How Paydirt works

Creating a coin on Paydirt takes about a minute. Pick a name, a ticker, a description and an image, and your token goes live on a bonding curve, ready to trade.

Paydirt is OG only coins. Our Anti-Vamp feature makes every name and ticker one of one, forever, case-insensitive and enforced by the contract itself. Once someone takes MOON, nobody else ever launches MOON, or moon, or MoOn. No copycats, no knockoffs, no vampire clones riding your idea. If you have the name, the only way to own it is to be first.

And everything you launch with is permanent. Name, ticker, description, image, locked the moment you go live and never editable by anyone, including you.

Every new token starts on a bonding curve priced in ETH. The curve uses constant product pricing, the same math behind the big AMMs: the price is set by a formula, not an order book, and it rises as people buy and falls as people sell. Buy early and cheap, or buy late and pay up. The curve does not care, it just does the math.

Each trade carries a 1.25% fee, which gets split between the creator, the protocol, referrals and the prize pools (more on that below). You can sell back to the curve any time before the token bonds. No lockups, no permission needed, just you and the formula.

When a token hits 70% of bond progress, the crown drops and a single 2 minute pot timer starts ticking. Every buy of 0.01 ETH or more resets it, so as long as buys keep coming, it keeps rewinding. That timer has exactly one job: deciding who wins the pot. It never pauses trading and it never bonds the token.

Bonding is simpler than that. The moment the curve hits 100%, the token bonds instantly, inside that very buy. No waiting state, no countdown, no gap. One second you are the buy that fills the curve, the next second the token is live on Uniswap.

Then there is the last-buy pot, an ETH prize worth 10% of the token's curve fees, and it fires exactly once per token:

• ◆If the pot timer runs out before the token bonds, the pot pays the last qualifying buyer and trading just keeps going. One well timed buy and the pot is yours.
• ◆If the curve fills before the timer ever ran out, the pot pays a random holder with at least 0.1% of supply at the moment of bonding. Sometimes you win just by holding.

Bonding is graduation day, and it happens at exactly 100%, in the same transaction as the buy that fills the curve. The liquidity migrates automatically to a Uniswap V3 pool that opens at the exact final curve price. No gap, no dip, no sketchy handoff. The last price on the curve is, to the wei, the first price on Uniswap.

From that moment the token is a standard ERC20 with no tax and no tricks, tradable on Uniswap like anything else. The curve's job is done, and the token walks out into the wider world on its own two feet.

Every trade on the curve pays a 1.25% fee, and every slice of that fee has a job. The full split is in the list below.

Collecting is a community sport. Anyone can press the Claim fees button on a token page. The caller pays the gas, and everything that has accrued distributes automatically in ETH to its destinations, no middleman and no discretion. And when Uniswap fees are claimed, the token side is burned forever, so every claim makes the supply a little scarcer.

• ◆30% to the creator, if they bought at least 1% of supply at launch and still hold it. Skip the launch buy or drop below 1% even once and creator fees are forfeited for good, left waiting for a community takeover.
• ◆30% to the protocol, which keeps the lights on.
• ◆10% to the referrer who brought the trader in.
• ◆10% to the creation prize pool, until 15 August 2026.
• ◆10% to the Motherload.
• ◆10% to the token's last-buy pot.

Somewhere under all this dirt sits the Motherload: a rolling ETH pot fed by 10% of every curve fee on Paydirt. Any buy of 0.01 ETH or more can win it. Every one of those buys gets its own instant 1 in 100,000 shot at the entire pot, drawn the moment the buy lands. Ten buys, ten shots. No ticket, no entry form. Buying is the entry.

The draw is provably fair and happens entirely on-chain, so anyone can verify it. When someone hits the Motherload, the pot pays out in full, in ETH, and immediately starts rebuilding from the very next fee.

Set a unique handle, share your link, and everyone who arrives through it is bound to you on-chain, first touch, forever. The binding can never be changed after the fact. Handles are permanent too: one per wallet, never changed, never freed.

From then on you earn 10% of your referrals' bonding curve fees, in ETH, for as long as they trade on curves, and they get 10% cashback on their own curve fees, so bringing friends pays both ways. Referral earnings come from curve fees only, nothing from Uniswap trading after a token bonds. Everything you and your referrals earn is claimable from the profile page.

Referrers can also post alpha for their referrals, and referrals unlock it with at least 0.05 ETH of curve volume in the current month.

Creating a coin is free, and every coin created before 15 August 2026 is an entry in the creation prize. Until that date, 10% of every fee on the platform accrues into one prize pool in ETH.

When the window closes, one coin created before the deadline is drawn provably fair on chain, and that coin's creator collects the entire pool. One coin, one entry, one winner. The only way in is to launch something.
