Philosophy
The Fission flywheel on Base — fees as engine fuel, not creator cash.
Regular Clanker tokens have no built-in value mechanism beyond speculation. pumperp applies the Fission model on Base: creator LP fees do not sit in a wallet waiting to be dumped — they enter an autonomous engine whose outputs are perp desk capital, PUM buyback & burn, DIEM endowment, and (optionally) direct creator USDC — with the creator's long-term upside coming from buyback & burn of their own token when the desk profits.
Fission inverted for Base
| Fission (Solana) | pumperp (Base) |
|---|---|
| Pump.fun launch + separate registration | One-step Clanker deploy with fee recipients baked in |
| SOL creator fees | USDC LP fees (Clanker v4 USDC pool) |
| Jupiter Perps | Avantis perps (USDC collateral) |
| Fixed 70% perps / 30% FISSION burn | 5% PUM fixed + configurable DIEM / perp-agent / creator split |
| Per-token Jupiter positions | Per-token Avantis desks (agent picks market/side at open) |
The invariant is the same: fees → engine → amplified upside via burns, not fee extraction by a team.
Why not cash fees?
Pump.fun and Clanker creators historically treat LP fees as income. That creates a persistent sell pressure narrative: "the dev is farming fees."
Fission reframes the bargain:
- Route fees to the protocol engine instead of your EOA.
- Accept that most fees fund perp collateral — high leverage can multiply returns or get liquidated.
- Capture upside when the desk wins — profits swap into your token and burn, shrinking supply.
pumperp adds Base-native refinements: USDC-denominated fees (cleaner accounting than WETH), Clanker dynamic fee tiers (1–5%), and a PUM tithe so every launch strengthens the protocol token.
The flywheel
Trading volume → LP fees → claim → split
├─→ perp desk (leveraged exposure)
├─→ PUM burn (protocol token)
├─→ DIEM stake (intelligence endowment)
└─→ creator USDC (optional cash leg)
Desk profit → USDC → swap → creator token → burnEach enrolled token is a small contributor to PUM (via the 5% tithe) and a beneficiary of its own desk's success.
Zero trust, not zero risk
The engine runs from an open-source backend signed by a protocol wallet. Fee claims, Avantis txs, and burns are verifiable on Basescan. There is no multisig treasury to negotiate with — and no guarantee of profit. High leverage means liquidation is a first-class outcome, not an edge case.
Who this is for
Creators who want a narrative and mechanism beyond "another memecoin": perpetual-backed tokens with transparent, autonomous fee routing. Not for users who need predictable cash yield from LP fees.
