docs: how $DEBT works
Token fees go to the U.S. national debt every 30 minutes. Here is the full path from a trade on pump.fun to a receipt from the Treasury.
what is $debt
$DEBT is a coin launched on pump.fun, a Solana launchpad. Pump.fun pays the creator of a coin a small fee on every buy and sell. Instead of keeping that fee, the National Debt Fund sends all of it to the U.S. national debt.
Every 30 minutes the accrued creator fees are claimed. The Treasury only accepts dollars, so the claimed SOL is converted to USD and paid through the official pay.gov “Gifts to Reduce the Public Debt” form run by the Bureau of the Fiscal Service. By law those gifts are used only to reduce debt held by the public.
Every completed payment is posted on the receipts tab with its date, amount, pay.gov tracking ID, agency reference, and a link to the receipt itself.

faq
why does the receipts list start empty?
Because only real, completed payments are listed. There are no example or placeholder receipts. The first one appears after the first payout lands.
is the debt counter real?
It is anchored to the most recent official "Debt to the Penny" figure from the U.S. Treasury Fiscal Data API and projected forward in real time using the trailing 12-month average growth rate. The Treasury publishes the official number once per business day.
why every 30 minutes?
A fixed 30-minute cycle keeps fees from sitting in a wallet. They are claimed on schedule and queued for the next Treasury payment.
will this pay off the national debt?
No, and nobody should pretend otherwise. The debt is over forty trillion dollars. This is a transparent, on-the-record way to send real money at it and show every receipt.
is this financial advice or an investment?
No. $DEBT is a meme coin with no intrinsic value, no promise of returns, and no affiliation with the U.S. government or Treasury. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
