FAQ
Frequently asked questions about socials.fun.
General
What is socials.fun?
socials.fun is a protocol that creates tradeable Solana tokens from social media posts. Paste any X/Twitter, YouTube, or TikTok link to create or trade a token representing that content.
How is this different from pump.fun?
| Feature | socials.fun | pump.fun |
|---|---|---|
| Token source | Social media links | Any custom token |
| Uniqueness | One token per link | Unlimited duplicates |
| Graduation | Raydium CLMM | Raydium AMM |
| Staking | Yes (post-graduation) | No |
| Vanity addresses | Yes (-sfun suffix) | No |
Is this legal?
socials.fun creates tokens that reference social media content. We do not claim ownership of the underlying content. Tokens are speculative assets and users should understand the risks involved.
Token Creation
What links are supported?
- X/Twitter: Tweets, not profiles
- YouTube: Videos, shorts, playlists
- TikTok: Videos
Can I create a token for any post?
Yes, as long as:
- It's from a supported platform
- No token exists for that exact link
- The content is publicly accessible
What if a token already exists for my link?
You'll be redirected to the existing token's trading page. Remember: one link = one token.
Who owns the token I create?
The token mint is an SPL token on Solana with:
- Fixed supply: 1 billion
- No mint authority (can't create more)
- No freeze authority The creator has no special privileges - it's just a regular token anyone can trade.
Trading
How do I buy tokens?
- Go to any token page
- Enter SOL amount
- Click Buy
- Approve transaction
Why is my transaction failing?
Common causes:
- Insufficient SOL balance
- Slippage too low (increase in settings)
- Network congestion (retry)
- Token is graduating (wait for completion)
What is slippage?
Slippage is the maximum price change you'll accept. If the price moves more than your slippage setting before execution, the transaction fails.
Can I set limit orders?
Not on the bonding curve. After graduation, you can use limit orders on Raydium.
Graduation
What triggers graduation?
Approximately 50 SOL accumulated in the bonding curve.
Can I trade during graduation?
No, trading is paused during the ~30 second graduation process.
What happens to my tokens during graduation?
Nothing - they stay in your wallet. Only the liquidity migrates.
Can graduation fail?
Rarely. If it fails, bonding curve trading resumes and graduation retries automatically.
Staking
When can I stake?
Only after the token graduates to Raydium.
What do I earn from staking?
A share of the 1% CLMM trading fees, paid in SOL.
Is there a lock-up period?
No, you can unstake anytime.
How often should I claim rewards?
Whenever gas-efficient. Small rewards might not be worth the transaction fee.
Technical
What blockchain is this on?
Solana (both Mainnet and Devnet supported).
What wallets work?
Any Solana wallet:
- Phantom (recommended)
- Solflare
- Backpack
- Ledger (via adapter)
Are the contracts audited?
The protocol is built on Anchor and follows Solana security best practices.
