Frequently Asked Questions

Launching a token on shittag is completely permissionless, fair, and takes less than 60 seconds on Solana:

1. Connect Your Solana Wallet: Connect your own self-custodial wallet (Phantom, Solflare or Backpack) or the in-browser embedded wallet (its key stays in your browser). On the devnet demo, switch the wallet to Devnet and get free devnet SOL at faucet.solana.com.
2. Select or Register an Anchoring Web3 Domain: Choose one of your owned Web3 NFT domains (e.g., pepe.shit or alpha.pump). Every token must be anchored to an authentic domain namespace to prevent impersonator copycats.
3. Configure Token Metadata:
   • Token Name: Full name of your project (e.g., "Giga Chad Pepe").
   • Symbol / Ticker: 2 to 10 uppercase letters or digits (e.g., "GCP").
   • Description & Story: The lore, purpose, or narrative of your token (plain text, up to 500 characters).
   • Logo & Artwork: Upload a PNG, JPG or WebP image (up to 2 MB; square 1:1 recommended). The page resizes it to at most 640 px and ShitTag stores it with the launch (up to 512 KB; SVG and GIF are not accepted), serves it on the token page and puts it in the token metadata wallets and explorers read. An https:// image URL (up to 300 characters) works too.
   • Social Channels: X (Twitter), Telegram and website links are stored with the launch and shown on the token page and in the token metadata. Each must start with https:// (up to 200 characters); the X link must be on x.com or twitter.com and the Telegram link on t.me.
4. Initial Creator Purchase (Optional): You may optionally make a first buy right after the deployment (a second transaction your wallet signs), limited by the same per-launch anti-sniper cap as every wallet during the first 5 minutes.
5. Creator Lock: your 5% creator allocation is locked by your domain tier (6 / 8 / 12 / 24 hours for 3L / 4L / 5L / 6+L) and can be claimed only after graduation, that lock and the Raydium migration.
6. Sign & Deploy: Confirm the transaction in your wallet. The SPL token mint, Metaplex metadata, and bonding curve contract are initialized immediately on Solana!

Every token created on shittag adheres to standard Solana SPL and Metaplex specifications with strict safety guarantees:

Deploying costs about 0.023 SOL (about 0.024 SOL on your first launch), plus the network fee. ShitTag charges no deployment fee.

The cost is Solana rent and Metaplex's metadata fee:

• SPL mint account rent (~0.0015 SOL)
• Metaplex metadata account rent (~0.0056 SOL) plus Metaplex's 0.01 SOL token-metadata fee
• Bonding curve state, token claim vault and mint marker accounts (~0.0059 SOL)
• Your creator fee vault, created once on your first launch (~0.0009 SOL)

There are zero upfront platform listing fees, zero hidden management charges, and zero approval wait times.

To protect investors from bait-and-switch scams:

• Fixed On-Chain: The symbol (ticker), the total supply and the revoked mint authority never change. The token name written on-chain (Metaplex metadata) is not editable by the creator; only the program's config authority can correct an on-chain name or metadata link.
• Description, Logo & Links: The wallet that created the launch can update the description (up to 500 characters), the logo and the X, Telegram and website links at any time by signing in with that wallet (Edit links on the token page). Nobody else can change them.

It is mathematically and architecturally impossible.

During the bonding curve phase, there is no centralized liquidity pool that a developer could withdraw. All deposited SOL is locked inside a program-derived escrow address (PDA) governed strictly by open-source smart contract logic.

Furthermore, the creator's initial tokens are locked on-chain via our Dev Lock Guard for 6 to 24 hours, preventing early creator dumps.

shittag uses a constant-product bonding curve with a virtual SOL reserve (V × 1B = (V + T) × 260M, so selling the 740M curve tokens raises exactly the SOL target T). As traders buy tokens, the price rises along that curve; as traders sell, tokens go back into the curve and SOL is paid out of the escrow.

Curve Distribution Breakdown:

• 740,000,000 tokens (74%) are allocated to the bonding curve.
• 210,000,000 tokens (21%) are locked in escrow for Raydium CPMM migration, and 50,000,000 tokens (5%) are locked in creator vesting.
• The curve graduates when all 740M curve tokens are sold, which raises the tier SOL target (SOL pairs only).

A token reaches 100% Graduation when the bonding curve sells all 740M curve tokens and reaches its tier SOL target (program defaults = the planned mainnet values 200 / 333 / 500 / 666 SOL; the devnet demo's on-chain config uses targets of a few SOL so faucet SOL can graduate a launch, and every launch page shows its own target).

