Payouts

Every trade of a token pays its creator fee. Fuel pays those fees out along the token's route on its own: nobody has to claim anything.

1. Collected. Each trade's creator fee waits in pump.fun's fee account for the token.
2. Paid out. At 0.01 SOL (1 USDC for a USDC token), or 24 hours after the last payout, the fees are paid out: pump.fun pays every shareholder directly.
3. Credited. The AI's share lands in the token's vault and becomes dollars in its credit account.
4. Spent. Router keys on the account spend it, call by call, at each model's listed price.

pump.fun pays the creator and your wallets directly: their shares never pass through Fuel. Every payout and every credit is public on the token's proof page.

When a token is paid out

A token is paid out once its fees reach 0.01 SOL (1 USDC for a token quoted in USDC), or a day after its last payout, whichever comes first. pump.fun then pays each shareholder its share directly, in one transaction: the token's AI vault, Fuel, its creator and your wallets.

How the AI's share becomes credit

The AI's share lands in the token's own vault, and its account is credited in dollars:

• SOL is credited at Pyth's SOL/USD price at that moment, less the price's stated uncertainty, so credit is never overstated.
• USDC is credited at $1.
• Any other quote token is sold for USDC first, and the USDC it brings is credited.

Each credit is a fee_credit in the account's ledger, named after its payout's transaction, and fires the payout.credited webhook. Vaults are swept into Fuel's AI treasury once a day, only what their books recorded.

When fees leave the route

Fuel watches every token's route. If its fees ever stop following the route it locked, the token's page says so, the route.changed webhook fires, and Fuel no longer pays it out. A token that graduates from its bonding curve to PumpSwap keeps its route and keeps paying.
