How PAIRX works
A PAIRX coin is a normal StonkFun coin with a basket attached. Its trading fees buy that basket (stocks, crypto, anything StonkFun pairs with) and pay it to the coin's holders. Automatically, in one transaction, nothing to claim.
Launching a pair
You launch from your own wallet, on one page. Three things make it a PAIRX coin:
Name, ticker, image, links. It shows on StonkFun and on the board like any coin.
What it trades against on StonkFun: SPYx, USDC, SOL and more. Fees arrive in this token.
Up to 8 tokens its holders are paid in. Every round buys all of them.
An optional first buy goes in the same transaction as the launch, so nobody can buy before you. The coin's creator account is a payout vault run by PAIRX. That is how its fees reach the holders.
Where fees go
StonkFun charges 1% on every trade and forwards half of it to the coin's creator account, its vault. That forward was measured on a live StonkFun coin, not estimated.
The cost of paying holders (swaps, network fees, opening token accounts) comes out of the holders' pool, not on top of it.
Rounds
When a coin's holders' pool is worth at least 0.1 SOL (and 10 minutes have passed since its last round), a round runs: the pool is split equally across the basket, each part is swapped into its token, and each token is split between holders.
Example with a 3-token basket. A coin with 8 tokens splits the pool 8 ways the same way.
Getting paid
- Automatic. Payouts are sent to your wallet. There is nothing to claim and nothing to sign.
- All at once. Everything a coin owes you lands together in one transaction, never one token now and another later.
- When it's worth sending. A payout goes out once what you are owed is worth more than sending it costs; until then it adds up.
- First payout of a token. It opens your account for that token. The account's rent (yours to get back if you ever close it) is kept from that first payout.
Every payout is an on-chain transaction you can check on Solscan. A coin's page shows its rounds, what each one bought, and your position once you connect.
What a basket can hold
Anything StonkFun lets a coin pair with that we can buy and send. The list below is live.
Left out on purpose: tokens that can't move freely (paused, frozen, transfer hooks), tokens with no market, and SOL itself (it's a pairing, not a basket token). Tokenized stocks are issued by third parties, are not available to US persons and can be paused by their issuer; a paused stock's payouts wait until it is unpaused. Crypto in a basket is still crypto: its price can go to zero.

FAQ
Do I have to claim anything?
No. Payouts are sent to your wallet automatically.
What if StonkFun stops forwarding fees?
The forward is done by StonkFun. If it stops paying a coin's creator account, that coin's payouts stop.
Who holds the money?
Fees sit in the coin's vault and in PAIRX's payout wallet between arriving and being paid out. Both are hot wallets run by PAIRX. Every payout is on-chain.
Does a coin keep paying after it graduates?
Yes. When the bonding curve fills, the coin moves to a Raydium pool and its fees keep coming.
Can I change the basket later?
No. The basket is part of the launch, so holders know what they are buying into.
