A token on pump.fun points its fees at us

At launch, the token directs its creator fees to our treasury and locks in that destination. pump.fun pays in SOL. We read the TikTok handle from the token's description and claim the fees on a schedule. Every claim splits: 80% (gross) to the creator and 20% to buy and burn $TOKPAID.

Kraken converts it to dollars

Every claim's recipient share reaches this step as SOL and converts to US Dollars at the same Kraken account. Conversions run in batches rather than one per payout.

$TOKPAID is bought back and burnt

The 20% buys $TOKPAID on the open market, in SOL, and burns it through the SPL Token program's own burn instruction, which removes it from supply rather than parking it at an address. Supply is fixed, and the buys and burns are on chain if you want to check them.

USD arrives in our TikTok Money balance

The dollars Kraken settles land in the TikTok Money balance on the @TokPaid account, the treasury every payout is made from. It holds what is owed to TikTok users between a claim and its payout, and we keep it ahead of what is owed.

The TikTok user receives the distribution through TikTok Money

The payout leaves our balance and arrives in the TikTok user's TikTok Money account, the one matched to their handle. TikTok asks for verification and the enrolled security key answers it, so nobody taps a prompt. @TokPaid then replies with TikTok's own receipt attached.

TikTok Money operations

TikTok Money allows an account to confirm payments with a security key. @TokPaid has one enrolled and held by our payout worker. When TikTok requests verification, the worker uses the key to sign the verification challenge, allowing the payment to proceed through the TikTok Money interface. This is what makes the sends automatic.
