What are Index Funds
Index Funds allow users to buy into multiple stocks or tokens in one in simple words its like a shopping basket instead of buying one stock like GOOGLE Users can buy a ETF that holds many things at once (stocks, bonds, crypto, etc)
So a example for a ETF could be a bundle of stocks like Google, Apple, along with Microsoft so this way your portfolio is diversified To make it simple One purchase = lots of investments Key points:
Traded like a stock (you buy/sell it on the market) Diversified (spreads risk across many companies) Cheaper than buying lots of individual stocks Transparent (you can see what’s inside)
Primary Example: S&P 500 → owns tiny pieces of 500 big US companies Crypto ETF → tracks Bitcoin or crypto prices
Why people like Index Funds: Less risky than picking single stocks Easy for beginners Good for long-term investing
Architecture & Stack
Non-Technical Overview
Users can:
Create index funds
Buy/sell other users’ index funds
Creating an Index Fund:
Connect a Solana wallet (devnet recommended)
Click “List New Index Fund”
Add:Name
Optional tweet link
Token allocations + addresses
Cost: 0.01 SOL (contract deployment)
Buying & Selling
Users interact with the smart contract directly
Funds are split automatically based on allocations
Example:
If you buy 1 SOL of an index fund:
1% fee is applied
Remaining amount is distributed across tokens
Fees
Creators:
No ongoing fees
Only pay 0.01 SOL to deploy
Users:
Flat 1% fee:0.5% → creator
0.5% → platform
Creators earn 0.5% per transaction.
(Fees may change, but will be public if they do.)
How our Index Funds work.
How Our Token Index Funds Work
I built a Solana program (Rust) that allows anyone to create on-chain index funds using tokens.
Example:
You create an index fund called Risky Index with:
$Troll
$Fartcoin
$Ryan
You control allocations:
3 tokens → 33% each
4 tokens → 25% each
Custom splits (e.g., 35% / 35% / 15% / 15%)
Rule: Allocations must total 100%.
Creators can also define supply percentages.
@hay_trade001 No, we allow users to create their own index fund from already established tokens.
They then explain their thesis behind their index fund.
Its similar to the S&P 500
