Glasses in motion
What a running glass looks like
Example data — not a real token. Real launches appear above as soon as they go live.
Time is the only edge
No staking, no claiming, no lockups. Just hold — the glass keeps count.
Launch
Anyone launches a token in one Phantom signature. It trades on a Meteora bonding curve — visible on Axiom, GMGN and Jupiter from the first second.
Trade
Every buy and sell pays a 4% fee. Snipers pay up to 10% in the first minute. At ~86 SOL raised the curve migrates to Meteora DAMM v2.
Hold
Your hourglass starts at your first buy. Hold through the tiers to reach up to a 4× share. Buying more never resets it.
Get paid hourly
Every hour the reward pool is sent in SOL directly to your wallet. Share = time-weighted balance × your hold multiplier.
Patience compounds
Your multiplier climbs the longer your hourglass runs — from plain sand to diamond.
A week-long holder earns four times a fresh buyer with the same bag. One sell — even a tiny one — sends you back to Sand.
Where every trade goes
A fixed 4% fee on the bonding curve, 2% after migration. Most of it flows back to the people who hold.
Shares of the trading fee. Meteora keeps 20%; the partner share (80%) is split 80 / 10 / 10 between holders, creator and platform — on chain, holders receive 88.89% of what the HOURGLASS program collects. After migration the locked LP keeps earning 2% and those fees keep flowing to holders the same way.
Anti-snipe: 10% → 4%
The fee starts at 10% and slides to 4% over the first 60 seconds. The creator's dev buy lands in the launch transaction itself and pays only 4%.
Migration & locked liquidity
When the curve raises about 86 SOL (≈400 SOL market cap) it migrates to Meteora DAMM v2 automatically. The LP is locked forever — nobody can pull it — and its 2% fees keep paying holders every hour.
Questions in the sand
How do I get paid?
You don't claim anything. At the top of every hour the HOURGLASS keeper sends SOL from each token's reward pool directly to eligible holders' wallets. Payouts under 0.001 SOL roll over and are added to a later hour.
How is my share calculated?
Your share of an hour's pool is your time-weighted balance during that hour multiplied by your hold-time multiplier: Sand 1× (from your first buy), Glass 1.5× (6 hours), Bronze 2× (24 hours), Gold 3× (3 days), Diamond 4× (7 days).
What resets my hourglass?
Any sell or transfer out of your wallet — even a tiny one — resets your timer to zero and forfeits that hour's payout. Buying more never resets it.
Why is the fee 10% in the first minute?
It's anti-snipe protection. The fee starts at 10% and falls linearly to 4% over the first 60 seconds, so bots that buy the first block pay for it. The creator's dev buy is inside the launch transaction itself and pays only 4%.
What happens when the curve fills?
At about 86 SOL raised (≈400 SOL market cap) the token migrates to Meteora DAMM v2. The liquidity is locked forever, and the pool's 2% fees keep flowing to holders exactly like before.
Is there a minimum balance?
Yes — balances under 100,000 tokens are treated as dust and don't participate. Liquidity pools and program accounts are never paid.
Is $SAND live?
Not yet. When the flagship token $SAND launches, it will be featured at the top of this page with its mint address. Only trust the mint shown here and on @hourglass_sol.
What are the demo launches?
Example data to show what a running token looks like — tiers, payouts and leaderboards. They are clearly marked DEMO, have no mint address and can't be bought. Real launches always appear first.
