Community Vault

Last Updated: 15 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.
  • The Coin Creator can distribute rewards only when the vault balance is at least 0.2 SOL.
  • A community link is optional. It can be added later, and adding it does not affect distribution eligibility.
  • The 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 and no community link has been added yet, rewards can still be distributed once the vault balance reaches 0.2 SOL.

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.
  • Distribution requires the Community Vault balance to be at least 0.2 SOL.
  • If the balance is below 0.2 SOL, the Coin Creator cannot trigger distribution yet.
  • A community link is not required for distribution.
  • When the Coin Creator distributes rewards, exactly half of the current vault balance is allocated in that round.
  • The remaining half stays in the vault for future rounds.
  • After each distribution, the vault continues accumulating new fees on top of the remaining balance.

Example

  • If the vault balance is 0.2 SOL, the Coin Creator can distribute 0.1 SOL to a contributor in that round.
  • The remaining 0.1 SOL stays in the vault, and any newly collected fees are added on top before the next distribution.

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.

Community feed updates

  • Anyone can add a tweet to the community feed.
  • 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).
  • Tweet entries are deduplicated by tweet id, so the same coin cannot contain the same tweet id twice.

Tweet content requirements

  • For users other than the Coin Creator, the tweet must include either the token’s exact CA or the token’s exact $ticker.
  • 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.
  • The same tweet id cannot be submitted more than once for the same coin.

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.

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, the vault still remains at 0% and does not accumulate funds.
  • Trends may update Community Vault parameters or related product behavior over time.
