Fees and economics
Where the money comes from, where it goes, and what POMY keeps.
Sources
The vault's only income is $POMY's pump.fun creator fee — a market-cap-tiered share of trading volume (about 0.95% at smaller market caps, tapering to 0.05% at the largest), claimed in SOL from pump.fun to the treasury wallet. There is no other revenue.
Split
Per window: 80% to credits, 20% to the pool. The split is applied to fees after they arrive in the vault; nothing is taken before it.
What POMY keeps
Nothing from the credits or pool shares. POMY's operating costs (infrastructure, swaps, Solana network fees) are paid from a separate operations allowance funded by the team, not from holder fees. If that changes, an explicit operations percentage will be published here and shown in the Ledger's split.
Conversion and float
Fees are harvested as $POMY on Solana and swapped to USDC in batches. The vault holds a USDC float sized to at least three times the draw threshold plus typical redemption demand. The float multiple is published in the site footer. Swap costs are paid from the operations allowance.
What the rate depends on
The rate per $1,000 held is credits share of a window ÷ total eligible dollar value held. Two things move it: trading volume (the numerator) and how much is held (the denominator). Heavy trading with modest holding produces a high rate; heavy holding with light trading produces a low one. The rate is displayed live and is never a forecast.
Worked examples
Assume the token's total eligible holdings are worth $1,000,000.
| 24h volume | Fees to vault (0.7%) | Credits (80%) | Pool (20%) | Rate per $1,000 per hour |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $5,000,000 | $35,000 | $28,000 | $7,000 | ≈ $1.17 |
| $1,000,000 | $7,000 | $5,600 | $1,400 | ≈ $0.23 |
| $200,000 | $1,400 | $1,120 | $280 | ≈ $0.05 |
A $5,000 holder in the first row earns about $140 per day; in the last, about $5.60. The pool in the first row fills roughly every 3.4 hours; in the last, about every 3.5 days. These are illustrations of the arithmetic, not projections.
Slippage and failed purchases
Buying on a live marketplace costs occasionally: a listing sells first, or a price moves between display and purchase. These costs are absorbed by the operations allowance today. POMY reserves the right to introduce a small spread on redemptions (shown before confirmation) if they become material.
