Rug victims get paid back.
Every rug on Solana leaves a list of the wallets it took from. The list is on chain. It always was. Nobody has ever read it.
We read all of it — every rug, every wallet, what each one is owed — and pay it out of fees that living tokens send us.
Find out what you're owed
Any Solana address. Nothing to connect, nothing to sign.
The coin pays for the rugs.
Two halves that never touch. The fees don't know which rugs they're paying for, and the Register doesn't know where the money came from.
The memo on every payment. It names a claim, not a token — paste the claim id or your address into the lookup and it tells you which rug, what you lost and how the figure was reached. We don't know who owns a wallet and don't want to, so the receipt rides inside the transaction and the detail stays between you and the ledger.
Nobody applies.
$BAILOUT trades on pump.fun, which pays a creator fee on every trade. We claim it on a schedule — 80% to the refund pool, 20% to operations, at a published address.
Separately, every launch on Solana is watched for four on-chain conditions that mean a token was taken rather than lost.
Every wallet it took from is reconstructed from chain history and its real loss measured in SOL. That claim is published whether the wallet holds $BAILOUT or not.
Holding $BAILOUT unlocks it. Rounds open on a pool balance, not a clock — so nobody knows which block opens one, including us.
The pool pays, smallest claim first, in SOL, with a memo naming the rug.
Losing money isn't the same as being taken from. A token that faded and died with its liquidity intact doesn't enter the Register, and its holders aren't paid. That's the whole reason it can't be farmed — refunding everyone who's down isn't a refund, it's a faucet, and it would be drained in an afternoon.
0 SOL is owed and unclaimed.
Computed, published, and sitting against 0 wallets that were all taken from. We know exactly how much by. The figure doesn't expire.

What $BAILOUT does, and what it doesn't.
| Holding $BAILOUT | |
|---|---|
| Moves a claim into the payout queue | YES |
| Changes the amount you're owed | NO |
| Moves you ahead of a smaller claim | NO |
| Exempts you from any exclusion | NO |
| Creates a claim where the chain says there isn't one | NO |
This is a gate, and it's named as one. A wallet that was taken from and doesn't hold $BAILOUT does not get paid. Nothing here will be phrased to obscure that. The token is what gives anyone a reason to point fees at this, and a pool that pays everyone regardless has no funding mechanism and no reason to exist by the second month.
No staking contract, no lock-up, no tier, no multiplier. The test is a balance at a block.
Buying today puts you nowhere behind.
A claim is computed from what a rug did. Nothing about it depends on when you bought $BAILOUT, how much you hold, or how long. A wallet that buys today and was rugged last year is owed exactly what a launch-day holder rugged last year is owed — same figure, same queue, same order.
No early-holder bonus. No snapshot that already passed. Claims are re-tested every round, so a wallet that becomes eligible later enters on its own.
| The Register grows | How |
|---|---|
| Forward | Every Solana launch is watched. A rug today is in the Register within the day |
| Backward | Historical launches backfilled oldest-first until the chain is exhausted, progress published |
| On request | Anyone can submit a token. Holders' submissions are checked first |
A rug that happens while you hold is computed like any other. You don't need to notice it, report it, or still be holding when the round runs. That's the difference between a reason to buy once and a reason to keep holding.
Bailout puts no number on how likely that is to matter, estimates no return from it, and does not call it protection, insurance or a hedge. It is a statement about what the protocol does, not about what it is worth.
5% of supply, locked, and the only thing it can do is burn.
Bought on the open market in one transaction at launch and locked in a third-party vesting contract with no withdraw authority — not a wallet anyone promises not to touch, a contract that won't let them.
| The Reserve can | |
|---|---|
| Burn | YES |
| Be sold, transferred or paid to anyone | NO |
| Be staked, lent or used as collateral | NO |
| Unlock on a date or a cliff | NO |
| Be reached by the team if Bailout shuts down | NO |
Burns are earned, not scheduled. Every round that pays refunds burns from the Reserve in fixed proportion to what that round paid out. A quiet month burns nothing. Supply falls only when victims are actually paid — which closes the failure mode every fee-share token has, where the token wins whether or not the product does.
Nothing on this page is a reason to buy $BAILOUT and none of it is investment advice. The Reserve is a mechanical statement about supply and nothing else.
What counts as a rug.
Any one of four conditions, within 180 days of first trade. Every entry publishes the block it fired in and the transactions that satisfied it, so anyone with an archival node can rerun it and get our answer.
80% or more of pool liquidity removed inside any 24-hour window by an address holding LP authority, and not restored within 72 hours.
The deployer, or a wallet within two hops of it, disposes of 80% or more of the supply it held at first trade — within 72 hours, realising 25 SOL or more.
After first trade, mint authority inflates supply by 10% or more, or freeze authority is used against a holder account that is not the deployer's own.
Wallets sharing a common funder take 50% or more of supply within 60 seconds of first trade, then dispose of 80% of it inside 7 days.
The Register records that a token met a published on-chain condition. It does not assert that anyone committed a crime, acted with intent, or broke a law.

Sample data — the protocol is not live and no payment has been made.
The obvious attack, and the answer.
