From idea to on-chain.
Everything you need to know about launching on Own, where creator fees go, and how $OWN buybacks are planned to work.
Your coin. Your wallet.
Own is a Solana launch interface. Create a coin on Pump.fun, choose a recognizable mint address, and decide how to share your creator earnings. You approve the launch in your own wallet; Own never asks for your seed phrase.
You need a supported Solana wallet and enough SOL for network fees and account creation. An optional initial buy also needs funds in your selected pair token. No OWN holding or staking deposit is required to launch.
Launching a coin
- Build the token profile.
Add an image, name and symbol. Description and social links are optional. Images and token metadata are published to IPFS when you launch; do not include private information.
- Choose the trading pair.
Choose SOL, USDC, a listed custom pair, or search for an eligible Pump.fun coin by name, symbol, or mint address. Pump coins on a bonding curve or migrated to PumpSwap can be used; mayhem coins, nested pairs, and coins awaiting migration are excluded. Eligibility is checked on-chain before selection and again at launch. Images, market cap and liquidity are shown when available. Eligibility is rechecked on-chain at launch; market data is not a guarantee of liquidity. The selected pair is permanent.
- Set optional fees, routing and initial buy.
For supported custom pairs, you can choose a creator trading fee of 0.01–3%, subject to Pump’s current on-chain limits. Leave it blank for Pump’s default. SOL and USDC pairs use the standard rate. An initial buy is entered in the selected pair token; enter 0 for no buy.
- Pick a mint address.
Use a random address, or search for an exact prefix, suffix, or both with separate fields. Time estimates update as you type and adjust to your device’s measured search speed. They are averages, not guarantees or countdowns. Combining both ends can take much longer. The search runs on your device. Matching is case-sensitive; Solana’s Base58 alphabet excludes 0, O, I and l. Longer matches can take much longer, and a vanity address does not make a coin safer.
- Review and approve.
Check the mint, pair, all recipients and wallet fees. Coin creation, the locked creator-fee split and any initial buy are included in the same on-chain transaction. You cannot create the coin through Own while skipping its fee split. Some launches need a separate address-table setup first; the extra wallet approval and SOL funding are shown before you proceed. That setup does not create the coin.
Wait for the confirmed result. If submission is uncertain, check the linked transaction before trying again. A failed transaction may still incur Solana network fees.
Where creator fees go
Every new Pump.fun coin launched through Own uses this split of its creator-fee pool:
- Coin creator
- 80%
- Own treasury
- 20%
Keep it or route part to other wallets.
Half is budgeted for manual OWN buybacks.
This is not a percentage of trading volume or token supply, and it does not replace Pump’s separate protocol fees. The creator trading-fee rate determines the pool; the split determines who receives it.
If a coin generates $100 worth of creator fees, $80 goes to the creator’s allocation and $20 to the treasury. The project plans to use half of that $20 for manual OWN buybacks. Routing 15 percentage points to a charity leaves $65 for the creator and sends $15 to that charity. The treasury’s $20 is unchanged.
Dollar values are illustrative. Fees are received in the actual fee token, not automatically converted to dollars.Optional creator routing
Other recipients are deducted only from your 80%. Verify their public addresses before approving: the split is finalized and locked on-chain. Claiming through another interface does not change the locked recipients.
Older coins keep their original terms
This policy applies to new Own launches. Previously launched coins retain their original fee arrangements; Own does not rewrite locked splits.
Discover and your wallet profile
Discover shows verified launches registered through Own, not every Pump.fun token. Use the available sorting and filters to explore recent creations and market activity. Listings and market data can take time to update; missing data does not mean a balance or value is zero.
Your wallet profile brings together the Own coins you launched, your supported holdings of Own-launched coins, and estimated uncollected creator earnings in their original tokens. Connecting a wallet for this view does not authorize a transfer.
Creator earnings are separate from the project’s buyback allocation. Use the profile’s platform links to manage or distribute fees; a displayed fee balance is not a completed payout. Collection can involve a separate transaction and network fees.
Trading after launch
The launch result includes a Jupiter trade link with your new coin as the input token and SOL as the output, even when the launch pair is not SOL. Jupiter must find a supported route; a new token may not be tradable there immediately. A trade link is not an endorsement.
Funded from the Own treasury.
The treasury receives 20% of each new launch’s creator-fee pool. The project plans to use half of those receipts for manual OWN buybacks, equivalent to 10% of the total creator-fee pool. There is no separate buyback wallet or on-chain buyback split.
Buybacks are managed manually from treasury funds once the official OWN token is available. The launch transaction routes fees to the treasury; it does not enforce how those funds are later spent or automatically purchase or burn tokens.
A treasury receipt alone does not prove a buyback. Completed purchases require on-chain transactions. Timing and amounts are discretionary, and buybacks do not guarantee a higher token price.
$OWN and project wallets
Do not assume a token named OWN is ours. Check its full public contract address against the official address when it is published here.
- Project treasury · 20%
- 8Mga8G9UNTkDL9fuk51aPsVqev5oV6AsSiVtKUPMYoWT
The treasury is a project destination, not a deposit address for staking or an investment. OWN staking was retired before deposits opened: there is no staking pool, staking reward claim or stake-to-launch requirement.
Safety and common questions
Can I launch before OWN and automatic buybacks are live?
Yes. The Pump.fun launcher and its locked fee split are independent of the OWN token. The buyback allocation can accrue while automatic execution remains off.
Why isn’t Stonkfun available?
New Stonkfun launches are coming soon. Its option is disabled. Existing recognized launches keep their original records and fee arrangements.
My wallet approved, but the launch looks stuck. Should I retry?
First inspect the transaction link and mint shown in the launch result. Approval, submission and confirmation are different steps. Do not send another launch while the first outcome is uncertain. If the transaction succeeded but listing failed, retry the listing step rather than creating another coin.
Can I change the fee recipients after launch?
No. Own finalizes and locks the launch’s fee split on-chain. Always check the addresses and percentages before signing. Earlier launches retain whichever policy they originally locked.
Does Own keep my wallet keys?
No creator wallet key or seed phrase is requested. Vanity mint keys are generated in your browser. Never share recovery words, private keys or wallet-approval screenshots containing sensitive information. The project’s own buyback wallet is a separate wallet and is not your connected wallet.
Are listed coins verified investments?
No. Registration verifies that a launch came through Own, not its quality, safety, team or value. Tokens can lose all their value. Blockchain activity and published metadata are public, and transactions generally cannot be reversed.
