⚙️How Xtrends Works
Xtrends is built to make social attention tradable — letting users discover, buy, and launch trending hashtags as on-chain coins. Below is a step-by-step look at how the entire system functions.
🔍 1️⃣ Discover a Trend
Users begin by browsing the Trending Hub, which lists:
All active and upcoming trends
Real-time trading data
Launching and pre-owned listings
Each trend represents a unique hashtag or idea on-chain — no duplicates allowed.
States of a Trend:
Available
Can be bought instantly with 1 SOL
Owned (Inactive)
Someone owns it, but hasn’t launched it yet
Launched
Already live as a coin; trade link is shown
Pinned / Hot
Highlighted by volume or virality
💰 2️⃣ Buy or Bid on a Trend
If a trend is available, users can purchase it instantly by paying 1 SOL, receiving:
The Trend NFT (ownership proof)
Rights to launch or resell the trend
If already owned:
You can make an offer (in SOL)
Your offer is locked in escrow until accepted or canceled
Once accepted, the transfer and payment are handled on-chain automatically
🚀 3️⃣ Launch Your Trend Coin
Once you own a trend, you can launch it through the Creator Dashboard (#Owned → Inactive).
Step 1: Verification & Setup
Upload image and verify trend identity
Confirm ownership (NFT held in wallet)
Step 2: Liquidity & Configuration
Add liquidity (minimum 1 SOL, no max)
See live launch price, creator allocation, and fee breakdown
Choose Instant Launch or Scheduled Launch (set date & time)
After confirmation, the system creates a liquidity pool on Solana with:
Trend Coin / SOL pair
Locked launch configuration
Automatic dynamic fee structure
⏱ 4️⃣ Anti-Snipe Launch Window
To prevent bot exploitation, the first few blocks (3-6) post-launch have 100% trading fees. After this short period, the Dynamic Fee Curve starts:
0–60s
50%
61–120s
45%
121–180s
40%
181–240s
35%
...
...
After 10 min
1% lifetime fee
This ensures fairness and protects liquidity from sniper bots.
🔁 5️⃣ Trading Phase
After the anti-snipe phase ends, the trend coin trades freely. Every transaction generates a dual fee:
50% in SOL → sent to the creator’s claimable balance
50% in Trend Coin → automatically burned
💎 Effect:
Supply continuously decreases
Creator earns SOL as long as trading happens
Platform earns its share transparently from every trade
🧾 6️⃣ Claiming Creator Fees
Creators can view and claim their earned fees via the #Owned → Active dashboard.
Fees accumulate in SOL in real time
90% goes to the creator
10% goes to the platform
Claiming is gas-efficient and handled on-chain.
🔄 7️⃣ Resale & Pre-Owned Market
If a creator hasn’t launched their trend yet:
They can set an Ask Price directly from Inactive tab
The system automatically lists it in Pre-Owned
Buyers can discover and purchase existing unlaunched trends
This creates a secondary market for trend ideas — like flipping digital “attention domains.”
📊 8️⃣ Trader Portfolio
Traders can track their holdings from the Portfolio Dashboard, which shows:
Trend coin balances
Current price, 24h change, USD value
Total portfolio value
Swap options (to SOL or other trend coins)
Future versions will also display TREND token rewards for active participants.
🧠 Summary Flow
Discover → Buy Trend → Launch Coin → Anti-Snipe Phase → Trade → Earn Fees → Claim or ResellEach action happens on-chain, fully transparent and permissionless.
🔗 Ecosystem Flywheel
Trends Launch → New attention enters
Trading Activity → Generates fees + burns supply
Creators Earn → Incentivized to launch more trends
Scarcity Increases → Demand rises for future launches
Community Grows → Constant flow of new viral moments
Xtrends is a self-reinforcing attention economy — the more people trade trends, the more valuable the entire ecosystem becomes.
