// Built on Solana · $SHIP

Every
hackathon
is a coin.

What if the next great builder was funded by a coin?

Every coin launched through Shipyard becomes its own hackathon — with a public prize vault, a deadline, and builders competing to win.

// The rules

A launch becomes
a competition.

Four rules. Every coin launched through Shipyard runs on them from block one.

01 / FEES
90%

Of creator fees fund the prize

Every trade drips creator fees into the coin's public prize vault.

02 / VOTE
LOCK

Holders lock tokens to vote

Voting weight is the tokens you lock. No lock, no vote.

03 / WIN
POT

The winning builder takes it

At the deadline the vault pays the builder with the most locked votes.

04 / KEEP
∞

Future fees keep funding

After the win, ongoing fees keep flowing to the winner's project.

// Lifecycle

How big does
the vault get?

Plug in a coin's volume and deadline. The vault fills from creator fees; the winner keeps earning after.

Estimate only: vault = volume × creator fee × 90%. Real fees depend on Pump.fun's fee schedule and actual volume.

Try the lock mechanic on a sample board. Pick a builder, set your lock, watch the standings move.

On Shipyard, locked tokens unlock after the deadline. Weight = tokens locked.

▣

Program-controlled prize vaults

Fees land in a vault owned by the program, not a wallet. Nobody can pull the pot early.

vault = PDA(["vault", mint])
authority = program
// payout only after deadline
◆

On-chain voting

Holders lock tokens against a submission. Every lock is a transaction anyone can audit.

lock(mint, submission, amount)
weight += amount
// unlock after deadline
◎

Pick the prize asset

Pair the vault with SOL, USDC or tokenized stocks, so builders get paid in what they want.

// FAQ

Questions.

What happens when I launch through Shipyard?

Your coin launches with a hackathon attached: a public prize vault, a deadline, and an open call for builders. 90% of the coin's creator fees flow into the vault.

How does voting work?

Holders lock tokens behind the submission they back. Weight is the amount locked. At the deadline, the submission with the most locked weight wins.

What does the winner get?

The vault at the deadline, plus future creator fees from the coin keep funding the winning project.

Who controls the vault?

The program. Fees land in a program-controlled vault and only pay out under the hackathon's rules.

What can prizes be paid in?

SOL, USDC or tokenized stocks, picked when the hackathon is set up.

Is $SHIP an investment?

No. $SHIP is a memecoin with no promise of returns. Only use what you can afford to lose.