At this milestone:

• All 740,000,000 curve tokens have been purchased by the community.
• The implied market capitalization at the curve's final price is about 5.2 × the SOL target (final price = T / 192.4M SOL per token × 1B supply: about 1,040 SOL at a 200 SOL target, 3,460 SOL at 666 SOL); its USD value depends on the SOL price.
• The curve closes in the same transaction (no more buys or sells); the Raydium CPMM migration is a separate permissionless transaction (the keeper runs it, anyone can).

Slippage tolerance defines the maximum acceptable percentage change in token price between transaction broadcast and on-chain confirmation.

• Calm trading: 1% (the terminal's default).
• Fast-moving price: 2.5% or 5%, so the trade does not revert when other trades land first.

The setting you pick (1%, 2.5% or 5%) is written into every curve trade as a limit: the program refuses a buy that would give fewer tokens, or a sell that would pay less, than the setting allows (only the network fee is spent then). There is no automatic slippage calculator.

What limits front-running and sandwiches on shittag:

• Anti-Snipe Block Cap: In the first 5 minutes of a launch, each wallet's buys are capped (default 3% of the SOL target, creator-set up to 10%).
• Slippage limit in every trade: a sandwich can move your fill only within your slippage setting; beyond it the program refuses the trade.
• No private route: trades are sent to the public Solana network like any wallet transaction (there are no Jito bundles), so keep the slippage setting tight.

Once the curve graduates, a permissionless migration (run by the keeper or anyone) executes this sequence:

1. Curve Closed: The buy that sells the last curve token graduates the launch in the same transaction; from then on the curve accepts no buys or sells. Until the migration below runs, the token cannot be traded.
2. Liquidity Assembly: The raised SOL (minus the 0.255 SOL migration budget) and the 210,000,000 reserved tokens are bundled together. The pool therefore opens about 8.4% below the curve's final price (210M tokens against the raised SOL, while the curve's last price counted a 192.4M-token virtual reserve).
3. Raydium CPMM Pool Deployment: The protocol executes a Cross-Program Invocation (CPI) to the Raydium Constant Product Market Maker program, creating the official AMM pool.
4. Permanent LP Burn: 100% of the newly minted Liquidity Provider (LP) tokens are burned on-chain in the same instruction, so the liquidity can never be pulled.
5. Fixed Supply: Nothing to revoke here: the launch mint has had no mint or freeze authority since the launch was created (the whole 1,000,000,000 supply was minted into the program's vault then). No new tokens can ever be minted.
6. Public Pool: The pool is an ordinary Raydium CPMM pool; aggregators and charting sites such as Jupiter, DexScreener and Birdeye index such pools on their own schedule.

Never. The LP tokens are burned on-chain in the same instruction that creates the pool.

Neither the developer nor the shittag protocol administrators hold any keys, tokens, or permissions to touch, withdraw, or alter the graduated liquidity pool.

Between graduation and the migration the token cannot be traded (the curve is closed, the pool does not exist yet); curve buyers claim their SPL tokens once the migration is done. The migration is permissionless; if it still has not run 7 days after graduation, each holder can take back its pro-rata share of the raised SOL on-chain (from the first such refund on, the launch can no longer migrate). After the migration you can keep trading on the shittag terminal (it then swaps on the launch's Raydium pool, signed by your wallet) or on any Solana DEX or aggregator that routes Raydium CPMM pools (on mainnet), for example:

• Raydium.io DEX
• Jupiter Aggregator (price routing across Solana)

The devnet demo registers 98 public Top-Level Domains (TLDs) on Solana, in 6 categories, including:

.shit, .pump, .bonk, .alpha, .chad, .rekt, .whale, .wagmi, .rich, .anon, .ai, and 87 more.

Every domain is minted as an on-chain Metaplex NFT (supply 1) into your own Solana wallet, and the program records its owner. It works as your on-site identity and as the anchor for your token launches. A free off-chain reservation is not a domain: only a mint creates the NFT.

Legacy meme platforms are flooded with copycat tokens and impersonators (e.g., 50 different fake tokens with identical tickers launching within minutes to trick traders).

shittag introduces Proof-of-Namespace:

• Every token is anchored to a registered NFT domain (e.g. pepe.shit).
• A domain name exists once in the registry, and only the wallet holding its NFT can create a launch under it.
• Traders can see the anchoring domain on the token page.

