Core Features of LaunchFun

LaunchFun is designed as a lifecycle-native launchpad, where each feature addresses a specific structural failure in existing token launch systems. Rather than optimizing for speed, speculation, or throughput, LaunchFun introduces mechanisms that emphasize fairness, accountability, adaptation, and long-term coordination.

Each feature operates independently, yet composes into a coherent system governing how tokens are created, distributed, evolve, and—if necessary—transform.

1. Delayed Reality Launch (DRL)

Purpose

To eliminate speed-based exploitation and bot dominance during token launches.

Description

Delayed Reality Launch decouples token creation from tradability. Upon deployment, a token exists on-chain but is not immediately tradable. A randomized delay window—typically ranging from several minutes—is enforced before trading is enabled.

During this delay:

  • No liquidity pool is accessible

  • No price exists

  • No buy or sell execution is possible

Impact

Because there is no actionable market during the delay, automated sniping strategies lose effectiveness. Participants are forced to evaluate the launch without price signals, shifting early attention from reflexive trading to informational assessment.

2. Intent Pooling and Conviction-Based Allocation

Purpose

To replace transaction speed with expressed belief as the primary allocation determinant.

Description

Instead of placing buy orders, participants submit intent declarations. These declarations may include:

  • Conviction strength

  • Willingness to accept lockups

  • Tolerance for execution variance

  • Time preference signals

When trading activates, the protocol aggregates all intents and allocates tokens proportionally based on conviction-weighted formulas rather than order of arrival.

Impact

This mechanism neutralizes MEV advantages and encourages participants to signal genuine alignment rather than compete for execution priority.

3. Multi-Phase Bonding Curve (MPBC)

Purpose

To ensure that token price dynamics evolve with the maturity of the community.

Description

LaunchFun replaces static bonding curves with a phased curve controller that adapts based on on-chain metrics. Typical phases include:

  • Early-stage protection with flat or anti-whale pricing

  • Growth-stage acceleration as participation broadens

  • Stabilization through dampened volatility

  • Contraction through liquidity compression during low activity

Curve transitions are automated and based on measurable conditions such as holder count, volume persistence, and distribution symmetry.

Impact

Early participants are protected, late participants are not penalized unfairly, and extreme volatility is reduced as tokens mature.

4. Creator Reputation DNA

Purpose

To introduce long-term accountability without identity verification.

Description

Each creator address accumulates a persistent reputation profile, referred to as Launch DNA, which records:

  • Survival duration of previous launches

  • Holder retention metrics

  • Historical sell behavior

  • Community feedback signals

This reputation directly influences the conditions under which future tokens can be launched by the same creator.

Impact

Creators are incentivized to act in alignment with their communities, as exploitative behavior increases friction in future launches.

5. Semantic Anti-Copy Protection

Purpose

To reduce confusion-based scams and brand impersonation.

Description

Before a token is launched, its metadata (name, description, narrative framing) is analyzed using semantic similarity techniques. The system detects overlap with existing tokens beyond simple ticker matching.

Tokens deemed highly similar may face:

  • Reduced launch speed

  • Increased friction in curve parameters

  • Visibility warnings for participants

Impact

This discourages low-effort copycat launches while preserving permissionless access to token creation.

6. Consensus Unlock Framework

Purpose

To ensure that advanced token capabilities emerge only through collective agreement.

Description

Tokens initially launch with minimal functionality. Advanced features—such as staking, governance, minting extensions, or revenue hooks—are gated behind consensus thresholds measured by:

  • Holder participation

  • Time-weighted voting

  • Distribution balance

Impact

Utility is not promised upfront. Instead, it emerges as a consequence of sustained coordination and belief.

7. Soft-Death and Stasis Mode

Purpose

To reduce waste and allow failed experiments to transform rather than vanish.

Description

When activity falls below protocol-defined thresholds, tokens may enter Stasis Mode:

  • Trading is paused

  • Liquidity is preserved

  • No forced liquidation occurs

Communities can later choose to revive, merge, or restructure the token under new parameters.

Impact

This mechanism preserves social capital and enables iterative experimentation without permanent loss.

8. Revival and Merge Mechanics

Purpose

To create a token afterlife economy.

Description

Tokens in stasis can undergo:

  • Relaunches with adjusted curves

  • Merges with other stasis tokens

  • Supply burns with value redistribution

These actions require community coordination and consensus.

Impact

Failure becomes a transition state, encouraging experimentation without total reset.

9. Narrative-Driven Launch Templates

Purpose

To align economic mechanics with contextual intent.

Description

Creators select narrative templates—such as meme, utility, DAO, or experimental—that parameterize:

  • Curve steepness

  • Lock expectations

  • Emission behavior

  • Consensus thresholds

Impact

Launch mechanics adapt to intent, avoiding one-size-fits-all economics.

10. Optional AI Decision-Support Layer

Purpose

To provide analytical context without predictive authority.

Description

An optional AI layer analyzes behavioral and social signals, offering:

  • Bot participation likelihood

  • Distribution evolution projections

  • Narrative decay indicators

  • Engagement entropy metrics

The AI does not execute trades, predict prices, or provide advice.

Impact

Participants gain situational awareness without surrendering agency.

11. Lifecycle-Native Architecture

Purpose

To unify all features under a coherent evolutionary model.

Description

Every LaunchFun token progresses through identifiable lifecycle stages, governed by shared metrics and transition rules. These stages determine:

  • Economic parameters

  • Feature availability

  • Recovery or evolution paths

Impact

Tokens are no longer isolated events but ongoing processes with memory and structure.
