Every trade waters the roots
A coin launched here is a tree, and the tree itself is the creator on pump.fun. Its creator fee runs down the trunk and splits on chain, every lamport, the same for every coin:

The strong hold up the weak
40% of every fee goes to one shared pool under all the trees: the grove. When a living tree drops hard, the grove feeds it. It buys the coin in small guarded chunks and burns every token it buys.
A tree is fed only when all three are true
One rescue
No loans, nothing comes back. The network buys the coin and burns it.
Watch the forest feed
What the forest will not feed
Dead coins
Under 25 SOL of daily volume or under the holder line, a tree gets nothing. The grove is for coins that are alive.
A ring around every tree
A tree can take back at most what it gave the grove x1.25, one feed per 24 hours, each no more than 10% of the free grove. No feed if the dev wallet sold in the last 24 hours.
The mother tree
10% of every fee in the forest feeds the pad's own token: the grove buys it and burns it. 2% keeps the keeper running.