Yes. Domains are standard Metaplex NFTs in your own wallet:

• Trade peer-to-peer on the built-in shittag Domain Marketplace with 0% listing fees and a flat 3.5% settlement fee on completed secondary sales.
• On the devnet demo, domains exist only on Solana devnet: they are not listed on mainnet marketplaces (such as Magic Eden or Tensor) and have no monetary value.
• Transfer directly to any other Solana address via your wallet app.

Domains are priced based on character scarcity, developer launch rights, and brand value, with an automatic Welcome $SHIT Airdrop by tier. The halving schedule below is applied on-chain by the program (the landing page shows the live epoch):

Limits: one airdrop per domain (first registration only), plus a per-wallet 24h limit from the on-chain config (mainnet: 7,500 $SHIT per wallet per 24 hours, no cooldown between names). Domains also support multi-year registration and a 30-day renewal grace period; a renewal always extends the current expiry (also when it is paid during the grace period).

$SHIT is the native utility and reward token of the shittag ecosystem (it carries no governance or voting rights) with a permanently fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 $SHIT (6 decimals; mint and freeze authority status is shown from the chain):

On a bonding curve without a deadline, an abandoned launch never ends: the only exit is selling back into a curve that nobody buys from any more, after the holders who sold first.

shittag adds a 75% failed-launch refund, enforced by the program:

If a bonding curve does not graduate within its 7-day deadline, anyone can mark the launch failed. Each buyer then claims 75% of its pro-rata share of the remaining escrow on-chain. This is 75% of the escrow left at failure, not a guarantee of 75% of what you paid: the 1.25% fees and earlier sells reduce the escrow.

The refund amount is calculated strictly on-chain using the formula:

The refund is computed by the smart contract. The 1.25% trading fees are not refunded. There are no admins, tickets, or intermediaries.

The remaining 25% is never pocketed by platform insiders. Instead, the 25% goes to the Rekt-Fest pool, which pays losers of failed launches a weekly share proportional to what they lost:

• Rekt-Fest pool: a weekly on-chain distribution to losers, proportional to recorded losses. No lottery, no tickets, no jackpot.
• Weekly epochs: at most 50% of the pool's undistributed SOL is used per week; each week can be claimed for 4 weeks, then the unclaimed rest stays in the pool for later weeks.

When a launch has failed, a refund button appears on the token terminal.

Simply click the button, review the SOL refund amount, and confirm the transaction. The SOL lands in your wallet in the same transaction.

To stop creators from dumping their tokens immediately after launch:

• Anti-Sniper Cap: The creator's wallet is under the same per-launch cap as every wallet in the first 5 minutes.
• Mandatory Timelock: The creator's 5% allocation stays in the program's claim vault, locked for 6 / 8 / 12 / 24 hours by domain tier.
• On-Chain Claim Block: The program refuses the creator allocation claim until the launch has graduated, the tier lock has passed and the Raydium migration is done.

During the initial 5 minutes of any new token launch:

• During the first 5 minutes, no single wallet can buy more than the per-launch cap (default 3% of the SOL target, creator-set up to 10%).
• The cap is per wallet: one wallet cannot take a large share of the curve in the opening minutes (many wallets still can; there is no sybil check on chain).
• After the 5 minutes the cap ends and any wallet can buy any amount the curve has left.

No. There is no on-chain trust score:

• The creator lock depends only on the domain tier (6 / 8 / 12 / 24 hours).
• Every creator buys under the same anti-sniper cap as every other wallet.
• A launch's on-chain record (raised amount, graduation or failure) is public on Solana.
• No badge changes any on-chain rule.

Any risk label shown on the site is informational only.

No. The former 1-Click trading wallet (a server-held keypair with export and sweep functions) is retired. Every transaction on shittag is signed by your own wallet: Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, or the in-browser embedded wallet whose key never leaves your browser. We never hold your keys or funds.

shittag.fun currently runs on Solana devnet. Devnet SOL and devnet tokens are free test tokens with no value. Reserving a name, signing in and the quests need no SOL; minting, trading and launching need a little devnet SOL.

1. Switch your wallet to Devnet. Phantom: Settings > Developer Settings > turn on Testnet Mode, then select Solana Devnet. Solflare: Settings > Network > Devnet. Backpack or another wallet: see your wallet's network settings and set Solana to Devnet. A wallet left on mainnet shows 0 SOL and warns that devnet transactions will fail.
2. Get free devnet SOL from the official faucet: faucet.solana.com. Choose Devnet, paste your wallet address and request an airdrop (the faucet has its own rate limits; try again later if it is dry).
3. Reload shittag.fun and connect your wallet again.

