How MemePad works
Launchpads for coin communities: coins launch paired with the community's coin, fees burn it, graduations lock it. Everything on this page is enforced by immutable contracts on Robinhood Chain.
Overview
MemePad lets any coin community create a launchpad of its own — a pad. Coins launched on a pad trade against that community's coin (not ETH), on a bonding curve that graduates to Uniswap with permanently locked liquidity. The result: every launch creates demand for the pad's coin, every trade burns some of it and funds the pad's treasury, and every graduation locks a piece of it forever.
The launch-path contracts are immutable — no owner, no pause, no blacklist, no upgrade hooks. New features ship as new factory versions; deployed coins keep the code they launched with.
Pads
- A pad is a community's launchpad: its own subdomain (yourpad.memepad.app), its own branding, and its coin as the quote currency for every launch.
- Creating a pad is permissionless and takes one transaction — the Create pad button on the home page.
- The quote coin must have a WETH pool on Uniswap v3 with real liquidity: the factory prices every launch off that pool, so an unpriceable coin cannot open a pad.
- One pad per coin. A community's economy has a single home — a coin that already has a pad can't get a second one.
Launching a coin
One transaction does all of this:
- Deploys the token with a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 — the contract cannot mint more, ever.
- Mints the entire supply into the bonding curve. No dev allocation, no team wallet, no presale — the creator holds only what they buy, via an optional ETH buy-in folded into the launch.
- Burns the mint authority — token ownership goes to the dead address before the first trade.
- Anchors the coin's metadata (image via IPFS, description, links) on-chain, where it can't be swapped later.
- Opens the curve at a $4,000 market cap, sized by an on-chain oracle reading the pad coin's live WETH pool — every launch on every pad starts from the same line.
Trading
Until graduation, the coin trades on its bonding curve — a constant-product market maker inside the coin's own contract. Buys pay the pad's coin in; sells pull it back out, same curve, same fee. There is no code path for a blacklist, a transfer limit, or an asymmetric fee: every coin is sellable from block one.
- Terminal — every pad has one at /terminal: live TradingView candles for every coin, plus the one-tap panel.
- Instant trade — preset buys sized in ETH, sells by % of your bag. Buys pay raw ETH: an immutable zap contract wraps, swaps through the pad coin's v3 pool, and buys the curve in one transaction with no token approvals. Sells come back as ETH (one-time approval). The panel pops up on every coin page.
- Slippage defaults to 30% and is editable; every trade is bounded end-to-end by a minimum-out check.
The 1% fee
Every curve trade pays a flat 1% in the pad's coin, identical for buys and sells, split in the same transaction:
- 50% burned— sent to the dead address; the pad community's coin gets permanently scarcer with every trade.
- 50% to the pad's treasury — a war chest for the community hosting the launch.
From the pad community's perspective: launches on your pad are volume you didn't create and burn you didn't pay for.
Graduation
- When a coin's raised quote reaches the $6,000 target (sized in USD by the on-chain oracle at launch), it graduates.
- The curve's liquidity moves into a Uniswap pool paired with the pad's coin, and the LP position is locked permanently — no function anywhere can withdraw it.
- Anyone can trigger graduation; no one can undo it. Each graduation is a one-way sink for the pad's coin.

Chain: Robinhood Chain (id 4663). The launch path — factory, pads, tokens, curves, zap — is immutable and was verified with real mainnet transactions (launching, buying, selling, graduating). The contracts have not yet been audited by a third-party firm; every guarantee above can be checked directly on-chain.
FAQ
Can the team rug?
No. The launch-path contracts have no owner and no admin functions, and graduation liquidity is locked permanently. There is nothing to rug with.
Can a dev dump on the community?
They can only sell what they bought. The entire supply starts in the curve; there is no dev allocation.
Why price curves in a community's coin?
Because then launches feed the community that hosts them: demand on every buy, burn on every trade, a lock at every graduation.
Where do the USD figures come from?
Display prices use a live ETH/USD spot combined with the pad coin's on-chain WETH pool. Contract-side sizing (the $4,000 start and $6,000 graduation) uses the factory's own oracle, frozen at deployment — so a threshold's real-dollar value drifts with the ETH price, and the UI shows the live number.
What does it cost?
Creating a pad or launching a coin costs only gas (cents). Trading pays the 1% curve fee. MemePad takes no platform cut of launches.
