UPSOL Whitepaper
Executive Summary
UPSOL (Upside SOL) is a tokenomics experiment on Solana designed to maintain upward price momentum through a transparent, treasury-driven market engine. Unlike traditional tokens that simply exist as speculative assets, UPSOL creates a self-sustaining flywheel where:
- Trading activity generates creator fees that are auto-claimed in real-time
- Claimed fees flow into a treasury used for market support operations
- Trend signals trigger micro-buybacks on dips and sells into strength
- Every action is visible through a live, on-chain dashboard
Core Innovation: UPSOL turns the typically extractive creator fee mechanism into a community benefit by automatically claiming fees and routing them into a transparent treasury strategy.
The Problem: Volatility Without Value
The current token landscape suffers from several fundamental issues:
- Extractive Fees: Creator fees benefit only the token creator, not the community that generates the trading volume.
- No Floor Protection: When momentum slows, there's no mechanism to support the market or reward loyal holders.
- Opacity: Token mechanics are often unclear, with no real-time visibility into how value flows through the system.
- Short-term Focus: Most tokens lack mechanisms that incentivize long-term holding or community building.
UPSOL addresses each of these problems by creating a transparent, self-reinforcing system where trading activity directly benefits the community.
The Solution: The UPSOL Engine
UPSOL introduces the UPSOL Engine — a continuous treasury system that automatically claims creator fees and deploys them based on market signals.
The engine creates two continuous outcomes:
Scenario A (Downtrend): Treasury executes micro-buybacks to provide support and absorb volatility.
Scenario B (Uptrend): Treasury sells small tranches into volume to replenish SOL reserves for future buybacks.
In both scenarios, the community benefits. Treasury actions are paced and transparent, aiming to smooth volatility without human intervention.
Core Mechanics
Automatic Fee Claiming:
UPSOL uses the PumpPortal API to automatically claim creator fees on a fixed cadence. Claimed fees flow into the treasury without manual intervention.
Signal-Driven Trading:
- Short/long price averages generate a trend signal
- Downtrends trigger micro-buybacks
- Uptrends with volume trigger small sells
- Trades are rate-limited and sized as a percentage of treasury
Fibonacci-Paced Trading:
Treasury operations use Fibonacci timing sequences to optimize trade execution. During strong uptrends, trade pacing slows to avoid selling into momentum. During downtrends, micro-buybacks occur more frequently to provide support.
Tokenomics
- Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 UPSOL
- Network: Solana (SPL Token)
- Launch: pump.fun fair launch
- Creator Fee: Variable (0.05% - 0.95% based on market cap)
All creator fees flow through the UPSOL system — claimed on-chain and routed into the treasury that powers market support operations.
No Team Allocation: There is no reserved allocation for the team. All tokens were distributed through fair launch, and the team participates as regular holders subject to the same treasury mechanics.
Treasury Operations
The treasury is a key innovation in UPSOL, providing automated market support without human intervention.
Buyback Protocol:
- Monitors price movements in real-time
- Executes micro-buybacks during price dips
- Uses Fibonacci timing to pace purchases optimally
- Never front-runs or manipulates — only provides support
Sell Protocol:
- Identifies high-volume uptrend conditions
- Sells small tranches to replenish SOL reserves
- Ensures sustainable treasury operations long-term
- Limits sell pressure through rate limiting
Warmup Mode:
Early in the token's lifecycle, the system operates in "warmup mode" — executing rapid micro-trades to build initial treasury reserves before transitioning to normal operations.

Risks & Disclaimer
UPSOL is an experimental protocol. Participation involves significant risks:
- Smart Contract Risk: While tested, the system may contain undiscovered vulnerabilities.
- Market Risk: Token prices can go to zero. Past treasury actions do not guarantee future returns.
- Platform Risk: Dependencies on pump.fun, PumpPortal, and Solana infrastructure.
- Regulatory Risk: Cryptocurrency regulations continue to evolve globally.
