WP Whitepaper
A coin for a place where posting pays — funded by real revenue, never printed out of thin air.
WP is live. The coin has launched and trades on its open market. The reward system described below is still being built — the table just under this one says exactly what works today and what does not. Parameters may be tuned; live values are always published in-app. Nothing here is financial advice or an offer.
contract address (Solana)
This is the only official WP mint. Check it character by character before you buy — impersonator tokens copy the name, the ticker and the art, and they are indistinguishable except by this address. We will never DM you one.
| what | status | |
|---|---|---|
| WP trades on its open market | live | graduated — you can buy it, and the liquidity is locked |
| @username memberships | live | card, app store, or SOL |
| volts + AI creation | live | the whole app already runs on volts |
| the reward pool | live | funded with 100,000,000 WP, settling every Friday |
| the volt generator (holding WP) | live | hold WP in your webpunk wallet — the drip runs nightly |
| posting rewards + Friday paydays | live | posts from 8 August count — first payout Friday 21 August |
| claiming what you earned | live | web only, and you pay the network fee |
| rank badges | live | awarded from what you hold |
Everything in this table — and everything this paper describes — is running. Nothing has been paid out of the pool yet: the first Friday payday is 21 August, covering posts from 8 August onward.

never touched crypto? perfect — this page assumes nothing
webPunk is an app where you make things with AI — images, clips, avatars, whole little worlds — and share them. It has its own coin (WP) and its own creation energy (volts). This paper explains how money moves through it, and the whole thing is three moves:
01
join
Claim your @username — a membership, from $8.99 a month. Your fee doesn't sit in our pocket: membership money funds the reward pool that pays creators. We buy the WP for it on the same open market you do, and every purchase is on the public blockchain.
02
hold
Hold WP in your wallet and your volt generator hums out volts every day — free creation energy. Your coins never leave your wallet and are never spent; sell them whenever you like, for whatever they're worth then.
03
post
Make things. When other paying members genuinely react, you earn WP from the pool every Friday, sized by how much your work resonated. What you hold doesn't matter here; only the work does. Money can't buy applause.
volts ⚡
Creation energy. Every AI image costs 5 volts; clips cost more. Arcade tokens for the machines.
WP
The coin. 1 billion exist — ever. You buy and sell it on its open public market (the app links straight to it), so the price is whatever people pay. Up or down.
holding
Holding WP in your own wallet. Your coins never leave it — nothing is deposited anywhere. Holding powers your generator (while your @username is active) and your rank (always); sell any time (selling resets your 14-day rate ramp).
the pool
The shared pot that membership money fills. Every posting reward comes out of it — each payday pays out a percentage of what is in it, so it scales with the pot and cannot be emptied.
SOL
The main coin of the Solana network — the blockchain WP lives on. You only need it if you pick the crypto payment option.
resonance
How much paying members reacted to your post, and how strongly — a remix counts more than a comment, a comment more than a like. Multiplies your Friday payout, ×1 up to ×3.
Now go play with the machine below — slide things, watch the numbers move. Then keep reading for how it all stays fair.

whole volts only — always rounded down. your coins never leave your wallet and are never spent — sell any time (selling resets the 14-day ramp). the rate is live: full below generator capacity, diluting smoothly past it. the rank shown converts dollars to WP at an illustrative price — your real rank depends on what WP costs when you buy.
resonance
×2.0
your weight this week
4.0×2.0 a plain post
only paying members' engagement counts · resonance climbs with distinct paying fans and caps at ×3 (held WP plays no part here) · weight is not an amount — each payday splits a percentage of the pool across everyone's weight, so what a point is worth depends on the pool and on how many others posted
this shows the parts the rules fix — volts from held WP, weight from engagement. it does not predict a payout, because that depends on the pool's balance and on everyone else's weight that week. volts are capacity, not cash; rewards are paid in WP and their dollar value floats with the market. a simulation, not an offer or a guarantee.
