Important $POOL Update: Rebrand, Snapshot & Relaunch
We’ve been reviewing the current state of $POOL and the broader Solana launchpad market.
There are now a huge number of launchpads competing for the same users, and recent ecosystem changes have made it even harder for generic launchpads to stand out.
Rather than continue building just another token launchpad, we’ve decided to completely reposition the platform into a much more focused niche:
a crypto-native Kickstarter-style platform.
The new platform will be built around project funding, community-backed launches, milestone-based releases, and transparent on-chain funding flows — instead of simply launching another meme token and waiting for volume.
Think:
Kickstarter, but built for crypto.
Projects will be able to raise funds from the community, define funding goals and milestones, and use crypto as the funding layer.
The goal is to create something that has a much clearer reason to exist than another generic launchpad.
What happens to existing $POOL holders?
Existing eligible $POOL holders will not be abandoned.
We will take a snapshot in approximately 1 hour.
After the new token launches, eligible holders will be able to:
Swap their existing $POOL 1:1 for the new token directly through the new platform.
No complicated migration process.
No need to sell before the snapshot if you intend to participate in the migration.
Timeline
📸 Snapshot: in approximately 1 hour
🔨 Rebrand + platform revision: already underway
🚀 New Kickstarter-style crypto platform + token relaunch: targeted within 24 hours
🔄 1:1 migration: available directly on the platform after launch
Transparency
We also want to address one of the biggest concerns from the community.
The team has never sold $POOL into the market.
Our only revenue so far has come from trading fees generated by the $POOL liquidity pool itself.
We have not been funding the project by dumping team tokens.
New token buyback system
With the new token, we also plan to introduce an automated buyback system funded by real platform and liquidity-related revenue.
Instead of manual buybacks, the system will be designed to automatically deploy available buyback funds when predefined market conditions are met.
The goal is to make the process:
• automated
• transparent
• trackable
• based on actual revenue
• less dependent on manual intervention
We are currently considering a model where buybacks become more active after meaningful drawdowns, such as roughly 10–20% declines, but the final parameters will only be published once the mechanism is finalized and tested.
This is not a guaranteed price floor, and buybacks do not guarantee price appreciation.
Why are we doing this?
Because being just another launchpad is no longer enough.
The market is crowded.
The new direction is much more specific:
a crypto-native Kickstarter platform where projects raise funds directly from the community using on-chain funding, transparent milestones, and programmable release mechanics.
That gives the platform a much clearer identity and opens up use cases beyond meme coins.
This is not the end of the project.
It’s a full repositioning into a more focused product with a stronger reason to exist.
More details about the new brand, funding model, milestone system, token mechanics, migration process, and relaunch will be released over the next 24 hours.
Snapshot in ~1 hour.
Relaunch targeted within 24 hours.
Snapshot complete. ✅
Please do not sell or transfer your $POOL tokens if you want to participate in the migration.
Your existing $POOL balance will be needed for the upcoming 1:1 swap into the new token directly on the new platform.
Next steps:
new brand reveal
Kickstarter-style crypto platform rollout
new token launch
1:1 $POOL migration
Keep your $POOL in the same wallet and wait for the official migration page.
Do not send your tokens to anyone claiming they can migrate them for you. Only use the official platform once the swap goes live.

Feature Spotlight: Smart Routing 🔄
On https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj, you don’t always need to hold the exact paired asset before buying a token.
Our routing system lets you buy using supported assets you already have, such as:
• Native tokenized stocks
• SOL
• USDC
Example:
A token is paired with NVDAx, but you only have USDC.
Instead of manually swapping USDC → NVDAx first, https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj can route the trade for you:
USDC → NVDAx → Token
Same idea with SOL or other supported native assets.
So you can focus on the token you want to buy — without manually preparing the pair asset first.
✅ Fewer steps
✅ Smoother trading
✅ Automatic route calculation
✅ Slippage protection before signing
One interface. Multiple ways to enter a market.

WPOOL Update 🌊
You can now pair your meme coin directly with $POOL on https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj.
That means new launches can use $POOL as their quote asset, adding more utility for $POOL across the WPOOL ecosystem.
We’ve also pushed several bug fixes and stability improvements to make the launch and trading experience smoother.
We know some holders are concerned about the recent $POOL price action. Our focus is not on short-term price movement — it’s on shipping the protocol, expanding $POOL utility, and building sustainable demand around real platform activity.
Next up:
🔄 Revenue Buyback Contract — automating the 15% protocol fee allocation for $POOL buybacks
📊 Buyback Monitoring Page — transparent tracking of protocol revenue, pending buybacks, executed purchases, and on-chain transactions
$POOL is now usable inside the platform, and more utility is being added step by step.
🌐 https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj
What makes https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj different from other launchpads? 🌊
Most launchpads focus on one thing:
launch the token and let the market figure out the rest.
https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj is built differently.
⚡ Fair Start
Opening buys are batched to reduce first-wallet and sniper advantage.
🌀 Orca-ready graduation
Successful launches are prepared to migrate into Orca Whirlpools for post-bonding liquidity.
🛡️ Whirl Passport
Every launch gets a public transparency profile showing token authorities, pair, holders, liquidity and graduation status.
