How BuyBacks works

BuyBacks is a fee bridge with a BuyBacks engine on Solana. Launch or register a pump.fun token, point 100% of creator fees at the BuyBacks treasury, name an X handle, and the rest is mechanical: 80% pays that handle through 𝕏 Money, and 20% buys back that token. Nobody has to sign up to be paid.

1 Overview

A deployer creates on pump.fun (from BuyBacks Launch, Walletless, or elsewhere) and directs creator fees to the BuyBacks treasury. The token description names an X account β€” that account is who the fees are for.

Everything between is mechanical. Fees accrue as the token trades, BuyBacks claims them, 80% converts to dollars via 𝕏 Money, and 20% buys the launched token on the open market. Every step is recorded against the claim that produced it.

  1. A token directs 100% of fees to BuyBacks permanently.
  2. The description names a handle with the fee tag.
  3. Launch or Register records the mint with BuyBacks.
  4. Fees are claimed on a schedule and ledgered by signature.
  5. Recipient is paid; protocol cut buys back that token.

2 Supported venues

pump.fun β€” Solana. Live. Create from BuyBacks or register an existing mint. Fees directed via pump.fun fee sharing at 100% to the BuyBacks treasury, then authority revoked.

pons.family β€” Robinhood Chain. Coming soon. Fees directed at creation as the fee wallet.

3 Launching a token

On /launch you can:

  • Launch β€” connect Phantom / Solflare / Backpack. BuyBacks publishes metadata, creates a real pump.fun mint, pays the protocol launch fee, and sets fee sharing to 100% BuyBacks.
  • Walletless β€” create on pump.fun yourself with our fee line and treasury address, then paste the mint to register. No wallet on this site.
  • Register β€” already launched? Point fees at BuyBacks (optionally from the creator wallet on-site) and save the mint.

Launch uses mainnet Solana. You pay network fees plus the protocol launch fee shown on the Launch page (default 0.05 SOL) to the treasury configured in adm1n.

4 Directing fees

BuyBacks must be the token's fee recipient at 100%, permanently. Partial shares are rejected so published payouts always match what the token earned.

On pump.fun: after create, open fee sharing, set BuyBacks treasury to 100%, then revoke authority. Wallet Launch attempts this automatically; Walletless and manual creates do it in the pump.fun UI.

5 Naming the recipient

Put this line in the token description:

Fees to @yourhandle via BuyBacks

The recipient does not need to agree, know in advance, or hold a wallet. Receiving a payment does not make them a customer of BuyBacks or a promoter of the token.

6 The 80/20 split

To the recipient
80%
Paid in dollars through 𝕏 Money
Protocol cut
20%
Spent buying back that token

No discretion, no schedule to negotiate, no tier that changes it. BuyBacks adds no extra fees beyond the 20% cut.

7 Capital flow

See the animated path on Capital Flow: pump.fun trades β†’ fees claimed β†’ 80% 𝕏 Money β†’ X recipient, and 20% open-market buy of the same mint.

8 How claims work

Fees accrue as the token trades and sit until claimed on a schedule β€” claiming per trade would spend more in network fees than it collected on quiet tokens.

Each claim is keyed on its transaction signature. Recipient share and BuyBacks cut are computed at that moment and never recalculated.

Payout milestones

Payouts land at $5, then $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, and every $1,000 after. Each crossing sends the full balance.

9 Getting your fees

  1. A token names your handle.
  2. Fees accrue and are claimed.
  3. 80% is paid to you through 𝕏 Money.
  4. A public reply from @BuyBacks confirms it.

Money you receive may be taxable. Nothing on this site is tax advice.

10 𝕏 Money setup

Payments settle into 𝕏 Money. BuyBacks cannot open an account for you. 𝕏 Money access follows X's own eligibility rules.

11 Unclaimed payments

If a handle has no 𝕏 Money yet, the payment arrives as claimable under X's window (usually 14 days). Expired payments return and are recycled into BuyBacks of the originating tokens.

12 The public confirmation

Every payout is announced. @BuyBacks replies with the amount and the token it came from so the recipient and their audience can verify it.

13 Live markets

Home and Explore pull live Solana market data (MC, 24h volume, price change) from DexScreener. That is discovery only β€” it is not BuyBacks payout history.

Payment cards and analytics prefer the settled claim ledger. Until fees are claimed on-chain, Dex-based estimates may still appear.

14 The treasury

Fees are claimed on Solana into the BuyBacks treasury wallet (set in adm1n). Payouts settle in dollars through 𝕏 Money from a pre-funded float. BuyBacks execute on Solana against each launched mint.

15 Token BuyBacks

The protocol cut buys the launched token on the open market β€” same market as everyone else, at the price available when it buys. No special route. No discount. Swaps are on chain and checkable.

That is the core difference from protocol-token BuyBacks: volume in a coin creates buy pressure in that coin β€” not in a separate BuyBacks token.

16 Stopping payments

Turn off incoming payments in 𝕏 Money, or ask @BuyBacks directly. Removal is honored within 7 days: handle off the site, do-not-pay list, stop claiming tokens that name it.

17 If a token is not registering

  • Not the whole fee β€” must be 100%.
  • Not yet permanent β€” authority not revoked on pump.fun.
  • Wrong treasury address.
  • No handle in the description.
  • Too recent β€” indexer hasn't seen it yet.
