Thirty nominees.
One golden ball.
The pot goes to the winner's holders.
$BALLON is the main coin. Each of the 30 nominees has his own coin, paired against $BALLON. Every creator fee $BALLON earns is collected into one public prize wallet. The moment the winner is announced on stage, the whole pot is distributed, pro rata, to the holders of that player's coin.
100% of $BALLON's creator fees. Snapshot of the winner's holders at ceremony start, payout in SOL right after the name is read. Nothing is kept by the team from this pot.
Who lifts the golden ball?
The thirty official nominees. Every one of them gets his own coin at launch; the ranking goes live with the first trade.
Balances of the winner's coin at that moment. Buying after the envelope is opened does not count.
Each eligible holder receives pot × (their balance ÷ eligible supply). Transactions are listed here when sent.
The bonding curve, the PumpSwap pool, the platform wallet and the dev wallet never receive a share.
Shares smaller than the rent of a transfer stay in the wallet and seed the next edition.
Three steps, one pot.
The main coin, paired to SOL on pump.fun. Every trade pays a creator fee, and the creator of $BALLON is the prize wallet itself. Nobody else can touch it.
Each of the 30 nominees has a coin paired to $BALLON. Buying a player means buying $BALLON first, so every bet feeds the pot. Trade in and out as the odds move.
Monday 26 October, 20:00 GMT, London Palladium. We snapshot the winner's holders at ceremony start and the whole pot is paid out in SOL, pro rata, minutes after the name is read.
Written down before the envelope.
The winner is the player announced on stage as the men's Ballon d'Or 2026. The admin wallet records it on this site within minutes; the snapshot and the payout are run by the open keeper scripts and every transaction is linked here.
Snapshot = token balances of the winner's coin at ceremony start (block closest to 20:00 GMT). Holdings inside the bonding curve, the PumpSwap pool, the platform wallet and the dev wallet are excluded.
The pot is every creator fee $BALLON has earned until the payout transaction, held in the public prize wallet. The creator fees of the 30 nominee coins (2%, paid in $BALLON) are the platform's revenue and are not part of the pot.
Nominee coins are quoted in $BALLON: selling a player gives you $BALLON, not SOL. pump.fun routes SOL → $BALLON → player in one swap when you buy from SOL.
If the ceremony is postponed, the snapshot moves with it and the pot keeps growing. If a nominee's coin has zero eligible holders, the pot rolls into the next edition.
