The Regulated Standard
regulate.fun is an independent, community-run reputation registry. It is not a government agency, regulator, court or law-enforcement body, and nothing it publishes is legal or financial advice. Its rules have no legal force; their only consequences are a coin's or wallet's standing on regulate.fun and the public record.
The Regulated Standard is the set of obligations a memecoin's developer accepts when they place the coin under the commission's oversight. It exists so that holders can tell a developer who has made public, verifiable commitments from one who has not. Registration is voluntary.
1. Scope and eligibility
1.1 This Standard applies to a registered coin and to its dev wallet: the wallet that deployed the coin and, for pump.fun coins, its current creator wallet.
1.2 Only the dev wallet may apply, by signing in with that wallet.
1.3 A wallet with an unpaid fine on regulate.fun may not apply. A coin whose regulation has been revoked may not apply again.
1.4 The application consists of the coin's disclosure statement (2.1), an attestation that project wallets will be labelled (2.2), and acceptance of this Standard. The version accepted is recorded against the coin.
1.5 Screening. Every application is screened automatically against the public record: the dev wallet's cases, flags and reputation, and the coin's own audit. An application with a clean record is approved immediately. An application with any finding (a past or open case, a dump, snipe, bundle or serial-launch flag, reputation below the starting level, or red flags in the coin's audit) is referred to the commission, which approves, approves with an observation period, or rejects it with reasons. An unpaid fine or a revoked coin is refused.
1.6 The regulation fee is payable only after approval.
2. Obligations of the developer
2.1 Disclosure. Publish a disclosure statement on the coin's record describing the project, its plans and how supply held by the developer or the project is intended to be used. Keep it accurate, and post an update when anything material changes.
2.2 Project wallets. Label every wallet controlled by the developer or the project that holds more than 1% of supply, using the roles provided (treasury, community rewards, team, marketing, liquidity or other).
2.3 No dumping. The dev wallet and labelled project wallets must not dump, as defined in the Commission Policy. Planned distributions of supply should be made through a public distribution pledge so that they can be verified.
2.4 Honesty. Statements, wallet labels and updates must not be false or misleading.
3. Standing
3.1 A registered coin is in one of four states: pending, good standing, suspended or revoked.
3.2 A coin is in good standing when all of the following are true:
- it is registered by its dev wallet and this Standard has been accepted;
- a disclosure statement is published (2.1);
- the project-wallet attestation has been given (2.2);
- any observation period that applies (3.5) is complete; and
- the dev wallet has no conduct violation since registration (5.1).
Until then the coin is pending.
3.3 Only a coin in good standing is shown as "Regulated · good standing" and receives the grade adjustment described in the Commission Policy. A pending coin is shown as "Regulation pending" and its grade is unchanged.
3.4 Standing is reassessed automatically at least hourly, and immediately when a relevant event occurs.
3.5 Observation. A coin launched less than 3 days before registration has too little history to screen, so it is observed for 3 days from registration. A coin older than that has its history screened at application (1.5) and is not observed. The commission may also require a 3-day observation period when it approves an application after review.
4. Monitoring
4.1 The dev wallet is monitored automatically through coin audits and surveillance. Labelled project wallets are reviewed by the commission, including when a complaint is filed.
4.2 Holders of a registered coin who hold more than 2% of supply may make tracked distribution pledges, and holders of more than 3% may lock tokens on-chain. These are recorded on the coin's record.
5. Suspension, reinstatement and revocation
5.1 Automatic suspension. A coin is suspended automatically when, after registration, its dev wallet is detected dumping any coin or is charged in any case.
5.2 Suspension by the commission. The commission may suspend a coin for a breach of Part 2, such as misleading disclosures or unlabelled project wallets, and publishes its reasons.
5.3 Effect. A suspended coin is shown as "Regulation suspended" everywhere on regulate.fun, loses the grade adjustment, and a public notice is posted. Its disclosures stay visible, and the developer may continue to post updates.
5.4 Reinstatement. A suspension caused by a case is lifted automatically if that case is dismissed. Otherwise it may be lifted by the commission after review; settlement of any fine weighs in favour. On reinstatement, violations up to that date are treated as resolved, and the coin returns to pending or good standing under 3.2.
5.5 Revocation. For repeated or serious breaches the commission may revoke a coin's regulation. Revocation is permanent and public.
5.6 Every registration, change of standing, suspension, reinstatement and revocation is recorded in the coin's public regulatory history, with reasons.
6. Regulation fee
6.1 A one-time regulation fee of $49 is payable on application. It covers review of the application and ongoing monitoring of the coin.
6.2 The fee does not purchase a grade, a standing, or the outcome of any investigation. Paying it never changes a coin's grade; only good standing under 3.2 does.
6.3 The fee is not refunded on suspension or revocation.
7. Amendments
7.1 The commission may amend this Standard. Each version is numbered and dated. Coins are assessed under the current version, and material changes are announced on regulate.fun's channels before they take effect where practical.
