A thread becomes a coin. The source stays attached.
4pad lets you take a public thread, shape a coin concept from it, and keep a link to where the idea came from. Here is what happens at each step, what the fee options really mean, and what the site does not do yet.
What you're looking at
4pad shows real public threads from 4chan boards. You can read them, save the ones you like, and start a coin concept from any of them. The concept keeps the thread link, so anyone can see where the name and idea came from.
4pad is independent. It is not run by, endorsed by, or affiliated with 4chan, Pump.fun or any token issuer.
The steps
- Find a thread. Browse a board, search, or paste a 4chan thread link.
- Shape the concept. Choose a name (up to 32 characters), a ticker (2–10 letters or numbers), a short description, and artwork. Your original thread stays linked the whole time.
- Choose a fee route. Decide who receives creator fees. See the table below.
- Review. Check everything on the review screen. It shows the network, the fee route and the source link.
- Launch. Your wallet signs and pays. Once it confirms, you get a mint address and links to Solana Explorer.
The three fee routes
| Route | Who gets creator fees | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Launcher | The wallet that launched the coin | Works now |
| Verified poster | The person who proves they posted with the tripcode, if the launcher agrees to share | Works, with the launcher's agreement. Read the notes below. |
| Treasury | A wallet the site owner chooses | Not built yet. Fees go to the launcher until it is. |
Verified poster, step by step:
- The launcher picks a public tripcode for the coin.
- The poster gets a one-time code from 4pad and posts it in the original thread, using that tripcode.
- 4pad checks the thread for that post, and the poster signs a message with the wallet they want to receive fees in.
- The poster sends the proof to the launcher. The launcher decides whether to share fees, and sets the split on-chain.
What the proof does and doesn't show. It shows that someone holding that tripcode posted in the thread. It does not show who they are, and it does not show that they started the thread. Anyone who knows the tripcode password can claim the same thing. A split, once set on-chain, can only be set once.
What 4pad does not do
- It doesn't hold your money. Your wallet signs every transaction.
- It doesn't give investment advice, price predictions or promises of returns.
- It can't rename or delete a coin once it is launched.
- It can't guarantee that a thread will still exist. Threads expire and get deleted.
- It doesn't check whether a coin's name, image or idea is yours to use. Ideas from threads belong to whoever made them.
Before you launch
Coins can lose value. Launch with an amount you are comfortable with.
Launches use real SOL on Solana mainnet. Check the network and the amount in your wallet before you approve.
18+ only. The threads come from public boards and can contain offensive posts and images.
Your data
Drafts, saved threads and display settings are stored in your browser, not on our servers. Your wallet address is shared with the site only when you connect a wallet. See the privacy policy for the full details, and the terms of use before you launch anything.
