Tokens

How do I create a token?

See Creating a Token guide. You need:

• Solana wallet
• ~0.5 SOL
• Token image
• Token name and symbol

Can I change my token after creation?

No. Name, symbol, and image are permanent. Double-check before creating!

What happens if my token doesn't reach 85 SOL?

It stays on the bonding curve indefinitely. You can still:

• Trade it
• Claim accumulated fees (after 24h)
• Keep building community

How long until token graduates?

Depends on trading volume. Could be:

• Fast: 1-6 hours (viral tokens)
• Normal: 12-48 hours
• Never: Most tokens don't graduate

Can I delete a token?

No. Tokens are permanent once created. You can stop promoting it, but can't delete it.

Trading

How do I buy tokens?

1. Connect wallet
2. Find token
3. Enter SOL amount
4. Click "Buy"
5. Approve in wallet

See Trading Guide for details.

Why did my transaction fail?

Common reasons:

• Insufficient SOL balance
• Slippage too low
• Network congestion
• Wallet not connected

Try increasing slippage to 1-3%.

What is slippage?

Price movement between clicking "Buy" and transaction confirming. Set higher slippage (1-5%) for volatile tokens.

Can I cancel a transaction?

Only before it confirms on-chain. Once confirmed, it's permanent.

How do I sell tokens?

Same process as buying, but click "Sell" tab and enter token amount.

Wallet

All Solana wallets:

• [x] Phantom (recommended)
• [x] Backpack

Are there hidden fees?

No. Only fees are:

• 1.75% platform fee (shown before trade)
• ~0.00001 SOL Solana network fee

Why is the fee different than expected?

Slippage can make final price different. This isn't a fee, just price movement.

Graduation

What is "nutting"?

Slang for graduation - when token hits 85 SOL and moves to Raydium AMM.

What happens when token graduates?

1. Bonding curve closes
2. Raydium AMM pool created
3. Liquidity moved to Raydium
4. Trading continues on DEX
5. Creator can claim fees

See Token Graduation.

Can I trade during graduation?

Brief pause (~30-60 seconds) during transition. Then trading resumes on Raydium.

Does my token automatically graduate?

Yes! Graduation is automatic at 85 SOL. No manual action needed.

Can graduation be reversed?

No. Once graduated, token stays on Raydium permanently.

Rewards

How do I earn rewards?

Create a token and collect 30% of platform fees via Nut Jar.

When can I claim rewards?

After token:

• Graduates (85 SOL), OR
• Expires (24 hours)

How much will I earn?

Your earnings = (Total volume × 1.75%) × 30%

Example: 100 SOL volume = 0.525 SOL for you.

Do I have to claim rewards?

No, but rewards don't grow while waiting. Claim when available!

Can I claim multiple times?

No. One claim per token, ever.
