 5% to your referrer, or to $BALL liquidity if you have no referrer.
