The rulebookThe program
One Solana program serves every coin. It holds the rules for settling a round, the 95% winners' share, the 5% operations share, and who may be paid. The Solana network enforces those rules on every transaction, not a Bytecade server.
One per coinCoin vaults
Each coin gets its own vault, an address derived from the program and the coin. There is no private key for it, so only the program's rules can move its SOL. At launch the vault is written into the coin as its pump.fun creator, so every creator fee from trading flows there, and no vault can pay another coin's players.
The automationThe keeper
A service that runs around the clock. It collects each coin's creator fees into its vault, closes finished rounds and sends the payouts. Collecting and paying out are open instructions: the keeper only triggers them, and the program decides where the SOL goes.
The round closerThe operator
When a round ends, the operator signs its ranked top 20. The program checks that the round is over, is settled in order and never promises more than the pot, then sends 5% of the round's new fees to the operator to pay the coin's own network fees. The operator key is fixed when the program is set up.