Rug your own coin. Buy it with wallets you control. Take the rug money with one hand and collect refunds with the other — the rug costs you nothing, because you're paying yourself. Any pool without an answer to that is a donation to whoever tries it first.
| Code | Name | A wallet is excluded when |
|---|---|---|
| X1 | DEPLOYER_LINKED | It sits within two hops of the deployer in the funding graph — breadth-first over SOL-transfer edges from the 30 days before launch, depth ≤ 2, high-out-degree hubs stripped first |
| X2 | EARLY | It bought in the first 60 seconds, or the first 5% of the curve |
| X3 | BUNDLED | The buy landed with creation, or alongside correlated buys sharing a funder |
| X4 | SERIAL | It claims against more than 20 Register tokens in 30 days |
| X5 | FRESH | Its first transaction of any kind is within 24 hours of the buy |
| X6 | WASH | It traded with a counterparty inside its own funding graph — corroborated by trade-size entropy and Benford deviation, both of which collapse under a wash loop |
| X7 | DUST | Net loss is below 0.1 SOL |
| X8 | SCREENED | The address fails sanctions screening |
| X9 | REFUSED | It has asked not to be paid |
Run against a real rug — $880K taken, 2,372 wallets touched — the arithmetic found 31 wallets with a claim worth paying and 2,340 without one. Most wallets that touch a rugged token are in and out for nothing; real losses concentrate in a few dozen. The exclusions then decide which of those few dozen were victims and which were the operation.
Every exclusion is published against the wallet with its reason code. The funding graph is inference, not fact — it will sometimes exclude someone it shouldn't, so claims are re-tested every round against a rebuilt graph.
Live.
Every payment as it lands. Wallet, amount, signature. 1,284 SOL to 9,417 wallets so far, none of whom applied.
Sample rows — the protocol is not live and no payment has been made. The feed shows the payment, not the token it refunds: paste your address into the lookup and it tells you which rug, what you lost, and how the figure was reached.
The limits
Stated plainly, because the alternative is someone finding out at the moment it matters.
- 25 SOL
- Cap per claim. A wallet down 900 SOL receives 25. It is not made whole, and nothing here will imply it might be — what the cap buys is a pool that reaches thousands of people instead of dozens.
- 50 SOL
- Lifetime cap per wallet, per rolling year, across every claim it holds.
- 0.1 SOL
- Floor. Below this, no claim exists.
- 14 days
- Between the rug and the first payment against it — measured from the rug, not from when we noticed it.
- 5 SOL
- The pool balance that opens a round. Below it, nothing is paid.
The pool pays what the pool has. No borrowing, no advance, no promise against future fees, and no obligation that outlives the balance. That's what makes Bailout solvent by construction — it cannot owe more than it holds, because a claim is not a debt.
How a loss is measured.
Everything is denominated in SOL, with no price oracle anywhere in the accounting. USD figures on this site are display only and are never the basis of a payment.
- SOL_spent_acquiring — every open-market acquisition before the Register block, inclusive of priority and platform fees. A trader's cost is what left their wallet, not the notional mid price.
- SOL_received_disposing — every disposal, before or after the Register block, net of fees.
- realisable_price — the median of trades at or after the Register block, and zero when nothing traded afterwards.
The residual is priced after the event, not before. Valuing it at the last price before the block sounds neutral and isn't: it values a victim's remaining bag at the healthy price the rug interrupted, and a liquidity withdrawal then computes to a loss of roughly zero for everybody. What a position is worth after a rug is what somebody will pay for it after the rug. If nothing traded afterwards, nobody will.
Who has a claim
- It acquired the token by trade on the open market. Airdropped, transferred-in and minted balances don't count.
- It acquired before the Register event's block.
- Its net loss is greater than zero.
- It is not excluded under X1–X9.
Holding $BAILOUT is not one of these. A claim is computed and published for every qualifying wallet, at the same figure either way. Holding governs payment, not the claim.
Failure and recovery
- A fee claim can fail. RPC providers go down and transactions revert. A failed claim creates no obligation and is retried; fees stay accrued on chain.
- A payment batch can fail. Batches are idempotent on claim id and reconciled against the chain before the next attempt. No claim is paid twice.
- The chain can reorganise. Entries and claims are computed against finalised blocks only.
- The funding graph can be wrong. It's inference, not fact. Exclusions are re-tested every round against a rebuilt graph.
- The pool can be empty. Then nothing is paid. No borrowing, no advance, no obligation that outlives the balance.
- The conditions can be wrong. They're thresholds chosen from observed behaviour, and behaviour moves. They change in public, dated, with the previous values kept visible.
Refusing payment
Send a signed message from the address, or a 0 SOL transfer to the treasury with DO NOT PAY in the memo. Either proves control, neither requires talking to anyone. The wallet goes on the do-not-pay list within 7 days. A payment already sent can't be recalled — it's a completed Solana transaction and nobody can reverse one.
What Bailout is not
- Not insurance. No policy, no premium, no underwriting, no entitlement. Nobody buys coverage, nobody is covered, and no payment is owed to anyone at any point.
- Not a promise. No wallet is guaranteed a payment.
- Not a court. The Register records that a token met an on-chain condition. It doesn't find fault or name anyone as a criminal.
- Not a recovery service. Bailout can't retrieve stolen funds, reverse a transaction, freeze an address, or pursue anyone.
- Not affiliated with pump.fun, Solana, or any launchpad.
Money received may be taxable to you. Nothing about a refund decides how it should be treated, Bailout issues no tax documents, and nothing on this site is tax advice.
