stayers.funStayers vs Traditional Launchpads
Compare design choices without assuming competitors lack features.
Code exists; Stayers production behavior is not yet verified.
Traditional launchpads focus heavily on launch activity. Stayers is designed to create additional economic and discovery events throughout a token's lifecycle.
This is a comparison of documented design and implementation, not a claim that Stayers produces better financial results.
Side-by-side
| Area | Stayers | Pump.fun: official documentation reviewed |
|---|---|---|
| Token creation | Implemented DBC creation with a fixed Stayers policy; mainnet unverified | Coin-creation instructions are documented |
| Initial trading | Implemented Meteora DBC quote/swap path | Bonding-curve buy/sell instructions are documented |
| Creator revenue | Proposed ledger entitlement after collection | Creator collection and fee sharing are documented; supported mode matters |
| Platform revenue | Proposed retained collection-wallet allocation | Protocol fee recipients are documented |
| Graduation | Implemented DAMM migration checks; mainnet unverified | Migration to PumpSwap is documented |
| Post-launch discovery | Implemented Second Wind engine; production promotion disabled | These reviewed protocol documents do not establish the full discovery experience |
| Survival milestones | Experimental Stayers qualification and event records | No conclusion about equivalent features from the reviewed sources |
| Token-specific liquidity funding | Accounting implemented; complete Stay Vault execution planned | No absence claim made |
| Market-health information | Implemented experimental score with missing-data states | No comprehensive product comparison established |
| Fee-recipient transparency | Proposed address plus runtime verification dashboard | Official recipient documentation is available |

The Stayers distinction
Stayers makes token-attributed survival accounting, versioned health qualification and renewed discovery explicit parts of its proposed lifecycle. Several parts remain unverified or planned. Those design goals do not imply superior returns or reduced exposure to manipulation.
