Shotgun.fun announced the public launch of a trading terminal that returns trading fees to users instead of retaining them as revenue. The platform positions itself as a high-performance, non-custodial trading interface that offers cashback on fees, starting at 50% and scaling with trading volume toward a maximum of 100% cash returned to the trader.
Company materials frame the model as a departure from an industry norm in which fees collected by intermediaries on buys, sells and limit orders have become a persistent cost for traders. Shotgun.fun says its tiers are designed to be accessible and that reaching the 100% cashback level is an intended outcome rather than a theoretical cap.
Shotgun.fun is built on a non-custodial architecture and leverages Turnkey for key security, with the firm stating keys are encrypted and controlled exclusively by the user. That security posture is central to the terminal's positioning as a tool for traders who want custody retained in their hands.
The terminal launches with a set of execution and discovery features intended to help users trade quickly and replicate successful strategies. Key features listed by the team include:
- Trenches - a real-time display of new token launches, graduating tokens and migrations before they reach broader market awareness.
- Trader Discovery - a feature to identify prominent traders and follow or copy their trades in real time.
- Instant Trade - one-click execution directly from the chart for faster entry and exit with minimal distractions.
- Limit Orders - automated order types for buying the dip, stop loss, take profit and trailing stop loss to run trades on autopilot.
- Multi-Wallet Management - an interface that aggregates multiple wallets while keeping user control and aiming to reduce friction.
- Portfolio - historical performance tracking for every wallet and token, capturing profit and loss across holdings.
The company emphasizes transparency around insider activity, stating that insiders have extracted hundreds of millions from traders during recent token launches. Shotgun.fun says it will make insider wallets more visible so users can observe their trades and, where desired, copy those moves in real time.
Commercial incentives are built into the product through a referral program that offers up to 50% revenue share across five referral layers. The program is designed so users can receive earnings when their referrals trade on the terminal.
"Until now, traders have been treated as the product, not as users," said Miguel Loures, founder of Shotgun. "We built Shotgun to give the power back to the people."
Shotgun.fun launches with support for the Solana blockchain and the company says additional blockchains and agentic trading capabilities will be added in future releases. The founding team is led by Miguel Loures and Pedro Maurício, who previously built Pulsar Finance - a portfolio manager backed by Delphi Ventures that grew to more than one million users before being acquired by Terraform Labs. The team notes they have been working in this space since 2020.
About the product, Shotgun.fun describes itself as a non-custodial trading terminal offering up to 100% cashback, enterprise-grade execution and a suite of tools engineered for speed and early market visibility. The firm lists a website and a social handle for additional information.
