How Coldboot works

Hold at least $20 of $coldboot to get a share of its creator fees. Take it as SOL, or as AI credits for the chat and your own apps.

The basics

$coldboot is a Solana coin on pump.fun. Part of each trade’s fee goes to the creator. This project shares the available creator fees with eligible holders.

SOL by default. AI credits when you choose.

Keep tokens in your own wallet. There is no staking, deposit, or lockup. Choose credits in the dashboard to receive 1.5x the dollar value of your share for AI requests.

To spend credits, open the chat on this site, or create an API key. An API key lets an app or a piece of code talk to the AI models through one address. You can earn SOL without using either.

Who earns rewards

The holding requirements

$20 minimum
Hold at least $20 worth of $coldboot, valued at the price used for that split. The number of tokens needed changes with the price.
Two readings
Balances are read about two minutes apart. You must appear in both readings; buying between them does not qualify you for that round.
Lower balance
The lower of your two balances must meet the minimum. That balance is also your weight in the split.

Your share is proportional to your eligible token balance compared with the total eligible balance. The creator wallet and program accounts are excluded from rewards, along with any additional wallets configured for exclusion.

The dashboard’s holding check shows your current balance. The split’s two readings determine what actually earns a reward.

How each split works

  1. Collect fees

    The worker collects creator fees and keeps enough SOL for its operating reserve and transaction costs. The rest is available to share.

  2. Read eligible balances

    Two balance readings determine which wallets qualify and how much weight each wallet receives.

  3. Allocate each share

    The available pool is divided proportionally among eligible holders. Your payout choice decides whether your share becomes SOL or AI credits.

  4. Deliver rewards

    SOL payments are sent in batches. Credits are recorded in the dashboard, and the associated SOL funds the AI treasury.

A split runs when enough fees are available and the worker is ready. Low fees, an unfinished earlier round, or transaction delays can postpone it. The timer marks a scheduled worker check, not a guaranteed payment deadline.

Models on this gateway

Credits use the SOL/USD price recorded for the split. For example: if your share is worth $1 at that price and you have no unpaid prior AI usage, choosing credits adds $1.50 to your AI balance. This is an illustration, not a reward estimate.

Why a small SOL reward may not be sent

SOL shares below the worker’s payout floor are not sent. The floor includes Solana’s minimum account balance, read from the chain. It applies to the reward amount even if you already have SOL in your wallet.

That unsent SOL is saved as a balance for your wallet. An eligible future SOL split can send it once the combined amount clears the payout floor. Choosing AI credits pauses SOL carry payouts. Each saved share is subject to the worker’s configured expiry; expired shares return to the holder pool. There is no guaranteed payment interval.

Credits have no SOL transfer floor. They are recorded to a millionth of a dollar. A share too small to create one whole micro-USD stays in the shared pool.

Set up your payout

  1. Connect your wallet

    Open the dashboard and connect the wallet holding your tokens.

  2. Sign in

    Sign the sign-in message. This proves the wallet is yours without moving funds.

  3. Check your holding

    The dashboard shows your balance against the current $20 minimum. It is a reading of right now; the split's own two readings decide each round.

  4. Choose your payout

    Choose AI credits or keep SOL. Your choice is used when a future split is allocated; it does not change rewards already allocated.

  5. Use your credits

    Once your balance is above $0, open the chat, or create an API key for your own app. You can create a key earlier, but paid requests need credit.

Wallet inside an app like fomo

Some trading apps hold your wallet’s keys for you and cannot sign a message for another site. Choose sign in with a transfer on the dashboard instead. Enter the Solana address the app shows, and the dashboard names an exact amount between $1.01 and $1.99. Withdraw exactly that much USDC on Solana from the app to the treasury address shown. Once the transfer finalizes, usually within a minute, you are signed in, and the USDC is added to that wallet as AI credit at its dollar value. The amount is the proof, so send it exactly, from the wallet that holds your $coldboot, within 30 minutes. Only wallets holding $coldboot can start one.

To use credits, create an API key in the dashboard, then follow the API setup guide. Keys spend from your wallet’s shared credit balance.

Common questions

Does holding $20 give me $20 of AI?

No. Holding at least $20 makes your wallet eligible for a share of the creator fees. Your share is your eligible balance compared with every other eligible balance, and the pool depends on trading volume, so a round can pay little or nothing.

Do I need to use AI or write code?

No. SOL is the default payout. You only need the AI gateway if you choose to spend credits.

Do I need to claim my reward?

No. Eligible SOL rewards are sent to your wallet, and credits are added to your dashboard balance automatically.

Why did I receive no SOL this round?

You may be below the holding minimum, missing from one of the two balance readings, or owed less than the SOL payout floor. A round can also wait for fees or for an earlier payout to finish. Holding tokens does not guarantee a payment each round.

What happens if I sell my tokens?

You keep SOL already received and credits already issued. Selling changes your eligibility and weight in future splits. You can still spend your existing credits with a valid API key.

Can I switch back to SOL?

Yes. Change your choice in the dashboard before a future split is allocated. Existing credits stay in your balance; the switch does not convert them into SOL.

Can I withdraw credits as money?

No. Credits pay for AI requests through this gateway. There is no credit-to-SOL withdrawal option.

What does the dashboard signature authorize?

It proves you control the wallet so you can manage its payout choice and API keys. It signs a message, not a transaction, and grants no permission to move your wallet funds. The site never needs your private key or recovery phrase.

Are failed AI requests always free?

No. A request confirmed as uncharged releases its reserved credits. If a timeout or disconnect leaves the cost unknown, the reservation can remain until reconciled. A paid request can still cost credits if its answer does not reach you.
