How it works

Launching a token

Post on X, tag @UseTagpad and include a ticker. Any of these work:

• Ticker: 1–10 letters or numbers.
• Name: any other text in the post, up to 32 characters. Use quotes to keep it exactly as written. If there's no name, the ticker is used.
• Logo: the image attached to your post. If there isn't one, the image from the post you're replying to, and failing that the Tagpad logo.

Launching is free because Tagpad pays the network and rent costs. Every token is created on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve with an address ending in tag. The bot replies with the contract address and a link to the token's page. A ticker isn't exclusive, so the address in the reply is how you identify your token.

Pairs

Tokens trade against SOL by default. To use a different quote token, add paired with:

Supported pairs are the quote tokens Meteora can graduate automatically. TBD: final pair list If a pair isn't supported, the bot replies to say so and nothing launches. Creator fees on a paired token are paid in the pair token.

The curve

Every Tagpad token starts on the same Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve config, so every launch gets the same supply, starting price and fee settings. Buys move the price up the curve and sells move it back down.

For the first moments after a launch, an anti-sniper fee starts high and drops to the normal fee over a short window. This makes it expensive for bots to buy the whole launch in the first block. TBD: fee schedule

Graduation

When the curve reaches its migration threshold TBD: e.g. SOL amount, the token graduates. Its liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool and the token trades there as normal.

The liquidity is locked when it migrates. The creator's share of that position keeps earning LP fees after graduation, so creators keep getting paid instead of earning nothing once the curve fills.

Trading

Tagpad tokens trade on Meteora and through aggregators such as Jupiter. Cashtag trading apps on X, such as FOMO, let people trade straight from the timeline. Tickers can be shared by more than one token, so use the contract address to make sure you have the right one. Every token page links to a chart and places to trade.

Fees

Every trade pays a 1.5% fee, both on the bonding curve and after graduation. Meteora keeps 20% of it, which is 0.30% of the trade. All of the remaining 1.20% goes to the token's creator side. Tagpad takes no cut of your token's fees.

Tagpad collects the fees every few minutes and credits each person their share. Tokens paired with another token pay fees in that token.

Rewarding others

The creator side is your 100%, and you can share it. Add reward to your launch post and tag up to 3 people, each with a percentage. You keep whatever isn't given away.

• Who can be rewarded: any X account (by @handle) or any Solana address. Rewards sent to a Solana address are paid straight to that address.
• Percentages must add up to 100% or less. If they don't, or a handle doesn't exist, the bot replies with the reason and nothing launches.
• Locked at launch: nobody can change the split afterwards, including you. That's why rewarded people can trust it.
• Linked to the account, not the name: a tagged handle is saved as that X account's permanent ID when the token launches, so it still pays if they change their handle.
• No sign-up needed: rewards build up for tagged people even if they've never used Tagpad, and they wait for as long as it takes.

Example: on 0.012 SOL of creator-side fees with reward @alice 50%, Alice gets 0.006 SOL and you get 0.006 SOL.

Fees to holders

You can send your own share to the token's holders instead of keeping it. People you rewarded always keep their share. Holder fees are airdropped in proportion to how much of the token each wallet holds, once enough has built up or at least once a day. Each drop pays the largest holders above a minimum balance. Liquidity pools and program accounts are never paid.

You can switch between holders and yourself at any time from the token's page. Fees count toward whichever setting was on when they were earned, so switching never takes back what you'd already earned.

Claiming

Sign in with X to see everything you've earned, from launches you made and tokens that rewarded you. Then enter any Solana address to claim to. You don't need to connect a wallet. Withdraw whenever you want (minimum 0.01 SOL), or set automatic payouts once your balance passes a threshold you choose. Tagpad pays the network fee.

Your balance is linked to your X account's permanent ID, so changing your handle doesn't affect it. Unclaimed rewards never expire.

Limits

• Your X account needs at least 25 followers and to be at least 14 days old.
• Each account can launch one token every 30 minutes.
• Each ticker can be launched once every 24 hours.

If a post can't launch yet, it waits in a queue instead of being dropped.
