What's the weather worth?
Launch a pump.fun coin bound to a city and a weather metric. Its creator fees collect in a pot that stays shut until the weather crosses the strike you set, and a slice of it then buys the coin back and burns it.
Where the fees go
Weather never mints supply, never dilutes a holder and never touches liquidity. It decides one number: how much of the pot opens today. No address can withdraw a pot, including the one that launched it.
Trades pay in
Every coin launches on pump.fun with WeathersPad's program as its creator, so pump.fun's creator fee on every trade lands with the program. Eighty percent of it is the pot, fifteen goes to whoever launched the coin, five to the protocol. The pot sits on chain where anyone can read it.
A reading a day
A keeper posts one reading per market per day with a hash of the data it came from. Anyone can check it against the same public forecast.
The strike opens it
Cross the strike and the pot opens in proportion to how far past you went. Anyone can spend what opened: it buys the coin on its pump.fun curve, or its PumpSwap pool once it graduates, and burns every coin it buys.
release = clamp((reading − strike) / span, 0, 1)
payout = pot × release
A strike that fires every day drains the pot as fast as fees arrive, so it never grows into anything worth watching. A strike that almost never fires builds for months. Nobody has to approve your choice, because the arithmetic already prices it.
Cities, reading live
Drag the globe and click a pin. Coins already launched come first, with their pots read from the chain; the rest are cities nobody has claimed yet. The conditions shown are live from Open-Meteo.
Set a strike you can defend
Enter one and the pad replays it against the last 365 days of recorded weather at those exact coordinates, then tells you how often it would have paid out.
The reading the pot waits for.
How far past the strike empties it completely.
Things people ask first
Is this a prediction market?
No. There is no settlement date, no counterparty and nothing to be right about. The coin keeps trading and the pot keeps refilling whether or not the strike ever fires.
What stops the keeper lying?
Bounds, not trust. The reporter key can open a pot early. It cannot move a lamport, mint supply, touch liquidity, change a strike or take a pot. Each reading is posted with the hash of the Open-Meteo response it came from, and that source is public.
Who gets the released value?
Holders, through supply. A release buys the coin on its own market and burns what it buys, so there is no claim list, no snapshot and nothing to go and collect. Each buy is capped at 1 SOL so a big pot is spent in bites a sandwich cannot profit from.
