Same pump.fun curve, graduation and liquidity. fair rewires everything around it: who deploys, what's allowed to launch, who gets block 0, and where every fee goes.
The create, the 2% guard and the fee lock ship as one atomic bundle through Helius Sender and Jito: they land together, in order, in the same block, or not at all. The coin's address stays private until it's on chain, so nobody can pre-arm a sniper. No dev bag in the create, nothing to front-run. Every coin shows its block 0, measured on chain.
Every coin is deployed by the same master wallet. No per-coin dev wallet, no dev allocation, nothing in the create for a dev to dump. Same creator on every fair coin: originals are provable.
Before anything is signed, the ticker and name are folded to one canonical form: case, spacing, Cyrillic and Greek lookalikes and leetspeak all collapse. Then they're checked against every coin launched here and every ticker already trading with real liquidity. Names one edit away are refused, and copied pictures are caught by a perceptual hash.
With no dev bag, block 1 is free money for bots. So the master buys 2% of supply inside the create bundle, watches the chain every 250 ms, and dumps the full 2% into the first outside buy. Snipers buy the top; the guard sells it to them. Your deposit funds it and settles back right after.
Inside the create bundle, 100% of the coin's creator fees are routed on-chain to its own vault and the admin key on that split is revoked: the routing is frozen for good. Every 5 minutes fair's burn engine claims the vault's fees, buys the coin with exactly what it earned, and burns every token it bought.
Lives in your browser, encrypted with your passcode (AES-GCM, 310k PBKDF2 rounds). It pays the 0.035 SOL fee plus the guard deposit, which settles back seconds after launch, and it only signs a payment to fair's master for the exact amount on screen. You hold the key: back it up before you fund it.
Every founder carries an on-chain rank that follows their wallet. It climbs with every coin that bonds on fair with a clean record. Dump your bag in the first hour, bundle with linked wallets, or get flagged by holders, and it flips to a red flag until that coin is out of your last 5. Fresh wallets start at New, so nobody washes an old record.
Your first buy goes out after the guard, never in block 0, and fair won't route a founder buy past 10% of supply while the coin is on its curve. Anything that goes around it shows up in the holder check.
Every coin page pulls its holders straight from the chain: the founder's bag, the top 10, who bought in the first blocks, and wallets funded from the same source. Exchanges fund everyone, so they're filtered out.
Only holders, once per coin, weighted by what they've held for 15 minutes. When 5 holders with 5% of supply between them agree, the coin is flagged and its founder's rank turns into a red flag. A rival has to hold a real piece to flag a coin.
