Fees and the vault
Everything POMY pays out starts as a trading fee. This page follows a fee from the trade to the vault.
The fee
$POMY is a standard SPL token launched on pump.fun. The token itself carries no transfer fee — instead, every trade on pump.fun and PumpSwap pays a creator fee, a share of trading volume that scales with market cap (largest for smaller caps, tapering as the token grows). That creator share is claimed in SOL to a treasury wallet on Solana controlled by POMY. That wallet is the vault.
Nothing else funds the vault. There is no team allocation feeding it, no external yield and no deposits from holders. If nobody trades, nothing accrues. This is deliberate: it means every credit and every prize is backed by real activity, and it means the rate you see on the site is a fact, not a promise.
What the vault is for
The vault has one job: buy graded cards for holders. Money leaves it for exactly three reasons.
- Credits redemptions — a holder spends credits on a card and the vault buys that card.
- Draw prizes — the pool reaches $1,000 and the vault buys the prize slab.
- Operations — Solana network fees for harvests and deliveries, which are small and published in the Ledger.
The vault does not trade $POMY, does not provide liquidity and does not pay anyone a salary. Its balance and every outflow are visible on chain; see Security and trust for the addresses.
One chain
Fees arrive on Solana, and cards live there too — Collector Crypt's vault tokens are Solana tokens. The vault harvests its fees as $POMY and swaps them into a float in USDC, which pays for cards. The float is sized to cover the next several draws and typical redemption volume; the Ledger shows it as a multiple of the draw threshold ("treasury float 3.1×"). When the float runs low, redemptions above a cap queue until the next top-up rather than failing. See Fees and economics.
What happens next
Once an hour the vault closes a window and divides the hour's fees between holders and the pool. That is the subject of the next page: Windows and credits.
