How it works

Every coin is a creature: the pool, the catch and the claim, in one field guide.

Catchpad launches pump.fun coins with a marketing pot. The pot buys the coin into a drop pool that only pays players. Every coin becomes a creature on one shared island; a player who catches it gets a drop of that coin.

For devs

Launch with a picture, a name, a ticker and a pot of 0.1 to 2 SOL. One transaction creates the coin on pump.fun and buys it into the pool with the pot (3 % of the pot goes to the pad).
Your logo hatches into a creature on the island. Every catch puts it in front of a player with an X account 30 days or older.
You set the drop per catch (at most 1/50 of the pool). Raising it is instant; a lower drop waits 24 hours, and catches made before that still pay the old drop.
You set the daily cap: 1 % to 50 % of the pool per day (10 % by default). It applies from the next day.
The creator fee of your coin is collected by the pad: 60 % buys the coin back into the pool, 30 % to the pad, 10 % to you. The pool keeps filling while the coin trades.
You can never withdraw the pool or the pot. They only leave to players. That is what makes the pot a marketing spend and not a bag.

For players

Free to play in the browser and on the phone. Log in with X, sign once with your wallet to link it.
Catch: walk up to a creature, tap Catch, then tap when the needle is on the sun. One hit for common and uncommon, two in a row for rare and epic, three for legendary. Rarer creatures move faster and the arc is narrower.
Drops: up to 20 drops a day per X account and per wallet. Catches beyond that, or when a pool rests, still go to your field guide.
Claim on My catches. The server signs a voucher for what you earned; you send the claim and pay the network fee (the first claim of a coin also opens its token account, about 0.002 SOL).

Trust

The pool belongs to the coin's own account on the program, not to the dev and not to the pad. The only way out is a player's claim.
Every claim is checked on chain: the server's signature (Ed25519) over the wallet, the amount, the number of catches, the day and an expiry of at most one hour; a bitmap per coin and day stops any voucher from paying twice.
The daily cap is on chain: even a stolen server key cannot take more than the day's cap of each coin, and the guardian can revoke that key at once.
Pool buys are guarded: the keeper buys in chunks against a median of recent prices, one buy per coin per block, so nobody can sandwich them.
Program catCf..., audited before launch (no critical findings; every high and low fixed).

Limits

Aged X accounts can be bought. A coin's pool is a marketing spend that farmers can also take, at most the day's cap per day.
The game server times every catch; your drop is counted by the pad's service and paid when you claim.
Unclaimed catches are kept for 30 days.
