Every launch is a mystery.Until block 0.
Stealth meme launches on pump.fun, all at the same price.
Nobody gets the contract early, the dev buy is capped at 3%, and Clue adds 0% to every trade. Every case launches on the pump.fun curve and graduates to PumpSwap.

How it works
From sealed mint to the hourly Lineup. The full journey, and where every fee goes.
Launch sealed
Name, ticker, image, dev buy up to 3%. The contract is generated inside the engine. Nobody holds the CA before block 0, not even you.
How sealing works →Trade the curve
Everyone buys on the same pump.fun curve, starting around 28 SOL of market cap (about $3k). Clue adds 0% the whole way.
The curve math →Graduate to PumpSwap
Once the curve raises about 85 SOL (around $40k market cap), liquidity migrates to a PumpSwap pool and stays locked.
Graduation →Creator fees split
Only now: the coin's pump.fun creator fees split 40% to the dev and 60% to Clue, which funds the Lineup, buybacks and leads.
Full fee structure →Join the Lineup
The top five graduated tokens by volume form the Lineup. Hold $CLUE and the basket pays you every hour.

When cases arrive, each card shows the same facts, so you can compare launches at a glance.
Sealed time
When block 0 happened and the CA went public to everyone.

Hold $CLUE and you're paid from the five best tokens launched here, every hour, weighted by PumpSwap volume. Winners rotate in, laggards rotate out. You never have to pick.
The first rotation unlocks when five cases graduate to PumpSwap. The pot only fills from post-graduation creator fees. No new supply is ever minted to pay rewards.

The drop is the Lineup's share of creator fees from the five Lineup coins. Its size depends on how much those pools trade.

detective's handbook
How a launch
works.
Six steps from an idea to the hourly Lineup, with the parts that protect you enforced by code, not promises.
Submit your token
You give three things: the token's name, ticker and image, plus the SOL for your dev buy. That's the whole form.
The dev buy is hard-capped at 3% of supply and the slider stops there. Take less, or none. You never see the contract address at this stage, because it doesn't exist yet.
Try pushing it past 3%.
The contract stays sealed
The mint keypair is generated inside the launch engine and never leaves it. Not the dev, not the team, not a group chat. Nobody holds the CA before launch.
That kills the classic play where insiders get the address early and load up before the public. On Clue there is no "early".
Block 0 is already taken
The engine fires token creation and the dev buy as one bundled transaction. By the time any bot sees the token exists, block 0 has happened.
Bundlers win by beating the crowd to the first block. Here the first block is already occupied, so the best a sniper gets is the same curve price as everyone else.
One atomic transaction. Nothing can squeeze between creation and the dev buy.
Trading opens on the pump.fun curve
Every case launches on the standard pump.fun bonding curve, starting around 28 SOL of market cap (about $3k, depending on the SOL price). Because the CA is sealed until block 0, nobody can line up a bundle at the very first price.
From there the curve does its job: buying makes each next token dearer, selling makes each next sale worth less. pump.fun's standard trading fee applies. Clue adds 0%.
Graduation to PumpSwap
Once about 85 SOL has been raised on the curve (around 410 SOL of market cap, roughly $40k), the coin graduates and its liquidity migrates into a PumpSwap pool, where it stays locked.
Only now does Clue take anything: 60% of the coin's pump.fun creator fees go to the Lineup, buybacks and leads, and the dev keeps 40%. If a coin never graduates, Clue never earns a thing from it.
Fees feed the Lineup
Clue's 60% share of post-graduation creator fees flows three ways: the Lineup, where $CLUE holders are paid from the top five tokens every hour, weighted by volume; each token's evidence locker, which buys back into heavy selling; and leads for active traders.
No new supply is ever minted to pay rewards. Everything is funded by fees that only exist because tokens graduated.
Common questions
Can the dev buy more after launch?
Yes, but only like everyone else. The 3% cap applies to the block-0 dev buy inside the launch transaction. After that the dev buys on the open curve at the same price as anyone, in public.
What stops Clue itself from sniping?
The engine fires creation and the dev buy as one atomic transaction, and the mint key never leaves it. There is no window between creation and the public CA for anyone to use, Clue included.
Why launch on pump.fun?
It's where Solana memecoin traders already are. Every case uses the standard pump.fun curve, starts around 28 SOL of market cap and graduates to PumpSwap like any other pump coin. Clue adds the sealed CA, the 3% dev cap and the Lineup on top.
What exactly do $CLUE holders receive?
The Lineup's share of creator fees from the five coins in the Lineup (60% of what Clue receives), paid every hour and weighted by each coin's 24h PumpSwap volume. The Lineup rotates as tokens rise and fall. No rewards come from new supply.
