How it works

The life of a coin on Longevity.

From the payment to the graduated pool, in the order it happens. Two rules do most of the work: the creator's share of the trading fees builds up and is paid as the coin grows, so a coin lasts longer; or it goes to the holders by how long each has held, so holding pays more than flipping. Every number on this page is read from the engine's own constants.

You pay first. The coin comes later.

Name, ticker, description, image, links, the pair and the fee. Then one payment.

The launch fee is 0.25 SOL, paid from your wallet to Longevity's deployer wallet with a reference in the memo. The site checks the payment on the chain, not on a server's word, and the first correct payment wins the name.

  • A ticker or name taken by a live coin is refused. A coin is live for its first 3 days, after it graduates, or while it has traded in the last 7 days with a market cap of $30,000 or more.
  • A ticker an older coin used costs 1 SOL more. It comes back if your coin graduates within 48 hours.
  • A look-alike ticker or name, or a reused image, is allowed but flagged.
  • Nothing about a paid launch is public until the coin exists, so a name is only held once it is paid for.
  • The fee part of the launch price comes back on a clean graduation: no early buyer linked to you, no top holder at graduation funded by you, and you holding 10% of the supply or less. The on-chain cost of creating the coin is kept.
  • A payment from another wallet or for the wrong amount is sent back. If the worker cannot create the coin, your payment is refunded.

A fairer open.

Your coin is live seconds after you pay. On every launch, early bots and bundles pay 99% in the first 3 slots, so bundling the open is expensive.

  1. Live in seconds

    Your payment confirms and the worker creates the coin from Longevity's own wallet, which is how the creator's trading fees are paid on the schedule below. No waiting.

  2. A secret mint

    The coin's address is derived from a secret the worker holds. It exists nowhere until the launch transaction, so nothing can be aimed at it in advance.

  3. A 99% opening fee

    For the first 3 slots after the coin goes live, about 1.2 seconds, every buy pays a 99% opening fee. A bot or a bundle can still buy in those slots; it pays 99% to do it. After that everyone pays the coin's own fee, bundles included. The opening fee is on every launch and cannot be turned off.

  4. Your first buy is the exception

    You may buy up to 10 SOL of your own coin inside the launch transaction, as the pool's first swap, at the normal fee. It is part of the launch itself, it is paid with the launch, and it is printed on the coin page. If you make none, Longevity makes a 0.001 SOL buy itself to take that first swap, and sends what it bought to an address nobody holds the key to.

  5. Longevity's deployer signs

    The deployer wallet creates the coin, its metadata and its curve, and is the pool's creator. That is how the creator's share of the trading fees reaches Longevity first and is paid out on the schedule below.

  6. Live

    The coin is on the board the moment it trades, with its mint and its launch transaction.

One curve. Known numbers.

Every coin launches on the same curve with the same caps. Only the fee and the pair are yours to pick.

The market
Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve, a third-party program live on Solana. Buyers buy from the curve; what it has not sold at graduation becomes the pool's liquidity.
Supply
1,000,000,000 coins, fixed. A coin that picks other chains keeps 5% per picked chain out of the curve for those pools.
Opens at
$20,000 market cap. Graduates at $150,000. The caps are fixed in SOL when the curve's config is made, so the dollar figures move with SOL.
Trading fee
1 or 3%, your choice at launch. Charged on every trade on the curve and kept by the graduated pool.
Opening fee (every launch)
99% on the first 3 slots, about 1.2 seconds, then your fee. Early bots and bundles pay the opening fee; after it everyone pays the same fee. A fixed rule, not a setting.

Trading fees that grow with the coin.

Every trade pays a trading fee, and a share of it is the creator's. It builds up from the first trade and is paid as the coin grows, or, at the creator's choice, goes to the holders instead, by how long each has held.

  • Days 0 to 3Builds upThe creator's share of every trading fee builds up from the first trade. Payouts start after day 3.
  • A $50K peak25%Once the coin's highest market cap has reached $50K and day 3 has passed, the creator is paid 25% of what has built up, and is topped up to 25% as more comes in. Below that peak the share keeps building.
  • Graduation100%Everything still waiting is paid when the coin leaves its curve for its pool.
  • Top-ups6 hA payout tops the creator up to the tier's share, at most once every 6 hours. A payout too small to be worth sending waits for the next round.
  • Selling in the first 3 daysForfeitedIf the creator's wallets (the launcher plus the wallets the worker links to it by who funded them) sell more than 50% of what they bought in those days, the creator trading fees that have built up are forfeited.
  • 7 quiet daysForfeitedIf a coin has not graduated and goes 7 days without a trade, the creator trading fees still waiting are forfeited, along with any the coin earns afterwards.
  • The creator's own coinsUp to 5×The creator's wallet is a holder like any other. The coins the creator holds earn holder rewards on the same terms as any other holder's, from the same pot, and neither this schedule nor a forfeit changes that.

