Frequently Asked Questions

MegaPump is a token launchpad on MegaETH where anyone can create and trade tokens instantly. Every token starts on a bonding curve — the price rises as people buy and falls as they sell, so there is always liquidity. Once a token has raised 24 ETH on its curve, it graduates and migrates to MEGAPUMP DEX.

Yes — 100% free. There is no upfront cost for the creator. A token's ERC-20 contract is only deployed on its first purchase, and that one-time deployment cost is included transparently in the first buyer's transaction. If you create a token without buying it yourself, the first person who buys covers it.

A bonding curve is a formula that sets a token's price from its supply. As tokens are bought the price moves up the curve; as they are sold it moves down. You trade directly against the contract, so there is always instant liquidity at the current curve price — no order book and no counterparty needed.

To give the community a fair start, the first 5 blocks after a token is created are protected: no single transaction can buy more than 10% of the bonding-curve supply. This stops bots from scooping up the entire supply at launch before anyone else can participate.

Every wallet gets its own referral link the first time it connects to MegaPump. Share it — when someone who has never traded on MegaPump connects through your link, they're linked to you as their referrer. The link is set once on their first connection, only applies to genuinely new users, and you can't refer yourself. As a reward you earn a 0.1% referral fee on your referees' trades, taken out of the platform fee: the 1% platform fee splits into 0.9% for the protocol and 0.1% routed to the referrer.

When a token has raised 24 ETH on its curve, internal trading stops and the token graduates. In a single atomic transaction the contract takes all the ETH raised, pairs it with tokens, and deploys a permanent liquidity pool on MEGAPUMP DEX. The LP position is then burned — the liquidity is locked forever and can never be removed. After graduation the token trades freely on MEGAPUMP DEX.

Creating a token is free. On every buy and sell on the curve, a 1% platform fee (which includes the 0.1% referral share) and a 0.25% creator fee apply. A one-time 0.015 ETH fee is charged at graduation to cover the migration to MEGAPUMP DEX. All fees are enforced on-chain by the smart contract.

A 0.25% fee on every trade of a token goes to that token's creator. It accumulates in the contract and the creator can claim it on-chain at any time. It rewards creators for bringing and growing their community.

All trading runs on-chain through the bonding-curve contract. The contract cannot touch your funds, cannot mint extra tokens, and cannot move tokens out of your wallet. The protocol is owned by a 2-of-3 Safe multisig with deliberately limited powers: it can pause the contract in an emergency, withdraw the accrued platform fee (the 1%), and configure the graduation threshold. It has no access to user balances or trades. As with any DeFi protocol, smart-contract risk still exists — only trade what you can afford to lose.

Yes. Token trading is highly risky and prices can fall to near zero. Bonding-curve mechanics mean earlier buyers get lower prices by design — that is not a promise of profit. Only trade with money you can afford to lose.

Yes. While a token is on the curve, the contract guarantees liquidity — you can sell back to the curve at the current price at any time, with no lock-up. After graduation you trade on MEGAPUMP DEX.

At graduation the displayed market cap steps up. This is expected: on a linear bonding curve the last (marginal) price is higher than the average price paid across the curve, and the DEX price starts from that marginal price. It is a mathematical property of the curve, not a change in the token itself.

MegaPump runs on MegaETH, a high-performance chain with very low latency, so buys and sells confirm near-instantly with minimal gas.

Market cap = current token price × total supply (1B tokens). The price comes from the bonding-curve formula based on how many tokens have been sold.
