1Overview
Clipped turns a token's creator fees into a clipping campaign. Instead of fees accruing to a wallet and sitting there, they fund creators who cut your token into short-form video and post it across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X.
The shape of it:
- A token launches on pump.fun with its creator fees pointed at Clipped.
- Every trade generates creator fees, which accrue on-chain.
- Those fees become the campaign's budget — real money, visible on the token's page.
- Clippers post edits of the token and submit them.
- Verified views are paid out of the budget.
Nothing here is custodial in the usual sense: the fees sit in a pump.fun fee vault that the chain controls, and the campaign spends from what has actually accrued.
2Supported venues
Tokens launch on pump.fun. That is the only venue right now, and it is deliberate: pump.fun's fee-sharing program is what makes the whole thing work, because it lets a coin's creator fees be split to named wallets at launch and verified by anyone reading the chain.
Clips are posted on:
| Platform | Format |
|---|---|
| TikTok | Vertical short-form |
| YouTube Shorts | Vertical short-form |
| Instagram Reels | Vertical short-form |
| X | Native video |
3Directing fees
A pump.fun coin has a fee sharing config: a small account listing the wallets that receive its creator fees, and what share each one gets in basis points. Directing fees to Clipped means naming our wallets in that config.
There are three ways to do it, all on the Launch page:
Launch — create the coin here and the split is written into the launch itself. Two transactions, approved once.
Register — the coin already exists and you have already pointed its fees at us on pump.fun. Paste the mint and we verify the routing on-chain before adding it.
Walletless — launch anywhere, point the fees at the campaign wallet, and the coin is picked up automatically. Nothing to submit and no wallet to connect.
update_fee_shares_v2 can only be called a single time per
coin, and it cannot be reversed. A mistake here is permanent, which is
why registration verifies the routing on-chain rather than trusting a
form.
4The 80/20 split
Creator fees are split two ways:
| Share | Destination | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 80% | Campaign wallet | Pays clippers per verified view |
| 20% | Buyback wallet | Buybacks and burns |
The split is enforced on-chain, not by us. Both shares are written into the coin's fee sharing config at launch, so anyone can read the config and confirm where the fees go without taking our word for it.
5How campaigns work
A campaign's budget is the creator fees its token has earned. It is not a number we set — it grows as the token trades and shrinks as clippers are paid.
Campaigns run on Whop, which handles submissions and payouts to creators. A token's page shows whether its campaign is live: a token can be routing fees to Clipped and accruing budget before a campaign has been created for it, so Not live means there is nothing to clip for yet, not that the token is inactive.
6Getting paid to clip
Find a campaign on Explore. The budget tells you what is behind it; campaigns are ranked by budget so the best-funded work is first.
- Cut a short vertical clip featuring the token.
- Post it to TikTok, Shorts, Reels or X from your own account.
- Submit the link to the campaign.
- Get paid per verified view once it is checked.
You are paid for views, not for posting. A clip nobody watches earns nothing, and a clip that takes off earns in proportion.
7How views are verified
View counts come from the platform the clip was posted on, read after a settling period rather than at the moment of submission. Views that a platform later removes are removed here too.
This is the part that has to be strict. Paying per view creates an obvious incentive to inflate views, so submissions are checked against the platform's own reported figures and clips that cannot be verified are not paid.
8How claims work
Creator fees do not arrive in a wallet automatically. They accrue in a pump.fun fee vault tied to the coin, and someone has to trigger a claim to move them.
That first hop is permissionless — anyone can trigger it, and it costs only the transaction fee. A token's page shows both halves: what has already been claimed and what is still sitting in the vault. The campaign budget is the sum, because both are the campaign's money.
9Buybacks and burns
The 20% share funds buybacks. Fees routed there are used to buy the token back off the market and burn the supply, so trading activity feeds back into the token rather than only out of it.
Like the campaign share, this destination is written into the fee sharing config on-chain and is readable by anyone.
10Registering an existing token
If your coin already exists, you do not need to relaunch it. Point its creator fees at the campaign wallet on pump.fun, then paste the mint into the Register tab on the Launch page.
No wallet connection is needed. Redirecting the fees is itself the proof of ownership — only the coin's creator can do it — and we verify that routing by reading the chain before the coin is added.
11Stopping a campaign
The fee split cannot be undone. update_fee_shares_v2 is
single-use, so once a coin's fees are pointed at Clipped they stay pointed
there for the life of the coin.
What can stop is the campaign: a campaign can be paused or closed, and unspent budget stays in the vault rather than being spent elsewhere.
12If a token is not registering
Registration fails for a small number of specific reasons.
"This coin has no fee sharing set up yet." The coin has no fee sharing config at all. Set it up on pump.fun first, then register.
"This coin's creator fees are not routed to the campaign." The config exists but does not name our campaign wallet. Check the address matches exactly — it is shown on the Launch page, and one wrong character is a different wallet.
"That does not look like a mint address." The mint is a 32–44 character base58 address. A pump.fun URL or a transaction signature will not work; copy the contract address itself.
