PerpsPad: perp-backed Solana launches and live API docs
PerpsPad (perpspad.fun) by founder ADP the Great (@PerpsPadfun): Solana coins with a fee-funded sub-wallet perp that buybacks and burns. API docs at /developers; open bot repo adpthegreat/perpspad-bot. Sub-wallets, Imperial/Phoenix, fee split, pump.fun adopt.
devrels.xyz/a/227short linkPerpsPad is founded by ADP the Great (github.com/adpthegreat). Product account: @PerpsPadfun. Site: perpspad.fun. Public tooling repo: adpthegreat/perpspad-bot (alerts for buybacks, burns, TPs).
On 11 Aug 2026 @PerpsPadfun announced that API docs are live at perpspad.fun/developers, with community testing and Telegram outreach for builders. Mechanism write-up: /paper.
PerpsPad is a Solana launch surface for coins backed by a perpetual position: each coin’s fees accrue to a dedicated sub-wallet that opens/tops a leveraged perp on a chosen market and routes profits (and a fee slice) into buyback-and-burn. The headline is the perp treasury + burn loop, not the DEX venue brand used under the hood for the trading curve.

Jupiter buy + on-chain SPL burnTechnical stack (from /paper and /docs)
| Layer | Choice |
|---|---|
| Token | Mainnet SPL, 1e9 supply, mint + freeze authorities revoked at create |
| Primary market | Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (SOL-quoted) |
| Post-curve | Meteora DAMM v2; liquidity permanently locked |
| Fee claimer / perp owner | Per-coin sub-wallet (public address; not creator-held) |
| Perp routing | Imperial meta-router → execution on Phoenix CLOB (paper’s current description) |
| Collateral | USDC (SOL→USDC via Jupiter on deposit ticks) |
| Burns | Jupiter buy of the coin + SPL burn |
| External coins | pump.fun creators can point fee receiver at a PerpsPad sub-wallet (shows after first on-chain fee claim) |
Sub-wallets are derived from a master treasury signer (HMAC-SHA256 over token id) so a keeper can operate many coins; creators never receive those keys. Master treasury cited in paper: FHmBz4SnZ5r6Rws958S8WJ5ymnrvUdwjgrVQ3BVeBH95 (verify on explorers — addresses can rotate with ops changes).
Markets and leverage
Creators pick underlying + leverage at launch. Catalog is venue-driven (crypto majors, Sol-eco, memes, US equities, commodities). Leverage tiers:
- Base: 2x / 3x / 5x
- Degen: higher (paper cites 10x–25x class, clamped under venue max; UI may show more) — flagged on the homepage
Wrong side + high leverage can liquidate the treasury position. Burns from the fee buyback path still run; PnL burns only when the position is profitable under keeper rules.
Fee split (paper’s four-way claim split)
| Share | Destination |
|---|---|
| ~50% | Perp open gate / collateral top-ups |
| ~15% | Creator payout (same tick; asset depends on pair) |
| ~20% | Platform treasury / $PERPSPAD flywheel |
| ~15% | Per-token buyback-and-burn reserve |
Earlier short docs on the site described a 50/25/25 split; treat /paper as the detailed source and re-check before integrating — fee policy is product-critical.
Keeper sketch (docs): open after fee accrual threshold with fixed collateral at chosen leverage; further fees top up; partial closes lock profit slices into burn. Position is intended to live for the life of the token (no “graduate and unwind perp” event).
API docs are live — what that means for builders
The X post: docs at https://perpspad.fun/developers, active testing with community devs, integrations with existing tools, Telegram for collaboration. Expect (typical launchpad API surface — confirm in live docs):
- Market / token listing and stats
- Launch parameters (market, side, leverage)
- Sub-wallet / treasury / position reads
- Fee claim / burn history for indexers and bots
- Possibly webhook or poll endpoints for keeper-adjacent apps
The SPA may hydrate docs client-side; if a crawl looks empty, open the page in a browser or check for OpenAPI linked from Developers. Community bot example already exists (adpthegreat/perpspad-bot— buybacks, burns, TPs, multi-coin alerts).

- Terminal / bot UX — surface live perp PnL + burn rate next to curve progress
- Alerting — fee claim, top-up, TP burn, liquidation risk
- Portfolio trackers — map coin → sub-wallet → venue position
- pump.fun bridges — fee receiver redirect wizard + verification that first claim hit PerpsPad
- Risk dashboards — degen leverage filter, distance to liq, treasury SOL buffer
Risk and diligence
- Leveraged perps can go to zero collateral — coin “backing” is not a peg
- Keeper / master-key operational trust even with public sub-wallets
- Venue/router dependency (Imperial, Phoenix, Meteora, Jupiter)
- Fee split and thresholds can change — pin to current /paper + API version
- Regulatory: equity/commodity perps exposure via tokenized launch UX

Summary
PerpsPad, founded by ADP the Great and run on X as @PerpsPadfun, is a Solana launchpad where trading fees fund a per-coin public sub-wallet that runs a leveraged perp (Imperial → Phoenix) and burns supply from fees and profits. Mint authorities are revoked; migrated LP is permanently locked; creators do not hold treasury keys. API docs are public at /developers; open alert tooling lives at adpthegreat/perpspad-bot. Ground truth mechanics stay in /paper. Treat leverage as the product risk, not a footnote.
