Overview
DogePad is a launchpad on pump.fun, on Solana. A coin launched here trades against $DOGE and carries a tax on every trade, paid in $DOGE. At launch its creator picks one of four routes for that tax, and the route cannot be changed afterwards.
For three of the routes the engine claims the tax on a fixed clock and sends it where the launcher said, while 10% buys back and burns $DOGEPAD, the launchpad's own token. The fourth, holder rewards, is run by pump.fun itself and nothing else is taken from it.
The $DOGE pair
Every coin on the launchpad trades against $DOGE (set at launch), not SOL. That makes each one a sink for it:
- Buy pressure. Buying any coin here means buying $DOGE first.
- Less float. The $DOGE paid into a coin sits in its bonding curve and then in its PumpSwap pool. Graduated liquidity is locked for good.
- Paid in $DOGE. The tax is collected in $DOGE and paid out in $DOGE. The engine does not convert it to SOL or stables (except a tiny slice for network fees when an engine wallet runs dry, see engine wallets).
DogePad is an independent project. It is not affiliated with the Dogecoin Foundation.
The tax
pump.fun lets a coin carry its own creator fee when it is paired with a token instead of SOL. Coins on DogePad are paired with $DOGE and launch with a 1% tax, on top of pump.fun's own fee (2.25% all-in). Buys and sells both pay it, on the bonding curve and on PumpSwap after graduation.
The tax is set when the coin is created and cannot be changed afterwards. It is paid in $DOGE to the coin's creator, which is the coin's engine wallet.
The cycle
One clock runs every coin that is not a holder-reward coin. Every 3 minutes, for each coin:
- The coin's engine wallet claims the unclaimed tax.
- 90% goes down the coin's route: paid to the wallet, paid to the split, or spent on one buy of the coin that is then burned.
- 10% is spent on one buy of $DOGEPAD, and what that buy brings in is burned.
A pot under the minimum waits and joins the next cycle. A payout or a buy that fails stays in the engine wallet and is retried on the next cycle. Nothing is skipped quietly: the ledger shows rolled-over and failed cycles too.
The 10% burn
10% of the tax a coin already collects buys $DOGEPAD, the launchpad's own token, on the open market, and what comes back is burned. It is not an extra fee on trades, and nobody keeps it.
- $50 of tax sends $5 to the $DOGEPAD buyback and $45 down the coin's route.
- $100 of tax sends $10 and $90.
- $1,000 of tax sends $100 and $900.
Until $DOGEPAD is live, that share is held in each coin's engine wallet as owed. It is never re-split and never paid out, and it is spent on the first cycle after the token launches.
Holder-reward coins are the exception. pump.fun makes the holder rewards account the coin's creator, permanently, so all of the tax goes to holders.
The four routes
- To me. 90% of the tax is paid to one wallet in $DOGE every 3 minutes. It defaults to the wallet that launched the coin.
- Split. 90% of the tax is divided between up to 5 wallets by the shares set at launch. Each cycle is one transfer per wallet.
- Buyback and burn. 90% of the tax is spent on one buy of the coin, on its bonding curve or on PumpSwap once it graduates, and what that buy brings in is burned.
- Holder rewards. The coin is created with pump.fun's own holder rewards. pump.fun collects the tax and pays the coin's holders. The engine has no step, nothing goes to $DOGEPAD, and it is permanent.
The route is stored when the launch is made and shown on the coin's page. The engine reads it every cycle; there is no way to edit it afterwards.
Launching a coin
Connect a Solana wallet on the launch page, add a name, a ticker and a logo, and send the launch SOL. That covers the pump.fun create and a small permanent gas reserve for the coin's engine wallet. An optional dev buy is paid in SOL, swapped to $DOGE, bought right after the create and sent to your wallet. If a launch fails, the deposit is refunded.
Engine wallets
Except for holder rewards, every coin gets a fresh wallet that is its creator on pump.fun. That is what lets the engine claim the tax and pay it out. The wallet's key is encrypted at rest and is only used to claim, pay out, buy and burn. It needs a little SOL for fees; when it runs low, a small slice of the tax it just claimed is swapped to SOL so the cycles never stop.
This means the tax passes through a wallet the launchpad runs before it reaches you. Every claim and every payout is a public transaction in the ledger.
Ledger
Every cycle of every coin is a line on the ledger with its claim, payout or buy-and-burn, and the $DOGEPAD buy and burn. The ledger starts empty. An empty window does not mint a placeholder burn.
Roadmap
Payouts every 3 minutes for as long as coins trade. More routes when pump.fun supports them for token pairs. There is no token sale and no airdrop.

Important notes
This site explains the product. Buybacks and burns depend on trading volume; no volume means no tax and no burns. Digital assets can lose value. DogePad is an independent project and is not affiliated with the Dogecoin Foundation, Solana Labs or pump.fun. Nothing here is financial, legal, or tax advice. It is useless. That is the point.
