ARCADES docs
ARCADES is a pump.fun launchpad for games. Anyone can launch a coin for a Steam game, an itch.io dev, a Roblox creator, a GitHub game project, an X account, a Twitch streamer or a YouTube channel. The coin trades on pump.fun like any other, and its creator fees fund the person or studio it was launched for.
Launching a coin
- Connect a Solana wallet (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack) or sign in with email, Google, X or Discord to get one.
- Pick the platform and search for the game, dev or channel. We look it up through that platform's official API.
- Add a name, ticker, image and optional dev buy.
- Approve one transaction. It creates the coin on pump.fun with the creator's dedicated fee wallet set as the coin's creator.
You pay pump.fun's account rent (about 0.02 SOL), a 0.01 SOL launch fee and whatever you choose to dev-buy. The launch fee goes straight to the creator's fee wallet, so they can claim it along with their trading fees. Your coin shows up on pump.fun, DexScreener and every Solana terminal right away.
Where the fees go
pump.fun pays a creator fee on every trade to the wallet set as the coin's creator, both on the bonding curve and on PumpSwap after graduation. ARCADES makes one wallet per creator identity, for example steam:1145360 or itch:somedev, and uses it as the creator of every coin launched for them. The launcher never controls it.
Fees build up in pump.fun's creator vaults until the verified dev claims. If several coins are launched for the same game, they all pay into the same wallet and one claim collects everything.
Who can receive fees
| Platform | Who | How they prove it |
|---|---|---|
| Steam | Game | The publisher pastes a Steamworks Web API publisher key once. Steam's official partner API confirms the key owns the app. The key is never stored. |
| itch.io | Indie dev | The dev signs in with their itch.io account through itch's official OAuth. |
| Roblox | Roblox dev | The creator signs in with Roblox's official OAuth 2.0. |
| GitHub | Game dev / studio | The dev signs in with GitHub OAuth. |
| X | Dev / studio | The account signs in with X's official OAuth 2.0. |
| Twitch | Streamer | The streamer signs in with Twitch's official OAuth. |
| YouTube | Gaming channel | The owner signs in with Google and we read their own channel through the YouTube Data API. |
Claiming as a dev
- Go to Claim and sign in with the account the coin was launched for.
- Connect any Solana wallet. That's where the money goes.
- Press Claim. One transaction pulls your fees from pump.fun and PumpSwap and pays them to your wallet. The server co-signs only the transaction it built, so the payout can't be redirected.
You can also export the fee wallet's private key and import it into any wallet. The first claim leaves Solana's rent minimum (about 0.00089 SOL) in the fee wallet so it stays open.
Security
- Each fee wallet key is encrypted with AES-256-GCM, using a server key that never leaves the server.
- Claiming, withdrawing and exporting need a fresh sign-in through the platform's official login.
- Steam publisher keys go straight to Steam's partner API and are never stored or logged.
- Launch and claim transactions are built server-side and signed by your own wallet. ARCADES never sees your wallet's keys.
FAQ
Can I launch a coin for a game I don't own? Yes, as on pump.fun. You just can't take its fees. They wait for the real dev.
What if the dev never claims? The fees stay in pump.fun's vault for that wallet. No one else can withdraw them.
Does ARCADES take a cut? No cut of creator fees. pump.fun's normal protocol fees apply to trades.
Is this financial advice? No. Memecoins are extremely risky. Only use money you can lose.