The Coin
WP launched as a fair launch on Pump.fun (a widely-used public launch site for new coins — yes, the name is silly). Fair launch means: exactly 1,000,000,000 coins were created, no more can ever be made, and nobody got a secret head start — no coins reserved for insiders to unlock and sell later. Everyone, including us, bought at the same public price, which rose by the same published rule as more coins were bought. One more protection, translated: every new coin has a pot of money that lets people trade it (the "liquidity"). Scam projects yank that pot and run. Ours is already locked — WP finished its launch curve and graduated to its open market, which locked that pot permanently, on the public record. Nobody, including us, can ever pull it out from under you. You don't have to take our word for any of it: the explorer links above show the whole thing.
Two more things you can check yourself on the explorer links above, both settled permanently at launch. The mint authority is gone — nobody, us included, can ever create another WP, so the supply can only shrink from here. The freeze authority is gone too — nobody can freeze your coins or stop you selling them.
WP launched from its own deployer wallet, separate from the one that launched Æ. Same team, separate keys — so neither coin's history is attached to the other, and a problem with one key can never reach the other.
webPunk runs on two currencies with two different jobs. Volts are in-app creation credit — they pay for AI generation and never leave the app. WP is the coin: you can hold it to power your generator and climb the ladder. Volts make things; WP is the coin the whole system buys and pays out in.
Post. Resonate. Get Paid.
Post your creations. When people who pay for the platform genuinely react to them, you get paid. That's the whole idea — everything else in this section is just the guardrails that keep it honest.
Earning is gated behind a paid @username — $8.99/month by card, $69.99/year by card or app store, or $53.99/year paid in SOL (the only crypto option). One gate, three effects: it funds the reward pool, it makes every earner a paying member, and it prices bot farms out of existence. On webPunk there are no text-only posts — every post is an AI creation that costs volts — so there is no free content to farm.
Earning and the SOL checkout live on the web app — app-store rules keep coin mechanics off phones — but everything you make shows everywhere. Every post has a 7-day engagement window, and it settles exactly once: at the first Friday payday after that window closes, sized by how much your post resonated with other paying members. One post, one payment — nothing is split, staggered, or partially paid.
Your share of the pool = posts × resonance. What you hold is not in that formula — on purpose. Holding buys creation capacity, never a bigger cut of the rewards, so earnings can't be bought. Posts are capped at 2 rewarded posts per day — posting is a daily claim, not a spam race. Resonance grows with how many different paying members react — and how strongly. Not every reaction is equal, and the ranking is simply what it costs the person giving it:
| reaction | counts as | what it costs to give |
|---|---|---|
| like | ×1 | a tap — one of your 2 daily charged reactions |
| comment | ×2 | typing, thought |
| remix (troll) | ×3 | 5 volts and a prompt — real money |
Each person counts once, at their strongest reaction — so one person liking, commenting and remixing is a remix, not all three. Reactions add up on a curve that caps at ×3, so a handful of genuine fans maxes it out and 900 bot-likes can never 100× a payout — breadth beats volume, and nothing beats someone caring enough to make something back.
A few things deliberately don't move the needle:
- Likes from free accounts — nice, but cosmetic.
- Your third charged reaction of the day — everyone gets 2 that count.
- The same person, over and over — each pair of members counts once a week. This is the rule that makes buying fake fans pointless: nine bought accounts can lift one post a week, not every post, so the most they could ever do costs far more than it pays.
One nice consequence: a remix is itself a post. When you remix someone, you earn for the thing you made and they earn for having provoked it — both sides get paid. It costs one of your two daily rewarded posts and one of your two daily reactions, so remixing is a real choice about how you spend your day, not a free extra.
