Term	Meaning
Bonding curve	The early trading phase. Price moves as people buy and sell against the curve until graduation.
Graduation	When the curve target fills and liquidity moves into a Uniswap pool so trading continues there.
Locked LP	Liquidity that stays in the pool after graduation and cannot be pulled as a rug through normal claim flows. Creators claim fees, not the pool base.
Simple (V3)	Default launch. Curve first, then locked Uniswap V3. No creator buy/sell tax after graduation.
Advanced (V4)	Same fair curve first, then Uniswap V4 with your chosen buy/sell tax split.
FDV	Fully diluted value — rough market value if all tokens were priced like the current trade. Used for graduation targeting (~$35k).
Anti-snipe	Optional first-90-seconds buy size cap for non-creators so opens are harder to snipe.
Slippage	How much worse than the quote you will accept. Too tight = failed txs; too loose = more price move allowed.
Bridge	Moving ETH from another chain (usually Ethereum) onto Robinhood Chain so you can use Load.
Non-custodial	You keep your keys. Load never holds your seed phrase or private keys.
Vanity address (…10AD)	Load token contracts end in 10AD. Create may take longer and use more gas while that ending is found.
Collect Fees	Button on your token page (as creator) to send earned fees to your wallet.
Board	The main grid of tokens on load.fun.
Spotlight / Top Volume	Highlight rows that surface featured or high-volume tokens for quick open.
