Costs & fees

Graduation & locked LP

What happens when the bonding curve fills and trading moves to Uniswap.

At a glance

Graduation moves curve liquidity into locked Uniswap liquidity. Trading continues on the DEX. Creators keep claiming fees — not the locked pool itself.

Quick tip

Watch the progress bar on the token card. Near 100%, graduation can complete and the status switches from bonding to graduated.

Each launch targets about ~$35k fully diluted value on the curve. When enough ETH has been bought into the curve (after fees), the token can graduate.

What you will notice

  1. Progress on the board / token page approaches the graduation target.
  2. Graduation finishes and status changes to graduated.
  3. Buy/sell switches from the bonding curve to Uniswap (Simple = V3, Advanced = V4).
  4. Creators claim LP trading fees from the token page; the pool liquidity stays locked.

Why locked LP matters

Locked liquidity means the graduation pool cannot be yanked by the creator through normal Load claim flows. That reduces a common rug pattern. It does not make the token “safe” as an investment — price can still go to zero.

Anti-snipe at open

For the first 90 seconds after launch (when enabled), each non-creator wallet is limited to roughly 0.103 ETH per buy. Creators are exempt. This is a size limit, not an extra fee.
