Issue tokens with a bonding curve, then trade them on the orderbook DEX after graduation. One MetaWallet, end-to-end.
Bonding curve (Phase 1)
Go to Launchpad →Anyone can buy/sell instantly after issuance. Once the bonding pool fills up, the token is automatically listed on the orderbook.
- 1
Issue token
Enter name, symbol, image and graduation threshold (10–1000 MTC), then sign once with MetaWallet. The bonding curve starts immediately.
- 2
Bonding-curve trading
Anyone can buy/sell instantly. Price is determined automatically via the constant product formula (k = x·y). As the pool grows, the price rises with it.
- 3
Graduation (automatic)
When cumulative funding reaches the target (e.g. 100 MTC) or 80% of the bonding pool is sold, graduation happens automatically (seconds to minutes).
- 4
Orderbook migration
70% of the bonding pool's MTC → bid ladder (15 levels); 200M reserve tokens → ask ladder (15 levels) — seeded automatically. Limit/market orders supported.
Graduation conditions (whichever comes first)

Frequently asked questions
How much is the gas (trading fee)?
Bonding-phase trading: 1% (creator 0.3% + platform 0.7%). Orderbook trading: standard Metacoin transaction fee (usually under 0.001 MTC).
I lost my seed phrase
Wallets cannot be restored without the seed phrase. Keep it offline (paper / hardware). Never store or share it online.
What if a bonding token never graduates?
It stays in BONDING with no time limit. If there are no trades for 90+ days it is auto-archived (ARCHIVED) and new trades are blocked.
When do creators receive their rewards?
At graduation 25% of the cumulative MTC vests over 7 days. About 25%/7 ≈ 3.57% can be claimed daily.
