How it works.

The basics

• Every launch is a fixed 69,000,000,000 (69B) supply token. No presale, no mint function, no unlocks. A creator may buy a first bag in the same transaction as the launch — capped at 20% of supply, bought with their own money at the opening price, and labelled dev — initial buy in the holders list on the token page.
• The whole supply goes into a Uniswap V4 pool as single-sided liquidity, owned by a locker contract with no withdraw path. Nobody, including us, can pull the liquidity.
• Every pool charges a 1% swap fee. That fee is the only thing anyone earns, and the sections below say exactly where each part of it goes.
• Every launch starts with an anti-snipe launch tax that decays to zero over a window the creator sets — 265 blocks by default, about 2.3 min on Arc Testnet. Where it goes depends on which product you are looking at: on a twin it is paid to the protocol treasury, never to the creator; on a token launch it is routed through the creator's own frozen fee splits, exactly like the trading tax — so it can be burned, reflected to holders, added to liquidity or taken by the creator, according to the split they chose and published at launch. Either way it is disclosed before anyone trades. The creator's own first buy is the one exception to the tax itself: it rides in the same transaction as the launch, so there is no queue for it to jump, and taxing it would take most of the liquidity they are adding. Every later buy, theirs included, pays the tax like anyone else's.
• Chad Levels are earned tiers, never lost. Tokens climb on price multiples from launch (L1 at 5× up to L8 at 100,000×).

For traders

• The buy/sell panel quotes through the same hook the swap runs through, so the quote and the execution agree to the wei. You set slippage; a quote is valid for 5 minutes.
• Each token page shows its buy tax, sell tax and launch-tax window before you trade. Taxes are set by the creator at launch and frozen on-chain.
• During the launch window a per-transaction cap can reject large buys ("anti-snipe cap"). Size down or wait a few minutes.
• Holding a token whose creator set a reflection sink earns you a share of its fees, paid in that token, claimable from your Portfolio once the day's UTC epoch closes. It is opt-in per launch — the creator chooses the percentage at launch and it is frozen there — and works the same way on token launches and twins.

For creators — launching a token

• Every launch pairs against USDC. One transaction deploys the token at a 0xba5e… address, creates the pool, locks the liquidity and, if you want, makes your first buy.
• Choose the taxes: buy and sell tax up to 20% each, a launch tax that starts at up to 69% and decays over up to 7,200 blocks (~4 hours). Zero is a fine answer. All three are routed through the same splits you choose below, so a launch tax is only worth setting if you have decided where it should go.
• Choose where the money goes — Splits. Trading tax and your share of the 1% pool fee are routed on-chain across: Burn (buys the token back and burns it), Reflections (paid to holders), Auto-LP (merged into the locked position), Creator (uncapped, disclosed as its own row),Protocol, and up to three labeled splits — any wallet the creator names, with a label every trader sees. The split is frozen at launch and shown in full on the token page. Read the whole split, not just the Creator row: a labeled extra can point anywhere, including back at the creator, so no single row tells you what a creator ultimately takes. Labels are the creator's own claim about an address — nothing verifies them. There is no ceiling on the Creator row; a launch that routes little or nothing to it earns a badge on the token page, and one that takes a majority is shown just as plainly.
• There is no creation fee. Your cost is gas plus whatever first buy you make.

Fees

Everything below is enforced by the contracts listed at the bottom of this page.

Safety, and what we don't do

• Liquidity can't be pulled. The locker owns every position and has no withdraw function. Fee collection is the only thing it does.
• Supply can't be minted. 69B at launch is 69B forever; burns only go down.
• Splits are frozen at launch. What the token page shows is what the hook enforces.
• One thing is trusted: the keeper that posts reflection roots. It is a ChadPad key; it writes only data that anyone can recompute from public chain state, and claims are always bounded by what the contracts have actually received.
• We don't hold escrow, we don't back tokens with a treasury, we don't pass through dividends, and no bond is ever slashed.

Risk

There was nowhere in the chrome that said any of this (2026-09-13 UI review H11), so it is here, in one place, linked from the footer and from every page that involves a tokenized stock.

• Memecoins go to zero. Most launches on any launchpad, including this one, end up worth nothing. Nothing here is investment advice and nobody at ChadPad is managing anything on your behalf.
• A creator can set taxes up to 20% on buys and 20% on sells and route them anywhere, including a wallet they own. That is disclosed on the token page before you trade, and frozen at launch — but locked liquidity does not make a launch safe, and we do not vet creators.
• Smart contracts fail. These are unaudited. Everything is immutable once deployed, which cuts both ways: nobody can rug the liquidity, and nobody can fix a bug in a launched pool either.
• ChadPad is software, not a broker, exchange, custodian or adviser. You transact directly with public contracts from your own wallet; we never hold your funds. Check whether any of this is legal where you live — that is your call to make, not ours.
