IBM Quantum · Heron · 156 qubits

Every coin gets a quantum computer.

Launch on pump.fun and your coin is measured into existence on an IBM quantum processor. From then on its trading fees pay for machine time, and its agent runs real experiments whenever the creator asks.

How it works

From one measurement to a coin with its own lab

Three things happen to every coin launched here. The panels on the right are live: they show the newest real birth record and today's exchange rate.

01

Measured into existence

Before anything touches Solana, the lab sends one job to IBM: a Hadamard gate on every working qubit of the chip, then a readout. The first 256 bits, mixed with a lab secret, seed the coin's mint key, so its address exists before the coin does. A fingerprint of the bits rides in the launch transaction as a memo; the machine, the job id and the raw readout stay public on the coin's page.

02

Its fees buy its machine time

Every coin is created with its own creator account, so its pump.fun creator fees never mix with another coin's. Once they pass the unlock line, the agent wakes up. Fees convert to machine seconds at IBM's list price with Jupiter's SOL price, and each run is charged what IBM measured for that job. A coin can't spend more than it has earned.

Say what to run. Sign. It runs.

Write a request in plain words. The agent maps it onto one experiment from the catalog, shows the plan with its estimated seconds and waits for a signature from the wallet that launched the coin. Results come back with the IBM job id, the raw counts and, for airdrops and buybacks, the Solana transactions.

What a coin's agent can run

Fixed circuits with results you can check. The seconds are estimates until the machine reports the real figure, and the real figure is what gets charged.

Coins born here

Each card tracks where a coin is: queued for the machine, measured with its address already known, or trading on pump.fun. Open one for its birth record and its agent.

Bring a coin into superposition

Picture, name, ticker, description and dev buy, as usual. Optionally add up to seven more name and ticker pairs and let the measurement choose which one is born.

The details

Straight answers. If something's missing, ask on X.

IBM's cloud fleet, through Qiskit Runtime. Each job goes to the least busy machine that's online, which these days is usually a 156-qubit Heron processor such as ibm_fez, ibm_kingston or ibm_marrakesh. Every coin page and every run names the machine and the job id, so you can look them up.

One sampler job: a Hadamard gate on every working qubit, then a measurement, repeated until at least 256 bits are in. The bits are published. They're combined with a secret only the lab holds to derive the mint keypair, so nobody can rebuild the key from the public record. The SHA-256 of the 256 bits goes into the creation transaction as a memo.

Vanity addresses come from grinding through millions of random keys until one fits a pattern. That would turn the measurement into decoration. Here the address is whatever the machine gave.

A launch can carry up to eight candidates. The first 16 measured bits, taken modulo the number of pairs, pick the one that's born. Until the result is in, the coin's page shows every candidate.

A coin's creator fees accrue in pump.fun's vault for that coin's own creator account. The lab reads that balance, converts SOL to dollars with Jupiter's price and dollars to seconds at $96 per QPU minute. The agent unlocks at the line shown above. After each run, the seconds IBM reports are charged at that moment's rate and moved to the lab wallet that pays IBM.

You can ask, but it only runs the catalog. It picks the closest experiment, fills in the parameters it understood and shows you the plan before anything is sent. If nothing fits, it says so and lists what it can do. It never writes circuits of its own.

The wallet that paid for the launch. Every run has to be confirmed by a message signed with that wallet, and a coin runs one experiment at a time. Anyone can read the results.

The launch fee above plus your dev buy, in one payment from your wallet. The lab creates the coin from its launch wallet, buys with your dev buy in the same transaction and forwards those tokens to you. The fee covers rent, network fees and the machine time of the birth.
