How a seed sets
Hold at least 0.01% of the supply for 3 readings in a row. You take the next number. A reading is a snapshot of the chain.
Numbers follow the order of first qualifying buys. A number belongs to one wallet, for good. The colour of your seed comes from the hash of that wallet.
Where it sits
Seed n sits at radius c√n and angle n × 137.508°. This is the rule Helmut Vogel published in 1979 to construct a sunflower head. Any number gives one place, and anyone can compute it.
What a hole is
Sell everything and your place empties. Nobody else can take it, and the number is never given again. If you buy back, you do not get a new seed.
Selling part of your position keeps your seed. Dropping under 0.01% keeps it too, but it stops counting as a real holder until you are back above the line.
When a coin harvests
Real holders are seeds still holding at least 0.01%. When they reach one of these counts, the coin records a harvest.
Each harvest is recorded once. If holders fall under a count and come back, it is not recorded again. A harvest is a milestone: nothing is bought back or burned automatically.
Where the fees go
The launcher is the creator of the coin and signs the launch from their own wallet. Every creator fee goes to that wallet, and Sunflower takes no share.
The launcher decides what to do with those fees. Nothing forces a buyback or a burn, and Sunflower cannot check a promise made elsewhere.
How to check it
Every seed, hole and harvest is recomputed from chain readings. The same readings give the same fingerprint, shown on each coin's page. No AI decides anything and there is no hidden list.
What can go wrong
Most coins never reach 55 real holders. In a sample of 25 random pump.fun launches measured on 9 November 2026, 6 to 18 hours after launch, one had reached it.
A harvest is a milestone. It does not change the supply, it does not set a price, and nothing here promises one. Tokens can lose all their value.
Someone can still spread a position across many wallets to reach a harvest. Each wallet has to hold at least 0.01%, so reaching 55 takes at least 0.55% of the supply and reaching 987 at least 9.87%. That makes it harder, not impossible.
Where the angle comes from
Nature is regular, with exceptions. In the largest citizen study of sunflowers, 565 of 768 reliable spiral counts were Fibonacci numbers. Not all of them.
