How it works
Five Star Pad launches coins on pump.fun. Each coin is paired with TTWO, the tokenized Take-Two share, or with a GTA coin that is itself paired with TTWO. Every coin is a pump.fun holder-rewards coin, so its holders get paid in that pair, straight to their wallets.
Money flow
- Someone buys or sells your coin. The trade pays a creator fee you set at launch, from 0.01% to 3%. It can never change afterwards.
- On a holder-rewards coin that fee is set aside for holders. pump.fun records its own address as the fee recipient, so the creator gets none of it.
- Roughly every $20 of collected fees, pump.fun pays it out in the pair asset, pro rata, to wallets holding about $20 or more of the coin.
Five Star Pad takes no fee and holds nothing. Your wallet signs the launch, and the new coin's mint key is generated in your browser. We have no smart contracts of our own: everything runs on pump.fun's programs. Half of pump.fun's revenue from custom pairs goes to their $PUMP buyback; that is their mechanic and we do not touch it.
Pairs and districts
On the map every pair is a district. Coins paired with TTWO stand in Downtown. Coins paired with a GTA coin stand in that coin's district: Dacity in the Port, Macca in the Lagoon, VC on the Beach Strip, the other GTA coins in the Hills. Pairs without a district, $FIVESTAR included, go to the Keys. The pair is permanent.
pump.fun counts how deep a chain of pairs goes. TTWO is a listed quote, so a coin paired with it has depth 0 for this purpose, and a coin paired with a GTA coin has depth 1. The limit today is 2. A pair cannot be in mayhem mode, and if any coin in the chain has a finished curve that has not migrated yet, the launch fails until migration runs.
$FIVESTAR is our own coin: a holder-rewards coin paired with TTWO, so its holders get paid in TTWO. Coins that pick $FIVESTAR as their pair trade against it and pay their holders in $FIVESTAR, so every buy of those coins is also demand for $FIVESTAR.
Holder rewards
Holders do nothing to get paid: there is no claim button. pump.fun runs the payouts. Your stash page shows what reached your wallet from coins launched here. When we cannot match a payout to a transaction we show the fees accrued for holders instead, and say so.
Wanted level
Stars are our site rating, computed every five minutes and stored in our database. They are not an on-chain property and they say nothing about future price.
- One star: at least one trade in 24 hours.
- Two stars: 24h volume of $10k or more.
- Three stars: 24h volume of $100k or more, or a market cap of $250k or more.
- Four stars: market cap of $1M or more.
- Five stars: market cap of $5M or more, or the top 24h volume on the pad.
Families (which coins share a pair) also live in our database. They follow from each coin's on-chain pair.
On-chain vs our database
On-chain, on pump.fun
The coin, its pair, holder rewards, the fee rate, payouts, prices, reserves and trades.
Only in our database
Which coins were launched through Five Star Pad, wanted level, families, leaderboards, and cached market cap, volume, holder counts and payout totals.
Risks
- TTWO can be frozen. The token is issued by Backpack Securities. The issuer can freeze or pause it, and then every pair and every payout built on it stops.
- Your pair sets your price. Your coin's dollar price is its price in the pair times the pair's price. If a GTA coin falls, the coins paired with it and the payouts in it fall too.
- pump.fun can switch off holder rewards. If they stop new holder-rewards coins, launching here is blocked with a clear message until they turn it back on.
- Memecoins are risky. Most go to zero. Nothing here is investment advice, and holder payouts are not a promise of returns.
