How IdeaPad works
The loop
- Rounds last 10 minutes and run back to back, all day.
- Anyone with an eligible wallet gets 3 votes per round, one per idea. Votes reset every round.
- In the last 3 minutes, voting closes at a random second and the leading idea launches on pump.fun right away.
- Ideas stay in the race for 6 rounds unless they win.

IdeaPad
Voters who backed the winning idea share their part equally for the first 7 days after launch. Payouts go straight to the wallet you signed in with.
Submitting an idea
It costs 0.05 SOL to keep out spam, refunded when your idea reaches 10 votes. You can have 2 ideas in the race at once.
No real people. No real brands or trademarks. Nothing that targets a private person.
Who can vote
One wallet is one voter. To keep bots out, your wallet must be at least 90 days old and hold at least 0.05 SOL. Signing in only asks your wallet to sign a message: it’s not a transaction and can’t move funds.
FAQ
Who holds the coin’s supply?
Nobody from IdeaPad. Every coin launches with no dev buy, so there’s no hidden dev bag.
Can anyone know the launch moment in advance?
No. At the start of each round we publish a fingerprint (a hash) of the secret close time. After the launch we reveal the time and the secret, and anyone can check them on the Fairness page.
What if no idea gets enough votes?
Nothing launches that round and every idea rolls over to the next one. An idea needs at least 10 votes to launch.
Where do the creator fees come from?
pump.fun pays creator fees on every trade of a coin. Each IdeaPad coin has its own creator wallet, so its fees are kept separate and shared as shown above.
How do I know I’m buying the real coin?
Only buy the contract address shown with ✓ Official CA on the coin’s IdeaPad page. Copycats with the same name or ticker are listed there as Known fakes.
When are rewards paid?
Creator fees are claimed and shared every hour, straight to the wallet you signed in with. Very small amounts are carried over until they are worth sending. Every claim and payment is on the Ledger page.
What is a practice launch?
Before real launches are switched on, a winning idea gets a practice launch: everything happens except creating the coin on pump.fun. A practice coin has no contract address and can’t be bought.
Is this financial advice?
No. Meme coins can go to zero. Only spend what you’re okay losing.
