hours @hoursonsol

gm ⏳ 23K SOL traded. 95 coins. 3 chains. and as of today, a new kind of hours: overtime. every buy adds time to the clock. stop buying, it closes. we keep building. hours.fun

how overtime works: · you pick the bell and the latest it can ever close · it opens for a few minutes (you choose: 2 to 30) · every buy adds time (you choose: 15 seconds to 5 minutes) · sells and sends are allowed, but add nothing · clock hits zero: closed. every buy, sell and send fails until the next bell the rules are written into the coin at launch.

introducing overtime. a coin that opens at its bell for a few minutes. every buy adds time to the clock. keep buying, it stays open. stop buying, it closes. until the next bell. the market is only open while people want it open. hours.fun/launch

gm ⏳ new hours on hours.fun shipping soon. like a market that stays open only as long as people keep buying. every buy adds time to the clock. more this week.

you can launch a coin that only trades during one hour of the week. which hour, and why?

gm ⏳ $2.65M traded. 94 coins launched, on 3 chains. 5.2M solana:7r1v5rZcGnyzVs1jei7FeMEiZVf4GhQgLYXjZHmMUDGQ burned. both hook programs locked forever. six days in. we keep building.

22 shades of solana. a degen’s quick & dirty guide to hooks on solana. tl;dr on hooks: think BDSM, but for tokens: who gets to participate, what’s allowed & where the boundaries are. token-2022 is solana’s token program with optional extensions. one of them, transfer hooks, lets builders add custom logic that runs during transfers. a hook can check whether the recipient meets the token’s rules & reject the transfer if they don’t. hooks are v fun: they give permissionless infrastructure very specific permissions. -- let’s look at the past, present & potential of hooks the past: one early motivation was NFT royalties: how could creators enforce transfer conditions when people could simply switch marketplaces? existing approaches often involved freezing tokens & routing interactions through intermediary programs. transfer hooks offered a standard interface for custom transfer logic. by june 2023, developers were already working on tooling for hooks. in january 2024, the solana foundation’s broader token extensions announcement highlighted them for identity checks, token-gated access & royalty enforcement. so! hooks on solana have existed long before today's particular party started. -- the present: meteora ecosystem launchpad builders are driving adoption of hooks on solana. @Hoookedpad combines meteora DBC with token-2022 transfer hooks. its live experiments include separate buy & sell limits and restrictions tied to particular buying routes. meteora handles the bonding curve; the hook adds conditions to token transfers. so! see below for the evolving list of builders playing with hooks on solana. -- the potential: we can have endless fun with hooks examples: - community tokens that check membership. - tokenized assets that check investor eligibility. - games where holding one asset lets you receive another. - trading of tokens during specific hours eg @hoursonsol -- what's holding innovation back? integrations (among other things): - wallets & trading apps need to supply the accounts a hook requires. - supporting token-2022 doesn’t automatically mean supporting every custom hook. we want to see more creative & widespread uses of hooks on solana. so! meteora devs are in the chats! we are shipping banger solutions to accelerate integrating hooks. hooks on solana. higher. builders will win. meteora ∞

start later, explained. launch your coin today. open trading on the day you choose. the coin and its page go live right away with a countdown. trading stays closed until the first bell. · announce on monday, open on friday · build the crowd before a single trade · the market opens for everyone at the same second after the first bell it keeps its normal weekly hours. hours.fun/launch → start on a later day

event coins, explained. a normal hours.fun coin opens every week. an event coin doesn't. you give it exact dates, and it only trades on those. · one night: a fight, a final, a launch. trades 3 hours, then never again · a series: every match day, every episode. up to 16 dates · once a year: one hour on new year's eve. miss it, wait twelve months between events it's closed. after the last one, it's done forever. hours.fun/launch → events only

gm. big week ahead. new features lined up, and we're shipping them one by one. stay close.

the state of hooks on solana: 5th october experimentation with solana native token standards the design space for token-22 transfer hooks is opening up fast. builders on SOLANA are experimenting with who can hold a token, when it trades, where liquidity sits & how trading activity funds the next round. @METEORAAG DBC is becoming a foundation for these experiments, supporting innovation in both how assets launch & how their markets behave. -- a select list of projects building for hooks on solana: → @Hoookedpad: tokens with their own rules. 597 launches, 9 graduations & 33 rules in use, according to its dashboard. 36 rules available across 29 mainnet hook programs, spanning holder restrictions, trading venues, rewards & linked tokens. its latest addition, conviction cap, increases a wallet’s buy limit as it holds without selling. builders can also combine compatible rules, creating more elaborate launch mechanics. → @hoursonsol: markets with opening hours. built on meteora DBC, hours lets creators choose a trading schedule. outside those hours, the token’s transfer hook rejects buys, sells & transfers. the schedule becomes part of the asset itself. → @specfun: configure your coin. quote assets, fees, extensions & AI-assisted custom hooks. its site advertises 71 extensions, taking the idea towards a broader toolkit for programmable launches. → @LaunchonBread: protecting fee-generating liquidity. the proposed approach is to restrict trading to the main launch pool, keeping activity in the pool that funds rewards. → @embercurve: a wider laboratory for launch economics. custom pairs, curves & fee-routing experiments belong in this conversation too. its latest hook mechanics extend that toolkit. → @fffactoryhq: an entire economic game. CRIME, FRAUD & PROFIT form a three-token system where variable trading taxes fund staker rewards, buybacks & burns. transfer hooks help enforce the system, while changing tax regimes create opportunities for arbitrage. → @curvebond: another approach to launch economics. a project to watch alongside the hooks cohort, with its current hook functionality & metrics still growing. -- why are token-22 transfer hooks so important? they give builders more ways to turn token mechanics into products people can understand, choose & experiment with. transfer hooks push forward innovation - builders are asking so many fascinating & highly necessary questions: - can holding longer unlock higher buying limits? - can a meme have market hours? - can tokens respond to each other? - can trading fees sustain rewards, deepen liquidity & fund new activity? each question opens up something new to build. new behaviours, new products & new reasons for people to come onchain - specifically to SOLANA. -- why are token-22 transfer hooks bullish for solana? they give builders more ways to turn solana’s native capabilities into products people want to use. every useful experiment creates another reason to build, trade & bring assets onto solana. -- from experimentation to adoption: hooks will grow. the challenge is turning those experiments into products people keep coming back to: earning sustained users, attracting liquidity & giving that capital reasons to stay. product-market fit has to be earned, then renewed as people’s needs change. as their products earn adoption, they strengthen the standards beneath them, growing reasons to build on solana. these builders are doing the work at the frontier of tokenization. they are making solana the most compelling place for the next generation of builders. godspeed to them & all innovators. builders will win. meteora ∞ (this is a quick analysis!

how hours.fun works

"tested" is a promise. "immutable" is a fact. every hook program on hours.fun is locked. no upgrade key exists. the rule your coin launched with is the rule it keeps, forever. if a launchpad can still upgrade its hooks, it can still change your coin. don't trust us, check solscan: 6PZo2hUZB8EHRahXPRRE1U7ZijKL2hd9Pn2xnrHy2e2X 2uRdhsyLN5zUpPxDKR1nMrG3dLWKGUjZE5Lh4uZSQbL4

gm ⏳ if you could launch a coin that only trades at one moment, what and when would it be?