The Generator
Think of it as a little machine you own. Hold WP in your wallet and your volt generator produces creation credit every day — so you can create without spending cash on volts, and your coins are never consumed. It runs while your @username membership is active: the volts it makes are paid for out of membership revenue, so members are the ones it runs for. If your membership lapses the machine simply pauses — your coins are untouched, your 14-day ramp is not reset, and it starts again the day you come back. There is nothing to deposit and nothing to withdraw: your WP never leaves your wallet— we read your balance from the public chain, the same one anyone can read. Sell any time, for whatever it is worth then; selling resets your 14-day rate ramp. Here is the rate, plainly: everyone's generators share one daily supply of volts, funded by a fixed slice of what the platform actually earned. When total holding is modest, you get the full rate — a year of volts worth about what your held WP is worth ($100 of WP ≈ 16 volts a day). If more people hold than today's supply covers, everyone's share shrinks proportionally — and grows back as the platform earns more. The live rate is always shown in-app, and nothing is ever adjusted by hand. Volts come in whole numbers, always rounded down — below one volt a day the machine doesn't turn on. And one person can draw at most 3% of the day's supply — a cap that grows with revenue.
One more rule, and it is the honest one to know up front: your rate builds from 0% to 100% over your first 14 days of continuous holding. Day one already pays a little — about a fourteenth of your full rate — and each day pays more until day 14 pays all of it. Selling any of your WP resets the clock. This is what makes hit-and-run farming pointless: a short visit only ever collects a fraction, and loyalty is what compounds.
| held (USD of WP) | volts / day | covers |
|---|---|---|
| under ~$6.25 | 0 | the machine doesn't turn on — whole volts only |
| $50 | 8 | 1 post/day + spare — the practical minimum |
| $100 | 16 | the full 2/day rewarded cap |
| $250 | 40 | cap + experiments |
| $1,000 | 161 | cap + video occasionally |
| per-person cap | 3% of the day's volt supply | grows with revenue — ≈275 volts at launch |
The Ladder
Ranks are badges measured in WP held — so your rank never moves just because the market did. They are pure status — bragging rights, not a bigger cut. Everyone starts as Janitor. Yes, everyone. The top is Tycoon, at 10,000,000 WP.
| rank | WP held | |
|---|---|---|
| Janitor | 0 | membership only |
| Apprentice | 1,000 | first rung |
| Worker | 10,000 | |
| Machinist | 50,000 | |
| Supervisor | 250,000 | |
| Executive | 1,000,000 | |
| Tycoon | 10,000,000 | top of the ladder |
Where the Revenue Goes
Revenue-share, not a money printer. Membership money is what fills the reward pool: it lands in a public treasury, and we buy WP with it on the same open market you use, then add it to the pool. Every payment — card, app store, or SOL — is outside money coming in.
Being straight about the shape of this: there is no fixed per-payment split, and the top-ups happen on our schedule rather than automatically on every sale. This is a commitment we keep, not one the code enforces on our behalf. What does not change is the ceiling underneath it: the pool cannot pay out more than has been put into it, and both the buying and the paying are on the public blockchain for anyone to add up.
The SOL rail is the most direct version of that promise: the plan is priced in dollars and the SOL amount is set at that moment's exchange rate when you check out. The SOL goes to a public treasury address and is swapped for WP from there — not inside your checkout transaction, so there is a gap between paying and buying, and we would rather say so than imply an instant round trip. Both halves land on the public blockchain, so anyone can check that what came in went back out. And one rule holds on every rail: WP itself is never accepted as payment. If memberships could be paid in WP, earners would renew with recycled pool tokens and no fresh money would enter — every membership must be outside money.
How much a payday pays is a fixed percentage of whatever the pool holds — not a fixed number of coins. That one choice does the heavy lifting: the pool cannot be drained, because taking a slice of what remains always leaves something behind. A busy week pays more in total than a quiet one only because the pool is bigger, never because we decided to print more.
Your slice of that percentage is your share of the week's posting weight. Fewer people earning means bigger slices; more people means smaller ones. So the honest answer to “how much will I make” is it depends on the pool and on everyone else, and we would rather show you the live numbers than quote you a figure we cannot stand behind. Payouts run weekly, and only engagement from paying members moves your share.
Fair Play
- Everything counts per person, not per account — held WP, post caps, payout ceilings, and engagement all aggregate across accounts. Splitting yourself into many accounts earns exactly nothing.
- Engagement is a paid, budgeted signal, and the rules are the same arithmetic at every size — 200 members or 200,000. Nothing here depends on us guessing what "normal" looks like, so early members are never punished for being a small, close community.
