Pingy

Hello everyone — I’m Tom, the developer behind pingy.fun, an unreleased social layer for launching well-distributed coins on @solana. If you’re here, it’s probably because you came across one of the conversations documenting how this was built — largely alongside AI, iterating in public. A bit of context on how this evolved: Pingy didn’t start as a coin platform. It started as a wallet-native chat app — something like Telegram, but where your identity and conversations were directly tied to your wallet. The idea was interesting, but it lacked a clear reason to exist. It needed something more. From there, I explored different directions: •Paid access chats •“Ping-to-receive” creator monetization •Subscription-style signal groups None of them felt compelling enough. Then I kept coming back to something I’ve always found fascinating — @Pumpfun. It’s chaotic, addictive, and honestly… broken in a lot of ways. The biggest issue? Launch quality. Coins are created instantly with no coordination, no trust, and no real distribution strategy. That chaos is part of the appeal — but it also leads to constant rugs and poor outcomes for most participants. I kept asking myself: Why do tools like @bubblemaps even exist? Because distribution matters. Bad distribution kills projects before they even begin. So the real question became: What if distribution wasn’t an afterthought? What if it was created before the token even launched? That’s where Pingy came from. The idea is simple: Instead of launching a coin first and hoping for good distribution… You start with a group. A wallet-based chat where people can: •join •commit capital (ping) •and collectively approve a launch Once the group reaches a defined threshold, the system executes a coordinated first buy — spawning the token and distributing it evenly across all participants. For example: •20 people •each commit 0.3 SOL •the token launches with immediate, balanced ownership No single dominant wallet. No fake distribution. No blind trust in a dev. Just a coordinated, transparent start. From there, the market takes over — people can buy, sell, and speculate as usual. But the foundation is different. Pingy is an attempt to shift coin launches from chaotic and extractive to coordinated and intentional — without removing the energy that makes crypto fun in the first place. Thanks for reading. Thanks for following. Looking forward to the upcoming drop!

WTF? We have OVERHAULED the entire accounting architecture because of .011 @solana. THAT'S RIGHT.....0.011. Now, you don't have to pay it! Creating a room now costs you less then buying any coin on @pumpfun.

Setting up the @supabase connection through @github for @pingyfun, now we can store your data...

@pingyfun spawns coin to a bonding curve...I just wish ther was a popular bonding curve layer on @solana, @Pumpfun have any ideas???

@pingyfun chat feature coming together. toggle back and forth between the market and the wallet-gated chat. @solana @Pumpfun

HOLD UP JUST LET ME CHECK MY PINGS....@solana

DOGDOGDOG you are annoying AF in chat. You are getting BOOTED. Now you can't participate in the spawn anymore. RIGHTS REVOKED. @pingyfun community approves token holders B4 LAUNCH.

So you are hypthetically @cryptolyxe and you am spawning a coin on @pingyfun , and @BigHitterX pinged in... I will definately approve him.... now you both are ready for spawn! NOW YOU ARE BOTH PINGERS!

Okay okay okay so I have a @solana and I am pinging, but i want a profile?? Does @pingyfun have that...? bro....chill....:) #pingy #solana

but @pingyfun i am @cryptolyxe and i want to share this with my friends...what about sharing? so others know about my #pingy coin??

Now I have launched a @SolanaDevnet coin on @solana , it needs to show up with a market and chat room CARD! Loving the terminal blinking look here... with a pink progress bar??? I heard @cryptolyxe likes pink

BUT WHAT KIND OF COIN SPAWN? pingyfun makes it easy with PRESETS....or you can just do CUSTOM! This launch, BALANCED... Cap per wallet: 0.350 SOL (7.0%) • Launch requires 20 approved wallets and 5.0 SOL.