Every forfeit funds the Summit Bounty in full. A share of every trading fee is paid to the coin's holders, on every coin but Longevity's own, whose fees Longevity retains until it announces otherwise; Longevity retains its own share until it announces how that share is split. The schedule is run by Longevity's worker, and every coin's page prints its state: building up, paid, forfeited, the next payout. Holders are paid in SOL as often as every 10 minutes. Each round's pot is split by coins held times the multiplier for how long you have held them: 1× after 10 minutes, 2× after an hour, 3× after two hours, 4× after three hours and 5× after four hours. Coins you add later start their own clock and do not change what your older coins count for. Sell, or move coins out, and every coin the wallet holds starts over at round one: it earns no share that round, and that share goes to the wallets that stayed. What it was already owed stays owed. Coins bought since the last round count for nothing in that round, and a wallet holding less than $20 of the coin earns no share that round. A round splits its pot once the pot holds 0.05 SOL, between every wallet that qualifies; a smaller pot carries over to the next round, so a quiet coin pays less often and nothing is lost. Each round sends as many as 720 payments, to the wallets owed the most. A share that is not sent, or is too small to send, stays owed to the same wallet and is paid in a later round. A wallet with no SOL in it is paid once what it is owed reaches 0.0009 SOL, the least Solana lets a wallet hold. A creator may send their own share to the holders as well; it joins the same rounds, nothing then waits on the schedule, and the choice is final.

The full fee schedule

The curve ends. The pool opens.

At $150,000 the curve migrates into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool at the graduation price.

The pool keeps the coin's trading fee, and part of that fee compounds into the pool, so its reserves grow with volume. Meteora splits the pool's liquidity by the coin's config: the creator's half is permanently locked and earns the creator's fee share; Longevity's half is held, unlocked, in the platform wallet, so liquidity can be moved to another chain's pool when that chain opens.

Graduation also pays whatever creator trading fees are still waiting, returns the launch fee on a clean graduation, and returns the reused-ticker fee if graduation came within 48 hours.

A weekly prize for coins that climb and hold.

Every week, Monday 00:00 UTC to the next, is a round. The pool is every forfeited creator fee, in full.

  • $500K

    Peak

    Break $500K during the week and still be at $400K or more 24 hours later.

  • $1M

    Summit

    Break $1M during the week and still be at $800K or more 24 hours later.

Each tier is checked once, 24 hours after the coin first broke its line. The coin must have launched clean (no early buyer linked to the launcher). A coin wins only its highest tier in a week. Summit winners share 80% of the pool and Peak winners 20%, equally within each tier. Each winner's share goes 30% to its creator, 50% to its top 50 holders at the check (pro rata, each capped at 10% of that part, the creator's wallets left out), and 20% buys the coin in its own pool and burns it. A creator who forfeited does not stop the coin from winning: the creator's 30% then buys the coin back and burns it too, and the same goes for a coin that was taken over. A week with a winner less than 3 days old pays out once that coin's first 3 days are over. A tier with no winner leaves its part in the pool for next week.

This week's bounty

Stake the coin, multiply your holder rewards.

Every coin pays its holders from one pot, as often as every 10 minutes, by how long they have held. Staking multiplies a wallet's weight in that pot.

Each coin has a vault, a lock box of Longevity's own program, open from launch. Stake into it with the lock you choose and your weight in the holder rounds is multiplied: your unstaked coins count once, your staked coins at the lock's multiplier, on top of the multiplier for how long you have held. The stake is counted against the coins you have held longest, so coins you buy later do not lower it. A wallet with everything at a 30-day lock that has held for four hours weighs ten times a wallet with the same bag in its first paid round. No SOL goes into the vault; the rounds pay your wallet. Your coins come back when you unstake; leaving a lock early is allowed and costs a tenth of what leaves, kept for Longevity's treasury. Adding to a locked stake keeps at least its lock; a longer one upgrades the whole stake.

No lock
1× weight, unstake any time
7 days
1.5× weight, coins locked for 7 days
30 days
2× weight, coins locked for 30 days
From when
Launch. The worker creates every coin's vault within minutes of its launch, open from the start.
Leaving early
Allowed. A tenth of the coins you take out before the lock ends stays with the program for Longevity's treasury; the rest comes back at once, and what stays keeps its lock.
Your multiplier
Staking never resets your multiplier: the coins move from your wallet into the vault, and the rounds count both together.
Longevity's own coin
No vault while its fees are retained.

