Teams commit token supply to $P500 lockers and burn $PUMP to rank. Both land on-chain before anyone reads a chart. You see what a team has actually paid, then decide, instead of finding out what they kept once it's already gone.
A launchpad owns issuance and price discovery, the bonding curve, the liquidity, the migration, the fee logic. Pump.fun owns all of that and we're not competing for it. P500 is a settlement and curation layer above it. Two on-chain programs and an indexer.
Ansem.io sits in the same position, a client over pump.fun, not a replacement for it. The word "launchpad" also implies being in the token issuance business, which is a materially different regulatory posture from running an index. Worth choosing deliberately.
Pump.fun tokens sell their whole supply into the curve, so no team holds free premined supply to hand out. Committing 4% means buying it with real SOL on either route, the cost signal survives. Route B just pays a worse price than launch.
The guarantee is the product, so it can't rest on a team's promise. Either the commitment executes inside the mint transaction, or the supply is already sitting in the vault before anything lists. Both routes appear on the board with the difference visible.
A team buys distribution with token supply and burned $PUMP. Lockers get paid in the thing being distributed. The burn tightens the asset the lockers hold.
The circuit only closes if Node C is real. A leaderboard nobody reads breaks it at step 3, see the leaderboard.
Eligibility keys on locked $P500. A pro-rata snapshot of any freely-held token routes most of a drop to exchange omnibus wallets and early buyers, parties who sell on receipt and were never the audience a team was paying to reach. Locking is the filter; weighting is sub-linear so the drop reaches the tail.
Root weighting alone is farmable by splitting a balance across wallets. It only holds because the lock gate makes splitting expensive, the two mechanisms are load-bearing together, not separately.
Randomised sampling means nobody can buy the day before a known snapshot and sell the day after.
Multipliers: 30d ×1.0 · 90d ×1.4 · 180d ×2.0 · 365d ×3.0
Every project commits supply. Burning $PUMP on top buys position, a badge, and at the top tier a human reading your thing before it goes live.
USD shown at an illustrative $0.002/PUMP. Thresholds denominate in PUMP, so the dollar cost floats with the token, worth arguing about, since it makes entry cheapest exactly when the network is least valuable to a team.
Teams burn $PUMP so value lands on the ecosystem rather than on a personality. Holders lock $P500 to be eligible for what teams commit. Different parties, different actions, neither competes with the other for the same wallet.
Bought on the open market and destroyed. Paid by teams, never by holders. The protocol takes no cut, every burned token goes to the incinerator.
Locked to qualify for distributions. Weighted by amount and term. Half of all protocol revenue buys and burns it.
