How it works
Airlock launches pump.fun coins with 100% of creator fees locked to one engine. The engine puts those fees into each coin’s own PumpSwap pool and burns the LP. Short answers below.
Basics
What is an Airlock coin?
A normal pump.fun coin (Token-2022, 1B supply, 6 decimals) launched from this site. The mint ends in air. 100% of its creator fees are locked to the engine through pump.fun fee sharing, admin revoked.
What does the launcher get?
0% of fees. You can still dev buy in the launch transaction, same as on pump.fun.
Where do the fees go?
Every 15s the engine claims them. Once a minute it buys the coin until it holds equal value in coin and SOL. After graduation it deposits both into the coin’s PumpSwap pool and burns the LP in the same transaction. Step by step.
What happens before graduation?
The engine claims and buys on the bonding curve and holds the SOL and tokens. Nothing is deposited until the PumpSwap pool exists.
What does launching cost?
pump.fun’s creation cost, Solana network fees, and your dev buy if you make one. Airlock charges nothing.
Who controls what
Is the engine on-chain?
No. The fee lock and LP burns are on-chain and permanent. The engine is an off-chain keeper that signs with the engine wallet. If it stops, fees pile up on pump.fun and get claimed when it’s back.
Who holds fees before they're deposited?
The engine wallet (57oD…UiHk (opens in a new tab)). Claimed SOL and bought tokens sit there, tracked per coin, until they go into the pool. Until then the keeper controls them.
What if a coin never graduates?
Its SOL and tokens stay in the engine wallet. There’s no pool to deposit into, so nothing is burned.
Can anyone redirect a coin's fees?
No. Fee sharing is set to the engine at launch and the admin is revoked in the same step. Neither the launcher nor Airlock can change it.
Can the liquidity be pulled?
Not the engine’s deposits. Withdrawing needs LP tokens, and the engine burns them in the transaction that mints them. Liquidity other people add is theirs.
Verify
How do I check the fee lock?
Each coin page links its pump.fun fee-sharing config on Solscan. It shows the engine wallet at 100% and the admin revoked.
How do I find the engine's transactions for a coin?
Every engine transaction carries the memo airlock:v1:<claim|buy|deposit+lpburn>:<mint>. The tape on each coin page links every one.
How do I know the LP was burned?
Open any deposit on Solscan. The PumpSwap deposit and the LP burn are in the same transaction.
Can I rebuild the numbers myself?
Yes. The audit script recomputes a coin’s claimed, bought, deposited and burned totals from chain alone: npm run audit -- <mint>.
Does any of the fees go anywhere else?
One thing. The engine pays Solana network fees from a small SOL float. When it drops below 0.1 SOL, a claim keeps back just enough to refill it. Everything else goes to the coin.
Risks
Does a deeper pool mean the price goes up?
No. Burned LP keeps the liquidity in the pool. The price still moves. Sells take SOL out of the pool and can drain most of its SOL side. A deeper pool means each trade moves the price less, both ways.
Where do fees come from?
Trading volume. pump.fun pays creator fees as a cut of trades. No volume, no fees, nothing to deposit.
What else can go wrong?
Most memecoins go to zero. Holders, including a launcher with a dev buy, can sell any time. pump.fun, PumpSwap, Solana or the keeper can break or change. A coin that keeps failing a step gets paused for a manual check; its fees stay locked meanwhile.
Not financial advice. Airlock isn’t affiliated with pump.fun.
$AIRLOCK
What is $AIRLOCK?
The platform coin, launched the same way as every other coin here. All of its own fees go into its own pool, and it also gets 10% of every other coin’s fees for its pool. That SOL is bought and deposited the same way, LP burned. Mint: Dnm2YfhxvxyaEvFtvYz9ej6QPE938QckDBLNeoVHeair (opens in a new tab)