The holders' pot comes out of the same trading fee as the creator's and Longevity's; none of the three is printed as a percentage. The vault is a program of Longevity's own (stake_vault): the coins in it can be moved by nobody but the staker who put them there, no SOL ever sits in it, and a staked coin still counts as held for the Summit Bounty.

Move size without moving the chart.

A block trade settles between two wallets, so the pool does not print it and the price does not slip.

A maker posts an offer: this coin, this amount, this price, this counterparty, this deadline. The desk builds one transaction that moves the coins one way and the payment the other. The maker signs it first; nothing leaves either wallet until the taker signs and sends it, and then both legs settle together or not at all. Nothing is custodied. Any Solana coin can be dealt, not only coins launched here.

  • A durable nonce keeps the maker's signature alive until the deadline. Moving the nonce cancels the deal, and a filled deal cannot fill twice.
  • The deal_guard program gives the deal a hard deadline on chain: past it, the transaction fails.
  • A flat 0.3% fee on the price, taken from the seller's proceeds inside the same transaction and sent to Longevity's treasury. The buyer pays the price in full; the taker, whichever side that is, pays the network fee.
  • The taker's browser rebuilds the deal from its stated terms and refuses it if a single byte differs, so a server cannot slip in an instruction. A deal is paid in SOL or in a quote token the site accepts.
  • Mints that could break a deal are refused: transfer hooks, permanent delegates, non-transferable or pausable tokens. A freeze authority or a transfer fee is shown as a warning. A deal lives at most seven days.
  • The open book: an offer for anyone instead of one wallet. The maker's coins (a sell) or wrapped SOL (a buy) stay in the maker's own wallet, delegated to the offer for the amount; nothing is custodied. Anyone fills it in part or in full, at the fixed price per coin or at the pool's price plus the maker's offset, inside the maker's limit; each fill moves both legs in one transaction and pays the same fee. The maker cancels any time and the rent comes back; an expired offer can be closed by anyone, its rent to the maker.
Open the OTC desk

SOL, or any coin launched here.

A coin is priced in what you pair it with. Pair with another Longevity coin and its holders become yours.

Pair with SOL, or with any coin launched on Longevity, on its curve or graduated. Coins can be paired at most two deep: SOL is depth zero, a coin paired with a coin is its parent's depth plus one, and every chain of pairs must end in SOL.

  • Buying a paired coin buys the parent first, in one transaction, and selling sells back into the parent. Every leg pays its own pool's fee, so the parent's pool earns from every trade of the child.
  • Any coin launched here can be a pair, on its curve or in its pool: the raise is priced up the parent and what it would move the parent is shown before anyone pays. There is no size rule, since a pair is meant to move its parent.
  • A coin whose curve has filled but whose pool has not opened yet cannot be a pair until it does.
  • The pairing is permanent: the curve's config fixes the quote. A paired coin launches on exactly the chains its parent is on, no more and no fewer.
  • The creator's fees of a paired coin arrive in the parent and are sold down to SOL when they are claimed, so the schedule counts in SOL.
Coins you can pair with

One supply on every chain.

One shared supply, with the Solana price as the reference.

A coin that picks Base, Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain or Hyperliquid at launch keeps 5% of its supply per picked chain out of the curve; at graduation each slice opens that chain's pool at the Solana price. What lives on another chain is held in a program-owned custody on Solana and shown on the coin page, so the supply stays one supply. Vaults on each chain, filled by that coin's fees there, keep the prices in line. A per-chain pool fee is paid at launch and shown on the launch form.

Chains

  • Solana SOLOpen for launches
  • Base ETH
  • Robinhood Chain ETH
  • BNB Chain BNB
  • Hyperliquid HYPE

A chain reads as open only once its programs or contracts are deployed and configured here. Until then it is listed and nothing more.

What the page tells you, and what it cannot.

Coins are created at the request of the people who launch them. A listing, a rank or a bounty check describes activity on the chain; it is not advice. A coin can lose all of its value, and a held or locked position does not make it valuable.

  • To tell the creator's wallets apart for the fee and bounty rules, the worker reads which wallet first funded each early buyer. It links wallets to wallets, never to people, and publishes no verdict; trading terminals show bundle statistics natively.
  • Every coin page prints the fee schedule's state: held, paid, forfeited, the tier and the next payout.
  • Community takeover: when a creator abandons a coin and its holders take it over, Longevity can name the wallet the creator's fees go to from then on, under the same rules; what the old creator forfeited stays with the Summit Bounty, and the coin page says so.
  • Longevity's half of a graduated pool's liquidity is withdrawn at graduation. The creator's half is permanently locked, so everything left in the pool is locked.
  • Payments are refunded only in the cases above. A trade, a deal the taker has sent, or a launch that went live cannot be reversed by anyone.
