How $KNOTS works
Two mechanisms stack on top of each other: $KNOTS's own transfer tax pays holders directly on every trade, and separately, StonkFun's platform-wide flywheel buys back and burns $KNOTS whenever it ranks in the top 10 tokens by market cap.

Explainer
$KNOTS & $STONK, in plain terms
Why holding $KNOTS pays you, and why both tokens are built to become scarcer over time.
New here?
$KNOTS is a Solana token that pays you just for holding it. Every time someone buys, sells, or transfers $KNOTS, a tax is collected, which is then rewarded to $KNOTS holders in $STONK. No staking, no claiming, $STONK just shows up in the wallet you hold your $KNOTS in.
$STONK is what $KNOTS is paired against, and the native token of StonkFun (the platform $KNOTS launched on). $STONK is built to be deflationary — StonkFun buys back and permanently burns tokens using its own trading revenue, shrinking supply over time.
Deflationary asset
$STONK supply burned
StonkFun's platform-wide buyback flywheel burns $STONK permanently — supply only ever falls.
Database not connected. Set DATABASE_URL in this deployment's environment variables so this site can record its own history — see the README.
Holding $KNOTS rewards you with $STONK automatically, but not on a fixed schedule — the transfer tax pays out continuously as $KNOTS trades, so how often you actually see $STONK land in your wallet depends on trading activity, not a calendar. In practice that means active periods can pay out holders many times an hour. StonkFun has processed 1.61M payouts to $KNOTS holders since launch (54 days ago) — the most recent one Oct 29, 7:46 PM UTC.
Every $STONK burned here is permanently removed from circulation — supply never comes back. Combined with steady buy pressure, that scarcity is the deflationary bet behind holding $STONK (via $KNOTS rewards) rather than just holding $STONK or $KNOTS alone.
Methodology
Methodology & data sources
What every number on knots.fyi means and where it comes from.
What this is
This is an unofficial, independent tracker — it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or maintained by $KNOTS or StonkFun. knots.fyi tracks $KNOTS, a reward-mode token on the StonkFun launchpad, paired against $STONK. Most figures are fetched live on every page load and refreshed automatically in the background; a few (historical charts, cross-DEX liquidity/volume) are cached for a few minutes at a time to stay within third-party rate limits. Nothing here is financial advice.
Data sources
StonkFun
$KNOTS's price, market cap, launch details, burn history, and reward payout totals all come directly from StonkFun (stonkfun.xyz), the platform $KNOTS launched on.
Helius
The holder count shown on the Holders page — a real unique-wallet count computed directly from on-chain token accounts for the mint.
DexScreener
Liquidity, 24h volume, and buy/sell activity, totaled across every pool $KNOTS trades on. Also backs up pool liquidity if Birdeye is unavailable.
Birdeye
Backup for holder count and buy/sell activity if Helius or DexScreener have nothing — and, if neither of those is available either, the Holders page falls back once more to StonkFun's reward-recipient count, labeled "Wallets rewarded (Approximate)" when that happens.
