How it works
$WORK is a pump.fun coin. Its creator fees are paid out every 5 minutes to holders who do work for it: callouts, posts, bios.
In short
Holding alone pays nothing. People who post about the coin are the ones bringing new buyers, so they are the ones paid.
No wallet connect and no claiming. Every worker has a public profile with the jobs done, what is missing and the pay: click anyone on Workers. The jobs and their points are on Jobs.
Points
At every payroll the site looks at each holder with $20+ and counts their points from what is true at that moment. Points are not saved up: delete a callout, or let a post get older than 24 hours, and its points are gone from the next minute.
| Job | What counts | Points |
|---|---|---|
| Callout | A callout of yours is up on the $WORK page on pump.fun | 40 |
| …you posted it, or posted an update on it, in the last 24 hours | +20 | |
| …likes on it and its updates (a repost counts as 3): 10 +10, 100 +20, 1,000 +40, twice as much for every 10× more | no top | |
| X posts | You posted with $WORK in the last 24 hours, from the X account linked to your wallet | 20 |
| …every one of those posts by its views: 1K +10, 10K +20, 100K +40, 1M +80, twice as much for every 10× more | no top | |
| Bio | $WORK in your pump.fun bio, while you also have a callout or a post | +20 |
| Streak | Days of work in a row: 3 → ×1.1, 7 → ×1.25, 14 → ×1.5, 30 → ×2 | × all of it |
There is no top. Keep posting, keep your callout fresh, get it liked and your posts seen, and your points keep growing; work every day and the streak multiplies them. Points are counted again at every payroll from what is true then, so what grows them is work that keeps going.
Keeping a callout fresh
A new callout gives 60 points for 24 hours, plus what its likes and reposts add. After that it gives 40 plus likes and reposts, until you post an update on the same callout: then 60 again for the next 24 hours.
Views
Views are the number X shows under each post. The site reads them again every few minutes while a post is new, so a post that spreads keeps adding points during the day. Every post of the last 24 hours counts, not only the best one.
Streak
A day of work is any day you were paid at least once. Miss a day and you drop one step, not back to the start.
From points to SOL
Every 5 minutes, 70% of the new creator fees goes to everyone with points. Each person's part is their points (with the streak multiplier) times the square root of what they hold in dollars. In plain words: twice the points, twice the pay; four times the bag, twice the pay; no points, no pay.
| Holder | Does | Points | Holds | Weight | Gets of 1 SOL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ann | fresh callout, a post with 10K views, bio | 120 | $100 | 120 × 10 = 1,200 | 0.50 |
| Bob | fresh callout | 60 | $100 | 60 × 10 = 600 | 0.25 |
| Cat | post with 1K views | 30 | $400 | 30 × 20 = 600 | 0.25 |
| Dan | nothing | 0 | $50,000 | 0 | 0 |

Where the fees go
Pay under 0.0001 SOL waits and is added to your next payment. Every payment and every burn has its transaction on Payroll and Burns.
Launch a coin
Anyone can launch a coin through Work. It goes live on pump.fun and runs the same payroll as $WORK: its holders are paid every 5 minutes for callouts on its page, posts with its ticker and its ticker in their bio.
Every coin trades against $WORK
A coin launched on Work is a pump.fun pair with $WORK, not with SOL. You still buy it with SOL: the buy goes SOL → $WORK → the coin in one transaction. So every buy of every Work coin buys $WORK first, and the $WORK it pays with stays in that coin's pool on pump.fun.
That is two trades on pump.fun, so a buy pays pump.fun's trading fee twice. The first trade is a $WORK trade: its creator fee goes to $WORK's own payroll. Every coin on Work feeds the workers of $WORK too.
Its fees are locked
At launch, the coin's creator fees are set on pump.fun to go 100% to a wallet made for that coin, and the right to change that is revoked in the same step. After that nobody can redirect them: not us, not the creator, not anyone. You can check it on the coin's pump.fun page under fee sharing. A coin whose lock didn't go through is not on Work.
| A launched coin's creator fees (paid in $WORK) | Share |
|---|---|
| Burned as they come in | 20% |
| Sold for SOL, paid to its holders who work for it | 70% |
| Sold for SOL, paid to the creator | 10% |
How to launch
On Launch: connect a wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack), fill in the name, ticker, picture and an optional dev buy, and sign once. Your wallet signs the create, the fee lock and the dev buy together; it pays pump.fun's accounts and a little SOL for gas to the coin's wallet, about 0.05 SOL plus the dev buy. You are the coin's creator on pump.fun, and the dev buy's coins land in your wallet.
After the launch, the same page keeps a window for each coin you launched: its picture, the contract address to copy, links to pump.fun and its page here, your bag, and sell buttons for 25%, 50% or 100%.
Questions
Do I need to connect my wallet?
Not to work or get paid. The site only reads public data: the blockchain, pump.fun and X, and pay goes to the wallet that holds the coin. You connect a wallet only to launch a coin.
Can a creator take the fees of a coin launched on Work?
No. Its fee sharing is locked at launch: 100% to the coin's wallet, and the right to change it is revoked on pump.fun. The creator gets 10% of the fees through the payroll, like the workers get theirs.
How fast does a new callout count?
From the next payroll: one runs every 5 minutes.
How does the site link my X account to my wallet?
Your first post with $WORK has your wallet address in it. That links the account to the wallet, once. Put the wallet that posted your callout and holds $20+ of the coin: then your callout and your posts add up.
How are X views counted?
We read the number X shows under each post every few minutes while it is new. Every post of the last 24 hours counts: 1,000+ views +10, 10,000+ +20, 100,000+ +40, and twice as much for every 10× more.
Does a bigger bag pay more?
Yes, but only while you work, and slower than the bag grows: 4 times the bag gives 2 times the pay.
What if nobody works between two payrolls?
The fees wait and go out with the next payroll.
Where is the treasury?
