Shotgun.fun went live today, June 10, 2026, as a high-performance trading terminal promising up to 100% of trading fees back to users. Cashback starts at 50% and scales with volume. The platform is fully non-custodial, secured through Turnkey — meaning private keys stay encrypted and accessible only to the individual trader.
Cashback and self-custody
The fee-rebate model is the headline grabber, but the architecture matters more. Shotgun doesn't hold user funds. Keys are managed via Turnkey's infrastructure, so the exchange can't move assets on its own. That design choice tries to solve a common tension in high-volume trading: speed versus control. Shotgun says traders keep both.
What the terminal actually does
Shotgun ships with features aimed at retail and pro traders alike. Trenches surfaces real-time new token launches. Trader Discovery lets users find wallets with track records, then view and copy their trades in real time — a deliberate push for transparency. The team wants to expose insider wallets, not hide them. Other tools include Instant Trade, Limit Orders, Multi-Wallet Management, and a Portfolio view. A referral program offers up to 50% revenue share across five referral layers.
Who built it
Shotgun is led by Miguel Loures and Pedro Maurício, the founding team behind Pulsar Finance. That project was backed by Delphi Ventures, grew to over one million users, and was eventually acquired by Terraform Labs. They've been building in crypto since 2020. Their track record lends some credibility to a product entering a crowded field of trading terminals.
Loures put it plainly: 'Until now, traders have been treated as the product, not as users. We built Shotgun to give the power back to the people.'
Today's launch supports Solana only. The team says more blockchains are coming, along with agentic trading tools. No timeline was given. For now, the focus is on proving the model on one chain first — and hoping traders see the fee rebates as more than just a gimmick.
