What happens when you press launch, what it costs, what you earn, and what you cannot do afterwards.
1One transaction, everything at once
Launching deploys your token, creates its Uniswap V3 pool against WETH, deposits the entire 1,000,000,000 supply as liquidity, and locks that liquidity permanently — in a single transaction. There is no bonding curve and nothing to migrate later. Trading starts on Uniswap in the same block.
2What it costs
A launch fee (0.0005 ETH by default, read from the contract at launch) plus whatever you choose to spend on an opening buy. The opening buy goes through the pool at the opening price and is not capped — it is also public, shown in the launch event and on your token page. With a launch FDV of roughly 1.36 ETH, 0.5 ETH buys about 27% of supply. Choose deliberately.
3What you earn
Two streams. First, your trading fee: pick 0–5% at launch (default 2%) and it is paid to you in ETH, instantly, on every buy and sell through the app. It is set once and can never be raised, so buyers know what they are paying. Second, 70% of the pool’s 1% swap fee, which accrues inside the locked position on every trade anywhere and is claimed from your profile page as WETH and your token. Both recipients can be redirected to another wallet.
4The first thirty seconds
In the launch block nobody but you can buy. For the 300 L2 blocks after it — about thirty seconds — every other wallet is capped at 5% of supply and 5.5% bought in total, whether it buys from the pool directly or through the router. Then your token is a plain ERC-20 with no rules, no owner, and no way to mint more. The token page counts the blocks down.
5What you cannot do
Withdraw the liquidity. Mint tokens. Pause trading. Change the fee split. Neither can we — the locker contract has no function for any of it. That is the point, and it is what a buyer is trusting when they buy your token.
6Graduation
Your market is labelled graduated once the locked position holds 4.2 WETH — roughly a 17× move from the opening price. It is a milestone, not a migration; nothing moves.
7Before you launch
- Everything is on Robinhood Chain mainnet with real ETH. There is no testnet for this protocol.
- Name, symbol, logo, description and socials are stored on chain and cannot be edited later.
- The app simulates your launch before opening your wallet, so a revert costs you nothing.
- The contracts are unaudited. Read the security section.
- Have the launch fee plus your opening buy plus gas in the wallet before you start; the app reads the fee from the contract and shows the total before you sign.
- Upload the logo as a square image under 2 MB. It is resized to 512px and its URL is written into the token; a missing logo is shown as the first letter of the symbol.
- After the launch confirms, the app asks for a second signature to set your trading fee. If you decline it, the fee is 0% and can be set once later from your token page — but never raised after that.
8Questions creators ask
- Can I launch with no opening buy?
- Yes. Send exactly the launch fee. The whole supply then sits in the pool at the opening price and the first buyer sets the first trade.
- Why can buyers not buy in my launch block?
- So nobody can front-run you inside your own transaction. The launch block admits only your opening buy; every other buy in it reverts. For the next 300 L2 blocks, about thirty seconds, each wallet is capped at 5% of supply.
- When do I see my fees?
- Your trading fee arrives in ETH with every trade through the app, immediately. The pool fee share accrues inside the locked position and appears on your profile page as a claimable amount; nothing is pushed to you automatically. A zero there means “not yet”, not “already paid”.
- Can I change the fee wallet?
- Yes, both of them. The receiving wallet for the trading fee can be moved by the current wallet or by you; the pool-fee redirect is set from your profile. The percentages cannot change.
- What if I sell my own tokens?
- You can, like anyone else, and it is visible: the token page and the whale feed label creator sells, and the safety panel counts them. The liquidity itself is not yours to move, so a sell is a sell, not a rug.
- Can I launch the same name twice?
- Names and symbols are not unique on chain; the address is. The app picks a fresh salt per launch, so two launches with identical details are two different tokens. Buyers should check the address, and your token page shows it.
- Where is my token listed?
- On Discover as soon as the indexer sees the launch event, usually within one pass. Trading on Uniswap works from the launch block regardless of what the app shows.
