Claiming fees
How the owner of a username, channel or group receives the fees.
Check what's waiting
Open the Check fees panel, enter the @username and press Check fees. You'll see:
- Unclaimed: SOL in the vault, and roughly how much GRAM that buys at the current Relay rate.
- Coins paying the username, linked to pump.fun.
- The vault address, linked to Solscan.
Prove you own the handle
Ownership is proven inside Telegram, in the TelePump bot. Press Claim in the Check fees panel, or open the bot and send /claim yourhandle.
- Person: message the bot from the account that has the username.
- Channel: add the bot to the channel as an admin (no permissions needed), then message it from an account that is an admin of the channel.
- Group: message the bot from an account that is an admin of the public group. If the bot can't see the admin list, add it to the group too.
The bot checks the admin list with Telegram, then asks for the TON address where you want GRAM. Telegram's built-in Wallet and Tonkeeper both work.
The link between the handle and your TON address is written to Solana as a memo signed by the TelePump operator, so anyone can check where a handle's fees go. Send /claim again to change the address; the newest record wins.
Bot commands:

Payout
Once a TON address is linked, the operator:
- Collects the creator fees from pump.fun into the vault.
- Bridges them Solana → TON through Relay, which delivers GRAM to your address.
Payouts run when a vault holds at least 0.05 SOL, so bridge fees don't eat small balances.
