The deal when you use Trench

Effective November 9, 2026. Last updated November 9, 2026. These terms cover trenchlyfe.fun, launch.trenchlyfe.fun, the Trench iOS app, the Trench Telegram Mini App, the Trench bots on Telegram and X, and the Trench Score browser extension (together, “Trench”). “We” and “us” mean the company that operates Trench and its owners, members, employees and contractors.

The short version: Trench is software that helps you launch and trade Solana tokens from a wallet you control. We never hold your keys or your funds, we cannot reverse a transaction, nothing here is financial advice, and memecoins can go to zero. If you do not agree with these terms, do not use Trench.

1. Who can use Trench

You must be at least 18 and legally able to use crypto services where you live. You may not use Trench if you are in, or a resident of, a country or on a list subject to sanctions that would make it unlawful for us to serve you, and you may not use Trench to evade such rules. Trench is not available from Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, Russia, Belarus, or the Crimea, Donetsk or Luhansk regions of Ukraine. Perps are offered only on the trenchlyfe.fun website and are not available to US persons, to anyone in the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia or the European Economic Area (the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), or in any region Hyperliquid restricts; by using perps you confirm none of those applies to you, and we may block perps for any connection we cannot place. You may not use a VPN, proxy, hosted server, or a false location or time-zone setting to get around these limits. To enforce them we check the country and network type of each connection, your device’s time zone and, in the iOS app, the country of your App Store account. If any of these places a Trench account in the United States or another country or region where perps are not offered, perps stay off for that account on every connection, and for any other account that links the same wallets.

2. Non-custodial

Your Trench wallet is created on your device through our identity provider and only you control it. Wallets you connect (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack, Ledger or others) stay under your control. We never have access to your private keys and cannot move, freeze or recover your funds. If you lose access to your account or wallet, we cannot restore your assets.

3. What Trench does

LaunchpadCoins launched on Trench use an on-chain configuration that locks liquidity permanently and vests the creator's supply. Those rules are enforced by the blockchain program, not by us; we cannot change them for anyone.
TradingTrades of Trench coins run on Meteora's pool programs under the coin's Trench configuration. Trades of other Solana coins are routed through third-party aggregators. We show quotes, you sign, the network executes. Prices can move between quote and execution.
One-click, orders and event exitsIf you turn on one-click trading or place limit, take-profit or stop-loss orders on a Trench coin's bonding curve, you authorise a limited signing key to submit the trades you configure. If you turn on event exits or sell orders on other coins, you authorise a separate limited signing key, held on Trench's servers, that works only inside your own Trench wallet and, for event exits and sell orders, can only sell. Trench submits these trades when the triggers you chose are met, as Trench reads them from market and on-chain data. You can revoke either key at any time in the app. Orders and exits may fail, fire late, not fire, or fill at a different price in fast markets. Trench does not offer copy trading.
RewardsHolder rewards, bagworker pay, Meteora's referral share and MEV rebates are paid as described in the guide and the thesis, and holder rewards under the holder rewards terms below. Amounts depend on volume and can be zero. Payouts are made on chain to the wallet you designate.
PerpsPerpetual futures on the website are executed by Hyperliquid, a separate exchange, under Hyperliquid's terms. Your perps account is an EVM wallet created for your sign-in that only you control; deposits and withdrawals between Solana and Hyperliquid run through the Relay bridge. A trade-only key held in your browser signs your orders and cannot withdraw. Each signed order passes through Trench’s servers, which check eligibility and the fee before forwarding it to Hyperliquid unchanged; we may decline to forward any order. Leverage can lose your whole margin through liquidation, and funding is charged hourly. Trench is an interface only: we do not hold your funds, take the other side of your trades, or control Hyperliquid, its prices, liquidations or uptime. If perps become unavailable for your account or connection after you have opened a perps account, the account is close-only: you can close positions, cancel orders, add margin and withdraw, but cannot open positions or deposit, and Trench charges no fee on those closes. Withdrawals go directly to Hyperliquid and the bridge, so a restriction never holds your perps funds. Perps are not offered in the Trench iOS app or the Telegram Mini App.
Trench ScoreTrench Score, dev records and their labels (New, Clean, Serial and Rugger), and the replies of the Trench Score bot on X are automated, informational signals built from public on-chain and market data. They can be wrong. They are not a guarantee, an audit or a recommendation, and a high score or a Clean label does not mean a coin is safe or will go up.

