Hold it.
Create anything.
What Fab is, and how it works from the first click to the last, in plain language.
What Fab is
Fab is an AI creation studio that you unlock by holding a coin instead of paying a subscription.
Every serious AI tool today works the same way: you hand over a credit card, you get a monthly plan, and you rent access to one company's models. If you want images from one lab, video from another and text from a third, that is three subscriptions, three logins and three bills.
Fab replaces all of that with one asset. You hold FAB in your Solana wallet, and that balance earns you credits every day. Those credits work across more than 900 models: image, video, speech, music, text, code and transcription, from every major lab, in one studio, behind one wallet login. Hold more, earn more. Nothing is staked, nothing is locked, your tokens never leave your wallet.
The coin is the key. The studio is the product. They only work together.
The idea in one paragraph
A subscription is money you spend and never see again. A bag is money you keep. Fab turns a held balance into a daily allowance of AI usage, priced at cost, with the tokens still yours the whole time. The people who hold the coin are the customers of the studio, and the revenue the coin generates is used to buy the coin back. Holders and users are the same people, and the business model rewards both.
How it works, start to end
Connect a wallet
Fab runs on Solana. Open the site, click Connect, and pick Phantom, Solflare or Backpack. There are no accounts, no emails, no passwords. Your wallet address is your identity.
Get FAB
FAB launches on pump.fun. You buy it there like any other coin. The official mint address is shown here and on the home page so there is never any doubt about which coin is the real one.
Hold and earn credits
There is no staking step. Fab reads your FAB balance straight from Solana, and while it sits in your wallet it earns credits. The rule is simple and linear.
- Every 100,000 FAB held earns 10 credits a day.
- 500,000 earns 50 a day. 1,000,000 earns 100 a day. 37,000 earns 3.7.
- No tiers, no thresholds, no rounding against you.
Credits bank in your account, up to 30 days of your current rate, so a 1M bag can hold up to 3000 credits. One rule keeps it fair: each stretch of time earns on the lowest balance you held during it, read from your actual transactions. Selling or sending tokens away lowers what that stretch earns; buying more or receiving tokens never hurts. That stops the same tokens being passed around between wallets to earn twice.
Sign in once
The first time you use the studio, your wallet asks you to sign a short message: “Sign in to Fab.” That signature costs nothing, is not a transaction, and simply proves that you control the wallet. It starts a session that lasts a week.
Create
The studio is one page with seven modes: Image, Video, Speech, Music, Text, Code and Transcribe. Pick a mode, pick a model from the full catalog with the price of every model shown next to its name, set the options, write your prompt.
Before you click, the studio tells you exactly what the run will cost in credits and in dollars. One credit is one cent of the model's list price, rounded up. Nothing is marked up.
Click Generate. The credits are deducted, the job runs, and the result lands in the output panel and in your history. If a run fails for any reason, the credits come back automatically.
What happens under the hood
When you click Generate, your browser sends the request to Fab's server along with your session. The server does five things in order.
- Confirms the session belongs to your wallet.
- Reads your FAB balance directly from Solana and works out the lowest balance you held since your last visit. This happens on every request, so a session can never out-earn a wallet.
- Settles your credit accrual up to that second and deducts the cost of the run.
- Sends the job to the compute network that hosts the model, using Fab's own account. Your wallet never touches a model provider, and no API key ever reaches your browser.
- Returns the output to you and records the job. If the provider fails, the same record is used to refund your credits.
Prices are not typed in by hand. The server reads the live price list from the compute network, converts it into credits with the same formula the studio uses, and charges that number. What you see before you click is what you pay.
Fab never touches your coins. The only thing the team operates is the compute account that pays for the models.
Security and trust
- Nothing to approve. Fab never asks for a transaction or a token approval. Your FAB stays in your wallet.
- Signatures cannot move tokens. The sign-in message is plain text with your address, a timestamp and a random nonce. It is not a transaction and cannot be replayed.
- Sessions are wallet-bound. A session for one wallet cannot be used to spend another wallet's credits.
- Every request is idempotent. A request that reaches the server twice is charged once.
- Refunds are automatic. Failed jobs give credits back without anyone filing a ticket.
The business model and the buyback
FAB trades on pump.fun. Every buy and sell of the coin generates a creator fee, and that fee is Fab's revenue.
That revenue has two jobs. The first is to fund the compute bill, since every generation costs real money at the model providers. The second is to buy FAB back on the open market. Whatever the compute bill does not consume is used to purchase the coin.
The loop closes like this. More people wanting to create means more people holding. More holding means more demand for the coin. More demand means more trading and more creator fees. More fees means a bigger compute budget and a bigger buyback. The studio drives the coin, the coin funds the studio, and the excess goes back to the market that the holders make.
There is no separate investor class. The people using the product are the people holding the coin, and the revenue the product generates is used to buy the thing they hold.
Why Solana and pump.fun
Solana is where the traders already are, and a wallet balance can be read in milliseconds, so the studio can check your bag on every run without you doing anything. pump.fun gives the coin a fair launch, a public curve and a creator fee that flows to the project. Fab is built on that fee.

Frequently asked
- Do I pay gas every time I create?
- No. Creating is off-chain. The only on-chain action is buying the coin.
- What if I sell?
- Your banked credits stay and you can spend them. You just stop earning new ones.
- Does buying more help straight away?
- Yes, from that moment on. Time before the buy earns at the balance you had then. Nothing you receive can ever lower your credits.
- Which models are available?
- Everything in the catalog, updated automatically as new models are released. Frontier and open models alike, priced at list.
- What is a credit worth?
- One cent of model list price. The studio shows both the credit and dollar cost before every run.
- Can I use Fab without holding?
- No. Credits only come from a held balance. That is the whole point.
