Where a creator fee goes

1Someone trades your coin

pump.fun takes its usual fee on every buy and sell. The creator’s share goes to a vault made just for your coin, on Solana.

2The vault is swept

Every 5 minutes we claim what’s in the vault. 5% is DM’s cut. Nothing else is taken.

3SOL becomes GRAM

The rest is bridged from Solana to TON through Relay and arrives as GRAM, the coin Telegram’s wallet holds.

4It lands on Telegram

GRAM is split by share and sent to each @username’s wallet inside Telegram. They see it when they open Wallet.

Who holds the money

DM is custodial for a few minutes at a time.

Your coin’s creator is a vault DM controls. That’s what lets us claim fees, bridge them and pay people on Telegram. It also means you’re trusting us between the trade and the payout. To make that trust checkable, every vault, bridge transfer and payout is public and linked from the coin it belongs to.

Questions

What is GRAM?

The coin of the TON blockchain. It was called Toncoin until June 2026. It’s what Telegram’s built-in wallet holds, so it’s the easiest way to pay someone on Telegram.

Does the person I pay need to do anything?

No sign-up, no claim, no wallet connect. GRAM appears in their Telegram wallet.

Can I pay a channel, group or bot?

No. Only a person’s @username, because only people have a Telegram wallet.

How small can a payout be?

Payouts go out once someone has at least 0.1 GRAM waiting, so network fees don’t eat them. Smaller amounts roll into the next round.

Can I change who gets paid later?

Not yet. Recipients and shares are locked at launch so buyers know where the fees go.

What happens when my coin graduates?

It keeps paying. Creator fees from PumpSwap go to the same vault and the same people.

Small print

Memecoins are volatile and most go to zero. Nothing on DM is financial advice. DM isn’t affiliated with Telegram or pump.fun.