- We could not confiscate your coins even if we wanted to — your WP never leaves your wallet, so there is nothing of yours in our custody to take. If our systems suspect gaming, the penalties are all on OUR side of the ledger: a reversible discount on that week's rewards, and for proven identity fraud (one person pretending to be many), forfeiting unpaid rewards — with notice and an appeal.
- If someone deletes a post you remixed, you keep what you already earned, your pending payout still settles, and your 5 volts come back — you are never penalised for someone else's delete.
- A hard ceiling bounds everyone — whales, cliques, and us included: no person can be paid more than 3× their annualized membership fee in WP per year (or 3% of a period's pool, whichever is smaller). That one line is why buying fake fans can never pay for itself at any size — the maximum prize is forever smaller than the cost of the fake identities needed to chase it. Volts you earn from holding or taking part are creation capacity, not a payout, and are capped separately.
What We Promise — and What We Don't
We promise:
- Rewards are funded by real product revenue and are never minted. The pool cannot pay out more than it takes in.
- The rules on this page apply equally to everyone — including us.
- Live pool numbers and payout rates will be published in-app, alongside what has gone into the pool — so the balance between the two is something you can check rather than take on faith.
We do not promise:
- The price of WP. It trades on an open market and can go down as well as up. Nothing here backs or defends a price.
- Any particular amount. We do not promise you will earn your membership back, or any sum at all. What a payday pays is a share of a share: a fixed percentage of whatever the pool holds that week, split across everyone who earned a share of it. Fewer people posting means larger shares; more people means smaller ones. The username and the app are the product.
- The simulator's figures. They are models at a stated baseline mix; your share depends on how many others hold and post.
Launch Parameters
the exact dials, for the curious — skip this table freely. These are the settings the reward system will launch with, not values running today.
| membership | $8.99/mo (card) · $69.99/yr (card / app store) · $53.99/yr in SOL (web only) |
| crypto rail | SOL only — USD-priced, converted at that moment's exchange rate at checkout, collected in a public treasury address and swapped to WP from there; WP itself is never accepted as payment |
| reward pool | funded from membership revenue — WP bought on the open market and added to the pool; no fixed per-payment split |
| generator rate | live formula — up to the value of the WP you hold, per year, diluting automatically past saturation; runs while your @username is active, pauses (without resetting the ramp) if it lapses |
| rate ramp | 0% → 100% over your first 14 days of continuously holding — day one pays ~1/14th of full rate; selling any WP resets the clock |
| volts | whole numbers only, rounded down — under 1/day you get none |
| image post | 5 volts |
| remix | 5 volts — uses one of your 2 daily reactions and one of your 2 rewarded posts |
| per-person volt cap | 3% of the daily volt supply — grows with revenue (≈275 volts/day at launch) |
| ranks | badges by WP held, Janitor 0 → Tycoon 10,000,000 WP — status only, never affects earnings |
| rewarded posts | up to 2 per day |
| resonance | √(weighted distinct paying members), floor ×1, cap ×3 — like ×1, comment ×2, remix ×3; each person counts at their strongest reaction |
| engagement budget | 2 charged engagements per member per day |
| pair limit | each (engager → author) pair credits once per rolling 7 days |
| payout ceiling | min(3% of the period's pool, 3× your annualized membership fee) per person per year |
| payday size | a fixed percentage of the pool's current balance, not a fixed number of coins — so the pool cannot be drained and payouts scale with what is actually in it |
| settlement | Friday paydays at 00:00 UTC — each post settles once, at the first Friday after its 7-day engagement window closes |
| WP valuation | a time-averaged price (7-day and 24-hour), never a momentary spike or dip — so a brief market wick can't swing your volts |
| custody | your WP never leaves your wallet — we read your balance from the public chain; there is nothing to deposit and nothing to withdraw |
Settings, not physics: the pool's solvency guarantee holds at any values; these numbers tune distribution and will be adjusted against live data. Current values will always be published in-app. Creator fees from token trading fund development.
