100% of pump.fun's charity-feature donations are routed to the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit that keeps Wikipedia free.

Wikipedia raised the world. The least we can do is help raise the bandwidth bill.

// the mission

why we're doing this.

Wikipedia is one of the last public goods on the internet. It runs on donations because the people behind it refuse to put ads, paywalls, or content rights on human knowledge.

$Wikipetan is a memecoin that takes the most common thing in crypto, the speculation around a launch, and bends a portion of it back toward the thing that taught most of us what a "memecoin" even is in the first place.

How: pump.fun has a built-in charity feature. When you trade $Wikipetan, a portion of the fee is routed automatically, on-chain, to a designated charity destination. We have configured ours to flow to the Wikimedia Foundation. We do not touch the money. We cannot reverse it.

What 100% means here: 100% of the charity-feature share that pump.fun routes from $Wikipetan trading goes to Wikimedia. Not "100% of fees" (pump.fun keeps its protocol fees, as it should) and not "100% of the supply." Just every dollar that flows through the charity rail goes where we said it goes.

What we will not do: claim affiliation with Wikipedia or the Wikimedia Foundation. We are not them. We are an independent community paying Wikipedia back, the only way crypto knows how.

// about her

who's Wikipe-tan?

Wikipe-tan (ウィキペたん) is the community-made anime mascot of Wikipedia. She wears a maid-librarian outfit because Wikipedia is, in spirit, a librarian. Her hair clips are puzzle pieces with the kanji ("origin"), a reference to Wikipedia's puzzle-globe logo.

She was created in 2006 by Japanese editor Kasuga and released under free licenses (GFDL and CC-BY-SA 4.0), making her one of the few mascots on the internet that you are legally and morally free to make a coin about.

She is a fan favorite. She has appeared in the English Wikipedia signpost, on Wikimedia merch, in academic papers about online community identity. We figured if anyone deserved a memecoin, it was her.

// faq

questions.

Is this affiliated with Wikipedia or Wikimedia Foundation?+

No. $Wikipetan is an independent community project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the Wikimedia Foundation, Wikipedia, or any of their projects. We just want to support them.

The Wikipe-tan mascot art is the work of community editor Kasuga, released under GFDL and CC-BY-SA 4.0. We use it under that license and credit her in the footer.

Why a memecoin? Why not just donate directly?+

You absolutely should also donate directly at donate.wikimedia.org. That is unambiguously the best way to support Wikipedia.

This project exists because crypto trading volume is enormous, and pump.fun's charity feature lets a slice of that flow be redirected on-chain. If you were going to ape something today anyway, aping this routes a portion to Wikimedia automatically. That's the entire pitch.

What's the contract address?+

Solana CA: pdfpQk44pUKqYV8BKWZjREHPLvToHFbbduLbDaupump

Always verify the address against this site (wikipetan.fun) and the official X account (@Wikipetancoin) before transacting. Watch out for impostor tokens.

How does the live tracker work?+

The tracker reflects the total USD value routed through pump.fun's charity feature to the Wikimedia Foundation destination wallet. It refreshes every 30 seconds.

v1 is updated when donations are confirmed. v2 (in progress) will read the destination wallet directly on-chain via Solana RPC and update automatically.

Can I see proof of the donations?+

Yes. pump.fun's charity feature is an on-chain mechanism, which means every routed transaction is publicly verifiable on Solana via DexScreener, Solscan, or any block explorer. We will publish the destination wallet on this site so you can audit independently.
