Stadium FAQ

Last Updated: October 14, 2026

What is Stadium?

A launchpad on pump.fun where coins fight 1v1. Every day two coins play for 24 hours, and the loser's creator fees buy the winner.

How much does a launch cost?

0.1 SOL, paid once from your wallet. Stadium pays pump.fun's create cost out of it. There is no other charge.

Is my coin in the 1v1?

Yes, unless you switched it off when you launched. The launcher can switch it on or off at any time on the coin's page. A coin that is playing a match keeps playing it; the change counts from the next draw.

When are matches drawn?

Once a day at 18:00 UTC. Stadium pairs the two coins in the pool with the closest market caps, at most 2 times apart, that did not meet in the last 7 days. A coin needs to be live for 1 hour and to have traded in the last 24 hours.

Why was there no match today?

Because no two coins qualified: too few coins in the pool, market caps too far apart, or only pairs that met recently. The Matches and Live pages say which.

How is the winner decided?

By price change. Both prices are read from the chain at kickoff and again at the final whistle, each time for both coins in one pass. The coin whose price rose more, or fell less, wins. Market cap does not matter once the match starts, so a small coin can beat a bigger one.

What does the winner get?

A buy. After the whistle Stadium adds up the loser's creator fees from the match and its launch wallet buys the winner with them, up to 5 SOL. Buys under 0.001 SOL are not made. Every buy is shown with its transaction.

What happens to the tokens Stadium buys?

They stay in the launch wallet. Stadium does not sell them.

And on a draw?

Nothing is bought. Neither coin's fees move.

Who gets the creator fees otherwise?

Stadium. Every coin launched here has Stadium's launch wallet as its creator on pump.fun, so creator fees go there. A match loser's fees from its match window are the exception: they buy the winner.

What if I paid and no coin was made?

The launch fee is owed back to you. It is listed on Payouts with the amount and the reason, paid from Stadium's wallet by hand, and then marked paid with its transaction.

Can I trade on Stadium?

Coins trade on pump.fun. Every coin and match page links to it.

Is this financial advice?

No. Coins are risky and can go to zero. A match result says nothing about a coin's future.
