Complete guide to understanding and using the SHAREball protocol
Table of Contents
1. Introduction
SHAREball is the first truly automated and irreversible fee distribution protocol built on Solana. We enable token developers to automatically distribute transaction fees to their holders through a Telegram bot interface, eliminating the trust issues that have plagued distribution projects for years.
Our protocol operates entirely on-chain with zero human intervention once activated. This means holders receive their rewards automatically, transparently, and with mathematical certainty—no promises, no trust required.
2. The Trust Problem in Crypto
Since the beginning of cryptocurrency, token projects have promised to share revenue and fees with their holders. These promises sounded attractive, but they had one fatal flaw: they required trust in the development team.
The Recurring Pattern
- Developers promise fee distribution to attract investors
- Holders invest based on these promises
- Manual distribution proves difficult, expensive, or inconvenient
- Developers either abandon the project or pocket the fees
- Holders lose trust and investment value crashes
This pattern repeated itself thousands of times across different chains and projects. Even well-intentioned developers struggled with the technical complexity and gas costs of manual distribution. The result? A complete breakdown of trust between projects and their communities.
Before SHAREball, there was no successful example of a distribution protocol that couldn't be manipulated, paused, or abandoned by developers.
3. The SHAREball Solution
SHAREball eliminates the trust problem by removing human control entirely. Our protocol uses a Telegram bot to automate fee distribution in a way that is completely irreversible once activated.
How It Works
- Developer connects their token to SHAREball via @SHAREball_bot
- They configure distribution rules (percentage, frequency, etc.)
- Bot activates the smart contract automation
- Distribution becomes permanently automated
- No one—including developers—can stop or modify the process
This isn't just automation. This is irreversible automation. Once the bot activates distribution for a token, it operates independently forever. The code executes automatically with every transaction, distributing fees to holders according to the predefined rules.
Trust is replaced by code. Promises are replaced by guarantees.
4. Tokenomics & Buy-Burn Mechanism
Every transaction processed through SHAREball protocol automatically allocates 0.1% to buy and burn $SHAREball tokens from the open market.
The buy-and-burn mechanism is fundamental to SHAREball's tokenomics. As more tokens integrate with our protocol, the volume of $SHAREball purchases increases while the supply continually decreases through burning.
Continuous Buy Pressure
Every integrated token's transactions contribute to buying $SHAREball from DEXs. More integrations = more buy pressure = increasing scarcity.
Deflationary Supply
All purchased tokens are immediately sent to a burn address, permanently removing them from circulation. Supply only goes down, never up.
Network Effect
As protocol adoption grows, the burn rate accelerates exponentially. Each new integration adds value to all existing $SHAREball holders.
Transparent & Verifiable
All burns are recorded on-chain and can be verified by anyone. No hidden allocations, no team tokens, no vesting schedules.
The more successful SHAREball becomes at solving the distribution problem, the more valuable the protocol token becomes. It's a virtuous cycle where utility drives value.
5. Core Features
Irreversible Automation
Once activated, the distribution process cannot be stopped, paused, or modified by anyone. Developers, team members, and even SHAREball itself have zero control over the automated distributions. This guarantees that holders will always receive their allocated share of fees.
Complete On-Chain Transparency
Every distribution is recorded on Solana's blockchain and visible to everyone. Holders can verify exactly when they received rewards, how much they received, and track the entire distribution history. No hidden transactions, no off-chain manipulations.
Non-Custodial Protocol
Your tokens never leave your wallet. SHAREball operates as a non-custodial protocol, meaning we never hold, control, or have access to user funds. You maintain complete ownership and control of your assets at all times.
Zero Gas Fees for Holders
Unlike claim-based systems where holders must pay gas fees to receive rewards, SHAREball automatically pushes distributions to holder wallets. This ensures maximum value delivery with no costs deducted from rewards.
Instant Withdrawals
Accumulated distributions are available for withdrawal immediately with no lock-ups, vesting periods, or restrictions. Your rewards are always accessible when you need them.
Simple Telegram Interface
No complex dashboards or technical knowledge required. Everything is managed through an intuitive Telegram bot (@SHAREball_bot). Connect your token, configure rules, and the protocol handles everything else automatically.
Two Integration Options
SHAREball supports both migrating existing tokens and deploying new tokens with built-in distribution:
- Migrate Existing Token: Connect your already-deployed token to SHAREball and activate automated distribution
- Deploy New Token: Launch a brand new token with SHAREball distribution built-in from day one
6. How to Use SHAREball
Connect to @SHAREball_bot
Open Telegram and search for @SHAREball_bot. Start a conversation and follow the prompts to connect your wallet.
Choose Your Path
Select whether you want to migrate an existing token or deploy a new one:
- For existing tokens: Provide your token contract address
- For new tokens: Configure your token parameters (name, symbol, supply, etc.)
Configure Distribution Rules
Set your distribution parameters: what percentage of fees to distribute, how frequently to distribute, and any other rules. The bot will guide you through each option.
Activate & Go
Review your configuration and activate the protocol. Once activated, distribution becomes fully automated and irreversible. Your holders will start receiving their share automatically with every transaction.
7. Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pause or stop distributions after activation?▼
No. This is by design. Once you activate SHAREball for your token, the distribution process becomes irreversible and cannot be stopped, paused, or modified by anyone—including you, your team, or SHAREball. This is the core feature that makes the protocol trustless.
What happens to the 0.1% fee?▼
The 0.1% protocol fee is automatically used to buy $SHAREball tokens from the open market and immediately burn them. This creates constant buy pressure and reduces total supply, benefiting all $SHAREball holders.
Do holders need to claim rewards manually?▼
No. Distributions are pushed directly to holder wallets automatically. There's no claiming process and no gas fees for holders. Rewards simply appear in their wallets based on their holdings.
Is SHAREball audited?▼
Yes. Our smart contracts have been audited by leading blockchain security firms. All audit reports are publicly available and can be reviewed by anyone. Security is our top priority.
What chains does SHAREball support?▼
Currently, SHAREball operates exclusively on Solana. We chose Solana for its high throughput, low fees, and fast finality—all essential for efficient automated distributions. Multi-chain support may be added in future updates.
How are distribution amounts calculated?▼
Distribution amounts are calculated proportionally based on each holder's token balance at the time of distribution. If you hold 1% of the total supply, you receive 1% of the distributed fees. It's completely fair and transparent.
Can I use SHAREball for tokens already on DEXs?▼
Yes! SHAREball works with existing tokens that are already trading on decentralized exchanges. You don't need to redeploy or migrate your token—just connect it to the protocol through the bot.
