Overview
LaunchHub is a launchpad that builds launchpads. Instead of shipping a single token, you configure a full onchain launchpad β its token, its fees, what its coins trade against, and how it looks β and LaunchHub compiles the contract, deploys it to the chain you choose, and publishes a live site for it on its own subdomain.
The whole network runs on one shared asset, $HUB. Every launchpad built here, and every coin those launchpads mint, routes a small fixed fee into buying $HUB off the open market and burning it. As the network grows, $HUB supply only ever shrinks. That's the design in one sentence.
LaunchHub is non-custodial: it never holds your token or your users' funds. It deploys contracts you own and routes fees to addresses you set. What you configure in the builder is exactly what ships onchain.
How it works
There are three layers, stacked:
1 Β· The protocol ($HUB)
At the base sits the LaunchHub factory and the $HUB token. The factory is what turns your settings into a deployable contract, and it welds two fixed fees onto everything it produces β both feeding $HUB buyback & burn (see Protocol fees).
2 Β· Your launchpad
The launchpad is the token you create in the builder β its name, ticker, supply, swap tax, pairing, and branding. It's an ERC-20-style token with a bonding curve and fee-routing baked in, plus the rules for any coins launched on top of it.
3 Β· Coins launched on your launchpad
Other people (or you) can then mint coins on your launchpad. Each of those coins inherits the per-coin fee policy you set β a cut you earn on every one of them β while also paying the protocol's fixed $HUB burn. One launchpad can spin up thousands of coins, and every one keeps paying into both you and $HUB.
Deploy pipeline. When you hit deploy, LaunchHub compiles the contract, runs static analysis, estimates gas, broadcasts the transaction, waits for confirmations, verifies the source on the explorer, initializes the bonding curve, seeds vault liquidity, wires the flywheel hooks, registers your coin-fee policy, and provisions your subdomain. Start to finish it takes a few minutes.
The flywheel
LaunchHub never mints new $HUB to reward anyone β it does the opposite. Fees are used to buy $HUB on the open market and send it to a burn address it can never leave. Two fees feed that engine and neither can be switched off:
- Deploy fee β 1% of what a launchpad raises at deploy is swapped for $HUB and burned.
- Per-coin fee β 1% of trading volume on every coin launched on any launchpad, for the life of that coin, is swapped for $HUB and burned.
Because burns are permanent, circulating supply only falls. As more launchpads deploy and more coins trade, buy pressure on $HUB rises while supply shrinks β more launchpads β more coins β more volume β more burned β repeat. That compounding loop is the entire thesis.
Worked example. Say $5,000,000 flows through launches in a week. If deploys raise ~$2M, the 1% deploy fee buys & burns ~$20,000 of $HUB. If coins trade ~$3M, the 1% per-coin fee buys & burns ~$30,000. That's ~$50,000 of $HUB gone forever, in a single week.
Chains & ARC
You pick the chain per launchpad in the first step of the builder. Supported today:
| Chain | Notes |
|---|
| Solana | Highest throughput, lowest fees β the default for high-frequency memecoin launches. |
| Robinhood | Robinhood Chain β native home for tokenized stocks and any-asset quoting. |
| BNB Chain | Deep liquidity and a large retail base. |
| Ethereum | Maximum security and composability; higher gas. |
| Base | Low-fee Ethereum L2 with fast-growing onchain activity. |
| ARC soon | Mainnet goes live tomorrow. The ARC option unlocks in the builder the moment it does β configs you set now carry straight over. |
Gas for deployment is paid in $HUB regardless of chain. Each launchpad lives on exactly one chain; to run on several, deploy one per chain.
Quickstart
The builder walks you through seven steps and writes the contract live as you go β nothing touches the chain until you review and deploy.
- 1 Β· Chain β choose where the launchpad and its coins live.
- 2 Β· Identity β set the name, ticker, and max supply of your launchpad token.
- 3 Β· Fees β set the swap tax on your token and split it across buyback & burn, creator wallet, vault, and dev fund.
