Tokenomics
Every token launched on HOP has the same shape. There are no presales, no team allocations and no hidden switches; this page is the whole list.
Supply
- Total supply
- 1,000,000,000
- Decimals
- 9
- In the pool at launch
- 100 %
- Creator, team, treasury
- 0
- Mint authority
- burned at launch
The entire supply goes into the pool in the launch transaction. A creator who wants to own some buys it like everyone else, from the pool, at the public price.
Liquidity
The pool position belongs to the token’s vault, a program account with a fixed set of instructions. None of them sends liquidity to a wallet. It can leave a pool only inside a hop, and a hop ends with the same liquidity in another pool at the same dollar price.
This is what “locked liquidity” means on HOP. It is stronger than a timelock, because it never expires, and more useful than burned liquidity, because it can still follow the story.
Holder rewards
The largest share after the platform goes to holders: 0.5 % of every trade, in the stock the token is paired with. The rewards accumulate in a program account and are paid out pro rata to holders by the keeper.
Rewards are paid in whatever stock the token was paired with when the fee was earned. If a token spends a month paired with Nvidia and then hops to Tesla, holders receive Nvidia for that month and Tesla afterwards.
Snapshots exclude the pool, the vault and the reward account itself, and skip balances too small to be worth the transfer.
Creator earnings
The creator earns 0.1 % of every trade, in the paired stock, and can collect it at any time from the creator panel. There is no other creator income: no allocation, no unlock schedule, no fee on hops.
Hop pot
0.1 % of every trade stays in the vault. When the vault hops, it sells one stock and buys another, and those swaps cost a little slippage. The pot pays for it, so the token’s dollar price comes out of a hop unchanged. A token that trades a lot builds a bigger pot and hops more freely; one that has never traded cannot hop until the vault holds enough.
Cost of a launch
- Fee to HOP
- none
- Account rent
- about 0.06 SOL
- Network fees
- a few cents
- Stock deposit
- optional, Seeded launches only
The rent pays for the pool and vault accounts on Solana. HOP earns from trading, not from launching.
Trading fee: 2 %
Every pool charges a flat 2 % on buys and sells, collected in the stock, fixed when the pool is created. It is split like this:
- Platform
- Runs the keeper, the indexer and the site.
- 0.9 %
- Holders
- Paid out pro rata in the paired stock.
- 0.5 %
- Meteora
- The DEX's own protocol fee.
- 0.4 %
- Creator
- Sent to the creator on every fee claim.
- 0.1 %
- Hop pot
- Stays in the vault and pays the slippage of a hop.
- 0.1 %
Of every trade, 2 % is fee and the remaining 98 % is the trade. Percentages are of the trade, not of the fee.
