For Pump.fun Creators, Devs & Memecoin CTOs
This page is for:
- Pump.fun creators
- devs whose meme refused to die
- creator-token founders
- small teams building around a community token
Your situation
You have:
-
a token with real volume and a community
-
creator or protocol earnings coming in
-
a list of things you want to fund:
- content
- features
- marketing
- events, tools, infra
But:
- selling large chunks of your token feels wrong
- banks do not care about your meme or your address history
attn gives you a way to turn your earnings into a financing tool instead of selling your own supply.
What you get
1. A revenue account for your token
After you use a CTO or similar process (Pump.fun etc.), earnings are routed to a joint account:
-
controlled by:
- you / your DAO
- and attn (for configuration),
with rules such as:
- if no advance or loan is open, you can withdraw earnings freely
- if an advance or loan is open, a set share of earnings repays it first
On top of that, the account can:
- place unencumbered earnings into simple onchain yield sources (e.g. staked SOL or yield-bearing stablecoins),
- so that your rewards earn something by default while still being available for spending or as collateral.
This makes your earnings:
- legible to partners and LPs
- easier to use as collateral
- easier to explain to your community
2. One-off advances (“sell a slice of your earnings”)
You can:
- sell a portion of your expected earnings over a chosen period for cash now.
You choose:
- how much of your future earnings to sell (e.g. 20–35%),
- for how long (typically up to a few weeks, sometimes a month),
and attn quotes how much you can get today.
Example – Fund a small build with 30 days of earnings
- Your token’s creator rewards average ~5 SOL/day.
- You want ~40–70 SOL to pay a dev and run a small campaign.
You opt to sell:
- 30% of your next 30 days of earnings.
Estimates:
- 30 × 5 SOL = 150 SOL total expected.
- 30% slice ≈ 45 SOL.
attn or a fund might offer:
- ~40 SOL upfront,
- in exchange for receiving 30% of your creator earnings until 45 SOL has been routed to them.
You trade a slice of ~1 month of earnings for ~40 SOL today, without selling your own token.
These are short-dated, “bridge this month” style positions with fast payback from ongoing volume.
3. Credit lines as your project scales
Once your earnings are more predictable in size and frequency, you can apply for a credit line instead of only one-off positions.
This is most relevant when:
-
your token (meme, utility, whatever you ship) has a steady baseline of volume and rewards
-
you are running:
- recurring content or product work
- ongoing contributors and operations
- a budget you want to reuse month over month
The line:
- grows with your revenue track record and size
- repays automatically from your earnings
- can be combined with vesting token collateral for larger tickets
At that point, a revolving limit is usually more convenient than repeatedly opening new short advances.
What about vesting tokens?
For bigger tickets, especially via a launchpad, you might:
- offer a portion of your vesting tokens as extra collateral.
This is usually done in partnership with:
- a launchpad
- your DAO (if applicable)
- and attn
The goal is:
- to let you access more capital earlier,
- while still anchoring repayment in future earnings once they exist.
Details live in:
What changes for your holders?
You should make it explicit to your community:
- what share of future earnings you are selling or using to repay a loan
- what you are using the cash for
- how this helps the project grow
From their perspective, if done well, tokens represent a project with:
- real revenue
- a clear financing plan
- transparent commitments around earnings
attn provides the infrastructure that makes those commitments enforceable onchain, and gives you a default place to park and grow earnings between decisions.
