at mint, the program sets itself as the coin's creator on pump.fun. so every trade's fee routes to it, not to a wallet: 70% to stakers in SOL, 30% to the coin's floor, 0% to the creator.

stake the coin to earn the stakers' cut in SOL. the more it trades, the more you earn, and conviction means the longer you stake, the bigger your slice of every payout.

the 30% collects in an on-chain vault the program never spends, so backing per token can only rise. holders can always cash out into it, and each exit nudges the floor higher.
