How it works
No promises. Mechanics. Everything below is enforced by contracts you can read.
01 Launch in one transaction
Name, ticker, image → one signature. The factory deploys the token, creates a Uniswap V4 pool paired with native ETH, mints the full-range liquidity position and hands it to the Locker — all in the same transaction. There is no bonding curve and no migration: the market you launch into is the market forever.
You see your token's address before you sign. Every token address ends in 1007 — mined in your browser, shown in the preview, verified by the factory on-chain.
02 The sniper tax
For the first 3 minutes the swap fee starts at 5% and decays linearly to 1%. Bots that rush block one pay 5×; a human arriving two minutes later pays near the base fee. The fee is enforced by the pool's hook — it cannot be bypassed by routing around the UI.
Snipers pay, you don't. Sniper fees flow into the same split below.
03 LP locked forever — provably
The hook rejects every attempt to remove liquidity. The only call that passes is the Locker collecting fees with liquidityDelta == 0 — which moves fees, never liquidity. This is the actual on-chain check:
revert("LootHook: liquidity locked forever")Not a promise. A revert. Read the verified hook on Blockscout ↗
04 The fee split
Every swap pays a fee. 40% goes to the token's creator, claimable any time in native ETH. 60% goes to the flywheel. Sell-side fees additionally burn the token itself. Zero goes to us — the protocol's income is $LOOT itself.
05 The flywheel
The flywheel vault accumulates ETH from every trade on every token. Anyone can call pump(): it buys $LOOT on the open market and burns it, paying the caller a 0.5% bounty. More trading → more burns → less $LOOT.
06 Graduation
When a token sustains a $50,000 market cap — measured against Chainlink's ETH/USD feed — the hook drops its fee from 1% to 0.5%, permanently. Graduation is one-way and automatic. Nothing else changes: same pool, same locked liquidity.
07 FAQ
- Can the liquidity be pulled?
- No. The hook reverts every liquidity removal except zero-delta fee collection by the Locker. There is no admin path, no timelock, no exception.
- What does the platform take?
- Nothing. 40% of swap fees go to the token's creator; 60% buy and burn $LOOT. The protocol's income is $LOOT itself.
- What stops snipers?
- For the first 3 minutes after launch the swap fee starts at 5% and decays to 1%. Bots that rush the block pay the most. The creator's dev buy inside the launch transaction is exempt.
- What is graduation?
- When a token holds a $50,000 market cap (Chainlink ETH/USD), its fee drops from 1% to 0.5% — permanently. Nothing migrates; the pool never moves.
- Who can call pump()?
- Anyone. It swaps the accumulated ETH for $LOOT and burns it, paying the caller a 0.5% bounty. Slippage is bounded on-chain, so a sandwich can't drain it.
- Are the token contracts verified?
- Every token shares byte-identical bytecode, so Blockscout auto-verifies each one against the first. You can read the code of any token launched here.
