Positions, fees, and rewards
After a confirmed Black Market Launcher launch, the creator, holders, and traders should understand what is locked, how trading fees can be distributed, and which rights can change over time. Always identify the token by its exact address on Robinhood Chain mainnet (chain ID 4663), not by a copied name or ticker.
Locked launch liquidity
The launch model commits initial liquidity to the new market and locks the launch-created position permanently:
| Launch market | What is locked |
|---|---|
| Abyss DEX | The initial Abyss DEX liquidity position created by the launch is permanently locked. |
| Uniswap V4 | The launch position is split 99% to Uniswap V4 and 1% to a related Abyss DEX side market. Both positions are permanently locked. |
A permanent lock means the creator cannot later withdraw, move, resize, or recover that launch-created liquidity. It does not lock liquidity added independently by other people, guarantee that the market will remain deep, or protect holders from price declines, volatility, slippage, or loss.
How trading fees are handled
Trading through the launch liquidity may generate fees. For an Abyss DEX launch, the allocation is selected under the chosen template at launch and is fixed for that launch. Depending on the template, those fees may be directed to:
- the current fee owner;
- eligible staking or holder-dividend rewards participants; or
- a permanent burn of the launched token.
For a Uniswap V4 launch, the hook charges 125% of the selected supported Abyss fee tier—for example, a 0.30% base tier produces a 0.375% hook fee. The launch terms specify the protocol share of hook fees rather than applying a universal 10% share. The protocol 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 accrue to the protocol-controlled Abyss Bonus Distributor, not to the creator or a template reward stream. The Bonus Distributor's owner can move or deploy accumulated assets. Fees must be collected and distributed before a fee owner or eligible participant has a balance to claim. Fee collection is permissionless, but the person who causes collection cannot redirect the funds to different recipients. Trading volume, price movement, liquidity conditions, and the selected template all affect whether template fees accrue; a fee policy is not a revenue or yield guarantee.
Fee ownership and creator rights
The creator is recorded as the initial fee owner. That owner can transfer future fee rights to another address. A transfer affects future distributions; fees already credited to the prior owner remain available to that prior owner.
The protocol's fee-owner registry also has an administrative override path for abandoned launches. This is a material administrative-risk consideration, not a promise that an inactive project will be recovered or supported. Creators and holders should assess the current fee owner and the protocol's administrative-risk disclosures when evaluating a launch.
Rewards and claims
Some templates provide a staking vault or holder-dividend tracker. These reward programs use seven-day reward streams and are funded only when collected trading fees are routed to rewards. They are not funded automatically by creating the token, and they do not promise a return.
For holders and stakers, reward availability depends on the selected template, eligibility, holdings or stake, fee funding, and time in the reward stream. A participant can claim only rewards that have accrued to that participant; a claim with no accrued reward may be rejected and still involve normal network costs.
For fee owners, claims are limited to fees actually credited under the launch policy. Before claiming, confirm the destination address and the asset involved through a trusted Black Market Launcher surface. Do not follow claim links or token-approval prompts sent by an unknown party.
What to review after launch
Use a trusted public launch view or explorer to compare the confirmed public state with the intended launch:
- The exact new-token address, name, symbol, and fixed supply.
- The selected Abyss DEX or Uniswap V4 market, its paired asset, and the locked launch liquidity. For Uniswap V4, confirm the permanently locked 99% Uniswap V4 / 1% Abyss DEX side-position split.
- The template's fee allocation, whether fees can fund rewards or burns, and the current fee owner. For Uniswap V4, separately review the effective hook fee, protocol share, and the Abyss Bonus Distributor destination for side-position fees.
- Whether a rewards program exists, who is eligible, and whether any rewards have actually accrued.
- The risks of the paired asset, market depth, and any issuer, bridge, oracle, or administrative dependency.
Ongoing risks
A permanently locked position is a constraint on the creator, not a guarantee for holders. Newly launched markets may have low liquidity, high price impact, MEV exposure, oracle lag or manipulation risk, and rapid losses. A paired token can depeg, be frozen, become illiquid, or depend on an issuer or bridge. Smart contracts and their administrative controls can also introduce failure or upgrade risk.
Never assume that an official-looking name, a liquidity lock, fee-routing policy, or rewards display makes a token safe or suitable for an investment decision.
