How tag your cash works

tag your cash turns a cashtag into a coin, and that coin's creator fees into dollars in someone's pocket. A person posts a unique $TICKER on X. That post is the deploy. We mint the memecoin, point its creator fees at the tag your cash treasury, and treat the posting account as who the fees are for.

Everything after the tag is mechanical. Fees accrue as the token trades, we claim them on chain, 80% is converted to dollars and paid through X Money, and 20% buys $TAG and burns it. Every step is recorded against the claim that produced it, and every payout is confirmed in public.

The recipient is not asked to do anything first — there is no account to make and no wallet to connect, so a payout can arrive from a cashtag they posted and then forgot. Control sits where it already did: X Money decides who is allowed to pay an account, and you can also ask us directly. Section 13 covers stopping payments.

1. 1A cashtag is postedSomeone writes $TICKER on X. If that cashtag is new, it is the deploy instruction. See section 2.
2. 2The coin is mintedWe create the memecoin with that ticker and lock creator fees to the treasury. See section 3.
3. 3The poster is the recipientThe X account that first used the cashtag is who the fees belong to. See section 4.
4. 4Fees are claimedWe claim accrued creator fees on a schedule and record each claim against its transaction signature.
5. 5The recipient is paid in dollarsThe recipient share is sent through X Money from a pre-funded float, and a public reply confirms it.

The product is the cashtag. You do not fill a launchpad form, upload an image, or connect a wallet unless you want to. Posting a cashtag that has not been used for a tag your cash coin is enough.

A cashtag is a dollar sign followed by letters or numbers, the same way X already parses $TICKER. We read newly posted cashtags, ignore ones we have already minted, and take the first unique tag as the deploy.

You can write it in a post, a reply, or a bio line. The ticker is what we mint; the rest of the post is yours. If two people tag the same new ticker close together, the earlier post wins. There is no approval step and no queue.

If you would rather not wait for the indexer, the Launch page will post the cashtag from @tagyourcash quoting you, which is the same deploy with a slightly faster confirmation.

A registered cashtag becomes a memecoin on a supported venue, with the ticker taken from the tag and creator fees pointed at us permanently. The split, the payout rail, and the ledger do not change with the venue.

Two rules hold. It has to be the whole fee, because a partial share would mean the payout we publish is a fraction of what the token earned. And it has to be permanent, because a fee direction that can still be changed is a promise that can still be withdrawn.

The X account that gets paid is the account that first posted the cashtag we minted. You do not need a special line in a token description. The tag is the name.

If you launch from the site, we still require the cashtag to originate from the handle you want paid — either because you posted it, or because Launch posts it quoting you.

The recipient does not need to agree, know the coin exists, or hold a wallet. That is the point: a cashtag can be a joke, and the first they hear of it is the money arriving and a public reply saying where it came from.

Every claim divides the same way. There is no discretion in it, no schedule to negotiate, and no tier that changes it.

To the recipient

80%, paid in dollars through X Money

Protocol cut

20%, spent buying $TAG and burning it

Applied

Per claim, at claim time

Fees we add

None. The 20% is the whole of it

The one exception: $TAG itself does not split. All of its own fees are held as protocol treasury.

Creator fees do not arrive continuously. They accrue to the treasury as a token trades and sit there until they are claimed, which we do on a schedule rather than on every trade. Claiming per trade would spend more in transaction fees than it collected on a quiet coin.

Each claim is written to the ledger keyed on its own transaction signature, so a claim cannot be recorded twice and every obligation can be traced back to the on-chain event that created it.

Payout milestones

Payouts land at milestones. A creator's share builds until it crosses $5 — then $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, and every $1,000 after. Each crossing sends the full balance. Balances below a milestone keep building. If the handle has not opened X Money yet, the payment is still sent. See Unclaimed payments.

If a cashtag you posted became a coin, the money is already yours. There is nothing to claim and no form to fill in. It is sent once the balance crosses a payout milestone, whether or not you have opened X Money yet.

