Launch Modes
Curve
No window and no presale at all: trading opens the moment the curve is created and funded, against a price the curve itself quotes.
Deciding whether this is the right launch mode for your token is Create a token. This page is the mechanics: how the price moves, what happens when it fills, and every charge along the way.
Price and supply
A curve must be given the token's entire supply — not a share of it, all of it — split at creation into what it sells along the way and what it reserves to seed the pool at graduation. That is a structural requirement, not a setting: a token that gave any share to a token module can't fund a curve with what remains, because the two together no longer add up to the whole. A buy raises the price along a fixed curve; a sell moves it back down, at the exact price that same curve already quotes — there is no separate pool and no separate liquidity until it graduates, so the curve is both sides of the market the whole time.
Two figures decide its shape, and neither is something you choose:
- Target — how much the curve needs to raise, in quote, before it graduates. One figure, the same for every curve POO.MEME deploys on the chain.
- The multiple — how many times higher the last trade before graduation lands than the very first one. Fixed at 16×, the direct result of the 80/20 split between what the curve sells along the way and what it reserves to seed the pool.
You can always sell back into the curve too, for as long as it's trading — never more than the curve itself has sold. Buyers hold real tokens for the whole of the curve's life, before the pool even opens.
The creator's opening buy
A creator can buy into their own curve in the very transaction that creates it, and say how much quote to spend while setting the launch up. It is an ordinary buy in every respect: the same starting price, the same 1% fee, the same cap, and the tokens land as a plain balance they can sell straight back into the curve like anybody else. Nothing locks them and nothing vests them.
The create page shows what that spend buys before it is signed — the tokens and the share of the supply they come to — and the launch itself reports both figures afterwards, so anyone reading the page later sees exactly what the creator took at the start.
Asking for more than the curve's whole remaining room doesn't make a smaller buy: it refuses the creation outright, so nothing is created and nothing is spent. Asking for nothing is just a curve that opens with no trade on it, which is how every curve worked before.
Live to launched
A curve that hasn't filled never fails. It just keeps trading, with the same sell always there as the way out.
Of the four launch modes, this is the only one that can reach neither Failed — It ended without succeeding; contributors take their money back. nor Cancelled — Its finalizer stopped it; contributors take their money back. — its status answers only Live — The launch is accepting funds. or Launched — Trading is open.. None of that touches a buyer: selling back runs for the whole of a curve's life, so anyone who bought in can always trade back out, and nobody who never bought is ever out of pocket. What a creator risks by choosing this mode is their own locked supply and the creation fee, not anyone else's money.
The moment a buy takes the curve to exactly its target, that same buy opens the pool: it creates the pool, seeds it with the whole of the target and the tokens held back for it since creation, burns the LP — the curve carries no lock at all — and burns whatever tokens it still holds, then opens trading. All of it happens inside that one buy, before it returns; nobody is credited anything, because there is no claim on a Curve.
What it costs
POO.MEME takes a 1% fee from the quote side of every trade, on both buys and sells, for as long as the curve is trading — the only charge a curve trade carries. Once it graduates, trading moves to the pool and the ordinary rules take over: the token's own tax table and POO.MEME's share, same as any launched token.
