Solana · the fees go back in
The fees go back in the pool.
Every trade pays a fee. The fee goes back in as liquidity. The water only ever gets deeper.
Six facts, no jargon. The arithmetic is further down, worked through with live numbers.
Creator fees are the one lever a plain mint gives you. Instead of being claimed and spent, they get added back to the liquidity pool. The pool gets deeper every time somebody trades.
Liquidity added this way has its receipt destroyed on the way in. It cannot be pulled back out afterwards by anyone. That is the whole difference between deep and temporarily deep.
Pool divided by supply. It is what you can actually sell into, and unlike price it does not care how anybody feels this afternoon.
A sell is a trade, a trade pays a fee, and the fee becomes liquidity. Somebody heading for the exit leaves the water deeper on the way out than they found it.
How far the cap has run ahead of the pool decides how much goes back in as liquidity and how much goes to buyback. The wider the gap, the more goes to depth.
The pool is not a claim, it is an account. Every figure on this page is read off it live, or is arithmetic on figures that were.
Read live off the pool every eight seconds. Nothing here is typed in by hand, and nothing here is a guess except the one row that says est.
Every reading this tab has taken since you opened it, eight seconds apart. It starts empty on purpose — there is no history to load, and drawing one would mean inventing it.
A constant-product pool holds tokens on one side and SOL on the other, and multiplies them into a number it refuses to let change. Trading slides value along that curve. Adding liquidity is the only thing that grows it.
Both sides of a constant-product pool are always worth the same. That is not an assumption, it is forced by holding x · y = k at a price of quote ÷ base. Every pour raises k permanently.
This is what depth actually buys you. A buy moves the price by the trade divided by the SOL side. A sell moves it by the trade over that side plus the trade. Deeper water, smaller number.

Exact for constant product, which is what pump.fun and Raydium's AMM use. Concentrated-liquidity pools behave differently. Excludes the trading fee itself, so read these as the floor on what a trade costs, not the whole of it.
Liquidity that goes in this way arrives with its receipt already burned. There is no withdraw, no key that unlocks it later, and no version of this where somebody wakes up and pulls the pool out from under you. The only thing that ever happens to the water is more of it.
depth = pool / supply
Four lines, worked through with whatever the pool says right now. No modelling, no assumptions, and nothing you cannot check yourself on Dexscreener.
Every input above is a live figure off the pool. The fee rate is the one constant, and it is printed here rather than hidden: — of traded volume.
Fees are a rate, so the pool has a filling speed. At the volume it is doing right now, this is what goes in and how long the water takes to double.
Holding today's volume flat, which it will not be. A day of real volume rewrites every line here, which is why it is read live rather than printed once and left.
Fees at the rate above, the pour share applied, added to the pool as it stands right now. This is multiplication, not a forecast — it says what the arithmetic gives, not what will happen.

Pour share —. The remainder goes to buyback and reserve, which are not counted as depth here.
Most tokens claim their fees and spend them on an afternoon of green candles. The SOL leaves, the chart twitches, and by evening there is nothing left to point at. Here the same stream turns into pool depth that cannot be spent back, because the receipt for it no longer exists.
A wide gap pours hardest. When the cap has run a long way ahead of the pool, almost everything goes into depth instead of buyback. Getting ahead of yourself is the expensive way to make the pool bigger, and it works anyway.
A fork starts dry. The idea is four sentences long and anyone is welcome to it. What they cannot copy is a pool with months of one-way history in it. Depth takes exactly as long to build as it took.
Head is market cap over pool. It picks the split, and nothing else does.
Right now the pool reads —.
The long version. Read it once and you know exactly what you are holding.
On pump.fun the token is a plain SPL mint. No transfer tax, no hooks, no clever transfer logic available to anyone. The one real lever is the creator fee stream: a share of every trade, claimable on-chain. Most projects claim it and spend it. This one claims it and pours it back in.
Depth is the pool measured against the supply it has to serve:
depth = pool_liquidity / circulating_supply
It is the honest version of a price floor. Not a promise that the number cannot fall, but a measure of how much real money is sitting there to be sold into. Price is an opinion polled every second. Depth is a balance.
