we originally launched on robinhood chain, where we gave away and bought back more than $10,000 worth of ETH. we proved the faucet was more than a gimmick we put real money back into the community and kept the tap flowing.
now we’re bringing everything we built to solana.
deeper liquidity, more users, faster growth, and an ecosystem made for an idea like this. paste your wallet, turn the tap, and claim free SOL. fees generated by $faucet will continue funding faucet refills, giveaways, and transparent buybacks.
we already proved what we’re willing to put behind this.
now we’re ready to build on solana full time.
the tap is turning back on.
the faucet has now been offline for roughly 11–12 hours. we're back momentarily.
we could have rushed it back online sooner, but after seeing the scale of the traffic and attacks hitting the site, we did not want to bring it back prematurely and give attackers another opportunity before the foundation was stronger.
at its peak, more than 30,000 people were using the website at the same time. since launch, the site has already crossed over half a million visitors. the demand was far beyond anything we expected, and it exposed parts of the infrastructure that needed to be reinforced before we could safely reopen the tap.
we have spent this downtime upgrading the backend, strengthening bot and abuse protection, improving claim verification, and preparing the site to handle significantly more traffic without the same interruptions.
the faucet is not going anywhere. this was never a quick launch that we planned to abandon after the first wave of attention.
we are getting close to bringing everything back online, and when the tap reopens, it will return with a much stronger foundation beneath it.
thank you to everyone who has been waiting, supporting us, and sticking with us through the downtime.
we’re almost ready to go again and we cannot wait to keep cooking with you.
were already closing in on 100,000 unique visitors, with over 11,000 people on the site right now. freaking unheard of numbers lol
if your claim isn’t hitting immediately, the demand is simply overwhelming.
claims are funded by $faucet's PUMP volume and creator fees - the higher the volume climbs, the more SOL enters the reservoir and the faster claims are automatically fulfilled.
more volume. more claims. more SOL flowing back to the community.
we’ve implemented a new requirement for all future claims: wallets must have existing onchain activity to be eligible and be aged just a few days.
this will help deter freshly created bot wallets and keep more SOL flowing to real users.
the new protection is live now.
we’ve identified the root issue of bot attacks and are actively implementing the fix now.
everything should be running smoothly again momentarily. thank you for bearing with us—the tap will be fully flowing shortly.
the database is overwhelmed by bot traffic. I'm restarting the backend and adding deeper protection for the faucet. this should be done in a few mins.
thanks everyone. water never stops flowing.
3+ SOL is currently in the treasury awaiting claims and will be auto refilled when needed. 10+ is awaiting sent to treasury.
7+ SOL has already been sent out to more than 500 claimers.
this is JUST the start!
we’ve just upgraded to the highest @helius business plan.
faster data, stronger infrastructure, and no more site stutters. the performance upgrades are rolling out shortly.
faucet is only getting started.

due to extremely high volume, some live information on the site may be delayed.
claims are still working—you can paste your wallet and claim your SOL instantly.
the tap is flowing and will never stop.
@mollycup999 whenever the tap is labeled as dry it is automatically refilling with creator fees! retry in a few moments if it says dry.
the vault is low at the moment but once migration occurs fees will be upped!
