Launch Modes

Subscription

A fixed price and a target, like Presale — but no rush, and no race.

Deciding whether this is the right launch mode for your token is Create a token. This page is the mechanics: what a subscriber gets and when, what happens if the sale doesn't succeed, and every charge along the way.

Price and allocation

The price is fixed once, before the sale opens — the tokens set aside for sale, divided by the sale's target — and it never moves. What moves is how much of your subscription the target can actually fund: subscribe any amount, any time the window is open, with no cap on the book at all.

Arriving early buys nothing. When the window closes everyone is filled at the same rate, the target divided by the total book, never above one. A wallet with ten times the money always gets ten times the allocation; a small wallet takes a slice but never wins the sale outright by getting there first.

The sale's own progress can read past 100% once the book passes the target — that's how oversubscribed it is. What's actually taken from your subscription is the reciprocal, target ÷ book, always at or under 100% and the same fraction for everyone. You can take your whole subscription back early too, at any point while the window is open: it costs 10% of it, kept by POO.MEME, and the door closes for the last 15 minutes so the final stretch settles with money already there. The fraction the sale doesn't use comes back to you too, but only after the window closes.

From open to close

The creator sets the window — 30 minutes to 7 days. A per-wallet minimum and maximum are both optional; a maximum limits what one wallet may subscribe, not what one person can.

With no cap on the book there is nothing for a subscription to fill early: the sale runs the whole window and ends only at its scheduled time.

If it clears the soft cap

The creator sets a soft cap at creation — at least a quarter of the target, POO.MEME's own floor. Once the window has closed, if the book meets it, the creator has 72 hours to settle.

Meeting the soft cap opens the 72-hour settlement window; it doesn't launch on its own. If nobody settles inside it, the sale is treated exactly like one that never reached its soft cap: every subscription comes back in full.

Settling fixes each subscriber's final allocation from the book, then does four things in one transaction:

• Pairs the liquidity share of what the sale pays out — at least 51%, up to all of it, a creator setting — with the matching tokens at the sale's own price, and schedules trading to open.
• Burns the LP, or locks it for at least 30 days: the creator's choice, made at creation.
• Sends whatever the target didn't use in tokens — an undersubscribed book leaves some of the sale unsold — wherever the creator chose: burned by default, or to the creator, or to a named address.
• Pays the rest to the creator. If that payment can't land, it waits for the creator to claim instead of holding anything else up.

Once trading opens, claim your tokens from the sale's panel. If the creator set vesting — a share released the moment it settles, then a cliff and a straight release, the two together capped at a year — what you can claim grows on that schedule instead of arriving all at once.

Whether or not the sale ever settles, the quote the target didn't use is yours from the moment the window closes: withdraw it from the sale's panel any time. Money nobody comes back for waits there indefinitely — nobody, not even POO.MEME, can sweep it.

If it doesn't

Missing the soft cap by the scheduled end, or letting the 72-hour settlement window lapse unused, both read ✕Failed — It ended without succeeding; contributors take their money back.. The creator can also cancel the sale outright at any point before it settles, which reads —Cancelled — Its finalizer stopped it; contributors take their money back. and hands whatever supply the sale still held back to the creator — nothing is burned. Those tokens cannot fund a second sale, though: a token gets one launch for its whole life, so a token whose sale was cancelled or failed can never open trading, and starting over means creating a new token. A ✕Failed — It ended without succeeding; contributors take their money back. sale hands the same tokens back too, but only once somebody asks for them: anyone can send that transaction, and the tokens reach the creator whoever does — the creator's own panel offers it. The tokens and the money are separate errands; returning the tokens changes nothing about a refund.

Either way, every subscriber takes their subscription back in full from the sale's panel, whenever they like — there is no deadline on a refund. Asking for yours is what moves the badge: the first subscriber to call it flips the sale to ✕Failed — It ended without succeeding; contributors take their money back. for everyone else too.

What it costs

A subscription itself is never touched. POO.MEME takes 5% of what the sale uses at settlement, out of what would otherwise reach the creator, and 10% of anything taken back early, which stays with POO.MEME. Once trading opens, the ordinary rules take over for every trade on the pool: the token's own tax table and POO.MEME's share, same as any launched token.
