FAQ

Questions, answered straight

The long version lives in the docs.

What is ironkey?

A pump.fun launchpad where every coin flywheels itself. Each coin's creator fees are claimed by its own Key Vault and put back into the coin: liquidity first, then buybacks, burns, locks, holder rewards or a fund for the next launch, steered by holder votes.

What is a Key Vault?

A keypair made for one pool and held encrypted on the server. It is the pump.fun creator of that coin, so the creator fees land there and nowhere else. The keeper uses it to sign fee claims and every flywheel transaction. Nobody, including the launcher, can withdraw those fees for themselves.

Where do the creator fees go?

Every pass (every 10 minutes by default) the keeper claims fees above 0.02SOL and splits them. Current defaults: 10% to the platform treasury, 40% always to liquidity, and 50% split by the holder vote. With no votes, that 50% goes to liquidity as well.

What can holders vote for?

Five options: Liquidity, Buyback & burn, Buyback & lock, SOL rewards, and the Fair launch fund. The voted share is split in proportion to the token-weighted tally, so a 60/40 vote gets a 60/40 split, not winner takes all.

How does voting work? Does it cost anything?

You sign a message with your wallet. No transaction, no fee. One active vote per wallet per coin; voting again replaces it. Your weight is the balance of your wallet's associated token account, read fresh at every tally, so moving tokens to a second wallet can't count them twice.

What does liquidity mean before graduation?

Before graduation, the liquidity bucket buys on the bonding curve and the tokens go to the coin's locked reserve, which is never sold. That deepens the curve. After graduation it is a real PumpSwap deposit, and the LP tokens are burned in the same transaction so the liquidity can't be pulled.

Who gets SOL rewards?

The top 100 holders above a minimum share of supply, paid pro-rata to their balance. The bonding curve, the PumpSwap pool, the Key Vault and the platform wallet are excluded. Payouts under 0.0001SOL roll over to the next batch instead of being sent as dust.

What is the difference between Fair launch and Instant?

Fair launch is a public pool with a 5, 15, 30 or 60 minute window. Everyone in the pool gets the same price, in the same transaction that creates the coin, and claims at launch. Under the minimum, everyone gets a refund. Instant is the launcher's own deposit only; the coin launches 15 to 60 seconds after it confirms and is not listed before it exists.

What is a child fair launch?

When a coin's launch fund reaches the pool minimum, its launcher or anyone holding at least 1% of supply can open a new fair launch from the coin page. The fund is the child's seed commit, and the child tokens it buys are burned. The child gets its own Key Vault and flywheel. Fund balance unused for 30 days rolls into liquidity.

Can I pull my commit before launch?

No. Commits are final until launch, because a pool people can drain at the last second is a pool that can be gamed. If it doesn't launch, the full commit is refundable from that pool's vault.

How do I check it is real?

Every claim, LP add, burn, lock, reward and seed is an on-chain transaction recorded with its signature. The flywheel feed lists all of them, and each coin page shows its own. Open any signature in an explorer.

What if a coin has no volume?

Then it earns no creator fees and the flywheel has nothing to spin. ironkey recycles fees from real trading; it doesn't invent capital.

What is $IRONKEY?

The platform token, launched on pump.fun. Its mint is set at runtime and shown on the site once it exists. Until then, any address claiming to be it is not.

Is it audited? What are the risks?

No formal audit. Launches, claims and every flywheel action are tested end to end in dry run against mainnet state. Memecoins are volatile and most go to zero, transactions are final, and a flywheel is not a promise of returns. Only put in what you are fine losing.
