Launch choices
Black Market Launcher lets a creator establish a fixed-supply token and its initial trading setup in a single launch.
Experimental protocol
A launch does not establish a token's value, guarantee trading liquidity, or make a paired asset safe. Review every choice carefully and use only funds you can afford to lose.
Launches are available on Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain ID 4663).
What a creator chooses
| Choice | What it determines |
|---|---|
| Token identity | The token's name, symbol, and fixed supply. A name or symbol is not unique and is not proof of authenticity. |
| Template | The token kind, whether a rewards program exists, which pool profile is allowed, and where trading fees may go. |
| Market model | Whether the first market uses Abyss DEX or Uniswap V4, plus the paired asset and the model's available settings. |
| Initial price and liquidity | The opening price relationship, price range, and launch-token inventory committed to the first market. These choices shape early trading conditions; they do not guarantee a market value. |
| Optional first buy | Whether the creator also purchases launch tokens as the market opens, subject to the protections shown before confirmation. |
| Fee allocation | The permitted split of trading fees among the fee owner, eligible rewards participants, and—in templates that allow it—permanent token burns. |
Not every combination is available. The chosen template, market model, and paired asset set the limits on the launch. Review Templates, fees, and rewards and Pool choices and pricing before committing.
Token and template choices
The launch creates a token with a fixed supply. The normal launch design does not provide a later supply increase, so supply should be considered a permanent choice. The selected template also fixes the token kind:
- Burnable tokens have a fixed supply that can be reduced by burns.
- Holder dividend tokens include a holder-reward program whose eligibility and funding follow the selected template.
Templates can also provide staking rewards, route fees to the creator or rewards participants, or require eligible launched-token fees to be burned. These rules are established at launch and cannot be retrofitted later. In particular, a fee allocation to burns is irreversible once fees are collected.
See Token kinds and rewards for the holder-facing behavior of each token kind.
Choosing the market and paired asset
The paired asset is the unit in which the launch market is quoted. Its price, liquidity, transfer behavior, and provenance affect the launch and every later trade. A familiar ticker, an apparent dollar peg, or a token's presence in a catalog is not a guarantee of value, redemption, or compatibility.
- Abyss DEX launches create a concentrated-liquidity Abyss DEX market. Depending on the template, the creator can select from currently available fee settings.
- Uniswap V4 launches select a currently supported Abyss fee tier and create a related Abyss DEX side market. The V4 hook fee is 125% of that selected tier—for example, a 0.30% base tier results in a 0.375% hook fee.
- An Abyss DEX launch can include an ETH-funded first purchase when the pair is WETH. A Uniswap V4 launch uses the selected paired ERC-20 for its first purchase rather than native ETH.
The Paired assets and quote catalog lists current public paired assets. Always verify the exact token address from a trusted source, not only its name or logo.
Initial price, liquidity, and first purchase
An initial price expresses the opening relationship between the new token and its paired asset. It is not a promise of a dollar price, market capitalization, collateral value, or future exchange rate. Any price estimate used to choose that opening relationship can become stale or be wrong, especially when the paired asset is volatile or thinly traded.
Launch liquidity is concentrated in a selected price range. That can make early prices move sharply when trading begins, and a small trade may receive a materially different price from the displayed opening price. For a Uniswap V4 launch, 99% of the launch position goes to Uniswap V4 and 1% goes to the Abyss DEX side market; both positions are permanently locked after a successful launch. A lock prevents the creator from withdrawing either initial position, but does not ensure that future trades have adequate depth.
A creator may choose an optional first purchase. Review the amount paid, the amount expected, and the displayed price protection before signing. If price protection prevents the purchase from completing at worse terms, reassess the market conditions rather than weakening the protection just to complete the launch.
Fees and rewards
Each template restricts which fee assets are active and which destinations are allowed. Depending on the template, trading fees can be directed to:
- the current fee owner;
- eligible staking or dividend rewards participants; or
- a permanent burn of the launched token.
The launch records this policy for the market. Fees are not guaranteed: they depend on trading activity, collection, and distribution. Rewards are not a yield promise, and a rewards-enabled template does not by itself fund a reward balance.
For a Uniswap V4 launch, the launch terms specify the protocol share of hook fees; there is no universal 10% protocol share. That share is taken first, and only the remaining hook fees follow the selected template's allocation. Fees from the permanently locked 1% Abyss DEX side position instead accrue to the protocol-controlled Abyss Bonus Distributor. Its owner can move or deploy accumulated assets, so this side-position fee stream is not a creator or template reward.
Before committing
Make sure the confirmation screen matches your intended launch:
- The wallet is on Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain ID
4663). - The name, symbol, fixed supply, token kind, and template are correct.
- The market model, paired asset's exact address, price assumptions, and initial liquidity match your decision.
- For a Uniswap V4 launch, the selected fee tier, effective hook fee, applicable protocol share, and the 99% Uniswap V4 / 1% Abyss DEX locked-position split are understood.
- Any first purchase, fee allocation, and rewards policy are understood as long-lived or permanent choices.
- The payment and any token spending permission shown by the wallet are limited to what you intend to use.
Smart contracts, administrative controls, external asset issuers, price feeds, and market participants can all introduce risk. See Before you sign for the confirmation and failure behavior.
