How YAP works

Every token on YAP is a real Pump.fun token with its normal bonding curve. YAP adds two things on top: a one step launch flow, and an automated system that turns a token's creator fees into rewards for the holders who promote it on X, the yappers.

The loop is simple: launch a token, people hold it and post about it, those posts are tracked and scored through the X API, and the creator fees the token earns are split among the yappers on the schedule the creator chooses.

Launching deploys a brand new token onto Pump.fun through pump.fun's own program (the same create_v2 instruction its site uses). There is no code and no wallet to connect.

1. 1Fill in the token details, name, ticker, description, and a logo (plus optional banner and socials).
2. 2Choose how often yappers get paid (see Payout schedule below).
3. 3YAP generates a fresh Solana wallet for the launch and shows you a deposit address.
4. 4Fund it with a one time 0.05 SOL fee. The moment it arrives, the launch unlocks.
5. 5YAP deploys the token to Pump.fun and hands you the mint address, a Pump.fun link, and a live token page.

At launch, the creator decides how often creator fees are claimed and paid out to yappers. Faster cadences keep yappers engaged; slower ones batch larger payouts.

The chosen cadence is shown on the token page. Behind the scenes the distribution engine checks every token frequently, but a given token only pays out once its own interval has elapsed since its last round.

Anyone holding the token can join its leaderboard and start earning a share of creator fees for promoting it — no login, no wallet connection.

1. 1Open the token page and hit Join Leaderboard.
2. 2Paste the Solana wallet that holds the token — this is where rewards are paid.
3. 3Tweet about the token, including its contract address (CA) and the one-time code shown.
4. 4Hit verify. YAP finds your tweet, links your X handle to your wallet, and counts that tweet as your first scored post — every post after is tracked and scored too.

Every tracked post earns points from a base value plus weighted engagement and content bonuses. Those post scores roll up into your leaderboard score, which is then adjusted by who you are and how much you hold. Score is what decides your cut of the fees.

Verified accounts score more. An X verified yapper gets a 1.25× boost over an otherwise identical account.

Holding more raises your score. Your balance applies a multiplier of up to 2×, so committed holders out-score drive-by posters.

Copy paste backfires. Posting the same wording over and over applies a penalty multiplier that lowers your whole score for 24 hours. Fresh, varied posts are worth far more.

Pump.fun pays creator fees on every trade of the token. Each round, YAP claims those fees from the token's creator wallet and splits them:

1. 1Creator fees are claimed from the token's creator wallet.
2. 2A small platform cut (10%) goes to the treasury to run YAP.
3. 3The rest is the pool, split among everyone on the leaderboard pro-rata by score.
4. 4Payouts go straight to each yapper's wallet. Cumulative earnings are tracked per wallet.

Everyone with a score gets paid, there are no tiers or cutoffs. Your share is simply your score divided by the total score of everyone on the board, so the more score you have, the bigger your cut.

Rewards only matter if bots can't farm them, so every yapper is continuously assessed for bot-like behaviour.

1. 1A bot filter watches for copy paste posting, mass posting, fake engagement, and fresh throwaway accounts.
2. 2Risk builds warnings: one warning cuts score 25%, two cuts it 50%, three disqualifies the account.
3. 3Every flag is logged, and duplicate/low-quality posts are already discounted at the scoring stage.

The result is that genuine promotion from real holders consistently out-earns spam.

Each token page shows live market data, market cap, price, 24h change, volume, holders, and bonding-curve progress toward graduation, aggregated from Birdeye, DexScreener, and Helius.

The bonding curve fills as the token trades; at 100% it graduates from Pump.fun to the open market, exactly like any other Pump.fun token.
