Introduction
gitpad turns public GitHub repositories into Solana token markets, and every trade pays the repository's builders.
What gitpad is
gitpad connects public GitHub repositories to token markets on Solana. Anyone can launch a market for an eligible public repository. Every fee-paying trade on that market sets aside a share of the trading fee for the repository's builders, even before they have heard of gitpad. When a current GitHub admin of the repository verifies their access, binds a payout wallet and claims, those fees are paid in SOL.
Each public repository can have exactly one canonical market. The market is keyed by GitHub's permanent numeric repository ID, so renaming or transferring the repository does not create a second market. See Repository identity.
Markets start on a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC). When the curve holds 85 SOL of real quote reserve, the market graduates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool with permanently locked liquidity. See How it works and Graduation.
gitpad is open source under the AGPL-3.0-only license.
Who it is for
gitpad has three kinds of participants. They can be different people, and usually are.
| You are a | What you do | Start at |
|---|---|---|
| Discoverer | Find a public repository, launch its market, and earn a limited share of gitpad's fees on that market | /find-repos or /launch |
| Trader | Buy and sell repository tokens, with quotes, price impact and minimum received shown before you sign | /explore |
| Builder | Verify current admin access to a repository, bind a payout wallet and claim the fees it has earned | /builders |
Launching a market does not make the launcher a builder. Builder fees can only be claimed by a current GitHub admin of the repository. See Builders and Discovery rewards.
What a token is
A gitpad token is an SPL token on Solana with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 and six decimals. It is associated with one public GitHub repository through that repository's numeric ID, and it trades against SOL in that repository's canonical pool.
Holding the token gives you a position in a market. Trading it generates fees for the repository's builders.
What a token is not
- It is not ownership. A token gives no ownership of, or rights to, the code, the repository, its brand, its trademarks or any business built on it.
- It is not an endorsement. Anyone can launch a market for any eligible public repository. A launch does not mean the maintainers approved it, know about it or are involved.
- It is not equity or a claim on revenue. Holding a token gives no right to builder fees, platform revenue, governance or redemption.
- It is not a promise of value. Prices can fall to zero. Volume and earnings are not guaranteed.
