How Forkfund works
Short version: a coin names a repository, the repository owns the fees, and the maintainer decides what to do with them.
Overview
Forkfund is an identity layer over Pons V2 on Robinhood Chain. Instead of pointing creator rewards at an address someone pasted in a bio, a coin points at a GitHub repository. The repo gets one dedicated escrow wallet, and every trade's creator tax settles there.
Repository identity
When a coin is created, Forkfund resolves owner/repo through the GitHub API, stores the repo id (not just the name, so renames survive), and derives a dedicated wallet. Coins for the same repo share one escrow.
Launching
You launch on Forkfund; Forkfund submits it through Pons, which runs the bonding curve, graduation, and trading. Name, image, and creator tax go on-chain. Launch fees total 0.001 ETH and Forkfund never holds your launch ETH.
Fees and delivery
The creator tax is 1% of trade volume. It accrues in Pons escrow attached to the repo wallet. Maintainers can claim any time. After 90 days unclaimed, Forkfund force-pushes the balance to any wallet linked from the GitHub profile, README, or FUNDING.yml, and emails the public contact about the coin.
Claiming
Verify with GitHub OAuth, a wallet already linked publicly to the account, or a signed commit on the default branch. Claims settle to the wallet you connect and appear on the coin page in real time.
Opt-out and disputes
Maintainers can disable future launches for their repo, redirect fees to another address or an org treasury, or refuse funds entirely. Opting out does not affect existing holders' tokens.
