You don't buy a coin. You dig a pond.
Frogs go where the water is.
What this is
TOAD is the frog. POND is the water it comes to. POND is a pump.fun holder-rewards coin quoted in TOAD, which means two things at once.
You earn TOAD by holding POND. The creator fee on every POND trade is set aside for POND holders and paid out in TOAD, several times an hour, automatically. Nothing to claim. What that comes to depends on the fee rate, on how much trading there is, and on the size of your bag next to everyone else's.
Two things worth knowing before you buy: pump.fun says longer holds raise a holder's ceiling, but has not published how that is calculated, so treat it as their claim rather than ours. And holdings worth less than about $20 are not eligible for rewards at all.
Every pond dug is a TOAD buy. Because POND is priced in TOAD, nobody can buy POND without buying TOAD first. That is not a promise we make. It is how the pair works.
POND is a tribute, not a rival. There is one frog. We just dug it some water. Go follow TOAD.
How to dig a pond
Three steps. The middle one is the one people miss.
Any exchange or on-ramp. Send it to a Solana wallet you control.
POND is quoted in TOAD, so TOAD is the currency of the pond. This step is not optional.
Now you hold a pond. Once your bag is worth about $20 or more, TOAD starts arriving on its own — pump.fun pays it out several times an hour, automatically.
