How it works: curve, locked, pool
A launch mints 1,000,000,000 tokens once, straight to the curve. There is no creator allocation: a pre-buy is an ordinary buy on the same curve, at the same fee, in the same transaction. Up to 800M sell on the curve. When the curve has raised 3 ETH it locks, and the liquidity moves into a Uniswap v4 pool that nobody can withdraw.
| Phase | What you can do | What happens next |
|---|---|---|
| Curve | Buy and sell against the curve at the quoted price. Trading fee up to 1%, fixed at launch. | Every buy fills the curve. At 3 ETH raised it locks. |
| Locked | Selling stays open. Buying reverts, because the curve has nothing left to sell. | Anyone can call graduate() and is paid 1.5% of the reserve for it. |
| Graduated | Trade in the Uniswap v4 pool through any v4 router. The curve is closed for good. | Fees keep accruing to the creator and the protocol, and are claimed here. |
What graduation actually does
- The reserve left after the 3% fee, plus about 155M tokens, open one Uniswap v4 pool at the exact price the curve closed at. The leftover tokens go to the burn address.
- The LP position belongs to the vault contract and is locked, not burned: there is no path that withdraws it, and the fees it earns are collected and split forever.
- A swap then costs 1.30%: 0.30% to the pool and 1% to the launch hook. Anyone may add their own liquidity to that pool, or open a separate pool without the hook.
- The token page keeps a Buy and Sell box after graduation, routed through the pool instead of the curve, on networks with a confirmed Universal Router. Elsewhere it shows the pool id and links to the PoolManager the pool lives in.
| Fee | Amount | Who gets it |
|---|---|---|
| Curve trade | up to 1% of each buy and sell | up to 70% creator, at least 30% protocol |
| Graduation | 3% of the reserve, once (0.09 ETH off a full curve) | half to whoever calls graduate(), half to the protocol |
| Pool swap | 1.30% total: 0.30% to the pool, 1% to the hook | 70% creator, 30% protocol, on both streams |
These numbers are read from the launchpad deployed on Base B20: a virtual reserve of 0.75 ETH makes the target 3 ETH and a market cap of 18.75 ETH at graduation. Each network sets its own scale, so a target quoted on another network will differ.

Creator-side fees claimable on-chain now - curve + pool + vault, protocol share excluded
No creator fees indexed yet. Every curve trade and pool swap accrues a creator share that shows up here.
Curve fees split per each token's own config; pool fees settle through the hook. Auto-buybacks come out of the creator's share only.
