FAQ
How do I earn rewards?
Stake your tokens into the pool for that token. You'll receive shares proportional to the amount you staked and the lock tier you chose. When SOL is synced into the pool, your pending rewards go up automatically. Claim whenever you want.
Where does the SOL come from?
From pump.fun creator fees. Every pump.fun token generates trading fees. When the token creator redirects those fees to the pool's SOL vault, they get distributed to stakers as SOL rewards.
How often do rewards get distributed?
A permissionless crank runs every 5 minutes. It calls pump.fun's distributeCreatorFees to move SOL into the pool vault, then calls sync_rewards to update the accumulator. Anyone can call these instructions — there's no privileged operator.
Can I stake multiple times into the same pool?
Yes. Each stake creates a separate position with its own amount, tier, lock timer, and reward tracking.
Do I lose my rewards if I unstake without claiming first?
No. Unstaking automatically claims all your pending SOL rewards in the same transaction. You will never lose unclaimed rewards by unstaking.
What does Permanent mean exactly?
Your tokens are locked forever. They cannot be unstaked. But your SOL rewards keep accumulating and you can claim them at any time.
What happens if I don't claim for a long time?
Your rewards keep accumulating indefinitely. There's no expiry.
Can anyone create a pool?
Yes. Pool creation is permissionless. Anyone can create a staking pool for any pump.fun token, as long as the token doesn't have an active freeze authority.
Is the program safe?
The staking program is built on Solana with the Anchor framework. Tokens are held in a program-derived vault — no admin can withdraw your staked tokens. All math uses checked arithmetic. Dangerous Token-2022 extensions are blocked at pool creation. Tokens with an active freeze authority are blocked. The program upgrade authority is managed via Squads multisig.
