How it works
How Stonkup works
Stonkup helps you discover startups on Kickstarter and rally a community around the ones you believe in. Every fee Stonkup charges on a startup's token goes to that startup's treasury.
What Stonkup is
Stonkup is a discovery platform for startups raising money on Kickstarter. You can browse campaigns, follow the ones you like and talk with other supporters. Each startup can also have one community token: an optional way for supporters to gather around a project.
Every coin launches on StonkFun with the startup's own fund wallet as its creator. StonkFun pays the creator's share of its trading fee straight into that wallet, and the one-off launch fee goes there too. Stonkup keeps none of it.
Discovery first
Campaign details, funding progress and backers in one place.
One token per startup
Each startup gets a single community token, so its supporters gather in one place.
Fees fund the startup
The launch fee and StonkFun's creator share go to the startup's fund wallet, locked until its founders verify.
Discovering startups
Campaigns are imported from public Kickstarter listing pages. On this site, imported campaigns are approved automatically. Funding progress, backer counts and deadlines come from Kickstarter and are labelled as Kickstarter data.
Trending ranks startups by Kickstarter momentum, recent activity, community engagement and token activity. On the Discover page you can also search, and filter by category, funding progress, location or whether a startup already has a token.

Demo listings are fictional startups used for development and demos. They are clearly badged and never link to Kickstarter, so you can tell them apart from real campaigns at a glance.
Creating a token
Anyone signed in with a wallet can launch the community token for a startup, as long as the startup does not have one yet. The campaign must be live or successfully funded and approved by a Stonkup admin. Each startup can only ever have one token.
Every coin launches on a bonding curve: a formula that sets the price from what is already in the curve. The price rises as people buy and falls as they sell, so nobody has to set a price by hand. Each coin is a normal StonkFun coin, paired with SOL, on a Raydium LaunchLab curve, the Solana program that runs the curve and holds its SOL. A new coin starts at about $2,809 market cap. When its curve has raised 85 SOL, at about $41,281 market cap, the coin graduates to its own Raydium pool and keeps trading on StonkFun.
Launching takes one wallet approval: a single transaction creates the coin on StonkFun, with the startup's fund wallet as its creator, and pays the launch fee into that wallet. The coin shows up on stonkfun.xyz within a minute or two and trades both there and here. Every coin has a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens. Each buy and sell here is a trade on the coin's curve that your wallet approves, and the minimum you agree to receive is enforced on-chain.

Example: the first buy of 1 SOL
Each curve trade pays 1.25% in fees: StonkFun's 1% plus Raydium's 0.25%. On the first buy of 1 SOL, 0.01 SOL goes to StonkFun, which pays the creator's share of it to the startup's fund wallet. 0.0025 SOL goes to Raydium as its own fee (not startup money), 0.9875 SOL goes into the curve, and the buyer receives about 34.2m tokens.
Fees
Every coin's creator on StonkFun is its startup's own fund wallet, a Solana wallet Stonkup makes for that startup at launch. Money reaches it in two ways. The launch fee of 0.02 SOL is paid by the launcher straight into the fund wallet, in the same transaction that creates the coin. After that, StonkFun charges a 1% fee on every curve trade and pays the creator's share of it into the fund wallet as SOL, every minute or two while the coin trades. StonkFun pays creator shares voluntarily and can change how it does.
Stonkup takes no fee of its own on StonkFun coins. Every payment into a fund wallet is recorded in the startup's treasury ledger with its Solana signature, and anyone can check the wallet on-chain. Each payment stays locked for 180 days and until the startup's founders have verified with Stonkup. Stonkup pledges that money to the startup's Kickstarter campaign.
Every curve trade pays StonkFun's fee on-chain, wherever it is made: on stonkfun.xyz, here, or through another app. Stonkup reads each payment into the fund wallet back from the chain, so every ledger entry matches a real Solana transaction.
Raydium's LaunchLab, which runs the curve, adds its own 0.25% on every trade. That is a third-party fee. It goes to Raydium and is never startup money, and neither is the part of StonkFun's fee that StonkFun keeps. StonkFun charges nothing to launch. Besides the launch fee, the launcher only pays a little SOL for Solana account rent and the network fee.

Founder verification
Fees collect in a startup's treasury whether or not its founders know about Stonkup yet. To receive them, the founders prove they run the Kickstarter campaign. Founders start from the Verify this startup link on their startup's page.

A person checks it
A Stonkup admin looks for the code on Kickstarter and checks your details by hand. Nothing is automatic.

Approval
The startup shows as verified, and unlocked fees can be released to its payout address.
Only one request per startup can be open at a time, and nothing about the token, its holders or its treasury changes while a request is being reviewed. That way nobody can take over a startup just by claiming to be its founder.
Transparency
Every fee allocation is written to an append-only ledger, one chain per startup treasury. Each entry stores a fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) of its own details plus the fingerprint of the entry before it. Changing, deleting or reordering any past entry breaks every fingerprint after it, so tampering is easy to spot. Amounts are never edited; only an entry's status moves on, for example from locked to released.
The transparency dashboard re-checks every chain and reconciles each fee charged on a launch or trade against exactly one allocation. Each startup also has its own treasury page listing every allocation.

Solana mainnet
This site runs on Solana mainnet. Every coin is a real StonkFun coin on a Raydium LaunchLab curve that trades on stonkfun.xyz and here, and every launch and trade is paid in real SOL.
Every launch and trade is a Solana transaction that your wallet approves, and you can look each one up on a public Solana explorer. StonkFun pays each coin's creator share into its startup's fund wallet, and every payment into a fund wallet is recorded in Stonkup's treasury ledger with its Solana signature, which you can browse in the ledger explorer.
The demo wallet
The demo wallet is not offered on Solana mainnet. To launch or trade here, connect your own Solana wallet with Connect wallet at the top of the page.
On the simulated network, the demo wallet lets you try Stonkup without installing a Solana wallet, using a throwaway keypair your browser creates. It never holds anything of value.
