WHISP token

Creator fees: half jackpot, half buybacks

• pump.fun pays WHISP's creator a fee on every trade (on PumpSwap too, after it graduates). From November 12 on, every claim is split:
• 50% into the jackpot with fund_jackpot, booked as ZEC and won by players. Each one is a JackpotFunded event on-chain. See The jackpot.
• 50% buys WHISP on the open market. The WHISP bought stays in the dev wallet.
• Live totals and every transaction: Analytics. Claim, jackpot and buy all come from the dev wallet, so every one is public: 96RtVGMaPvH9fxVFWzqHYyedSJ92zjkZQG5pFtToMWzL.

What it is

WHISP launched on pump.fun's bonding curve with its mint authority revoked, so the supply is fixed. The program never mints it and holds no allocation. The game is a buyer of WHISP, not its issuer. Classic and Token-2022 mints both work (pump.fun's are Token-2022): the program accepts the mint only with no freeze authority and no extension beyond on-chain metadata, so no transfer fee, hook or permanent delegate.

How winners get it

• Once the game buys WHISP, 2% of every stake (a fifth of the fee) is earmarked in SOL. The jackpot share drops from 8% to 6% to make room for it.
• The crank takes that SOL out, buys WHISP on the open market and deposits it, booking how many tokens that round's SOL bought. Rounds are booked in order, so every settlement sees a final number.
• The winning square shares the round's WHISP pro rata by stake, like ZEC. If nobody was on the winning square, that round's 2% goes to the jackpot instead.

Claiming

Booked WHISP sits in the vault's WHISP token account, so a claim never waits on a restock. Until the crank has booked a round, your share is parked; your SOL and ZEC from that round never wait for it. If you win again before it is booked, that round's SOL and ZEC, and your next bet, wait for the crank. Claim to any WHISP token account.

Staking: hold WHISP, earn ZEC

• Stake WHISP and share 1% of every bet, paid in ZEC. No lock: unstake any time. Unstaking is never paused.
• Each round's 1% is split by how much each wallet has staked when the round resolves. With nobody staked it goes to the jackpot. A refunded round pays nobody.
• Duels pay stakers too: 0.5% of every duel's pot, in ZEC, split the same way.
• Staked WHISP sits in its own stake vault, apart from the winners' WHISP. Only an unstake signed by the staker moves it.
• The app stakes from your ghost wallet. Withdraw claims the ZEC you earned along with the rest.

Buy pressure, no sell pressure

Every round with a winner buys WHISP with real SOL, and half of the creator fees buy it too. The game never sells.
