The mechanism, in detail.

Fee source

Stonked coins are standard Stonk launches on Raydium LaunchLab: no transfer tax. Traders pay 1.25% on the curve: 0.25% to Raydium and 1% to Stonk's platform. After graduation to Raydium CPMM, trades pay 0.25% to LPs plus a 1% creator fee collected by Stonk.

In both phases Stonk forwards the creator's share (measured at about 48–50% of the 1%) to the pool's creator account. On Stonked, that account is a distributor wallet unique to each coin. For SOL pairs, fees arrive as wrapped SOL; we unwrap and pay native SOL.

Ranking (TWAB)

For each wallet w, the time-weighted average balance over the window [t−60m, t] is the integral of its balance over time, divided by the window length. Balances are summed across all of a wallet's token accounts (Token-2022).

Wallets with a non-zero balance for less than 30 minutes of the window are ineligible. The top 10 eligible wallets by TWAB make the board. With prorata split, wallet i receives pot × TWAB_i / ΣTWAB_top10, rounded down, so the total never exceeds the pot. Dust from rounding rolls into the next pot.

Exclusions

Never ranked: the coin's LaunchLab and CPMM vaults; any off-curve owner (PDAs and program accounts); all Stonked distributor, collection, treasury and vault wallets; Stonk's platform wallet 5CEbue…SPAG (fee forwarding, buybacks and burns) and reward authority; Raydium's migrator and fee wallets; burn addresses; and a configurable denylist of exchange wallets.

Payout cadence

Every 5 minutes, each pot is priced. It pays out when the estimated sending cost (signatures, priority fee, unwrap) is at most 1% of the pot. The cost is taken from the pot, so payouts are always efficient and never run at a loss. A SOL-paired pot needs only about $0.60.

A recipient without a token account for the payout token (non-SOL pairs) pays its creation rent out of its own share. If the share is smaller than the rent, it rolls over to the next payout.

Each distribution is written as planned before it is sent and keyed by coin and window, so a crash can never pay twice.

Fee split

Of each pot: 65% to the top 10, 10% to the launcher, and 25% to the platform. The platform share is pooled, converted to SOL, and split 10% to the $STONKED board, 10% to $STONKED buybacks (held in a public vault) and 5% to operations.

Custody

Each coin's distributor is derived from a master seed that only our payout worker can load; the website never has it. Pots are segregated per coin on-chain, and every transfer is rate-limited, capped, and recorded. A later version replaces these wallets with an on-chain program that verifies each payout.
