FAQ
Straight answers.
What is STONKFUNBOT?
A place to launch and trade tokens on StonkFun. You sign in, get a wallet of your own, and launch from the site — it does the on-chain work, and your wallet ends up as the token’s creator. There is an X bot too, for when you’d rather not open a tab.
What is StonkFun?
A Solana launchpad where every token is paired against another token — commonly a tokenized stock like GMEX (GME) or NVDAX (NVIDIA) — instead of against SOL. Each launch opens a one-sided Raydium market. STONKFUNBOT is an independent client of their public API.
What is an agent wallet?
A Solana keypair created for your account when you sign in, used to pay for and sign your launches and trades. It makes you the creator on chain. The address is shown in your hub and nowhere else; the secret key is encrypted at rest and held on STONKFUNBOT’s server — see the trade-off in Security.
Is this non-custodial?
No, and we will not describe it that way. Your agent wallet’s private key is generated and held by our server, encrypted at rest. That is custody, and it means you are trusting the operator and the server’s security.
What is true, and what we actually build for, is privacy and controlled execution: your wallet address and balance are never published anywhere — not in a reply, not in a URL, not to any third party — and nothing is ever signed except the specific transaction you asked for, after it has been decoded and bounded. You can also export your key at any time; it is a copy, not a handover, so taking a backup costs you nothing.
How much SOL do I need?
Whatever the bot quotes for your specific launch, plus the 0.1 SOL service fee and a little for network fees. Around 0.5 SOL is a comfortable starting balance, but treat that as a suggestion — the quote is the real number, and the bot will tell you if you’re short before spending anything.
Why won’t you just state a minimum?
Because we can’t state one honestly. StonkFun prices each launch at request time inside the payment transaction rather than publishing a fixed fee. Printing a number here would mean guessing, and a guess about someone’s money is worse than a clear “we quote it live”.
What is the STONKFUNBOT service fee?
0.1 SOL per successful launch, transferred from your agent wallet after your token is live. It is separate from anything StonkFun charges. If your launch fails, you are not charged it.
What share of creator fees do I get?
StonkFun’s standard launch mode — the one STONKFUNBOT uses — splits the pool’s 1% trading fees 50/50 between the creator and the platform. Your wallet is the creator, so that half accrues to you and you claim it from the token page. It accrues only when people actually trade the token.
Where does the token launch, and what do I get?
On StonkFun, into a one-sided Raydium pool quoted against the pair you chose. You get a fixed-supply token with a live market and the creator fee position. You can optionally take a dev buy of up to 2.5% of supply as the pool’s first trade.
Where do the charts come from?
From the chart provider named on the tab, rendering its own indexed history in an embedded frame. StonkFun publishes no price history at all, so there is nothing here for us to draw — and drawing a line from the one snapshot we do hold would be inventing data on a page about money.
The GeckoTerminal tab charts the token’s actual DEX pool, keyed on the pool address StonkFun reports. If StonkFun reports no pool address, you get a note saying so rather than a chart of some other market. The TradingView tab charts the underlying listed equity behind an xStock quote pair — the real stock, not your token — and it only appears when the paired asset is an xStock.
What is the green blob?
The drifting field of dots behind the headline on the homepage. It is the site’s live activity pulse, and it is driven by one real number: StonkFun’s total market cap, the same figure printed as text in the stats strip below it.
Concretely: the dots are sampled from a halftone image, and the total market cap is read on a logarithmic scale to set the field’s intensity. A quiet market leaves it near-still and cool grey; as the number grows the field gets denser, faster and greener, easing toward each new value over a couple of seconds rather than snapping. It refreshes with the rest of the live data, every 60 seconds.
Two honest caveats. It is decoration — it encodes one figure that is also printed as plain text, carries nothing you cannot read elsewhere on the page, and is hidden from screen readers. And it is not a chart: it shows a level, not a history, because we have no history to show. If your browser asks for reduced motion, or JavaScript is off, it simply isn’t there and nothing on the page is lost.
Can I check my wallet balance?
In your hub, yes — that is the only place it is shown. The bot will not answer a balance question on X, even if you are the one asking: a public reply carrying your address and what it holds also tells everyone else how much is worth taking an interest in. Ask it there and it points you back here.
What happens if a launch fails?
It depends on how it failed, and the bot distinguishes the cases rather than guessing. If StonkFun confirms nothing was charged, you can simply try again. If a payment landed but the launch needs manual recovery, the bot tells you not to retry — retrying there would mint a second token. Either way, no service fee is charged for a launch that didn’t succeed.
How do referrals work?
Launch once, and the confirmation screen gives you a link. Anyone who launches through it credits you automatically — when their launch succeeds, 30% of our 0.1 SOL fee — 0.03 SOL — goes to your agent wallet. One level only, no self-referrals. The link carries an account code rather than your handle, so it keeps working if you ever rename. This is STONKFUNBOT’s own rebate, not a StonkFun program.
Can I bridge from another chain?
You can get a live cross-chain quote today on the Bridge page — Solana out to Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, BNB Chain or Hyperliquid, priced through Relay with our fee shown separately. Executing the bridge from here is not built yet, and the page says so rather than presenting a button that cannot finish. Until then the quote tells you what a route costs before you commit to it anywhere.
When I swap or trade, when does it actually sign?
Never before you confirm. Every buy or sell on Swap or a token page is two steps: a quote, then a separate confirm. The quote shows the exact amount, minimum received, price impact, fee and route — and expires rather than being honoured stale. Nothing is signed, and nothing leaves your wallet, until you press confirm on that exact quote. This is real SOL and a real token with no undo once it lands on-chain, and most tokens on a permissionless launchpad go to zero — only trade what you are willing to lose.
Is this financial advice?
No. Launching a token is not an investment and nothing here suggests you’ll make money. Creator fees only exist if people trade. Most tokens go to zero. Only spend what you’re willing to lose.
Still curious?
The terminal answers questions about any token, quote pair or wallet from live data, and Privacy & data spells out exactly what is stored.
