How Droves works
Backers, then the launch auction, then the open market.
01
Backers
Backers come in first, before the public auction, at a lower price, and their tokens lock. On RETARDI, each commitment was a SOL payment to a Droves wallet, checked on-chain before it counted.
02
Launch auction
A public auction (3 days on RETARDI). It opens at a set FDV, the price drifts down over time and every buy pushes it up. Everyone sees the same price at the same moment.
03
Open market
Trading moves to a Meteora pool. Meteora takes 20% of the 1%. Callers and Backers each get 12% of the 1%.
Why Droves is different
The market before the market
Backers commit early, Callers bring buyers, then a public launch auction, then an open market on Meteora.
A fair start
No side deals. Backers get in earlier, at a lower price, in exchange for locking up. Everyone else buys in the same public auction. No KOL discounts. No pool for bots to snipe during the auction: every buy is a SOL payment checked by Droves.
Everyone who builds the market earns from it
Every trade pays a 1% fee, split Creator 45% / Callers 15% / Backers 15% / Droves 25%. On the open market, Meteora first takes 20% of the 1%.
A memory
Droves records who backed, who called and what happened next. Reputation carries across launches.
Fees: who earns whatEvery trade pays a 1% fee.
Launch auction
During the launch auction, Meteora takes 0%. The full 1% splits Creator 45% / Callers 15% / Backers 15% / Droves 25%.
- Creator45% of the 1%
- Callers15% of the 1%
- Backers15% of the 1%
- Droves25% of the 1%
Open market
Once the open-market Meteora pool is live, Meteora takes 20% of the 1%, and the remaining 80% splits the same 45 / 15 / 15 / 25. Callers and Backers each get 12% of the 1%. Creator gets 36% of the 1%, and Droves gets 20% of the 1%.

- Backers12% of the 1%
- Droves20% of the 1%
Creator
45% of the 1% in the auction
36% of the 1% on the open market
Paid to the creator address set for the round.
Callers
15% of the 1% in the auction
12% of the 1% on the open market
Split by the founder's score, from 1 to 10. Diluted as more calls are approved.
Backers
15% of the 1% in the auction
12% of the 1% on the open market
Split between Backers by the tokens they hold from entry. Withdrawing early ends it.
Droves
25% of the 1% in the auction
20% of the 1% on the open market
The protocol's share of the trading fee.
Callers
Post about the launch, then submit the call in the app. The founder reviews each call and scores it 1–10. A caller's cut of the Callers pool depends on their score, and it gets diluted as more calls are approved. Max 3 calls per wallet.
That pool is 15% of the 1% during the auction and 12% of the 1% once Meteora is live.
Make a call on RETARDIBackers
The Backers pool is 15% of the 1% during the auction and 12% of the 1% on the open market.
On RETARDI, Backer tokens stayed locked after the auction. Backers who stay locked until 26 Oct keep their share of the Backers pool. Withdrawing early (possible from 12 Oct) ends it.
Rewards come only from trading fees, vary, and can be zero.

Questions
How do I buy DROVE?
Tap Buy DROVE. The Droves app opens with SOL → DROVE filled in. Sign in with email, add SOL, enter an amount and confirm. You can also buy on Jupiter, or open it in Phantom or Solflare.
Which wallet should I use?
The Droves app is the simplest: sign in with email and you have a wallet. Any Solana wallet that works with Jupiter, such as Phantom or Solflare, works too.
How much DROVE do I need?
From the next launch: 1 DROVE to join a launch or call one, 5 DROVE to back one.
Does holding DROVE earn fees?
No. Fee share comes from being a Backer or Caller in a launch. Rewards come only from trading fees, vary, and can be zero.
Can I sell DROVE?
Yes. DROVE trades in a Meteora pool, and you can sell it on Jupiter at any time. Liquidity is thin, so large trades move the price.
What's the official address?
The DROVE mint is below. It's the only official DROVE address. Check it before you buy.