📊 WhirlScore
Each project gets a score based on measurable factors like liquidity, distribution, activity and transparency.
📈 Crypto + tokenized stock pairs
Creators can launch against supported crypto assets or verified tokenized stocks.
💰 Stake to Earn
70% of protocol-controlled distributable fees go to active stakers of that token, paid in its paired asset.
🔄 15% → $POOL buybacks
Protocol activity directly feeds into $POOL buybacks.
🎁 1% of successfully graduated token supply → eligible $POOL holders
🪙 $POOL can also be used as a quote asset
New projects can launch directly against $POOL.
The goal isn’t just to launch more tokens.
It’s to build better launch mechanics, deeper utility, and a stronger post-launch economy.
🌊 https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj
We’re still here and continuing to build and improve the platform.
The FUD claiming that we sold and abandoned the project is simply not true.
We’re focused on development, integration, and pushing WPOOL forward. Please don’t let panic or false information drive your decisions.
WPOOL Mainnet is now LIVE 🌊
After completing devnet testing and integrating $POOL into the platform, https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj has now officially deployed to Solana mainnet.
The launchpad is built around Orca Whirlpools and includes:
🌀 Orca-ready graduation — successful launches are prepared to migrate into Orca liquidity
⚡ Fair Start — opening buys are batched to reduce first-wallet and sniper advantage
🛡️ Whirl Passport — transparent launch, holder, liquidity and graduation data
📊 WhirlScore — launch quality scoring based on measurable on-chain metrics
📈 Crypto + tokenized-stock pairs
💰 Stake to Earn — 70% of protocol-controlled distributable fees go to active stakers, paid in the paired asset
🔄 15% → $POOL buybacks
🌊 15% → WPOOL Protocol
🎁 1% of successfully graduated token supply → eligible $POOL holders
🪙 $POOL can be used as a quote asset for new launches
Devnet → $POOL launch → integration → Mainnet ✅
The next phase starts now.
🌐 https://t.co/khAzF8tbw6
$POOL powers the WPOOL ecosystem.
We will now begin integrating $POOL directly into the https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj platform.
Once the integration is complete, the next step is mainnet deployment. 🌊
The rollout is now:
$POOL launch → website integration → final testing → mainnet
$POOL will become part of the core WPOOL ecosystem through:
protocol buybacks
$POOL-paired launches
rewards for eligible $POOL holders
deeper integration across the launchpad
We’re moving from launch phase into full protocol integration.
🌐 https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj
$POOL is now LIVE on https://t.co/DuBDi8xvb0 🌊
The utility token powering https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj is officially live.
$POOL is built to become part of the https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj ecosystem through:
🌊 Protocol buybacks
🪙 $POOL-paired token launches
🎁 1% allocations from successfully graduated tokens to eligible $POOL holders
🌀 Launches designed to graduate into Orca Whirlpools
This is the first step.
Next: integrating $POOL directly into https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj, completing devnet testing, then moving toward mainnet.
Trade $POOL here:
https://t.co/6WGA9Uj3oH
https://t.co/7ZwZP16yPw is where $POOL begins.
https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj is where it gets used.
Devnet is now LIVE on https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj 🌊
You can now explore the first live version of our Solana launchpad built around Orca Whirlpools:
https://t.co/khAzF8tbw6
This is the next major step for WPOOL.
Our launch process:
- Launch $POOL on https://t.co/DuBDi8xvb0
- Let $POOL complete its bonding phase and establish its initial market
- Integrate $POOL directly into https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj
- Enable $POOL utility across the launchpad
- Complete devnet testing
- Move to mainnet
Once integrated, $POOL becomes part of the actual protocol economy — including buybacks and the ability for creators to pair new launches directly with $POOL.
What makes https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj different:
🌀 Orca-focused graduation — successful launches are designed to migrate into Orca Whirlpools for post-bonding liquidity
⚡ Fair Start — opening orders are batched to reduce the advantage of being the first wallet or sniper into a launch
🛡️ Whirl Passport — each launch gets a transparency profile showing token authorities, paired asset, holders, liquidity and graduation status
📊 WhirlScore — launches are scored using measurable factors such as liquidity, distribution, activity and transparency
📈 Crypto + tokenized-stock markets — creators can launch against supported crypto assets and verified tokenized stocks that are compatible with Orca
💰 Stake to Earn — active stakers receive 70% of protocol-controlled distributable fees, paid in that launch’s paired asset
⏳ 24-hour unstaking cooldown — once unstaking begins, those tokens stop earning and become withdrawable after 24 hours
🌊 15% → WPOOL Protocol
🔄 15% → $POOL Buybacks
🎁 1% of successfully graduated token supply → eligible $POOL holders
🪙 $POOL pairs — creators will also be able to use $POOL as the quote asset for new launches
The goal is simple:
https://t.co/7ZwZP16yPw gives $POOL its initial market.
https://t.co/mJ2n1hG1Tj gives $POOL utility.
Orca becomes the liquidity destination for the ecosystem.
Devnet is live now.
Try it:
https://t.co/khAzF8tbw6
Mainnet comes after $POOL integration and final testing.
