Every coin launched on pcombinator is in the current batch from the second it goes live. No application, no pitch, no interview. Hold the floor for the whole week and you're accepted — the pad spends its entire fee pot buying you on the open market and locks it for 90 days. Miss any of it and you're cut.

Seven segments, one per day survived. Lose the floor, the volume or the holders and the row goes red and drops to the pile. Nobody gets a second look.
There is no form to fill in beyond a name. The clock starts the moment the coin is live.
pcombinator keeps the creator fees from every coin launched this week. On Sunday at 00:00 UTC the batch closes, the survivors are counted, and 80% of the pot is spent buying them on the open market. The buys lock for 90 days, same as everyone else's.
Collected from creator fees since the batch opened. It only goes up.
Split evenly between the survivors. Fewer survivors, bigger cheque — which is the point.
| Who is in the batch | Every coin launched on the pad that week. Automatically, from block one. |
| Batch length | 7 days, closing Sunday 00:00 UTC. |
| The bar | Floor $50,000, volume $25,000, holders 150, dev sells nothing. |
| Checks | Hourly. Two consecutive failures on any line is a cut. |
| Appeals | None. There is nobody to email. |
| The cheque | 80% of the pot, split evenly between the accepted coins, bought at market. |
| Lock | 90 days, on-chain, no early exit for the pad. |
| Cut coins | Keep trading. They just never get bought, and they cannot re-enter a later batch. |
$PCOMB never enters a batch and never gets a cheque. It takes the other 20% — the share that does not go into the survivors — and that buys $PCOMB back.
