A hook is a published fee policy attached to your coin at mint. This page is explicit about which parts a contract enforces and which parts you execute.
A pump.fun launch earns the creator a share of trading fees for as long as people trade the coin. Normally that stream lands in one wallet and no buyer ever finds out what happens to it.
When you launch through Routed you pick one of the ten hooks — or write your own — and the routing rule is serialised into the token's metadata before the mint transaction is signed. It travels with the coin, so anyone reading the metadata sees the policy.
Routed85% buy & burn, 10% liquidity, 5% creator, hourly.We would rather say that plainly than imply a guarantee that does not exist. Contract-level enforcement is the direction, not the current state.
From Positions, Run this hook does four things: claims your accumulated creator fees, measures what actually arrived, converts the split into concrete amounts, and executes each leg.
Shares below roughly 0.002 SOL are skipped — a transfer that small costs more in fees than it delivers.
The custom box takes plain language and compiles it into a normalised split. It reads shares (half, a quarter, 40%, the rest), destinations (burn, holders, liquidity, jackpot, buyback, treasury, referrers, airdrop, creator, marketing) and cadence (hourly, daily, every 6 hours, each trade).
Anything unclaimed falls back to liquidity and the result is always normalised to exactly 100%, so a launch can never carry a broken split. It runs in your browser and is deterministic — no model call, so it cannot stall or invent a destination you did not name. It does not understand conditions: “burn if we hit 100k” compiles to a plain burn.
Routed takes no cut at mint. You pay Solana network fees and whatever optional dev buy you set. The creator share your hook defines is yours to route.
