What Diadem is
Diadem is a token launchpad where trading helps fund meaningful action. A token’s creator posts challenges: things to do, with a reward for each completion.
Every trade pays a creator fee. Those fees collect in the treasury and pay the people who complete the token’s challenges.
Three parts, one loop
As long as the token trades, fees keep coming in, and the creator can keep posting challenges.
Launching a token
Give the token a name, ticker, image and description, and sign with your wallet. The treasury pays for the launch.
- Queue: launches go one at a time, in a public line.
- Launch buy: one wallet buys about 4% of supply and sells as soon as its buy is final. The treasury buys 0.05 SOL and keeps it.
- Until someone buys: a fresh wallet buys 0.01 SOL every 10 seconds, for up to 10 minutes. They sell once someone else buys or time runs out.
- Fees: the token’s creator fee goes to the treasury: 90% for its challenges, 10% to buy back and burn $SEEDS.
- Limit: one launch per wallet a day.
Launch statuses
| Status | What it means |
|---|---|
| Scheduled | The launch time is set. |
| Launching | The launch is being sent. |
| Live | The token is trading and its fees are collecting. |
| In review | The launch did not land and is being checked. |
Posting a challenge
The wallet that launched a token posts its challenges, paid from its fees. Anyone can post an open challenge; any token’s creator can fund it with a share of that token’s future fees.
Every challenge has
- A title: one sentence a stranger can understand.
- What counts as done: the proof to submit, such as photos, a post or a merged pull request.
- Reward range: the least and most one completion can earn, for example 0.10–0.50 SOL.
- Winners: how many completions it pays for.
Posting sets aside the most the challenge can pay, its top reward times its winners, from the token’s free fees. Closing it releases what was not paid.
Example challenges
| Type | Example | What counts as proof |
|---|---|---|
| Local action | Clean up a park, beach or street | Before and after photos, location and date |
| Open source | Fix an issue in a public repository | Link to the merged pull request |
| Education | Write a beginner guide or record a lesson | Link to the published resource |
| Ecosystem | Plant native trees or restore a habitat | Photos, location and a short description |
Fees and the treasury
Every token’s creator fee goes to one Diadem treasury wallet. Each token’s share is counted from its own trades, and only pays that token’s challenges.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Fee to the treasury | The creator fee on every trade |
| $SEEDS share | 10% of each token’s fees buys back and burns $SEEDS; the token keeps 90% for its challenges |
| Treasury wallet | Shown on each token page |
| Who pays | The treasury, as soon as the creator approves |
| Left over when a challenge closes | A token’s challenge: stays with the token. An open challenge: stays with the treasury. |
Completing a challenge
- Open a token page and read its challenges.
- Do the task.
- Submit a link to your proof and a short note on what you did.
- Use the slider to choose what you think your work deserves within the range. This is your ask.
- Sign with your wallet. That wallet is the one paid.
- The creator sets the final payout within the range. The token page shows it next to your ask, with a link to the transaction.
One submission per wallet per challenge. If it is rejected, you can submit again.
Reviewing and paying
Connect the wallet that launched the token, or that posted the open challenge, to review its submissions.
| Action | What happens |
|---|---|
| Approve & pay | Set the amount within the range; it starts at the ask. The treasury sends it within a minute, and the task shows both numbers and its transaction. |
| Reject | The task moves to Rejected with its ask still visible. Nothing is paid. |
Toward regenerative token economies
Most launchpads focus on making it easier to create and trade tokens. Diadem asks a different question: what happens when the value generated by trading is redirected toward people creating value?
For years, SEEDS has explored what an economic system would look like if it rewarded regeneration rather than extraction. Diadem brings that philosophy to token launches: decentralised markets funding collaboration, useful contributions and regenerative action.
Common questions
Does every token need a challenge?
No. Its fees collect until its creator posts one.
Who decides whether a task is complete?
The token’s creator approves or rejects each submission, publicly.
Why can a payout differ from the ask?
The ask is the participant’s view of what their work deserves. The creator decides the final amount within the range. Both stay public.
Can a challenge be changed after it starts?
No. The creator can close it and post a new one.
Can any token fund an open challenge?
Yes. Its creator pledges a share of its future fees and can stop any time.
What chain is Diadem on?
Solana. Rewards are paid in SOL.