1. 1You post a cashtagA unique $TICKER on X deploys the coin in your name.
2. 2Fees accrue and are claimedTrading generates creator fees. We claim them on chain on a schedule.
3. 380% is paid to youSent through X Money from a pre-funded float. No X Money account yet? The payment still arrives as a claimable payment you usually have 14 days to accept, under X Money's policy.
4. 4A public reply confirms it@tagyourcash replies so you and your audience can see where the money came from.

You are not required to do anything, acknowledge anything, or agree to anything. Receiving a payment does not make you a customer of tag your cash or a promoter of the coin that tagged you.

Money you receive may be taxable to you. Nothing about a payout decides how it should be treated, we do not issue tax documents, and nothing on this site is tax advice.

Payments settle into X Money, so the only requirement on your side is an X Money account that is open to receiving. That is configured on X, not here, and tag your cash cannot open one for you or change its settings.

We do not check first and we do not wait. When a balance crosses a milestone the payment is sent, and if the handle has not opened X Money it arrives as a claimable payment with a claim window that is usually 14 days. X Money requires being at least 18 and a U.S. resident, and access is currently rolling out to X Premium subscribers.

Any X account can post a cashtag, whether or not it has X Money, and the payment is sent either way. If the handle already has X Money, it deposits automatically. If it does not, X Money holds the payment as claimable and notifies the recipient.

The claim window is X Money's, not ours. Under X's policy an unclaimed payment expires and the funds return to the sender, usually within 14 days. If it expires, the funds return to our X Money account and pass to the protocol treasury, where they fund the $TAG buyback the same way the protocol cut does.

Who can be named

Any X account that posted the cashtag

Claim window

Usually 14 days, set by X Money's policy

If they claim in time

The money is theirs

If it expires

Returns to us and passes to the protocol treasury

Every payout is announced. @tagyourcash replies to the recipient with the amount and the cashtag it came from, so the recipient and their audience can both see it.

We do this so the recipient can find out at all. Most people were not thinking about a coin when they typed $TICKER, so the payment is usually the first they hear of it, and the reply is what they can check it against.

A token earns its fees on whatever chain it launched on. The payout rail and the $TAG market are not on all of those chains, so the treasury is where they meet. Fees are claimed on the chain that earned them and arrive at the treasury as one balance.

Payouts do not cross that bridge. The recipient share settles in dollars through X Money from a pre-funded float, whichever chain the fee came from.

The protocol cut is spent buying $TAG on the open market and burning it. The protocol buys from the same market as everyone else, at whatever the price is when it buys, and the tokens are sent to a burn address. Both halves are on chain and can be checked by anyone.

$TAG gates nothing. Holding it does not change the split, does not change who can tag a cashtag, and does not change who gets paid.

Who may pay you is a setting on your X Money account. Turning off incoming payments there stops tag your cash paying you, the same as it stops anyone else.

You can also ask us directly. Send a request from your handle, or with reasonable proof you control it, to @tagyourcash on X. We honor removal within 7 days: your handle comes off the site, it goes on a do-not-pay list, and we stop claiming the creator fees of coins that name it.

Registration is automatic, so a tag that has not appeared has failed one of a short list of conditions. In rough order of how often each is the cause:

Already minted

That cashtag already deployed a coin. Tickers are unique.

Not a cashtag

Missing the leading $. $CASH deploys. CASH in plain text does not.

Too recent

The indexer reads X on a schedule. A tag posted moments ago has not been seen yet.

Deleted too fast

The post was gone before we could snapshot it.

Handle opted out

The posting account is on the do-not-pay list. See section 13.

Cashtag

A $TICKER on X. The deploy instruction for a tag your cash coin.

Creator fees

The fees a launchpad pays to a token's creator wallet in respect of trading in that token.

Claim

An on-chain transaction in which we collect accrued creator fees for a registered token.

Recipient share

80% of a claim, payable to the X account that posted the cashtag.

Protocol cut

20% of a claim, spent on $TAG buybacks.

Unclaimed payment

A payment sent through X Money that the recipient has not yet claimed.

Float

The pre-funded X Money balance payouts are sent from.

Treasury

The address a token's creator fees are directed to.
