how nohup works
nohup is a fair-launch token launchpad on uniswap v4. every coin is a real pool from its first transaction with full supply locked into a five-band staircase of concentrated liquidity.
overview
launching a coin creates a fixed-supply erc-20 and a native-eth uniswap v4 pool in one transaction. the entire supply is minted into a permanently locked staircase of concentrated-liquidity positions. listing image, description, and socials are committed in that same create transaction (stored on the hook, not as a tokenURI on the erc-20).
lifecycle
- launch — creator sets name, ticker, creator tax, and deepen lp tax (each 0–5%). listing image + description/socials go in the same create tx. optional dev buy in the same tx (max 0.1 eth, coin fee only — not the opening tax).
- staircase mint — the hook initializes the pool at start fdv and locks five liquidity bands covering the full supply.
- live trading — buys walk down the bands as market cap rises; sells walk back up. for 30 seconds after launch, swaps pay a decaying opening tax (80% → the coin's fee); extra above the normal split goes to locked deepen LP. then the chosen fee applies on every swap. deepen fees can be claimed into more locked full-range lp the next block after a swap.
token
each coin is a vanilla erc-20: fixed supply, no owner, no mint after init, no transfer tax, no transfer hooks, no tokenURI. the full supply is minted to the hook at create and deposited into locked staircase lp. listing image and metadata json live on the hook and can be updated by the current creator (a separate two-step transfer from the fee recipient).
| total supply | 1,000,000,000 tokens |
| lp at create | 100% locked staircase |
staircase lp
| start market cap (fdv) | 1.5 eth |
| start tick | 203200 |
| tick spacing | 200 |
| seeded ceiling | ~93k eth fdv (~62,000× start) |
| band 1 | 10% · [186800, 203200) · ~1.5 → ~7.7 eth fdv |
| band 2 | 50% · [127800, 186800) · ~7.7 → ~2.8k eth fdv |
| band 3 | 15% · [127800, 174800) · overlap mid-book |
| band 4 | 20% · [92800, 127800) · ~2.8k → ~93k eth fdv |
| band 5 | 5% · [92800, 113800) · top of seeded book |
fees
| platform fee | 0.5% (fixed) |
| creator tax | 0% – 5% (chosen at launch, step 0.25%) |
| deepen lp tax | 0% – 5% (chosen at launch, step 0.25%) |
| total swap fee | 0.5% – 10.5% after the opening window |
| opening tax | 80% → coin fee over 30s (parabola; extra → deepen LP) |
| split | three independent ledgers (platform / creator / deepen) |
both taxes are immutable after launch. the 80% opening tax is protocol-fixed and not a creator setting.
creator rewards
creator and deepen taxes accrue in separate pull-payment ledgers on the hook:
creator tax → wallet
the fee recipient calls claim (orclaimTo a different address). claimable any time creator fees have accrued.
deepen lp tax → locked liquidity
accrued deepen eth is deployed as a permanently locked, one-sided eth band below the coin's lagged price, automatically from swaps (at most once per 10 minutes, in capped slices). claimDeepen pokes it for coins with no swap flow.
platform fees accrue separately and are claimed to the protocol treasury the same way.
fair launch
- trading opens the second after launch (`block.timestamp` past `launchTime`)
- optional creator buy inside the launch transaction, capped at 0.1 ETH (~5% of supply). pays the coin's swap fee, not the opening tax
- for 30 seconds from launch, public buys and sells pay a decaying opening tax from 80% down to the coin's fee. extra above the normal split is 100% locked deepen LP
- creator and deepen taxes are immutable for the life of the coin
