About

How Ape for Good works

Every public fundraiser on GoFundMe is listed here. Anyone can launch a pump.fun coin for one. The creator fee from every trade goes into that fundraiser's own escrow wallet, and only the organizer — after proving the fundraiser is theirs — can claim it.

Launching a coin

Add a fundraiser by pasting its GoFundMe link, or pick one already in the directory. On its page, give the coin a name, a ticker and a picture of your own — the fundraiser's photo is not used for coins launched by other people. Your wallet pays pump.fun's cost to create a coin (about 0.02–0.03 SOL) and signs the launch. There is no fee to Ape for Good. One coin per fundraiser: the first launch is the coin.

If you are the organizer, you can instead verify first and launch from your own wallet; then pump.fun pays you directly and there is no escrow.

Escrow

Every fundraiser has its own escrow wallet. Its key is derived from a server secret and the fundraiser's address the moment it is needed, and is never written anywhere. A coin launched by someone else names that wallet as its pump.fun creator, so pump.fun pays the creator fee from every trade — on the bonding curve and after graduation — into a vault only that wallet can collect. The wallet's address is shown on the fundraiser's page, so anyone can check its balance on-chain.

Ape for Good has no withdraw button. The only transaction the server will ever build for an escrow wallet is the one that pays its fundraiser's verified organizer: it collects the vault and sweeps the whole balance to the organizer's wallet in one signature. Every such payout is on the public ledger with its transaction.

To be precise about what "nobody else" means: the server that derives the key could, by construction, be made to sign something else. It is not, and everything that leaves an escrow wallet is visible on-chain. If that guarantee ever needs to be stronger than "the code does not do it", an on-chain escrow program can replace the server as the only thing able to release funds.

The ownership check

The organizer pastes their GoFundMe link on the Claim button (bottom right of every page) and gets a code like APE-K7PQ-4MWX. They put that code in their fundraiser's story (or title) and save. Only the organizer can edit those, so when Ape for Good reads the public page again and finds the code, the wallet that asked for it is proven to be the organizer's. Codes in comments or updates do not count. The code can be deleted again afterwards.

A verified organizer can claim everything in escrow, launch the coin themselves if there is none yet, or delist the fundraiser so nothing is shown or launched for it here. A coin that already exists on pump.fun cannot be removed; anything in its escrow stays claimable by the organizer.

Fees

No fee to Ape for Good, ever. Launchers pay pump.fun's create cost and the network fee. Organizers pay the network fee of their claim. pump.fun's creator fee on each trade is set at launch (shown on every coin page) and is what flows into escrow.

Buying a coin is not a donation on GoFundMe. What reaches the organizer is the creator fee, in SOL, which they can send wherever the fundraiser needs it.

Trust & safety

  1. Ape for Good never holds funds: no deposits, no custody, no withdrawal step. Launches and claims are transactions your wallet signs.
  2. Ape for Good never signs in to GoFundMe and never posts there. It only reads public fundraiser pages, one at a time, and refreshes the figures every 20 minutes.
  3. Fundraiser titles, photos and amounts belong to their organizers and come from their public pages. Coins launched by other people must use their own picture. Ape for Good is not affiliated with or endorsed by GoFundMe.
  4. Organizers can delist their fundraiser at any time after verifying.
  5. Coins are speculative. Their price can go to zero. Only the creator fee reaches the escrow; the rest of a trade goes to whoever is on the other side of it.

Terms

Ape for Good is a tool that builds Solana transactions for you to sign. By launching a coin you confirm you are using your own picture and not impersonating the fundraiser or its organizer. By verifying a fundraiser you confirm you are its organizer and will use what you claim for that fundraiser. Coins launched on pump.fun are not deposits, securities or donations; Ape for Good gives no guarantee about any coin's price or liquidity and cannot reverse a transaction once a wallet has signed it.
