What is Launchpad?
TickerTerminal Launchpad is a decentralized ticker launch platform built on HyperEVM that democratizes access to spot market listings on HyperCore
Overview
Launchpad empowers anyone to create, launch, and trade tickers with instant liquidity and a direct pathway to listing on HyperCore's spot market. By leveraging an automated bonding curve mechanism, the platform eliminates the need for traditional presales, team allocations, and manual liquidity provision.
Core Philosophy
Fair Launch for Everyone
No Presales: Everyone buys from the same bonding curve
No Team Allocations: Creators don't get special privileges or token allocations
Transparent Pricing: Bonding curve formula ensures predictable and fair price discovery
Permissionless: Anyone can create and launch a ticker without approval
Instant Liquidity
No Waiting : Trade immediately after ticker initialization
Always Available: Bonding curve provides continuous liquidity
No Slippage Surprises: Exact output model shows you exactly what you'll get
Path to Success
HyperCore Listing: Bonded tickers are auctioned for spot market listing
AMM Fallback: Tickers can migrate to HyperSwap V2 if listing requirements are not met
Progressive Stages: Distinct bonding targets to successfully migrate into HyperCore
Key Platform Features
Bonding Curve Mechanism
The platform uses a mathematical bonding curve that automatically adjusts tokens prices based on supply and demand:
Price Increases: As more tokens are bought, price goes up
Price Decreases: As tokens are sold, price goes down
Formula:
amountOut = (amountIn × virtualReserve1) / (amountIn + virtualReserve0)Virtual Reserves: Start with 1B tokens and 666 HYPE for smooth pricing
Ticker Lifecycle
Every ticker follows a clear lifecycle:
Registration: Ticker created through Factory contract
Initialization: Admin sets up bonding curve parameters
Trading: Users buy/sell through bonding curve
Bonding: Target HYPE amount reached
Auction/Migration: Listed on HyperCore or migrated to AMM
Security Features
Transfer Restrictions: Tickers can only be traded through approved contracts during bonding phase
Automatic Refunds: Excess HYPE automatically returned on purchases
Transparent Fees: All fees clearly displayed before transactions
