Overview

Clam is a creator-rewards launchpad. Someone pays 0.1 SOL and Clam launches their coin on pump.fun from a shared wallet, holding the creator fees for a named social creator to claim later through a private link. No dev buy, no bundle, no escrow of the creator's own funds — just a clean launch and a pot of SOL pointed at the person who earned it.

The two halves of Clam are: Launch, where a coin goes live on pump.fun; and Claim, where the creator the fees belong to proves who they are and collects. Everything settles as ordinary SOL transfers on Solana mainnet.

Launching a coin

A launch starts on the Launch page. You name the coin, pick a ticker, drop in artwork, and name the creator whose fees the launch will reward. Then you pay 0.1 SOL and Clam takes care of the rest.

1. 01

   Name the coin

   Give the coin a name and a ticker (the $ symbol), and drop in the artwork — a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF up to 5 MB. There is no dev buy and no bundle; the coin launches clean.

2. 02

   Add the creator

   Pick the platform — TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch or Reddit — and type the creator's handle. Their profile picture and link show up live. An optional link field lets you add an X profile, website or any URL.

3. 03

   Pay 0.1 SOL

   Hit the green Pay button and approve 0.1 SOL in Phantom. The full amount lands in the Clam launch wallet and Clam detects the payment on-chain automatically — no transaction IDs to paste.

4. 04

   Clam launches on pump.fun

   Once the payment is detected, Clam queues the launch. The coin is created on pump.fun from the Clam launch wallet, and the creator fees are held for the named creator to clam.

The Clam launch wallet

The 0.1 SOL you pay does not go to a contract or an escrow. It goes straight to the Clam launch wallet — a single Solana wallet that pays for every pump.fun launch on the platform. That wallet is the one that creates the coin on-chain.

The launch wallet is owned and managed by Turnkey. Its private key was generated inside Turnkey's secure enclave and never leaves it — not Clam, not the team, not anyone can read or export it. Clam can only ask Turnkey to sign a launch or a transfer; it can never touch the key itself. That means the wallet cannot be drained by a server compromise the way a raw-key wallet could.

Clam detects your payment automatically by watching the wallet on-chain. There is nothing to paste and nothing to confirm manually — once the 0.1 SOL lands, the launch is queued.

Turnkey signing

Turnkey is the custody layer Clam uses for signing. When a launch or payout needs a signature, Clam sends the unsigned transaction to Turnkey's secure enclave, Turnkey signs it inside the hardware, and only the signed result comes back. The private key is generated inside the enclave and never leaves it — not Clam, not you, not anyone can read or export it.

The proof panel above runs a live check: Clam signs a real request to Turnkey every time the page loads, and shows the organisation, wallet count and the launch wallet address when one exists.

Creator rewards

When a coin launches, the creator fees it generates are held for the creator you named on the launch form. That creator collects them through a private claim link — they never need an account on Clam.

If nobody claims, the fees just sit there. Nothing auto-sweeps, nothing expires, and nothing is locked. The creator can clam whenever they want — or never.

Claim links

Each creator reward gets its own secret claim link at creation. That link is the only key to that reward. It shows the creator their handle, their amount, and a form for the Solana wallet they want paid. It cannot list the coin, it cannot touch another creator's share, and it stops working for changes once the reward is claimed.

Because there is no TikTok or X sign-in here, ownership rests on two things working together: you deliver the claim link privately to the account you meant to reward, and the claimant's profile link is recorded on the reward. If the wrong person ever claims, you see it before a single lamport moves.

Social profiles & pictures

Clam supports TikTok, X, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch and Reddit. Type a handle and the creator's profile picture, handle and platform badge appear live on the launch form, the Coins timeline and the generated share cards.

Profile pictures are fetched through Clam's own avatar proxy rather than straight from each platform, so they load reliably everywhere — on X, TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram and Twitch. When a platform hides a picture, Clam falls back to a clean black initials avatar so it never looks broken.

