How StonkFun RWA Launches & Rewards Work
StonkFun brings non-custodial token launches against tokenized stock quotes (xStocks) on Solana, featuring atomic Jito bundle deployment, Airdrop Mode, and immutable Token-2022 holder transfer taxes.
The short answer
StonkFun is a specialized Solana launchpad designed for memecoins raised against tokenized equities (xStocks).
It operates via a non-custodial two-step API flow: the creator’s wallet requests a prepare quote, signs an unsigned payment transaction locally, and submits it to land atomically in a Jito bundle. Creators choose between Standard Mode (classic fee-split coin) and Reward Mode (an immutable 1% or 3% Token-2022 transfer tax paid directly to token holders on every transfer).
The Non-Custodial Launch Architecture
Unlike custodial platforms that demand deployer private keys or holding deposits, StonkFun enforces strict non-custodial separation:
- Step 1 (Prepare): Trenchables calls
POST /launches/preparewith token metadata, logo base64, quote mint, and launch mode. StonkFun validates the parameters and returns a signed quote hash alongside an unsigned payment transaction. - Step 2 (Local Signature): The deployer’s browser wallet signs the payment transaction. No private keys ever leave the browser.
- Step 3 (Submit): The signature is sent to
POST /launches/submit. StonkFun broadcasts the transaction as a guaranteed Jito bundle.
Standard Mode vs Reward Mode
When launching on StonkFun, you choose one of two distinct economic designs:
Standard Mode (Fee Coin)
Deploys a standard SPL token mint on a liquidity pool. The trading fee generated by swaps is split with the creator wallet. Best for teams seeking sustained operational revenue to fund ongoing content and marketing.
Reward Mode (Tax Coin)
Deploys a Solana Token-2022 mint carrying an immutable transfer tax of 100 bps (1%) or 300 bps (3%). That tax is automatically deducted on every transfer and paid directly to current token holders.
Airdrop Mode & Holder Snapshots
StonkFun includes built-in snapshot tools for community building:
- Holding Snapshots: Reads on-chain holder balances at designated slot heights to calculate pro-rata reward distributions.
- Reward Distribution: In Reward Mode, accumulated transfer fees can be swept and disbursed to qualifying holders without requiring complex off-chain balance spreadsheets.
xStock Quote Assets
StonkFun quotes exclusively against tokenized real-world assets:
- xStock Categories: AAPLx, NVDAx, TSLAx, SPYx, and other compliant equity tokens issued via Token-2022.
- Decimals & Routing: Trenchables automatically calculates the appropriate decimals and quote multipliers, ensuring that quotes reflect live equity market values.
Operator Checklist for StonkFun
- Choose Mode Carefully: Reward Mode’s transfer tax is immutable once minted. You cannot alter the tax rate after launch.
- Prepare Sufficient SOL: Ensure your wallet has enough SOL for both the platform launch fee and any optional initial dev buy.
- Verify Logo Specs: Images must be base64 encoded PNG, JPEG, or WebP under 2 MB.
- Check Explorer Receipts: StonkFun returns full Jito bundle receipts upon confirmation, recorded permanently in Trenchables Launch History.
