How Pill works
Pill is a launchpad built on top of pump.fun. Trading, the bonding curve and graduation work exactly as on pump.fun. What changes is how a coin is born: one coin per idea, created from one developer wallet at a random second, every coin paired with PILL, and every fee paid to the people who bring in buyers.
One idea becomes one coin
On pump.fun the same idea launches hundreds of times in one hour, and the volume is split between copies that look alike. On Pill the board compares every new launch with every coin launched in the last 30 minutes: the ticker after normalisation (case, spacing, lookalike characters and leetspeak), the name without fillers like official or v2, the picture by perceptual hash so resized and recoloured copies are caught, and the idea itself, read by a model that decides whether two coins are about the same subject.
A match does not fail. It opens the existing coin with a buy button, and the person who tried gets a referral link to it. Anyone can get a referral link for any coin: open the coin, sign in and copy your link. A coin holds its ticker, name, picture and idea for the first 30 minutes after it launches, the minutes that decide whether a coin takes off. After that the idea is open again and anyone can launch it.
Nobody gets block zero
Every coin on Pill is created by the same developer wallet, the Pill wallet. You do not sign a create transaction, and the mint address does not exist until the moment it is created. That moment is random: one to five seconds after your SOL lands on the deposit address. Nobody, including Pill, knows the second in advance, so there is nothing for a bundler to attach to.
You pay a launch fee of 0.02 SOL into a deposit address made for your launch, with one press in your wallet or by sending it yourself. It covers the rent and the transaction fees of the create, and Pill keeps nothing of it. The wallet that pays owns the coin. The only buy in block zero is your own dev buy, if you want one: add up to 1 SOL on top, the create and the buy go out in the same transaction, and the tokens are transferred to the wallet that paid right after. Pay from your own wallet, never from an exchange. An address that receives nothing within 30 minutes closes, and the idea is free again.
- Launch fee: 0.02 SOL, paid by the creator, covers rent and fees.
- Dev buy: 0, 0.1, 0.25, 0.5 or 1 SOL, paid by the creator on top.
- Create: from the Pill developer wallet, one transaction, random second.
- Tokens: sent to the wallet that paid, immediately after the create.
- Platform holds: nothing.
Paired with PILL
Every coin on Pill is paired with PILL on pump.fun itself: the bonding curve is quoted in PILL, not in SOL, so buying any coin on the board means buying PILL first. A dev buy is paid in SOL and swapped into PILL before the create. Until PILL exists on pump.fun, new coins are paired with SOL; the coin panel shows which.
The fees go to the people who bring in buyers
On pump.fun the creator fees of a coin go to the person who launched it. On Pill every coin's fees go to the people who bring in its buyers. Open any coin, sign in with your wallet and copy your referral link. When someone buys the coin through your link, with the buy button on the coin, the creator fee of that buy is credited to you. The creator does not receive the fees.
Where the fees go
Every coin on Pill is created by the same wallet, so every creator fee on pump.fun lands in one place. From there all of every coin's fees go into that coin's referral pool. A buy made through someone's referral link, with the buy button on the coin, earns that wallet a share of the pool, in proportion to the fees their buys produced and never more than those fees. A buy through your own link earns nothing. Referral shares are paid in SOL. PILL is launched the same way as every other coin here.
Packs
The packs are the same packs as on pump.fun, with half the house edge. You pay the pack price in SOL at the current SOL price, into a deposit address made for your pack, with one press in your wallet. The card is drawn the moment your SOL lands, with the odds shown on the pack. Every card you can pull is a graded Pokémon card listed on Collector Crypt, and its value is that listing price.
The card goes into your cards on the packs page, under the wallet that paid. From there you can sell it for its value, paid in SOL at the current SOL price to that wallet. A card in your cards is a record on Pill, not a token in your wallet. A pack that receives nothing within 30 minutes closes, and anything that did arrive is sent back.
No guarantees
Pill is an experiment. Nothing on this site is a promise of any payout: not a referral share and not the sale of a card from your cards. Payouts depend on things outside anyone's control, such as Solana, pump.fun, prices and the services Pill runs on, and any of them can be slow, stop or fail. Anything can happen. Coins can go to zero, and a pack can give a card worth less than you paid. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
