The launchpads are the class of venues on Robinhood Chain that issue new tokens through a bonding-curve sale, then hand the resulting pair to a liquidity venue once the curve fills. This entry surveys the mechanism generically; individual launchpads are documented in their own entries as they are filed.
A bonding-curve launchpad sells a new token against a curve with a published pricing function: early buys are cheaper, each subsequent buy raises the price along a deterministic schedule. There is no presale allocation hidden outside the curve, by construction — the curve is the entire primary sale.
Once the curve accumulates a target amount of the paired asset, the venue triggers graduation: the curve is closed to further sales, a liquidity pool is seeded from the accumulated reserve, and trading moves to that pool (see Graduation for the mechanics of the transition itself).
Launchpads on the chain generally take a percentage fee on curve trades, split between the venue's own treasury and, in some configurations, the token's deployer. The exact split is set by each launchpad's contract and is, in principle, publicly readable — Hoodpedia entries for individual launchpads cite the specific split where it has been verified rather than assumed.
This entry deliberately does not name a specific launchpad as canonical. The chain hosts more than one, and Hoodpedia's neutrality rule (see Hoodpedia) applies here as everywhere: coverage is added per venue as entries are filed, not ranked by preference.