- 4 Β· Coin fees β set the fee every coin launched on your launchpad pays, and where your cut goes.
- 5 Β· Pairing β choose the quote asset, or paste any contract address.
- 6 Β· Branding β pick the accent, theme, glyph, and tagline for your site.
- 7 Β· Review & deploy β confirm the generated contract and ship it.
Launchpad fees
This is the swap tax charged on trades of your own launchpad token. You choose the rate β anywhere from 0% to 15% β and then decide where every basis point of it goes. The four destinations must add up to 100% of the collected tax:
| Route | What it does |
|---|
| π₯ Buyback & burn | Uses the cut to buy your own token off the market and burn it β deflation on your token. |
| π Creator wallet | Streams to a dev/creator wallet address you set β your take from your own token's volume. |
| π¦ Token vault | Builds protocol-owned liquidity for your token, deepening its market. |
| β₯ GitHub / dev fund | Routes to a repo/dev fund you name, to pay for ongoing development. |
The builder shows a live bar of the split and won't let you deploy until it totals 100%. These percentages are written into the contract at deploy time.
Coin fees
This is the fee you as the launchpad creator charge on every coin someone launches on your launchpad. It's what turns a launchpad into a recurring business rather than a one-off token. You set the rate (0β10%) and split it three ways:
| Route | What it does |
|---|
| π₯ Burn the coin | Applies deflation to each coin launched on your pad, making them more attractive to launch. |
| π Your creator wallet | You earn a cut of every coin your ecosystem produces β the core revenue line. |
| π¦ Launchpad vault | Pools shared liquidity across your ecosystem's coins. |
On top of whatever you set, the protocol always takes a fixed 1% per coin β $HUB buyback & burn. That part is separate from your fee and can't be edited.
Fee summary
Every fee on the network, in one place:
| Fee | Amount | Goes to | Editable? |
|---|
| Launchpad swap tax | 0β15% | Burn / creator / vault / dev fund (your split) | Set by you at deploy |
| Coin fee (coins launched on your pad) | 0β10% | Burn coin / your wallet / vault (your split) | Set by you at deploy |
| $HUB deploy fee | 1% | Buyback & burn $HUB | No β protocol-fixed |
| $HUB per-coin fee | 1% | Buyback & burn $HUB | No β protocol-fixed |
Pairing
The pairing (or quote) asset is what coins on your launchpad trade against. Paste any contract address β EVM 0xβ¦ or a Solana mint β to pair to any token instantly with no listing step, or choose from four curated boards:
- Onchain coins β majors, stables, and the full memecoin roster (SOL, ETH, BONK, WIF, PONS, BONER and more).
- Tokenized stocks β the Robinhood-Chain-style universe: megacaps, semis, software, financials, ETFs, China ADRs, and tokenized privates like OpenAI, SpaceX, Anthropic and xAI β modeled on par.family's any-asset-as-quote approach.
- Collectibles β CS2 skins, graded PokΓ©mon and sports cards, watches, sneakers, and blue-chip NFTs.
- Commodities β the entire board across grains, livestock & dairy, softs, energy, precious and industrial metals, rare earths, fertilizers, fibers, and environmental markets β from live cattle and Class III milk to WTI crude, uranium, neodymium, and the California water index.
Leverage (coming soon)
A leverage board is on the way. Once it ships, any launchpad β and any coin launched on it β will be pairable to any asset with up to 10Γ leverage, long or short, fully onchain. The tab is already visible in the builder's pairing step, marked soon, so you can see where it'll live.
Protocol fees
The two flywheel fees are the price of using LaunchHub. They're hardcoded into every generated contract as immutable constants and cannot be turned off, lowered, or routed anywhere but the $HUB burn:
| Constant | Value | Trigger |
|---|
HUB_DEPLOY_FEE_BPS | 100 bps (1%) | On launchpad deploy β buyback & burn $HUB |
HUB_PERCOIN_FEE_BPS | 100 bps (1%) | On every coin launched β buyback & burn $HUB |
They sit entirely outside your own fees, so setting your swap tax to 0% still leaves the protocol fees intact. This is what gives $HUB value independent of any single launchpad.
