How YAP works

YAP is a launchpad that sits on top of pump.fun. Coins launched here are ordinary pump.fun coins: same curve, same graduation, same place on GMGN, Axiom and DexScreener. YAP changes one thing, where the creator fee goes.

The split

pump.fun pays a creator fee on every trade. On YAP that fee is divided three ways, using pump.fun's own fee-sharing program: a share to the posting pool (50–90%, chosen by the dev at launch, default 70%), 10% to YAP, and the rest to the dev. The program allows the split to be set exactly once. After launch nobody can change it, not the dev and not YAP. The lock is a public transaction you can check on Solscan from every coin page.

Posting

Link the X account you post from on the Earn page, hold the coin, post about it on X mentioning its ticker or mint, and paste the link on the coin's page. One post per coin per hour counts toward the payout. You can post about as many coins as you like.

Scoring

At the top of every hour, each submitted post gets a score: real impressions read from X, multiplied by a content quality factor between 0.2 and 2, multiplied by a holding factor based on how much of the coin you hold and for how long, multiplied by a bonus of up to 1.5× for holding $YAP. The hour's pool is divided in proportion to score and sent as SOL to each wallet. There is nothing to claim. Selling the coin before the payout voids that hour.

Quality is judged on whether the post would make a stranger stop: original takes, humor, research and story score high; copied threads, bare tickers, reply spam and generated filler score low. Near-duplicates of an earlier post score zero.

What does not count

X accounts younger than 90 days or without real activity. Posts from an X account linked to a different wallet. Rings of alternate accounts posting the same thing, detected by wallet and account clustering. More than one post per coin per hour. Posts submitted after the hour closes count for the next hour.

$YAP

$YAP is the platform token, launched on pump.fun through YAP itself with the same locked split, and nothing reserved for the team. YAP's 10% of every coin's creator fee buys $YAP on the market and burns it, every hour, in public transactions listed on the home page. Holding $YAP raises your posting score, up to 1.5×, and unlocks tools for devs.

For devs

Launching costs the same as on pump.fun. You pick the poster share. A higher share means more people with a reason to talk about your coin every hour it trades; your own share arrives every hour as fees are swept, without selling supply. Your coin is yours: YAP never holds the mint authority, the curve or the pool.

Risks

Coins are speculative and most go to zero. Payout amounts depend entirely on trading volume. X can change what data it exposes. YAP's scoring is run by YAP; the on-chain split is not. Settlement transactions are public and anyone can verify that the pool wallet pays out what it receives.