Share cards

At submission, Clam generates two share-card images for every launch: a 1200×630 wide card (for X, Reddit, YouTube and links) and a 1080×1080 square card (for Instagram, TikTok and Twitch). Each card shows the coin artwork or ticker tile, the “LAUNCHING ON PUMP.FUN VIA CLAM” label, the coin name, the black $ticker pill, the creator's profile picture with their platform dot, their handle, “Creator fees held to clam”, and clamrewards.com.

These are stored as preview_wide and preview_square on the launch, and appear on the Coins timeline and dashboard so previews look right when a card is shared.

Coins (timeline)

The Coins page shows every approved and published launch, grouped by the day each one goes live. Each card carries a countdown to go-live, the launch status, the coin name and ticker, and the creator's profile picture, handle and a link to their profile.

When an admin publishes a launch, that creator also appears in the social cluster on the homepage — a row of live creators across every supported platform.

Admin review

Every submitted launch goes through review before it goes live. Admins (granted by role, not by password) see the review dashboard with filters for pending, approved, rejected and published launches. From there an admin can approve a launch, reject it with a reason, schedule its go-live time, and publish it to the Coins timeline and the homepage social cluster.

Admin access is role-based through a separate roles table — never a hardcoded password or a client-side check. The admin dashboard also shows the live launch-wallet balance and every incoming SOL payment as it lands, with the matched launch name and a Solscan link.

Fees

Launching costs a flat 0.1 SOL, paid once. The full amount goes to the Clam launch wallet and covers the pump.fun launch. Clam itself charges nothing beyond that. The only other cost is the Solana network fee on each transfer — a fraction of a cent.

Dev supply & fees

A small portion of each coin's supply is set aside as the dev supply. That supply is what funds Clam itself — it is the fuel that keeps the launchpad running, and it is spent transparently on the things Clam needs to grow.

Dev fees are used to market and pushClam and the coins launched on it: paid promotions, creator outreach, trend-buying and visibility on TikTok, X, YouTube and Reddit. They also cover the real costs of running the platform — server infrastructure, the Solana RPC, the Turnkey subscription, image hosting for share cards and avatars, and the pump.fun launch fees that the 0.1 SOL does not fully cover. Nothing is taken as a silent cut; every dev fee either goes back into pushing a coin or into keeping Clam online.

The rest of the dev supply is not for spending. 10% of the total dev supply is locked for 69 years in a time-locked wallet that cannot be moved, traded or claimed before the lock expires. This lock is intentional and extreme — it proves to launchers, creators and traders that Clam is not here to dump on its own coins. The locked supply is a long-term alignment signal, not a treasury to raid, and it sits completely out of reach of the team, the launch wallet and any admin.

Payments

Everything settles as an ordinary SOL transfer on Solana mainnet. The launch payment is a 0.1 SOL transfer to the Clam launch wallet, detected on-chain automatically. Creator payouts are plain SOL transfers signed by the paying wallet. There is no program, no escrow and no middleman to resolve — the transaction signature on Solscan is the receipt.

Accounts & auth

You do not need an account to launch. Anonymous users can submit a coin, upload artwork, pay and use automatic payment detection. Signing up is optional — logged-in users get a dashboard to track their launches and review statuses. Admins are granted by role, not by password.

Google sign-in is available; email sign-up works too. Whichever you pick, your session is the only thing that changes — the launch flow itself works identically with or without an account.

Risks

• Payouts are final. Transactions are signed by a wallet and are irreversible. Check the wallet address on each claimed reward before you pay.
• Claiming rests on the link. Anyone holding a claim link can fill it in. Send links privately, and check the recorded profile link before paying.
• Handles are not verified. Anyone can create a coin with any name and name any handle, including one that impersonates a real person. Names are not unique and are not vetted — check the coin's mint address, which is the only identifier that cannot be copied.
• The launch wallet is shared. Every launch pays into the same Clam launch wallet. With a raw key, a server compromise could drain it; with Turnkey, the key is sealed and cannot be read.
