Every coin is a job with a reward on it.

1. Overview

Longbow turns a pump.fun coin into a bounty. When you launch a coin here you write one task, for example "make a 30 second video about this coin". From the first trade, the coin's creator fees fill the reward for that task, and the coin page shows it live.

Anyone can take the job. They do the task and send proof, a link to their work, from their own wallet. Longbow reviews the proofs, approves one winner per bounty and pays the reward in SOL. Every payout is public: it is recorded as owed with its amount and reason, then marked paid with its transaction.

A launch costs 0.1 SOL, paid once, in one transaction. Longbow's launch wallet creates the coin on pump.fun through PumpPortal within seconds, and pump.fun's own create cost comes out of that fee.

Every coin is a standard pump.fun coin: it trades on pump.fun's bonding curve and graduates to PumpSwap when the curve fills. You can post a bounty now from the create page at longbowdot.fun.

2. Posting a Bounty

A bounty is one form, one task, one payment and one signature. Everything after that signature is done by Longbow's launch wallet. If you add an initial buy, it is one more signature in your own wallet once the coin is live.

2.1 What you fill in

The create page at /launchpad/create asks for the coin and its task. Every field is checked before you pay.

Initial buy: optional, in SOL, described in Section 2.4. Launch fee: 0.1 SOL, described in Section 2.2. Nothing else is charged to post a bounty.

2.2 The payment

You pay 0.1 SOL once, in one transaction, to Longbow's launch wallet. Before your wallet signs, the page checks two things about that payment: the amount and the destination.

There is no second fee and no top up. The check happens before your wallet signs, so the payment that leaves your wallet is exactly 0.1 SOL to the launch wallet.

2.3 Creation

Once your payment lands, Longbow's launch wallet creates the coin on pump.fun through PumpPortal (Lightning). It takes seconds, not minutes. The task goes into the coin's pump.fun description too, so traders there see the bounty.

Every launch has its mint address fixed in advance, made from the launch's own key. If a step has to be retried, the retry uses the same mint address, and a coin can only be created at that address once. One launch can never make two coins.

Because the launch wallet creates the coin, it is the coin's on-chain creator. That is what sends pump.fun's creator fees to Longbow, where they fill the coin's reward, as described in Section 3.

2.4 The initial buy

You can add an initial buy in SOL. It is a second signature in your own wallet, right after the coin is live, and it buys on the bonding curve like any other trade. That SOL goes to the curve, not to Longbow and not to the reward.

3. The Reward

Every buy and sell of a pump.fun coin pays a small creator fee to the coin's creator. On Longbow that creator is Longbow's launch wallet, so the fees land with Longbow, and Longbow counts each fee to its own coin from the chain. That count is the coin's reward.

The reward shows live on the coin's card and on its page, in SOL. It grows with every trade until a winner is approved; from then on it is locked at that amount. Creator fees the coin earns after that stay with Longbow. A coin nobody trades earns no fees, so its reward stays at zero: a reward is never promised, it is only what the coin really earned.

4. Proofs and Winners

Anyone can take the job. A bounty moves through four steps:

A bounty is Open while no proof is waiting, Submitted while a proof waits for review or a winner's payout is owed, and Paid once the winner was paid on chain. One wallet can have one proof waiting per coin, and a coin's launcher cannot win its own bounty.

4.1 Payouts

When Longbow approves a winner, the payout is recorded as owed, with the exact amount, the winner's wallet and the reason, and shown publicly on the Payouts list of the board. Longbow then pays it by pressing send in Phantom: a transfer of exactly that amount, carrying the payout's own memo.

The payout is marked paid only after Longbow's server reads that transaction from the chain and checks the amount, the winner and the memo. Then the Payouts list shows it as paid, with a link to the transaction. A winner can be approved once the reward reaches 0.01 SOL.

5. Fees and How Longbow Earns

A bounty costs the launcher 0.1 SOL, once. The coin's creator fees fill its reward until a winner is approved. That is the whole fee picture.

The initial buy is not a fee. It goes to the bonding curve and buys the coin for you, as described in Section 2.4.

5.1 Creator fees

pump.fun pays creator fees from the trading of each coin to that coin's creator. On Longbow the creator of every coin is Longbow's launch wallet, so those fees reach Longbow, which claims them and counts each one to the coin whose trade paid it.

There are no airdrops, no staking, no revenue share and no governance. Traders and launchers do not receive a share of creator fees; the one person paid from a coin's fees is the winner of its bounty.

6. The Curve and Graduation

Every Longbow coin is a standard pump.fun coin with a supply of 1 billion. About 793 million of it is sold on pump.fun's bonding curve: the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell.

When the curve fills, at about 85 SOL raised, the coin graduates to PumpSwap and keeps trading there. Its trades keep paying creator fees after graduation, so its reward keeps growing until a winner is approved.

7. Trading on Longbow

The bounty board at /launchpad has three lanes: Open, Submitted and Paid. List views show coins as Cooking, Trending, New, Gaining and Graduated, plus a Watchlist kept in your own browser and the public Payouts list. Filters narrow any list, and quick buy lets you buy straight from the board.

A trade flows through four steps:

Longbow never holds your SOL or your coins. Every trade is built for your wallet and signed by your wallet.

7.1 Coin pages

Every coin gets its own page with its bounty (the task, the live reward and its status), the proofs waiting for review, a live chart, its trades, holders and top traders, and a box to buy and sell from your own wallet.

Coin pages follow the coin through its whole life: on the bonding curve while it fills, and after graduation once it has moved to PumpSwap.

8. Wallets and Safety

Longbow works with any Solana wallet, Phantom and others. You sign in by signing a message: it proves the wallet is yours and moves no funds. Longbow never holds anyone's keys, and never asks for them.

Your wallet is involved in four moments:

Read every transaction in your wallet before you sign it, and check a coin's contract address before you buy. Anyone can launch a coin with any name.

9. Architecture

Longbow runs on Solana and launches every coin on pump.fun. The system is made of these parts, each with one job:

10. Bounty Terms

By posting a bounty or sending proof you agree to these rules. Longbow may update them; the version on this page is the one that applies.

11. Risks

Memecoins are risky, and this page does not pretend otherwise. The main risks, and what to do about each, are as follows:

12. $BOW

$BOW is Longbow's own coin, a pump.fun coin like every other coin on Longbow, with no staking and no airdrops attached. Its contract address, price, market cap and holders show on the Buy page at launch. Any coin calling itself $BOW before then is not ours.

Until $BOW launches, the Get $BOW page shows empty values for price, market cap, liquidity and volume. Those are real empty states, not missing data.
