How TREND works
TREND is a launchpad on Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve with one twist: when you launch a coin, you can route a share of its creator fees to anyone on X, Instagram, or TikTok — and they collect in ordinary dollars, no wallet or crypto knowledge needed.
Launch a coin about a creator, credit their handle, and every trade pays them. The handle goes in the token's permanent on-chain description, and the token page shows a FEES → @handle chip linking to their profile.
Launching a coin
Name, ticker, image, a creator, done. Every coin launches on a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve with a flat 3% swap fee. Coins launched from X by tagging @launchthetrend carry the TREND anti-snipe curve instead: the fee opens at 70% and tapers to 3% over the first 15 seconds, making sniper bots pay for being early. Fees collect in SOL; pools graduate to Meteora DAMM v2. TREND never holds your liquidity.
Trading is available through Jupiter and any Meteora-compatible interface from the moment the pool exists.
Routing fees to a creator
The ROUTE FEES panel on the launch form takes three things: a platform (X, Instagram, or TikTok), a handle, and a share from 1% to 90%. The wallet field is optional and changes how the money moves:
How creators get paid
Instagram, TikTok & Twitch — gifts, nothing to claim.Your share is delivered in-app: Instagram Gifts, TikTok Gifts, or gifted Twitch subs on your channel. You don't register anywhere or prove anything — the money finds you. Gifts require your account to have gifting enabled (Instagram: professional account with Gifts on; TikTok: gifting eligibility, typically via LIVE; Twitch: Affiliate or Partner), and the platforms keep their usual gift cut. If your account can't receive gifts, the dollar path below is always open.
X — X Money, nothing to claim.Your share is sent to your handle over X Money — X's built-in payments — as dollars, instantly and without transfer fees. You don't register anywhere; the money arrives in your X wallet. X Money is rolling out to US accounts (Premium first), and receiving a payment can itself activate access.
The on-chain split
Every pool's swap fee splits at the protocol level: Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve pays 70% of trading fees to the coin's creator side and 30% to the platform — set in the immutable pool config, not by policy. The creator side is held by a per-coin vaulted wallet the platform controls solely to deliver it onward.
An accrual job reads each coin's claimable creator fees every 10 minutes and converts them to USD at the live SOL price, maintaining owed = accrued − paid per credited handle. Delivery follows the platform: gifted subs, gifts, or X Money.
Fees
Every trade pays the pool's swap fee — a flat 3% on coins launched from the site; X-launched coins open at 70% and floor at 3% after 15 seconds. It splits on-chain: 70% to the coin's creator side — the money that routes to the credited social account — and 30% to the platform, which funds the \$TREND buyback-and-burn and operations.
$TREND — the platform token
$TREND is the platform's token — trade it from the $TREND page. The model: 25% of the platform's fee revenue buys back $TREND and burns it; the rest funds creator payouts and operations. Buybacks execute periodically as revenue accrues.
Fine print worth knowing
Handle verification is checked by a human before the first payout — impersonating a creator gets a claim blocked, not paid. Dollar payouts for handle-only routing are settled by the TREND operator; the on-chain wallet path needs no operator at all. The on-chain fee split is permanent for a coin once set. Coins launched before the fee-routing era keep whatever mechanics they launched with.
