Which numbers are real
A launchpad that quotes coins in other coins has one obvious failure mode: a price nobody can check. This page says exactly where every figure on the site comes from.
01 Where prices come from
A coin's price in its parent is read from its Uniswap v4 pool, the same number every other interface sees. Nothing is set by the pad and nothing is smoothed.
Two outside numbers turn that into dollars: ETH/USD, from CoinGecko, and, for coins paired with an outside token, that token's dollar price from the market board. Both only ever change a label. If either feed died the pools would keep trading and only the dollar column would go dark. The one place a dollar figure touches the chain is the opening price of a launch: the pad turns the $4,000 target into a price in the parent at the moment you launch.
02 How a dollar figure is built
usd_price = p₁ × p₂ × … × pₙ × eth_usd for the n hops between the coin and ETH, where an outside parent's hop is its own dollar price over ETH's
market_cap = usd_price × 1,000,000,000
| Figure | Source | Status in this build |
|---|---|---|
| Pair price | The pool's current sqrt price | Read from Uniswap's PoolManager through the launcher |
| Price series | The pool's Swap logs | Every swap's resulting price, from the launch on |
| In the pool | The locked position | Computed from its liquidity and the current price |
| Outside parent price | Market board, then DexScreener | Display only |
| USD price and market cap | Path product × ETH/USD | Computed live, ETH/USD cached two minutes |
| Coins, creators, holders | The launcher and Transfer logs | Read from the chain; the pool manager, the launcher and the burn address are not counted as holders |
03 What the fee schedule actually is
| Recipient | Bps | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Protocol | 300.00 | 3% of every swap, charged by the pool in the token paid in, collected by the owner |
| Liquidity | 0 | The locked position earns the fee; its principal never moves, and the pool's hook lets nobody else add liquidity to share it |
| Creator | 0 | Creators hold what they buy, nothing more |
04 The honest weaknesses
- Parent risk is not diversifiable. If the coin you are paired with collapses, your dollar chart collapses with it even if nobody sold you. Being exposed to your denominator is the product.
- An opening market cap is not liquidity. A coin opens at $4,000 with nothing on the parent side. The first seller can only be paid by earlier buyers.
- The fee is high. 3% each way is more than most pools charge, on every interface, on every trade.
05 What is real in this build
Everything on the pad is read from the chain: the coins from the launcher, prices from each pool, the line from the pool's Swap logs, holders from Transfer logs. The animated pulses on the tree are real swaps, read from the PoolManager every few seconds.
The contracts are this pad's own, tested against Uniswap's own v4 PoolManager and run on a fork of mainnet before deployment. They have not been audited by anyone outside the project. Read what this build actually is before putting in anything you would mind losing.
