PocketChange on Solana

Turning pocket change into institutional-grade arbitrage exposure.

PocketChange Protocol is the decentralized arbitrage protocol behind $PCP. Users deposit SOL or USDC into the PocketChange Vault, receive liquid pool-share exposure, and participate in automated arbitrage across Solana DEXs, external venues, and event-driven dislocations.

The Problem

Arbitrage is reliable, but it is still gated behind speed, capital, and infrastructure.

PocketChange exists to make high-frequency arbitrage participation accessible without asking every holder to build bots, colocate servers, or fight MEV infrastructure alone.

Retail capital is usually too small to capture thin but repeatable spreads.
Latency, routing complexity, and operational overhead favor institutional players.
MEV and sandwich attacks punish public, unsheltered execution.

The Solution

A community-owned vault with compounding exposure to arbitrage profits.

PocketChange routes pooled capital into automated strategies, compounds 80% of realized gains back into the vault, and directs 20% to the treasury for protocol growth, safety, and governance.

Deposits mint liquid pool-share exposure via $PCP.
Execution uses private routing, Jito-aware protection, and atomic transaction design.
Withdrawals burn $PCP and apply a 0.5% unstaking fee to protect the pool.

Core Strategies

Triangular Arbitrage

Exploit price gaps between SOL, USDC, and USDT pairs across Solana venues.

0.1–0.5% per trade

CEX–DEX Arbitrage

Route capital between centralized exchanges and on-chain liquidity for spread capture.

0.5–2% per cycle

Flash Loan Arbitrage

Use atomic capital to close transient inefficiencies without locking user funds.

Variable

Prediction Market Arb

Capture complete-set dislocations and event-driven price mismatches.

Event-driven

Vault Economics

Tokenomics that reward long-term participation.

Allocation	Share	Terms
Liquidity Pool (SOL/$PCP)	30%	Locked 12 months
Vault Staking Rewards	20%	Emitted over 3 years
Team	15%	1-year cliff, 2-year linear
Treasury	15%	Multi-sig controlled
Community Airdrops	10%	Immediate
Strategic Partners	10%	6-month cliff

Mint authority renounced.
Freeze authority renounced.
LP tokens locked via Streamflow.

Architecture

Deposit, execute, compound, report.

User deposits USDC or SOL into the PocketChange Vault.
The vault mints $PCP as the liquid pool-share token.
Off-chain execution bots score and route arbitrage opportunities.
Profits remain mostly in the vault, increasing underlying token value.
Treasury capture funds audits, growth, and insurance-oriented safeguards.

Public Readiness Surface

pcprotocol.dev now exposes the operational surfaces the protocol needs for demo and monitoring.

Name	Path	Purpose
Public Health	/api/health	Site and backend readiness signal
Arb Windows	/api/arb-windows	Backend opportunity proxy when enabled
Alpha Signals	/api/alpha-signals	Signal feed proxy for dashboards and tooling
Token Scan	/api/token-scan	Scanner surface for discovery workflows
Code Audit	/api/code-audit	Audit endpoint for external review tooling

The frontend never embeds trading secrets or wallet material. Backend proxying is controlled by server-side environment configuration only.

Roadmap

From vault launch to governed, cross-chain expansion.

Q2 2026: Token foundation, Raydium liquidity, vault contract work, and community launch.
Q3 2026: Mainnet vault launch, initial arbitrage strategies, and first profit distribution.
Q4 2026: Flash loans, prediction market arb, negative-rate monitoring, and exchange expansion.
2027: DAO governance, cross-chain expansion, and institutional integrations.

Transparency

Open code, visible profits, and community-readable operations.

Open Source

Code, monitoring, and deployment surfaces are versioned in GitHub.

Real-Time Dashboard

Health, arb, and signal surfaces are designed for public monitoring and operator review.

Community Treasury

Treasury capture and future governance are part of the protocol’s operating model.
