a handle counts once. it counts for whoever was first.
call the coin on pump.fun and tag real people in your callout. every handle is territory: the first caller to tag an account claims it and takes its full worth for the whole coin, and everyone tagging that handle after them earns a slice of what the first one got. the tagonpump board shows every claim, the split and the receipt.
one callout per person per coin — that is pump.fun's rule — so the handles you put in it are the only claims you get. tag real people, because every real account you claim is worth something and it is worth more the more followers they have. creator fees collected are divided by score and paid in SOL, published on the board with the receipt.
claim
once for the whole coin
a handle counts once. not once per callout, not once per caller — once, for the whole coin. every tag after the first is a tag on a handle that is already spoken for.
it counts for whoever was first
the caller who tagged that account first holds the claim, and holds it for the round. every handle is looked up against pump.fun, so a claim is on a real person or it is on nothing.
decay
the first tag on a handle takes its full worth. the second takes half of it, the third a third.
you claimed the handle. you take everything it is worth.
someone got there first. half the worth, no argument.
a third. late to the handle, still on the board.
fourth is a quarter, fifth a fifth, and it keeps going. a late tag still counts, just for less — it never falls to zero and it never beats being first. that is what stops fifty wallets pasting the same five famous handles: the fiftieth of them is tagging for a fiftieth.
what a claim is worth
bigger accounts are worth more, but not proportionally more.
| Their followers | Worth |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1.00 |
| 100 | 2.04 |
| 1,000 | 3.00 |
| 10,000 | 4.00 |
| 100,000 | 5.00 |
so landing a 100,000-follower account beats a 100-follower account by about two and a half times, not by a thousand. ten ordinary people still beat two whales. that is deliberate. otherwise the only move is chasing five famous names and there is no point anyone else playing.
those are first-tag numbers. claim the handle and the whole figure is yours; tag one somebody already holds and you get the decayed slice of it.
what does not count
- handles that are not real accounts. @asjdajsd earns nothing. every tag is looked up against pump.fun.
- tagging yourself.
- @everyone. it is a broadcast to the whole room. it names nobody in particular.
- people already tagged. each account counts once for the whole coin, and it counts for whoever tagged them first. if forty people paste the same famous names, one of them brought them. find someone nobody has yet.
- bought followers. an account with fifty thousand empty followers is worth what its real audience is worth. we check whether the followers have followers.
limits
nobody takes more than 25% of a round, however well they did. whatever a cap claws back is offered to everyone else first. a big pot with only two or three callers leaves money the caps cannot absorb, and that rolls into the next round rather than being forced out or quietly kept. the board publishes that number too.
disclosure
callers are paid to call this coin. that is the whole mechanism, stated here rather than buried. every payout, who received it, and what it was scored on is published on the board, including the tags that were rejected and why.
