How POTLAUNCH Works

Overview

POTLAUNCH revolutionizes token launches by combining:

• Smart Contract Automation - Fully automated launch and trading mechanisms
• Dynamic Pricing - Mathematical bonding curves for fair price discovery
• Cross-Chain Integration - Bridge tokens across multiple blockchains
• Anti-Rug Protection - Built-in safety mechanisms to protect participants

Core Components

1. Token Launch Engine

The launch engine handles all aspects of token creation and initialization:

User Input → Validation → Token Creation → Launch Configuration → Price Discovery

Key Features:

• Automated SPL token creation
• Configurable launch parameters
• Built-in metadata management
• Integrated liquidity provision

2. Bonding Curve Mechanism

POTLAUNCH uses mathematical bonding curves to determine token prices dynamically:

Price = f(Supply, Reserve, Curve Parameters)

Benefits:

• Continuous liquidity
• Fair price discovery
• No order books needed
• Predictable pricing

Supported Curves:

• Linear curves
• Exponential curves
• Logarithmic curves
• Custom curves

3. Liquidity Management System

Automated liquidity management ensures smooth trading and DEX migration:

Process Flow:

Initial Launch → Bonding Curve Trading → Graduation Threshold → DEX Migration

Features:

• Automatic liquidity pool creation
• Graduated DEX migration (Raydium/Meteora)
• Locked liquidity for security
• LP token distribution

4. Cross-Chain Bridge

Enables token bridging across multiple blockchains:

Supported Networks:

• Solana (native)
• NEAR Protocol
• Ethereum (planned)
• Base/Cyber (planned)

Bridge Features:

• Fast cross-chain transfers
• Low bridging fees
• Secure multi-sig validation
• Automatic token wrapping/unwrapping

How It Works: Step by Step

Phase 1: Token Creation

1. User Submits Token Details

   • Token name, symbol, description
   • Logo and metadata
   • Social links and documentation

2. Smart Contract Initialization

   // Simplified example
   const token = await createToken({
     name: "My Token",
     symbol: "MTK",
     decimals: 9,
     supply: 1_000_000_000,
   });

3. Launch Configuration

   • Bonding curve type selection
   • Initial pricing parameters
   • Trading fee structure
   • Graduation threshold

Phase 2: Price Discovery

1. Initial Trading Phase

   • Tokens sold via bonding curve
   • Price increases with demand
   • Continuous liquidity available

2. Dynamic Pricing

   Current Price = Base Price × (1 + Supply / Curve Factor)^Curve Power

3. Market Making

   • Automatic buy/sell execution
   • No slippage protection needed
   • Fair pricing for all participants

Phase 3: Graduation & DEX Migration

1. Threshold Achievement

   • Bonding curve reaches target market cap
   • Sufficient liquidity accumulated
   • Community validation passed

2. Liquidity Migration

   Bonding Curve → Extract Liquidity → Create DEX Pool → Lock LP Tokens

3. DEX Trading

   • Token listed on Raydium/Meteora
   • Free market trading begins
   • Liquidity permanently locked

Phase 4: Cross-Chain Expansion

1. Bridge Initialization

   • Token approved for bridging
   • Wrapped token contracts deployed
   • Bridge validators activated

2. Cross-Chain Transfers

   Solana Token → Lock → Mint Wrapped Token → Destination Chain

3. Multi-Chain Presence

   • Trade on multiple DEXs
   • Expanded user base
   • Increased liquidity

Security Architecture

Smart Contract Security

Key Security Features:

• Audited smart contracts
• Time-locked operations
• Multi-signature requirements
• Emergency pause mechanisms

Anti-Rug Mechanisms

1. Liquidity Locking

   • Automatic LP token burning
   • Time-locked withdrawals
   • Transparent locking periods

2. Supply Controls

   • Fixed token supply
   • No mint authority
   • No freeze authority

3. Fair Launch Guarantees

   • Equal access for all participants
   • No pre-sales or insider allocations
   • Transparent pricing algorithms

Audit & Verification

• Third-party security audits
• Open-source code verification
• Community bug bounty program
• Continuous security monitoring

const launch = await potlaunch.createLaunch({
  // ... parameters
});
 
// Buy tokens
await potlaunch.buyTokens({
  launchAddress: launch.address,
  amount: 1000,
});
