Token Utility Protocol

Trust Infrastructure for Solana's Token Economy

Making reputation verifiable, insurance enforceable, and rug pulls detectable

Executive Summary

The Problem: Solana has become the largest token launch ecosystem in crypto, with 11M+ tokens created on Pump.fun alone and 50,000-100,000 new launches daily. However, an estimated 98.6% are scams or rug pulls, creating a trust crisis that suppresses legitimate participation and innovation.

The Solution: Token Utility Protocol (TUP) is the trust infrastructure layer for Solana's token economy. We make reputation verifiable, insurance enforceable, and rug pulls detectable — transforming blind speculation into informed participation.

The Opportunity: The trust gap is the market. Every trader who avoids Solana memecoins because "everything is a scam" represents unrealized demand. TUP captures the infrastructure layer beneath the entire ecosystem by solving the fundamental trust deficit.

What TUP Does

TUP operates across three integrated layers:

1. Data Layer

Real-time indexing engine that processes every transaction from Solana's token programs, building a foundation for reputation scoring and trust signals.

Real-Time Indexer — Captures all token activity from Pump.fun, PumpAMM, and other programs
Wallet Graph Engine — Maps relationships and fund flows between wallets for cluster detection
Transaction Processing — < 2 second latency from on-chain confirmation to indexed data

2. Trust Layer

Real-time infrastructure that scores wallet reputation based on behavior (not claims), detects rug pulls automatically, and provides on-chain insurance through TrustVault smart contracts.

Reputation Engine — Every wallet gets a behavioral score (0-100) based on trading history, tokens created, and community impact
Rug Detection — Automated monitoring flags suspicious creator sell activity in real-time
TrustVault — On-chain insurance where creators lock SOL as collateral to back their tokens

3. Social Layer

A crypto-native community platform where token holders discover, connect, and engage around verified on-chain data — replacing fragmented Discord/Telegram groups with unified, trust-embedded spaces.

Auto-created community spaces for every token
Wallet-based authentication with reputation badges
Holdings-gated access (hold the token = join the space)
Real-time chat, creator updates, and community events

Why Now

Volume reached critical mass

Millions of tokens launched = data foundation already exists

Buyer frustration at peak

Meme coin supercycle burned millions demanding better solutions

No incumbent owns this layer

Existing tools are point-in-time checks, not persistent infrastructure

Investment Thesis

For Strategic Advisors & Partners

✓ Infrastructure play — TUP becomes the trust layer for Solana's token economy
✓ Data moat — Historical reputation data is non-replicable by new entrants
✓ Network effects — Trust data becomes more valuable as ecosystem grows
✓ Integration lock-in — Once embedded in wallets/DEXs/bots, switching costs are high
✓ Diversified revenue — Eight channels reduce dependency on any single source
