Stars to markets

What repo.ing is, on one page. A star is free. A market pays the builder.

A GitHub star costs nothing to give. It also pays the builder nothing. repo.ing is built around that gap.

On repo.ing, any public GitHub repo can have a market. Anyone can launch it. You do not have to own the repo. People trade the market’s coin on Solana, and about 1% of every trade goes to the repo’s builders.

How a market works

  1. Find a repo. Any public GitHub project.
  2. Launch its market. It costs 0 SOL. You pick a name and approve in your wallet.
  3. People trade. Buys move the price up a bonding curve. Sells move it down.

Every trade pays a 1.75% fee. 0.994% of the trade goes to the builders. They verify with GitHub and claim it in SOL.

Try it: a repo market on the curve

example market
SOL in the curve
31.40/ 85 SOL
Builders earned
0.3177SOL
85 SOL: graduates to Meteora0 SOLprice

Example state: 31.40 SOL in the curve after about 32 SOL of buys.

A model with made-up trades. Builders get 0.994% of every buy and every sell. Graduation depends only on the SOL left in the curve.

Graduation

When 85 SOL sits in the curve, the market graduates. It moves to a Meteora pool and the pool’s liquidity is locked for good, 50% in the builders’ position and 50% in repo.ing’s. The builders keep earning after graduation.

One market per project

A fork of a repo that already has a market is refused. Other forks get a “Fork of” label that points to the parent. This keeps one project from being split across ten coins.

More than repos

  • Hooks coins. A coin with its own rules, built from Blocks.
  • Paperhands Pot. Early sellers pay a fee, most of it to the holders and the rest to repo.ing. Read how.
  • Paired coins. A coin traded against SOL, USDC, $REPOING or a tokenized stock, on Meteora. No repo needed.
  • Colony. A coin paired with SOL where holders earn ANT.
  • Last Stand. Relaunch a dead Pump.fun coin for the wallets that lost money on it.

The plain part

Few coins graduate, and any coin can go to zero. Buy only what you can afford to lose. A market on a repo does not mean its builders endorse the coin. It means the fees are waiting for them.
