How the pot works

The pot

Each coin has its own pot, in SOL. A share of the fees from every trade of that coin goes into it, so a busy coin fills its pot faster than a quiet one.

The share of fees that goes to the pot is not set yet, so this page gives no number for it.

The draw

Every few minutes the coin draws. The whole pot is paid to one holder, and the next pot starts again from 0.00. How often a coin draws is shown on its page.

A pot too small to pay out is not paid. It carries over to the next draw.

Your share

Every holder has a weight: the tokens they hold times the time they have held them. Your share of the draw is your weight divided by the weight of every holder together.

Weight builds up the longer you hold. Two wallets with the same amount do not have the same share if one has held for a day and the other for ten minutes.

Selling

Any sell resets your time held to zero, so your weight starts again from nothing. The rule is the same for every holder, the creator included.

Splitting a position across wallets gives no edge. Each wallet counts its own amount and its own time, so the parts add up to the same weight as the whole, or less.

Checking a draw

Each draw publishes its inputs: the holder snapshot, the weights and the block it was drawn from. Anyone can take those inputs and work out the same holder.

Where coins trade

Coins launch on pump.fun and trade there from the first trade. You do not need to trade on scratch to hold a coin or to be in its draw.

What is live

$scratch is live. Its trading fees fill its pot, and the pot is paid to one holder every few minutes.

Meme coins can go to zero. Not financial advice.