Holder rewards, the Diamond Hands Pool and Dev pledges. Holder rewards are a rebate of part of the trading fees a Trench coin pays, shared among its holders under the published holder rewards rules, rules version 2, at trenchlyfe.fun/rules/holder-rewards. They are not interest, a dividend, a return on an investment or a prize, and amounts depend on trading volume and can be zero. Each day’s pay vests 72 hours after it settles. If you sell or transfer a coin’s tokens before your pay vests, you forfeit the share of your unvested pay that the rules set; forfeited holder pay goes to that coin’s next daily holder pool and forfeited Diamond Hands Pool pay stays in that coin’s Diamond Hands Pool, and you have no claim to it. Wallets the rules leave out, including the coin’s creator and wallets linked to the creator, snipers, bundlers, exchange wallets and Trench’s own wallets, receive no holder pay or Diamond Hands Pool payouts. Each Trench coin’s Diamond Hands Pool (formerly called the Diamond Pot) is held at a public Solana address that Trench controls. It pays only as the rules set out, at a market-cap milestone or after 90 days, in parts that vest over 7 days, and holders have no claim beyond what the rules pay from what the Diamond Hands Pool holds. It is not a prize and not a promise of profit. The milestones are levels the rules check, not targets, predictions or promises about price. Which wallets count is decided by applying the published rules to on-chain data. A creator who adds a Dev pledge hands the coin’s creator role to the Trench bond wallet, and the pledge takes effect only once that handoff is signed. The creator authorises Trench, on each collection of creator fees, to send the pledged share to the coin’s Diamond Hands Pool or its daily holder pool, any share held for the original poster under coins launched from someone else’s post, and the rest to the creator’s launch wallet. If the coin also has a Dev bond, the pledged share comes off each collection before the bond’s split, and the creator role stays with the bond wallet after the bond ends for as long as the pledge runs. When a pledge ends after its lock, Trench returns the creator role to the creator’s launch wallet. A pledge is public, with every change shown with its date, is locked for 30 days from when it is first set, can be raised at any time and can be lowered or ended only after that; once collected, pledged amounts are no longer the creator’s. Trench changes these rules only by publishing a new rules version, dated in the changelog.

4. Fees

Trench coins carry a 1% trading fee after the anti-snipe window, plus Meteora's volatility fee in fast markets, shared with the creator, holders, bagworkers, Trench and the coin's Diamond Hands Pool. Bagworker pay, including lifetime pay for traders a bagworker brought in, comes out of these fees and never adds to what you pay. Meteora, which runs the pools, pays four percent of each trading fee to the account in the trade's referral slot: the bagworker whose link brought the trade, and otherwise you. Other Solana coins trade for 0.5% to Trench plus network fees. Those trades route through Jupiter, or straight to the coin's Meteora pool when that leaves you with at least as much; on a direct trade Trench's 0.5% is a separate transfer in the same transaction and Meteora's referral share goes to you. When Jupiter's own Ultra router carries a trade, Jupiter adds its fee, which the trade screen shows. The fast lane, a tip that helps a trade land faster, is optional and off by default, and you set the tip. Graduation carries a 2% fee, split between the creator and Trench. Perps carry a Trench fee of 0.05% of position size on each order that fills, which you approve once on Hyperliquid and which is charged on top of Hyperliquid's own trading fee and funding; bridge fees are shown before you deposit or withdraw. If we find that an account used perps from a restricted location, we may hold back or refund the Trench perps fees earned on that account’s orders. Third parties (the Solana network, Meteora, Jupiter, Helius, payment providers such as MoonPay) charge their own fees, shown before you confirm. Your Bags page lists what each of your trades cost and what came back to you. We may change our fees for future launches and trades; changes are posted in the changelog and never apply to coins already launched.

5. Your responsibilities

Keep your sign-in, devices and wallets secure. Anything done from your account is on you.
Do your own research. You decide what to buy, sell or launch.
Do not launch or promote coins that infringe someone else's rights, impersonate a person or brand, or are designed to defraud. Do not use bots or exploits against other users, manipulate markets, launder money, or break the law where you are.
Pay your own taxes. We do not report or withhold on your behalf.

6. Launching a coin

When you launch, you are the issuer of that token and responsible for it, its name, image and claims. Creator fees and vested supply are released by the program on its schedule. We may hide a coin from Trench feeds, search and chat if it breaks these terms or the law; the token itself continues to exist on chain and we cannot remove it.