$HUB tokenomics
$HUB is the network's shared asset and its only fee sink. It has a fixed supply and no mint function β new $HUB is never created for rewards, incentives, or treasury. Its supply is only ever reduced, through the two protocol burns above.
- Supply β fixed at genesis; no inflation, ever.
- Sinks β every deploy and every coin trade permanently removes $HUB from circulation.
- Utility β gas for deployment is paid in $HUB, and it's the asset the whole flywheel accrues to.
The value proposition is simple: the more the network is used, the less $HUB exists.
Branding & sites
Every launchpad ships with its own standalone website, generated at deploy and served at your-name.launchhub.fun. You control its look in the builder:
- Accent β a brand color used across the site's highlights, buttons, and chart.
- Theme β Midnight, Aurora, Graphite, or Daylight base palettes.
- Glyph & tagline β the logo mark and one-line pitch shown in the hero.
The generated site is fully self-contained HTML β hero, token stats, fee breakdown, flywheel panel, price chart, and contract details. When you deploy, a browser window opens with the live site and you can copy its entire HTML source.
Security
A few things worth knowing about how the contracts behave:
- Non-custodial β LaunchHub never takes custody of your token or users' funds; contracts are deployed to your ownership.
- Verified source β every contract is verified on the chain's explorer as part of the deploy pipeline, so anyone can read exactly what shipped.
- Immutable protocol fees β the $HUB fees are constants, not admin-settable values, so they can't be rug-changed later.
- Static analysis β each build runs automated checks (reentrancy guards, fee-routing invariants) before broadcast.
Glossary
- Launchpad β the token and configuration you create here; the thing that launches coins.
- Coin β a token minted on top of a launchpad, subject to that launchpad's coin-fee policy.
- Quote / pair asset β what coins on a launchpad trade against.
- Swap tax β the percentage fee charged on trades of your launchpad token.
- Buyback & burn β using fees to buy a token off the market and permanently destroy it.
- Vault β protocol-owned liquidity that deepens a token's market.
- bps β basis points; 100 bps = 1%.
- $HUB β the network's shared, deflationary asset that all fees burn into.
FAQ
How much does it cost to deploy a launchpad?
There's no subscription. You pay chain gas (denominated in $HUB) plus the protocol's fixed 1% deploy fee on what the launch raises. That's it.
Do I need to hold $HUB to launch?
Gas for deployment is paid in $HUB, so you'll need a small amount to cover it. You don't need a large position to launch.
What's the difference between launchpad fees and coin fees?
Launchpad fees are the swap tax on your own launchpad token. Coin fees are what you charge on every coin other people launch on your launchpad β your recurring revenue stream.
How and when do I get paid as the creator?
Any percentage you route to your creator wallet streams to the address you set as trades happen β both on your own token and on every coin launched on your pad.
Can I change the fees after deploying?
The rates and routing you choose are written into the contract at deploy. In this version the configuration is fixed once shipped, and the protocol $HUB fees are permanently immutable.
Do coins launched on my launchpad also pay $HUB fees?
Yes. Every coin pays the fixed 1% per-coin $HUB burn on top of whatever coin fee you set β so your ecosystem feeds both you and the flywheel.
Can I turn off the $HUB fees?
No. The 1% deploy fee and the 1% per-coin fee are protocol-enforced constants and cannot be edited, lowered, or disabled.
Can I launch on more than one chain?
Yes β each launchpad lives on a single chain, so deploy one per chain. ARC becomes selectable the moment its mainnet is live.
Can I pair to an asset that isn't in the lists?
Yes. Paste any contract address in the pairing step (EVM or Solana mint) and your launchpad quotes coins against it directly β no listing needed.
What's the maximum swap tax I can set?
15%. You can also set it as low as 0% β the protocol $HUB fees still apply either way.
What happens when ARC goes live?
The ARC option unlocks in the builder's chain step. Any configuration you've set carries straight over, so you can deploy the moment mainnet opens.