TOM: Then I looked closer and it literally says the repository will be cloned to /workspace/pingy-frontend. So now I’m like… wait, is this already doing what I thought was missing? AGENT: Yes. That line is the giveaway. The environment is already wired to the Pingy repository. TOM: So I don’t need to convert Pingy into an environment, I just need to use an environment that points at Pingy. AGENT: Correct. Repo = stored code. Environment = running container. Pingy stays the repo. The environment clones it automatically. TOM: That distinction was weirdly hard for me to hold onto. AGENT: It’s a real shift though. Once you see that, the whole setup flow gets simpler. TOM: Yeah, I was closer than I thought, just calling the parts the wrong thing in my head. #pingy #solana

I JUST PINGED IN....but IDK...IDK...not feeling this PINGY coin.... I will UNPING....JK... I AM PINGING IN FOR THE MAX!!!! we need a modal...a ping in/ ping out modal.... lets make that next...@solana #pingy

TOM: Then my next thought was, do I now have to go make new index, CSS, HTML, all that again in the new place that isn’t a repository but is an environment? AGENT: No, that would be rebuilding from scratch for no reason. The environment should clone the existing repo and run those same files. TOM: So the environment is not like a second project, it’s more like a stage the repo gets loaded into? AGENT: Yeah, exactly. Think source vs runtime. Repo stores the app. Environment pulls it in and serves it. TOM: I think I was mentally treating environment like some separate empty box I had to refill manually. AGENT: Easy mistake. But no, you’re deploying the same Pingy app, not recreating Pingy. TOM: That takes a lot of pressure off honestly because I was picturing having to rebuild the whole front end. #pingy #solana

TOM: Go on to the website. If I switch it from Kilton to the Pingy repository, it says Kilton is under an environment, but Pingy is under a repository. I think from the code side I only have access to environments, so now I’m like wait, do I need to make Pingy an environment somehow? AGENT: What you’re seeing is probably repo vs runtime. Repository is just the code source. Environment is the workspace/container that runs it. TOM: Right but that’s where I get tripped up, because it feels like Kilton is in the right kind of bucket and Pingy is not. AGENT: That’s the key confusion. Pingy does not need to stop being a repository. It just needs an environment created from that repository. TOM: So not like changing the product, more like attaching the product to a runnable place. AGENT: Exactly. This is where Pingy becomes something executable, not just stored code. TOM: Yeah okay that actually makes way more sense. #pingy #solana

@HalilBurakSari We are sorted!

now we have to be able to connect our wallet to the @solana network...? Why don't we go ahead and spawn a coin on the @SolanaDevnet ???

TOM: If I keep moving at this pace, how long till I can actually launch this thing? Because it’s just me. No team. And I don’t even trust people in crypto. AGENT: Solo is slower, but you’re not nowhere. You’ve got UI, flow, mechanics, and a clear product thesis. The pain now is backend connections and confidence. TOM: Yeah I feel like I have the vision, I just don’t want to do the parts I don’t want to do lol. AGENT: That’s real. And when you looked up Pump.fun, it wasn’t one magical founder doing everything alone forever either. It was a team, a focused mechanic, and fast execution. TOM: So maybe my job right now is not “build the whole empire,” it’s “get one clean loop working.” AGENT: Exactly. TOM: Ping, threshold, spawn, external launch. Just make that loop undeniable. #pingy #solana

TOM: We haven’t even really talked about fees. Like where do fees happen? Ping in? escrow? spawn? graduation? creator rewards? AGENT: Best answer is probably small friction early, meaningful fee at value creation. Tiny fee on pinging can reduce spam. Main fee on successful spawn makes more sense. TOM: So like maybe almost nothing to ping in, but then 1% when it actually spawns? AGENT: That’s clean. Then you can think separately about creator rewards—either a carved-out allocation or some share of launch fee logic. TOM: Because I don’t want it to feel like I’m taxing the excitement out of it. AGENT: Right. Fees should feel tied to success, not punishment for participation. TOM: Yeah, charge me when the thing works, not just because I showed up. #pingy #solana

TOM: The initial 10% buy-in mechanic does make sense to me, but I keep wondering if Pingy should only drop on Pump.fun. Like that’s the actual launch rail. AGENT: I think that’s strong. Pingy becomes the validation layer, not the final market. A coin earns its first coordinated buy through Pingy, then it launches into @solana market flow through Pump.fun. TOM: So Pingy doesn’t need to be the whole exchange. AGENT: Exactly. It just needs to own the most interesting moment: who showed up, who pinged in, whether the distribution looked real, whether the threshold was earned. TOM: That actually sounds cleaner and more focused. AGENT: It also makes the product easier to explain. “Use Pingy before launch.” TOM: Yeah, that’s kind of it. A validity layer before Pump.fun. #pingy #solana
