Community Vault

Last Updated: 3 April 2026

This page explains the core Community Vault mechanism for coins launched on Trends using the new curve.

Quick overview

  • Community Vault reserves a creator-configurable share of fees for community rewards.
  • The reserved fees accumulate in a dedicated vault for that coin.
  • As long as the vault balance is greater than 0, the Coin Creator can distribute the current vault balance at any time.
  • A community link is optional. It can be added later, and adding it does not affect whether rewards can be distributed.
  • The selected contributor can claim the reward on Trends after signing in with X.

Who can use Community Vault

  • Community Vault is available only for coins launched on the new curve.
  • It does not apply to legacy coins (V1 coins).

How the split works

  • Community Vault is part of the creator-side fee split for an eligible coin.
  • The creator-side rewards can be divided between Coin Creator, Fee Earner, and Community Vault.

Core rules

  • Community Vault can be set from 0% upward, as long as Fee Earner + Community Vault does not exceed 100%.
  • Any remaining share goes to the Coin Creator.

Default setup

  • If a valid Fee Earner link is added during creation, the default split is Fee Earner 90%, Community Vault 5%, and Coin Creator 5%.
  • If Community Vault is not configured, its default share is 0%.
  • A vault account is still created for the coin even if the Community Vault share is 0%.

Setting it up at coin creation

  • The Coin Creator can choose a Community Vault percentage when creating a coin.
  • Adding a community link is optional during creation and can also be done later.
  • If a coin has a Community Vault balance greater than 0, the Coin Creator can distribute rewards even if no community link has been added yet.
  • If a community link is added later, the Add Link button disappears after the link is successfully added.

How funds accumulate

  • After the coin begins trading, the configured Community Vault share is automatically routed into that coin’s dedicated vault.
  • Funds continue to accumulate until the Coin Creator distributes them.

How distribution works

  • Distribution is round-based, not a continuous stream for many earners.
  • As long as the Community Vault balance is greater than 0, the Coin Creator can distribute rewards.
  • A community link is not required for distribution.
  • When the Coin Creator distributes rewards, the entire currently available vault balance is allocated in that round.
  • After that distribution, the vault starts a new accumulation cycle.

Example

  • If the vault has accumulated $1,000 and the Coin Creator distributes it to Contributor A, then only fees collected after that point remain available for the next distribution.
  • If another $200 is later added, the next round can distribute up to $200.

Claiming rewards

  • The Coin Creator selects the contributor by X profile.
  • The contributor signs in to Trends with the same X identity.
  • The contributor binds a Solana wallet and claims the reward to that wallet.

Important notes

  • Each coin has its own separate Community Vault.
  • If no Community Vault share is configured, the vault exists with a 0% share and does not accumulate funds.
  • If the Community Vault share is 0% but a community link is added, community-related stats may still be shown on the front end, but the vault remains at 0% and does not accumulate funds.
  • Trends may update Community Vault parameters or related product behavior over time.

Community feed rules

The Community feed is separate from Community Vault reward distribution.

Adding or updating tweets in the Community feed does not control whether Community Vault rewards accumulate, can be distributed, or can be claimed.

  • Anyone can click Update in the Activity / Community tweet feed to add a tweet.
  • The Coin Creator can add tweets without content restrictions.
  • For all other users, the tweet must include either the token’s exact $ticker or the token’s exact contract address (CA).
    • Matching is case-sensitive for both CA and $ticker.
    • If using $ticker, the $ symbol is required.
    • Mentioning the ticker without $ does not count as valid.
    • Including either one is sufficient. Both are not required.
    • Examples:
      • Valid: tweet includes the exact CA.
      • Valid: tweet includes the exact $ticker.
      • Invalid: tweet includes the ticker text but does not include $.
      • Invalid: tweet includes a differently cased CA or $ticker.
