Token Launch

The cold start of a new token is the most fragile moment in on-chain liquidity: thin initial depth, an undiscovered price, and sniper bots circling.

Built-in Launch Capability​

Catswap's launchpad is not an add-on feature; it is a built-in form of the pool protocol:

  • Token side only — the issuer opens the market without putting up paired capital;
  • Protection window — the initial time window and fee profile after launch are designed against sniping; front-runners pay significantly higher costs during the protected period;
  • Straight into the shared pool — after graduation, the token simply lives in the unified pool; spot, leverage, and derivatives capabilities apply to it immediately, with no "launch pool → migrate → rebuild" discontinuity.

Issuer Economics​

Issuers earn a continuing revenue share (creator fees) from trading activity in their own token — launch is not just a cold-start tool, but a long-term liquidity management vehicle for the token project.

Industry Comparison​

The industry-standard split model (launchpad graduation → migration to another AMM) forces new tokens through a depth cliff and a sniping window at the moment of migration. Going straight into the shared pool removes that structural gap.