Points are recorded for quests (wallet connect, reservation, daily check-in, verified X quests) and for referrals (each referred wallet once, after it mints on devnet and its own points are active: 250 points, plus 25 for each wallet your referrals bring in). Points count only when your X account is verified, at least 30 days old and has at least 10 followers, and you minted at least one domain on devnet (confirmed). If X does not show your account's age or follower count, your points stay pending until it does. Your X handle is shown publicly only if you choose to show it. The X follow and bio may be re-checked at the snapshot. At the snapshot at most 50,000 points count per wallet, and wallets funded from one source in groups of 5 or more (the public devnet faucet does not count as a source) are excluded; a shared network (mobile carrier, campus) alone excludes nobody.

Claiming costs SOL: the first claim pays the network fee and the rent of a claim record and of your $SHIT token account, about 0.0034 SOL (0.0013 SOL if you already hold $SHIT). At the $SHIT pool's opening price (20 SOL for 40,000,000 $SHIT) a small allocation such as the 100 $SHIT minimum is worth about 0.00005 SOL, less than that cost; the claim card says so before you sign.

Points are not tokens and have no monetary value. The Season 1 airdrop pool is up to 50,000,000 $SHIT (5% of the supply), shared pro rata by points with at most 250,000 $SHIT per wallet. The snapshot date is announced in advance and the claim opens on mainnet; points do not guarantee any allocation. One person = one participant: multiple wallets, bots or bought X accounts are disqualified. Team and operator wallets and the demo bots never earn points. See the Terms (Airdrop & Devnet Demo).

One X account can be verified on one wallet only. If you lose access to that wallet, email support@shittag.fun from a new wallet you control: after a manual check an admin can remove the X link from the old wallet (it then loses its X quest points), and you verify the same X account again on the new wallet. This is not possible after the airdrop snapshot.

Not automatically, and they are not gifted. Complete the airdrop tasks and the names you hold at the snapshot (up to 3) are reserved for you on mainnet: you get an early window to mint them yourself at the normal price before everyone else. Names you do not mint in that window open to everyone when it ends. Names held by the team and reserved KOL names are not included. The window dates are announced before launch.

Say Hi is a decentralized direct messaging escrow system. Want to pitch a creator, whale, or influencer directly?

• Attach a $SHIT amount (e.g. 500 $SHIT; devnet test tokens on the demo) with your message; it is held in an on-chain escrow.
• The recipient can accept within 7 days.
• If they accept, the escrow pays 85% to the recipient, 10% to the treasury and burns 5%.
• If you cancel, or the session expires after 7 days, 90% is refunded to you, 5% goes to the treasury and 5% is burned (this deters spam).

Bullshit is the post feed on every token page: holders write posts about the token they hold.

• Holders only: to post you sign in with your wallet and hold a position in that token worth at least 0.006 SOL (about a dollar), read from the on-chain index. Posts are up to 600 characters with an optional image; replies are up to 280 characters.
• Reactions & boosts: Bull, Rekt and Degen reactions and post boosts are $SHIT burns signed by your own wallet.
• No tipping: tips are not available; posts never move funds.

No. Raid-to-Earn is not offered:

• There are no raid missions and no raid bounties.
• The only X actions are the airdrop campaign quests (verify your X account with a code in your bio, follow, quote-post).
• Quests earn campaign points only, never SOL or tokens; see the campaign rules.

Not yet. The ShitTag Bot & Builder API v1 (/docs#openapi) is not live: its trade and create endpoints answer 410 and its read endpoints serve indexer data only. Every trade is signed by the user's own wallet:

• 1. Local Transaction Builder (POST /api/v1/trade-local): Not live (answers 410).
• 2. Scoped & SHA-256 Hashed Bot API Keys (POST /api/v1/bot/api-keys/generate): API keys (st_live_...) are returned once and stored as SHA-256 hashes. Allowed scopes: read, trade, create_token. Withdrawals/sweeps are permanently blocked on Bot API keys.
• 3. Server-Executed Bot Trades (POST /api/v1/trade): Not live (answers 410); there are no server-executed trades.
• 4. Per-Trade & Daily SOL Spend Caps: Every Bot API key enforces customizable maxSolPerTrade (default 5.0 SOL) and dailySolLimit (default 50.0 SOL) limits plus optional IP allowlists.
• 5. Programmatic Token Launch (POST /api/v1/create-token): Not live (answers 410); launches are created on-chain from the creator's wallet.
• 6. Builder / Referral Rewards: Builder fees are not live. The on-chain referral pays 15% of the protocol fee share inside each transaction.
