How Ethics Launch works
Ethics helps you launch a token with a fixed supply, locked liquidity, and transparent fees — on Solana or on EVM. Every launch starts around $5,000 market cap. You keep 70% of trading fees; Ethics keeps 30%.
Use Launch in the header for a Solana DBC curve backed by any market (/launchmet), Instant DAMM v2 at /launchv2, or /launchevm for Robinhood, BNB, Base, HyperEVM, and Arbitrum. HYPE has its own board at /hype and launcher at /hypelaunch (Solana DBC or LaunchLab HYPE pairs, or any HyperEVM factory launch). Zcash has its own board at /zcash and launcher at /zeclaunch (DBC, Instant DAMMv2, or LaunchLab paired with ZEC). NEAR has its own board at /near and launcher at /nearlaunch (DBC, LaunchLab, Spot, Orca, or Instant DAMMv2 paired with NEAR). Base has its own board at /base and launcher at /baselaunch (Uniswap v4 factory only). Robinhood has its own board at /robinhood and launcher at /rhlaunch (Uniswap v4 factory only). BNB has its own board at /bnb and launcher at /bnblaunch (Pancake V3 factory only). Arbitrum has its own board at /arbitrum and launcher at /arblaunch (Uniswap v4 factory only). Arc has its own board at /arc and launcher at /arclaunch (Uniswap v4 factory only; native USDC or ERC-20 USDC).
Pick a path
Four ways to launch. Same idea everywhere: your token goes live with liquidity that cannot be pulled.
Solana · Any market
DBC curve, any quote
Header Launch at /launchmet. Pair with SOL, stables, metals, xStocks, Backpack, Hylo, memes, or sports. Meteora DBC 0.2.1 — Token-2022 quotes need a DBC token badge.
Solana · Instant
Live from day one
Primary Solana flow at /launchv2. One pool on Meteora DAMM v2, trading right away, liquidity locked for good.
EVM
Robinhood · BNB · Base · HyperEVM · Arbitrum
At /launchevm. Connect an EVM wallet, pick a chain and quote, then launch. Liquidity locks as an NFT you can collect fees from.
Solana · Classic
Curve or Spot
Still on /launch. Bonding curve for the nine Standard quotes, or Raydium Spot for RWA-style quotes. Stock DBC lives on /launchmet, not here.
Launch on EVM
Same economics as Solana Instant: 1,000,000,000 supply, about $5k start, 1% pool fee, locked LP, 70/30 fee split. The Ethics factory creates your token, opens the pool, and locks liquidity — you never hold the LP NFT yourself.
- Robinhood: pick your pool type at launch. Ethics fees opens a Uniswap v4 pool on an immutable fee hook — no LP fee, and the hook takes 1% per trade in one of three modes: Creator (70/30 you/Ethics), Rewards (90% to the holder rewards vault, 10% Ethics), or Burn (1% of your token burned). Standard Uniswap v4 is hookless with a 1% LP fee split 70/30. Official RH stock quotes with Chainlink feeds stay first-class, and older Ethics fee-hook pools and legacy Sushi stay claimable.
- BNB: trades on PancakeSwap V3. Use BNB, stables, or bStock quotes.
- Base: Uniswap v4, with the token minted as Coinbase B20. Quotes are WETH or USDC.
- HyperEVM: Hyperswap V3 with WHYPE or USDC. Launches need HyperEVM big blocks (~6M gas; about one confirmation per minute). Enable them in the launch flow before you confirm.
- Arbitrum: Uniswap v4 with a standard EthicsToken (CREATE2 vanity …333). Quotes are WETH, USDC, ARB, or Reality rTokens.
After launch, claim creator fees from the token page anytime. Older BNB Sushi and Robinhood Sushi launches stay claimable.
Launch Instant on Solana
Walk through Program → Quote → Token → Links → Review. One wallet approval sends a small prefund (~~0.10 SOL SOL). Ethics then mints your token, opens the pool, and locks liquidity for you.
- Choose a quote: SOL, stables, SANA, xStocks, Backpack, Prestocks, Hylo, or look up a custom mint.
- Optional: buy a little of your token right after the pool goes live.
- Standard fees default to 1% (quote only). You take 70%; Ethics takes 30%.
Standard or Rewards
Classic Create at /launch and any-market DBC at /launchmet are Standard only (70/30). New Rewards launches are Instant on /launchv2. EVM launches always use the Standard split.
Standard
You collect fees
Pool fee depends on venue (curve 1.5%, Spot 1%, Instant 1%, EVM 1%). You keep 70% and claim whenever you like from Profile or the token page.
Rewards
Holders get paid every 2 hours
Create new Rewards pools on Instant (2% fee). Holders receive 90%; Ethics keeps 10%. The holder share airdrops every 2 hours — you don't collect that part. Existing Rewards Curve / Spot mints keep airdropping on Rewards.
Launch a token backed by any market
Open /launchmet. This is a Standard DBC curve (1.5% fee, 70/30 split, about $3k → $27k). Tabs match Instant: Normal, Stablecoins, Metals, xStocks, Backpack, Hylo, Memes, Sports. Token-2022 stocks need a Meteora DBC token badge and zero transfer fee — that badge is not the Instant DAMM v2 badge. PreStocks, PAXG, USDG, PYUSD, and unpriced sports quotes stay Instant-only.
Set fee recipient to a wallet you control. Ethics already receives the partner share from the pool config; using the Ethics fee address as creator will fail launchpad cosign.
Classic Solana Create
Prefer the nine Standard quotes or an RWA Spot pool? Open /launch.
Bonding curve
Price finds itself
Trade on a Meteora curve first (~$3k open → ~$27k graduate). Liquidity locks when the pool graduates. Standard fee 1.5%. Classic Normal quotes: SOL, USDC, USDT, HYPE, WBTC, WETH, TAO, ZEC, SKR. USD1, SANA, stocks, and extra stables are on /launchmet.
Spot CLMM
RWA-style quotes
For quotes like PYUSD, USDG, xStocks, and Backpack. Prefund about ~0.45 SOL SOL; Ethics builds the Raydium pool and locks it with Burn & Earn.
After you launch
- Your token shows up on Launches and on its token page — trade, share the link, and track fees.
- Standard creators: Collect (Solana) or claim fees (EVM) whenever fees have built up.
- Rewards launches: holders get automatic airdrops; check the Rewards page for history.
- If an Instant or Spot run pauses mid-way, reopen Create — it resumes from the last saved step.
Good to know
Ethics Launch helps you create and trade tokens — it isn't investment advice. Double-check addresses before you buy or create. Name, ticker, and metadata can't be changed after launch. Profile → My launches lists Ethics launches for your wallet. Solana runs on Meteora and Raydium; EVM runs on Uniswap v4, Pancake, Hyperswap, and legacy Sushi — with Ethics' own factory and locker in the middle.
