The rules.
The same rules for every coin, applied at the same minute, and readable back from the chain afterwards.
How fast does a storm close?
Pick how many clean coins enter. This runs the same code as the storm itself.
The storm
A storm is 24 closes, one every hour. Any coin launched on Storm Zone during registration enters by itself. There is nothing else to join.
A storm needs at least 32 clean coins to start. With fewer, registration stays open.
Clean or washed out
The bundle is the share of supply bought in the creation block, your dev buy included. Above 40% the coin is washed out and never enters.
The close
Each hour, coins are ranked by average market cap over the last 10 minutes. The lowest 20% go out, at least one coin. Equal averages: the coin launched last goes first.
The cut always leaves one coin per close to come. So a storm bites hard early, then takes one coin an hour until landfall.
Out is not off the market
A coin that goes out keeps trading normally. It only leaves the storm.
Creator fees
All creator fees go to the wallet that launched the coin, before, during and after the storm. Storm Zone takes none of them and holds no money for anyone. You claim them on pump.fun as usual.
Landfall
At close 24 one coin remains. If it is clean, it is the one left standing, and it stays on the record of that storm.
That is all it receives. There is no pot and no payout, and nothing is bought back or burned automatically. A creator who wants to buy back or burn does it alone, from their own wallet, and nothing obliges them to.
Who creates the coin
You do. Your wallet is always the on-chain creator and makes the dev buy inside the creation transaction. The site is never the creator.
Check it yourself
- Read each coin's trades from the chain.
- Average its market cap over the 10 minutes before the close.
- Apply the cut above. You will get the same coins, in the same order.
The mechanics contain no randomness and no AI.
What this is not
No price is promised, and being inside the storm says nothing about what a coin is worth. Memecoins can lose all of their value. Nothing here is financial advice.