Head is market cap divided by pooled liquidity. A high head means the cap has run a long way ahead of the water underneath it, which is exactly when a chart is most fragile. So the wider the gap, the larger the share of fees that goes back in as liquidity rather than buyback. Buying back a token that is already far ahead of its pool is the least useful thing to do with the money.
Adding liquidity gives you an LP token, and that token is the claim on the liquidity. Keep it and the depth is a loan. Burn it and the depth is a fact. Anything added by this project is added with the receipt destroyed, which is the only version of the sentence "it cannot be pulled out" that means anything.
Depth, peak depth, pool, head, supply, cap, price, volume and age are read live off the pool and are as true as Dexscreener is. Fees and the projection table are arithmetic on those live figures at the fee rate printed above, and are labelled est. wherever they appear.
Peak depth is a genuine high-water mark of a real number, but it is kept in your own browser and only covers what this browser has watched. It is not a chain record, and it is not presented as one.
Fee claiming and the pour itself are done by hand, not by a program. There is no permissionless crank here and this page does not pretend there is one. What it does is show you the pool, and the pool is the thing that either got deeper or did not.
Every token with a creator fee has the same decision to make once the SOL lands. There are only really two answers, and they leave very different things behind.
| spent on buy pressure | poured into the pool | |
|---|---|---|
| what happens | market buys until the SOL runs out | added as liquidity, receipt burned |
| lasts | hours, sometimes minutes | permanently |
| who can undo it | the next seller | nobody |
| effect on slippage | none | falls, every time |
| visible as | a candle | an account balance |
| after a quiet week | nothing to point at | still there |
Neither column is a criticism of anyone. Buy pressure is a real thing that really does move a chart. It just does not accumulate, and this project would rather accumulate.
Written down because a page that only lists upsides is not telling you anything. These are the honest failure modes, in rough order of how likely they are.
The entire mechanism is powered by fees, and fees come from volume. With no volume there are no fees, nothing gets poured, and the pool sits exactly where it started. Depth cannot fall, but "cannot fall" and "will rise" are different sentences and only the first one is guaranteed.
These are separate numbers. Deeper liquidity means a given sell moves the price less; it does not mean the price goes up. You can be holding a token whose pool has doubled and whose price has halved, and nothing about that would be a malfunction.
Claiming fees and adding them back is done by hand, not by a program. That means it depends on somebody actually doing it, at a frequency nobody has promised. There is no permissionless crank and this page has never claimed one. Judge it on the pool balance, which either moved or did not.
The creator share is set by the launchpad, not by this project. If it changes, every figure on this page that depends on it changes with it. The rate is printed on the page rather than buried so you can check it against the source yourself.
Every live number here is read from their public API in your browser. If they are slow, wrong, or down, this page is slow, wrong, or shows dashes. It holds the last good reading rather than showing a zero, because a failed request is not a balance of nothing. The chain is the authority; this page is a convenience.
The mechanism is real and the arithmetic checks out, and neither of those makes it an investment. It can go to zero volume and stay there. Nothing on this page is advice, and the only reason to be here is that you find it interesting.
No, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something. Depth is how much money is sitting there to trade against. It sets how far a given order moves the price, not which direction it moves. What it does buy you is that the exit gets cheaper for everyone, including whoever is exiting.
Not the part added this way. Adding liquidity issues an LP token, and that token is the claim on it. Burn the token and the claim stops existing. That is the whole trick, and it is checkable on-chain rather than something you have to take on trust.
Because the supply is in the trillions and pool-divided-by-supply is otherwise a number with eight leading zeros that nobody can read or compare. Per million is the same figure with the decimal point somewhere useful.
Buyback and reserve, in the proportions on the split table, decided by how far the cap has run ahead of the pool. The projection table only counts the pour share as depth, so the numbers there are the conservative reading rather than the flattering one.
No. It is a high-water mark of a real number, but it lives in your own browser and only covers what your browser has watched. Open the page somewhere else and it starts again. It says "seen from here" for that reason.
Because everything here is checkable in about thirty seconds, so overclaiming would only work until somebody clicked the pool link. It is cheaper to be straight about it.
Not jargon for its own sake. Each of these appears in the arithmetic above and means exactly one thing.
