How Bonding Curves Work
1
Initial Price Set
Creator sets starting price (e.g., 0.0001 HYPE per token)
2
Price Increases Linearly
Each purchase incrementally increases the price for the next buyer
3
Automatic Liquidity
All HYPE raised is locked in the bonding curve contract
4
Target Achievement
Once $50K raised, automatically progresses to Funding Round
Key Benefits
Rug Pull Protection
Liquidity locked in smart contract, impossible for creators to withdraw prematurely
Fair Price Discovery
Linear curve ensures transparent pricing with no sudden jumps or manipulation
Early Supporter Rewards
First buyers get the lowest prices and highest potential upside
Immediate Liquidity
Buyers can sell back to the curve at any time (with small exit fee)
Important Considerations
- • Exit Fee: 2% fee on sells during bonding curve phase
- • No Refunds: Once target is hit, funds are locked for launch
- • Timeline: Curve closes after 30 days regardless of target
- • Minimum Buy: 10 HYPE minimum purchase to prevent spam
