YouTube coins are live

You don’t have to own a channel to launch its coin. Every trade pays a small fee, and most of it is held for the channel’s owner.

The owner can prove the channel today and choose the wallet to be paid. Payouts are not open yet, so the money waits.

Where the fee goes

The launcher picks a fee of 1% or 2% of each trade. It stays the same for the life of the coin. Here is where it goes:

• The channel: 68% of the fee, or 0.68% or 1.36% of each trade.
• repo.ing: 12% of the fee, or 0.12% or 0.24% of each trade. It buys $REPOING, which is locked for 12 months and then goes to repo.ing’s treasury. That is all repo.ing takes.
• Meteora, where the coin trades: 20% of the fee, or 0.2% or 0.4% of each trade.
• The launcher: nothing.

For the first 10 seconds after launch, the fee starts at 90% and drops to the coin’s fee. This makes sniping a launch expensive.

A coin graduates when its curve holds $7,800 of the token it trades against, priced on launch day. After that every coin pays 1%, split the same way, and its liquidity is locked for good.

Is it your channel?

Go to repo.ing/youtube/claim. There is no Google sign-in. repo.ing only reads your channel’s public page.

1. Paste your channel’s link.
2. Connect a wallet and choose “Set this wallet as the payout wallet”. You sign a message. It is free and sends nothing.
3. Add the code to your channel. Put the one-time code at the very start of your channel’s description (YouTube Studio, Customization, Basic info, Description), then save.
4. Press Check. YouTube can take a few minutes to show the change, so try again if the code is not found. The code works once, for that wallet, for 60 minutes. You can delete it after.

The code proves you can edit the channel. The owner can, and so can a manager. So changing the payout wallet takes a new code and waits 24 hours, and anyone who can prove the channel can cancel it in that time.

Payouts open soon

Proving a channel, setting the payout wallet and seeing what is held all work today. Paying out does not work yet. The claim page says: “Payouts open soon. The channel’s fees are held for its owner until then.”

When payouts open, the payout wallet signs a claim and the money is sent to that wallet, and to no other.

Who holds the money

repo.ing collects the fee and keeps the channel’s share in a wallet that repo.ing holds, with a record of which channel each amount is for. The share is never taken and never expires.

This is custody, not a program on the blockchain. You are trusting repo.ing to keep the money and pay it to the wallet the owner sets.

Don’t want a coin for your channel?

Prove the channel the same way and choose “Hide coins for my channel”. repo.ing stops showing its coins and refuses new ones. The coins still trade on Solana, and fees already held stay yours to claim. A new code shows them again. No wallet? Message repo.ing on X.

Launch one

Go to repo.ing/youtube. You need the channel’s link, a name, a symbol, an image and a wallet. Pick the fee and one of 102 tokens to trade against, such as SOL, USDC or a tokenized stock. repo.ing charges no launch fee. You only pay Solana’s account deposits and network fee, shown before you sign.

You earn nothing from launching it. Don’t say or suggest that the channel made the coin or backs it. The coin’s page says someone else launched it for the channel, and adds: “It is not made or endorsed by the channel or by YouTube.” That stays after the owner claims.

A channel can have more than one coin. All their fees are held for the same channel.

Good to know

repo.ing reads YouTube’s public pages, so lookups can break for a while if YouTube changes them. Trading and held fees don’t depend on YouTube. repo.ing is not affiliated with YouTube or Google.

A YouTube coin is still a coin. Holding one pays you nothing: no part of the fee goes to holders. It is not a share of the channel or of anything it earns. Few coins graduate, and any coin can go to zero.
