How it works
What is Payroll?
A pump.fun launchpad where a coin's creator fees don't go to the dev. 100% of them go to the people posting the coin on X, paid in SOL. Bagwork, done properly: the pool is on-chain, the scoring is public, and every payout is a transaction you can check.
Where do the fees go?
At launch, the coin's pump.fun fee-sharing config is set to send 100% of creator fees to a vault wallet made just for that coin. pump.fun locks that config after it's set, so nobody (the dev or us) can redirect it later. We check it on every cycle; if it ever stopped matching, that coin's payouts would freeze. Every few minutes the keeper collects accrued fees into the vault.
What counts as a post?
An original post on X (not a repost) that names the coin's contract address, its $TICKER, or the coin's X account, posted after the coin launched. We search X automatically; if one is missed, paste its link on the coin page. The coin's own account never earns, and a dev can require a minimum follower count.
How are points scored?
Each post earns 10 base points, plus 1 per like, 3 per repost, 2 per reply, 4 per quote and 1 per 1,000 views. Bonuses: +20 for including the CA, +10 for the $TICKER, +15 for verified accounts, +15 for 10K+ followers. A post with fewer than 4 real words earns the base only. Engagement keeps updating until the round ends.
How is a round paid?
Each coin pays on its own clock (15 minutes to 24 hours, set at launch). When a round ends, its pool (a set share of the vault) is split by points. No account can take more than its coin's cap (default 25%); anything left over rolls into the next round. The SOL moves to the payout wallet and is sent to each poster's linked wallet once they're owed at least 0.002 SOL.
Do I need to link before posting?
No. Earnings are tied to your X handle from your first counted post. Link a wallet any time on Earn (post a one-time code from the account) and everything you're owed is sent on the next cycle.
Anti-bot rules
Only an account's best 20 posts per hour count, and repeating the same wording costs 25% of its points. Accounts get a risk score from posting volume, cadence, account age, followers and bought-looking engagement: one warning cuts points to 75%, two to 50%, and a disqualification to zero. Warnings clear on their own once the behaviour stops.
What does launching cost?
pump.fun's create cost (about 0.02 SOL), a 0.003 SOL seed so the vault exists and can pay its own fees, and any dev buy you choose. Payroll takes no cut of the fees.
Wallets
Every coin page links its vault. Posters are paid from the payout wallet DaGeusgCsHAxRWuNBfz2D76MxTDiZmHrAC8SSdh4xhi6. These are server-held wallets that only follow the rules above.
