$CROW is Crowrise’s native token. The idea is simple: every project launched through Crowrise automatically routes part of the same launch SOL into buying $CROW inside the pump.fun-style bundle, then burns those tokens. More launches → more buy pressure on $CROW → less circulating supply—without asking backers to do anything extra.

The first row is the same story three ways: bought, burned, and implied USD. It fills from an on-chain indexer when you set CROWRISE_CROW_STATS_URL, or from the Crowrise launch ledger (crow-burn-stats) until then. The compact row uses the same live-projects-feed pipeline as LIVE PROJECTS (Shyft + Jupiter; holders via Solana RPC) and refreshes every few seconds.
When the auto-launch countdown ends and funding rules pass, Crowrise runs go-live from the project funding wallet—a coordinated pump.fun-style launch (create + dev buy on the new curve, then the $CROW leg). The deployable SOL is divided between the new project’s curve and $CROW.
Let B be the SOL (lamports) Crowrise deploys at launch after any fee reserve. The whole raise still shows as verified contributions; this step is how that balance is spent on-chain.
Coordinated go-live sequence
Project and $CROW legs run in one tight sequence so backers experience a single go-live—not a separate manual step from the creator.
Buys the launched project’s token on the bonding curve. Backer allocations and the disperser are tied to this leg—about 90% of the SOL you think of as “going to the project” at launch.
Buys $CROW on its pump.fun pool. Those tokens are burned in the same flow, so circulating supply drops every time a Crowrise project launches.
Project tokens move toward the disperser and scheduled claims. The $CROW leg is gone from circulation—bought with real launch volume, not a separate treasury gimmick.
Exact basis can reserve fees first; the intended split of deployable launch SOL is 90% / 10%. Frontend helpers live in js/crow-mechanics-math.js for parity with the edge worker once wired.
Example: if B = 10 SOL, then P ≈ 9 SOL to the project token and C ≈ 1 SOL to buy and burn $CROW (subject to fees and rounding).
Mechanics tie into the same launch path described in How it works — After you publish and the bigger picture on Why Crowrise.
