how inkcoming works

docs

what happens when you launch or trade a coin here, where the fees go, and the contracts behind it. all of it is on chain, so you can check it yourself.

launching a coin

pick a name, a ticker and an image, and launch in one transaction. the coin opens straight into a uniswap pool on ink at a fixed starting market cap of 1.5 ETH. there is no bonding curve and nothing to graduate from: it trades on a real pool from the first block.

liquidity is locked forever at launch. nobody can pull it, including us.
the contracts are immutable. no mint, no pause, no blacklist, no transfer tax.
the launch fee is 0.0002 ETH. you can add a dev buy in the same transaction.
with the moon curve on, the launch liquidity is laid out as a ladder of seven bands instead of one full-range position.

fees

every trade pays a pool fee, 1% by default. 75% of it belongs to the coin's creator and 25% to inkcoming. on uniswap v4 coins a creator can take a smaller cut at launch, down to a 0.25% fee that is all inkcoming's.

the creator decides at launch where their share goes:

to them, paid out in ETH.
buyback: it buys the coin back and burns it.
to holders: paid out automatically to the people holding the coin, weighted by how much they hold and for how long. nothing to stake or claim.
to liquidity: back to the pool (uniswap v4 coins).

the creator can switch once. after that it is fixed on chain. whatever the mode, the coin side of every fee collection is burned, so supply only goes down.

anti-snipe

for the first 30 minutes after a pool opens, no single buy can be larger than 2% of the starting market cap. it applies to buys only. selling is never restricted, not during the window and not after it. after 30 minutes the limit is gone.

a creator can also add a launch fee that fades out over that window, or a surcharge on very large buys. whatever a coin has is shown on its page, and the hook's settings for every pool can be read on chain.

paired markets

a coin can open up to five pools at once, each priced against something different: ETH, USDG, or wrapped tokenized stocks such as NVDA, TSLA and AAPL. the supply is split evenly across them. when you sell, you can split the sale across every pool in one transaction.

nft-404

a coin and an NFT collection in the same contract. hold enough of the token and an NFT mints to you; sell below it and the NFT burns.

on INK404, holding one whole NFT earns you a share of every trade: 50% of the creator's fee goes to NFT holders, counted by time held. nothing is staked and your NFTs stay sellable the whole time. when you claim, you pick what arrives: ETH, USDG, or one of eight tokenized stocks.

bridge

the bridge moves ETH between ink and ethereum, base or robinhood, in either direction, through relay. it is one transaction and usually takes about a second. you keep custody the whole time: relay's solvers deliver to the same address on the other side. smart-contract wallets are blocked, because the same address on another chain is usually not the same owner.
