terms ═ how hotwire works

the deal, in plain words.

Everything you're agreeing to when you launch or trade here, and what you get for it. Updated October 8, 2026.

You keep your keys. Every transaction is built for you and signed in your own wallet. hotwire never holds your funds.
Rules are sealed at launch. A coin's fee, sniper fee, volatility fee, creator share, supply, curve and creator allocation are locked on-chain by Meteora. Nobody can change them, us included. The holders and burn shares, the smallest earning bag and the whale cap are recorded at launch, and hotwire's keeper follows them for the life of the coin.
Supply is fixed. 1 billion tokens, mint authority revoked at launch. Nobody can print more.
Liquidity is locked forever. When a coin graduates, its pool liquidity is permanently locked. It can't be pulled.
Holders get paid. A share of every trade fee goes back to holders in SOL, automatically.

Every buy and sell pays the coin's trade fee (0.25% to 5%, chosen by its creator). Meteora, which runs the curve and pool, keeps 20% of it. The other 80% is split the way the coin is wired:

◆ holders   paid out in SOL, by bag size        set by creator
▲ burn      buys the coin back and burns it     set by creator
● creator   paid in SOL, claim any time         set by creator
· hotwire   runs the platform and the keeper    20% minimum

Each coin's page shows its exact split. For the first minutes after launch a coin can charge a higher anti-sniper fee that falls to the normal fee on a schedule. It's split the same way, so snipers end up paying holders. After graduation, trading moves to a locked Meteora pool and its fees are split by the same wires.

You pick the name, ticker, image, fee, split, anti-sniper fee and an optional dev buy. Launching costs a small amount of SOL in network fees and rent (about 0.03), plus your dev buy. Your dev buy is part of the launch transaction, so nobody can buy before you, and it pays the normal fee, not the sniper fee.

Your share of the fees builds up in SOL from the first trade. Claim it from your coin's page whenever you like, before or after graduation. When the coin graduates you also get a permanently locked share of the pool's liquidity, equal to your fee share, which keeps earning you fees.

Once launched, the coin's settings are permanent. Make sure they're what you want.

The holders share is collected by hotwire's keeper and paid out in SOL, in proportion to your bag. Payouts are automatic: there's nothing to claim, they arrive in your wallet once you're owed at least 0.001 SOL.

To keep rewards fair, your bag has to be held across two snapshots taken about 10 minutes apart. You earn on the smaller of the two, so buying right before a snapshot and dumping right after earns nothing. Bags under 1,000 tokens, and wallets that can't receive SOL (program-owned or multisig vaults), aren't counted.

The burn share buys the coin back from the market and burns it, so supply only goes down. Every payout and burn is a public transaction, linked from the coin's keeper log.

No coins that impersonate a real person, brand or project, or that are built to mislead buyers. No using hotwire for fraud, wash trading or manipulation, and don't use it where it's illegal for you. We can hide coins that break these rules from the site. That doesn't remove them from the blockchain, but they won't be listed here.

hotwire is software provided as is. It runs on Solana and Meteora and depends on wallets and RPC providers we don't control, so things can go wrong, and blockchain transactions can't be reversed or refunded. The keeper carries out payouts and burns on a best-effort basis: timing and amounts depend on trading volume and network conditions. Nothing here is financial advice, and you're responsible for your own taxes. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for losses from using hotwire. We may update these terms; using hotwire after an update means you accept it.
