How an Elpida launch works
A token goes from one transaction to a locked exchange pool in five steps. Elpida currently runs on testnets.
Pick a network and a trading pair
Choose where the token lives (Base Sepolia, Ethereum Sepolia, BNB Chain Testnet, Robinhood Chain Testnet and Solana Devnet) and what buyers pay with: the native coin or USDC, plus approved pairs where available.
Describe the token and set rewards
Add a name, symbol, image and links. Metadata is written once in the launch transaction. Creators choose where their share of trading fees goes.
Launch in one transaction
Pay the $10 launch fee (native coin at the on-chain price, or 10 USDC). A creator can make an optional first buy in the same transaction, charged only the base fee and shown publicly as "Dev" on the token page.
Trade on the bonding curve
The token starts at a $5,000 fully diluted value. Price rises with each buy and falls with each sell along a fixed curve that finishes at $50,000. On testnets the sizes are scaled down to $50 and $500 with the same shape.
Graduate to a decentralized exchange
When the supply for sale is gone, liquidity moves to Uniswap v3 on EVM networks or Raydium (SOL pairs) and PumpSwap on Solana, with the position locked permanently.
Why a bonding curve
A bonding curve prices a token automatically from how much has been bought, so there is always a price and always a buyer or seller on the other side while the curve is open. Elpida uses one fixed shape for every token, so the rules are the same for everyone.
Which networks
Elpida runs on Base Sepolia, Ethereum Sepolia, BNB Chain Testnet, Robinhood Chain Testnet and Solana Devnet, plus a local simulation. Each network launches natively, and the graduated pool uses that network's main decentralized exchange.
