How the cycle works.

1The wash cycle

Every token on SpinCycle is a load of laundry in its own machine, launched on a Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve. The tub starts empty. Buying puts SOL into the curve and the water rises; selling takes SOL out and it drains. How full the curve is decides the phase on the machine's display.

2Drum speed

The drum turns with trading, in both directions: every lamport that went in or out of the curve in the last 15 minutes counts. Nothing moved: the drum stands still. Anything moved: it spins between 400 and 1600 rpm, faster the more SOL went through (on a square-root scale, so small loads still visibly turn). Above about two thirds of full speed the machine starts to rattle, and at the top it walks across the floor.

Speed says busy, not up. A drum spinning at 1600 rpm can be full of sellers.

3DING

When — SOL is in the curve, the tub is full and the machine goes DING. The load is clean: the bonding curve closes and its liquidity moves into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool. The position in that pool is locked for good; nobody can pull it.

The token gets folded onto the Fresh & Clean shelf and trading carries on in the pool. Its page keeps working: the coin-op routes your trade to the pool and the quote says so. Ding! Your bag is ready. Whether anyone still wants it is another question.

4Lost socks

A load that hasn't moved for 24 hours (and is at least that old) is a lost sock. It drops off the floor into the Lost Socks box. Nothing happens to the token or its curve: one trade and it's found again, back on the floor. Clean laundry is never lost. Every sock gets lost eventually; most stay lost.

5Putting a load in

Name, ticker, picture, a description and optional X and website links. You can add a first buy in the same transaction, between 0.001 SOL and — SOL (30% of the curve). After that, the curve is the same for everyone: no presale and no team allocation.

The laundromat opens with the first load from the house wallet: Machine No.001, the house machine. Until it's running only that wallet can launch; right after, everyone can.

6Where the money goes

No subscriptions, no hidden coin slots. These are read from the laundromat's configuration.

Launch fee

—SOL

Paid once by whoever launches, in the launch transaction. Meteora keeps a slice; the rest goes to SpinCycle.

Trading fee

—%

On every buy and sell on the curve. Meteora takes its protocol cut first.

Creator share

—%

Of the fee left after Meteora's cut, for the token's creator. They claim it on the token's page.

SpinCycle

—%

The rest of that fee goes to the platform. That's how the lights stay on.

After a DING, the locked pool position earns the pool's trading fees; they're shared between the creator and the platform. Whatever the curve holds beyond what the pool needs at migration (if anything) is claimed by the creator and the platform under Meteora's rules. Network fees and account rent go to Solana, not to us. Nobody at SpinCycle promises a profit, and nothing we earn depends on your token going up.

Trades built and sent through this site count toward a rank once the network confirms them. Ranks are titles: nothing is paid on them.

8Your wallet, checked

The server builds each transaction, but your browser opens it first. This page decodes every instruction and refuses anything that isn't on a short list: the Meteora programs, the token programs, a compute budget, your own token accounts, and the exact amount you typed. If the check fails, your wallet never sees it. After you sign, the signed copy is checked again before it is sent.
