Black Market Launcher overview
Black Market Launcher lets a creator issue a fixed-supply token and open its first market on Robinhood Chain mainnet. A completed launch creates the token, establishes its initial market, permanently locks the launch-owned liquidity, and applies the selected fee and reward policy. A creator may also choose to make an initial purchase as part of the launch.
A launch either completes as a whole or does not create a partial token or market. That finality makes the choices below important for both creators and holders.
What a creator chooses
| Choice | What it determines for the public market |
|---|---|
| Token identity and supply | The token's name, symbol, fixed supply, and token kind. The standard launch token kinds have no post-launch minting path. |
| Template | The token kind, which market fees are active, who can receive them, and whether the launch offers staking or holder-dividend rewards. See Templates, fees, and rewards. |
| Market path and paired asset | Whether the first market is on Abyss DEX or Uniswap V4, the asset used to quote and trade the new token, and the initial market terms. See Paired assets. |
| Fee allocation | Within the limits of the selected template, whether eligible market fees go to the fee owner, a rewards program, or an irreversible launched-token burn. |
The creator begins as the fee owner for any owner allocation. Fee ownership can later change; a change affects future allocations, while amounts already credited remain attributable to the previous owner.
Market outcomes
Black Market Launcher offers two market paths:
| Market path | Outcome |
|---|---|
| Abyss DEX | Creates an Abyss DEX concentrated-liquidity market using a supported fee tier. The chosen template determines how its active market fees may be allocated. |
| Uniswap V4 | Creates a Uniswap V4 market using a supported Abyss fee tier. Its hook fee is 125% of the selected tier—for example, a 0.30% tier produces a 0.375% hook fee. The launch position is split 99% to Uniswap V4 and 1% to an Abyss side market; both positions are permanently locked. Launch terms specify a protocol share of hook fees, which is taken first; only the remainder follows the selected template. Fees from the locked Abyss side position accrue to the protocol-controlled Abyss Bonus Distributor, not to a creator-template reward stream. |
In either path, permanently locked launch-owned liquidity cannot be reclaimed or reconfigured by the creator. A permanent lock can support a standing initial market, but it does not guarantee liquidity depth, trading volume, a stable price, or that a trade will execute at an expected price.
The Abyss Bonus Distributor's owner can move or deploy the assets it has accumulated. Its fees are therefore subject to protocol administrative control and are distinct from fees allocated under a launch template.
Fees and rewards after launch
A template sets the destinations available for the market fees that become available after launch. An owner allocation belongs initially to the creator; a rewards allocation can fund a staking or holder-dividend program; and a burn allocation permanently removes launched tokens from supply. These choices are fixed at launch.
Rewards are funded only from market fees that are actually earned and allocated. Staking and dividend rewards use seven-day streams when they receive funding. They are not a promised yield, an upfront grant, or a guarantee that a holder will receive a reward. See Token kinds and rewards and Templates, fees, and rewards for the differences.

Permanent choices and market risk
A token's supply, template, fee policy, paired asset, and launch-market design are selected at creation and cannot be changed through Black Market Launcher. The protocol does not validate a target price or guarantee price stability, liquidity, rewards, lending eligibility, or recovery of funds. An initial purchase and later trades can be affected by slippage, MEV, shallow liquidity, and unreliable or manipulated price inputs.
Experimental software and administrative risk
Black Market Launcher and its markets carry smart-contract, token, and administrative risk. A launch is not an endorsement of a token, its issuer, its economics, or its suitability as collateral. Protocol administration has an override path for abandoned fee ownership, so fee ownership is not entirely free of administrative risk.
