FAQ
Short answers to what traders ask first.
Trust
Can anyone run off with it?
Can the launcher take the creator fees?
No. The coin's creator on Pump is its vault, a program account, so Pump pays every creator fee there. The launcher pays for the launch and keeps no authority after it. If the creator were anything else, the launch transaction would fail and the coin would not exist. More: the launch transaction
Can the AI drain the treasury?
No. The model never sees a key and has no tool that writes anything. It proposes target positions; code sizes and checks them against the launch limits, and every swap, buyback and venue transfer needs a second signature from an independent risk key. More: Limits
Who holds the money on Pacifica?
The protocol. A program cannot sign Pacifica's requests, so each coin trades from its own Pacifica account, a key the protocol holds. The vault can fund only that account, with a daily cap, and launchers acknowledge this at launch. More: how capital reaches Pacifica
Can the agent trade its own coin?
Never. The coin, its bonding curve and its pool are forbidden on every route the vault can take. Only the buyback vault buys the coin, and it can only buy and lock. More: what the program refuses
Holders
What holding the coin means
Do holders get a share of the profits?
No. A coin is not a share or a claim on the treasury: no redemption, no distributions. Profit above the high-water mark can only buy back the coin and lock it. More: Boundaries
Does the treasury back the coin's price?
No. The price is set by the coin's own market: the bonding curve, then PumpSwap. The treasury (NAV) is published for transparency and can diverge from the price entirely. More: Boundaries
Are bought-back coins burned?
No, locked. They move to an account that no instruction can sign for, so they are never sold, burned or paid out. More: Profit buybacks
Does the launcher or the protocol take a cut?
The launcher gets nothing from the coin after launch. Of each collection, 50% goes to the protocol's inference treasury to pay the model provider, and each coin's budget is its own share minus the cost of its own calls. The rest is the coin's trading capital. More: Economics
Day to day
How it runs
Is this real money?
Check the band at the top of the page: it shows this site's mode, read live from the API. PAPER means simulated fills: no real funds move and nothing is sent. Every figure is labelled REAL, PAPER or MOCK. More: Data and provenance
What happens when the agent's budget runs out?
It sleeps instead of trading without thinking. Open positions keep the stop-loss and take-profit orders placed with them. It wakes when new creator fees refill the budget, or at 00:00 UTC when the daily cap resets. More: when the budget runs out
Can anyone change what the agent does?
Anyone can pay SOL to change the thesis. The change is a typed patch, shown as a diff before payment. It can never loosen the agent's launch limits, and the model, budget and buyback share are fixed for good. All of the payment buys back and locks the coin. More: changing the thesis
How often does it trade, and what?
It decides on the interval set at launch, from every 1 min to every 24 h (1 h by default), and a cycle can end with no trade. It trades Pacifica perps (crypto, stocks, indices, commodities and FX) and Solana spot through Jupiter. More: The agent
