đ How it works
Everything you need to know about creating, trading, referrals, fees, graduation, and staking.
Overview
Each token launched on HOOD MEMES is an on-chain ERCâ20 with a builtâin exponential bonding curve for fair price discovery. Fees from trading are split between the creator, stakers, and the treasury. Tokens graduate to PancakeSwap once the curve completes or the reserve hits the target, and stakers receive a share of graduated tokens.
Wallet System
Two Ways to Transact
MetaMask Wallet
- Self-custodial - you control your private keys
- Requires manual signing for each transaction
- Full control over your assets
- Connect via MetaMask browser extension
Custodial Wallet
- Managed by HOOD MEMES platform
- Fast transactions without signing
- Get one by logging in with Twitter
- Secure server-side transaction processing
How to Get a Custodial Wallet
Simply sign in with Twitter on the Creator Dashboard. We'll automatically create a secure custodial wallet for you. This wallet allows for instant transactions without the need to sign each one, making trading and token creation much faster and smoother.
Launch flow
- Creator deploys a token via our factory. The token stores its metadata on-chain (name, symbol, description, image URL, website, socials).
- Supply: 10,000,000,000 tokens are minted to the token contract. Allocation:
- ~79% distributed via the bonding curve (public buys)
- 20% reserved for LP at graduation (added to PancakeSwap)
- 1% reserved for stakers (distributed on graduation)
- Initial price/curve parameters: base price a â 0.000000000922221026 HOOD; curvature k = 1.6.
- Optional âCreate & Buyâ: the factory performs an immediate buy with your HOOD and forwards received tokens to you.
Trading on the bonding curve
- Buy and sell happen directly with the token contract (no external AMM before graduation).
- Pricing is exponential with closedâform math; large trades are priced fairly via integrals (no step slippage).
- Antiâbot max wallet: 4% of total supply on buys. There is no perâtx max, only perâwallet limit.
- Launch whitelist window: for the first scheduled blocks (default 0), only whitelisted addresses can buy. The creator can add addresses after launch.
Fees and revenue split
Trade fees
- Buy fee: 2% of HOOD in
- Sell fee: 2% of HOOD out
Split of each fee
- Treasury: 60%
- Creator: 30%
- Stakers: 10% (sent to the StakingRewards contract)
Fees are accrued per trade and immediately âflushedâ: HOOD for Treasury and Stakers is pushed right away so stakers can earn continuously.
Referrals (buyâonly)
- Singleâlevel referral pays 0.20% of the trade (20 bps) on buys to the referrer.
- This referral amount comes out of Treasuryâs share of the buy fee (and is capped so Treasury never goes negative).
- Rewards accrue on each token separately; referrers can claim perâtoken or batchâclaim via the factory helper.
Graduation to PancakeSwap
- Triggers when either the curve is fully distributed (~79%) or the reserve reaches 18 HOOD.
- On graduation:
- 1% of supply is transferred to staking and registered as token rewards.
- 20% of supply plus ALL HOOD reserve are added as liquidity on PancakeSwap V2.
- LP tokens are sent to the burn address (permanently locked).
- Bondingâcurve trading pauses permanently.
- What happens after graduation? Your token becomes a regular ERC-20 token tradable on PancakeSwap with permanent liquidity.
- Can I still trade? Yes, but only on PancakeSwap DEX - the bonding curve closes forever.
- How long does graduation take? Depends on token popularity - from hours to weeks. Popular tokens graduate faster.
Staking rewards (HOOD MEMES)
- Stake HOOD MEMES to earn two streams:
- HOOD from 10% of all memeâtoken trading fees (distributed over time; rate updates as funds arrive).
- Graduated tokens: 1% of each tokenâs supply is delivered to staking on graduation and streamed over ~30 days.
- Rewards are proportional to your stake and time staked.
- Default minimum stake: 1000 HOOD MEMES (creator/owner can update).
Safety and admin
- Only the platform guardian can pause/unpause trading. Creators/owners cannot pause trading.
- Reserves used for the bonding curve cannot be withdrawn by the creator or owner; they are either used for trades or added to LP on graduation.
- Treasury and Staker fee HOOD auto-push on each trade. If a push is missed, anyone can manually flush via the tokenâs âClaim Treasury and Stakersâ function; the deployer can also batch-trigger flushes via the factory.
- Creators can add addresses to the launch whitelist during the launch window.
- Creators can claim their accrued creatorâfee HOOD at any time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to create a token?
Token creation is free - you only pay gas fees for the transaction.
How long does it take for a token to graduate?
Graduation happens when the token reaches 18 HOOD in market cap. This can take minutes, hours, or days depending on community interest and marketing efforts.
What's the difference between MetaMask and custodial wallets?
MetaMask gives you full control of your funds and private keys. Custodial wallets are managed by the platform for easier access.
What are the risks of investing in meme tokens?
Meme tokens are highly volatile and speculative. You can lose your entire investment. Only invest what you can afford to lose, and do your own research.
How do anti-bot measures work?
The platform enforces a 4% maximum wallet limit to prevent bot manipulation during the launch phase.
When do creators earn fees?
Creators earn 30% of their token's trading fees after graduation. During the bonding curve phase, they can claim accumulated fees at any time.
How do referrals work?
Earn 0.2% of every buy made by users who sign up with your referral link.
Where can I get support?
Check our documentation, join our community channels, or contact support through the platform interface.