Dev record. Trench keeps a public dev record for every coin creator, built from on-chain data across launchpads, with wallets linked by funding and by a shared Trench sign-in, and labels it New, Clean, Serial or Rugger under the rules published in the guide. The label sets parts of your launch deal on Trench: a Clean record keeps the early-dev share after the first four launches, a Rugger record gets the standard share from the first launch and cannot add a Dev bond, and a Serial or Rugger record can launch on Trench once every 24 hours. Labels are applied automatically and can change as new data arrives. If you think yours is wrong, contact us or send the wallet through Feedback and we will review it.

Dev bond. If you choose to add a Dev bond to a launch, your launch transaction transfers the coin's creator role to the Trench bond wallet for 30 days. During that time Trench collects the coin's creator fees, sends you 50% of each collection and holds 50% as a bond. Bonds started before November 9, 2026 keep the 75% / 25% split they were set with. If your linked wallets break the published bond rule (in the guide and on the coin page) during the 30 days, the held bond, any of your creator fees Trench still holds, and the creator fees Trench collects until day 30 are credited to the coin's holders, and you have no claim to them. Otherwise Trench returns the bond and the creator role to your launch wallet after day 30. Whether the rule was broken is decided by applying the published rule to on-chain data. If the coin graduates during the bond, your vested allocation unlocks to the bond wallet and Trench passes it to your launch wallet as it unlocks, whether or not the bond rule was broken; the vested allocation is not part of the bond. After day 30 Trench makes your launch wallet the recipient of the vesting escrow where the escrow allows it. A Dev bond is not insurance, a guarantee or an investment product, and holders have no claim beyond what a forfeited bond holds. Trench may decline to bond any launch, including when the creator's dev record is Rugger.

Coins launched from someone else's post. If you launch a coin from another person's post or message with the Trench bot on Telegram or X, 20% of that coin's creator fees is held for the person who posted it. Trench's creator-fee claim for that coin sends that share to a held account on every claim; the setting is locked and cannot be removed on Trench. The person who posted can claim it by signing in to Trench with the same X or Telegram account; after their first claim, their share goes straight to their wallet. If they do not claim within 90 days of the launch, what is held, and that share of later claims, goes to the coin's holders in proportion to their holdings, through the rewards ledger. If you claim creator fees outside Trench, the coin page shows the part of the poster's share that was not set aside. We do not launch coins about deaths or tragedies, children, crime victims, coins with slurs, or coins named as a real person, a brand or the account that posted, and we may refuse any launch from a post.

Graveyard revivals (retired). Trench retired graveyard revival on November 8, 2026. You can no longer start, launch or claim from a revival on Trench. Revival #2 ($AMC) was cancelled before its coin graduated: no claims will open, and its reserved tokens stay locked in the coin's bonding curve. Being in a past revival snapshot is not a promise of tokens or value.

7. Third-party services

Trench relies on the Solana network, Meteora, Jupiter, Helius, Privy, Hyperliquid, Relay, Telegram, X, Cloudflare, Apple and payment providers. Their availability, terms and fees are theirs. Buying SOL with a card is provided by MoonPay under MoonPay's terms and verification requirements; we do not process card payments.

8. No advice, no guarantees

Trench is provided as is, without warranties of any kind. Nothing on Trench, in Trench Score or a dev record, in the guide, in the Telegram channel, in the browser extension or from @TheTrenchLyfe or @ATrenchLyfeBot is financial, investment, legal or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any coin. Memecoins are highly speculative and can lose all of their value. We do not guarantee uptime, execution, price, rewards or the behaviour of any coin or its creator.

9. Limits of liability

To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for trading losses, lost profits, lost tokens, failed or delayed transactions, third-party failures, blockchain forks or outages, or indirect or consequential damages. Where liability cannot be excluded, it is capped at the fees you paid to Trench in the 12 months before the claim.

10. Suspension and changes

We may suspend accounts, hide content or restrict features that break these terms, and we may change or discontinue parts of Trench. Because Trench is non-custodial, suspension never affects your wallet or your tokens. We may update these terms; the effective date above changes when we do, and big changes are announced on X and in the changelog. Perps location limits under section 1 are applied automatically; if you think one was applied to your account by mistake, contact us and we will review it.

11. Disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, United States. Disputes go to the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and each side waives a jury trial where permitted. If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.

12. Contact
