Creator made $303K in 9 months from token fees vs $5K from X payouts
tetsuoai · x · 2026-11-12
AI creator tetsuoai shares 9 months of numbers after launching the AgenC token on Pumpfun: transaction fees brought in $303,693 in SOL ($33,700/month), plus a $250K investment from winning Pumpfun's Build in Public hackathon — versus just $5,000 in X payouts. The fees fund AgenC (an AI agent marketplace on Solana), video production API costs across Grok, Claude, Seedance and MiniMax, and buybacks. His playbook: build in public to grow an audience, tokenize the work, then approach VCs once a product works.
