ABOUT MERGETECH

A token’s journey.
Launch. Graduate. Merge.

Launch a community token, trade with USDC, and graduate into protected liquidity. Then unite with another graduated community to build one stronger successor.

How the pad works

Each launch starts with its own token and USDC bonding curve. The contracts handle pricing, fee accounting and the transition to a trading pool.

  1. Create your token

    Choose a name, ticker and metadata. The full initial supply is minted into the curve. There is no automatic creator token allocation; a creator can make an optional first buy at launch.

  2. Trade on the curve

    Buy with USDC or sell tokens back before graduation. Buys move the curve price up; sells move it down. A virtual reserve of 3,000 USDC sets the starting pricing conditions—it is not withdrawable money.

  3. Graduate into protected liquidity

    At 12,000 USDC in real curve reserves, curve trading closes. Collected USDC and reserved tokens seed a fee-enabled trading pool. Excess reserved tokens stay permanently locked. Pool liquidity can move only into a unanimously approved successor pool.

A buy that crosses the target is partially filled and unused USDC is refunded. Graduation is attempted automatically; if it is deferred, anyone can retry it with “Finish graduation” on the token page. Seven days after assets have been swept, if pool creation is still unfinished, anyone can request a final retry. If it fails, the launch enters permanent redemption: current holders burn their tokens for a proportional share of the remaining USDC. This does not refund historical purchase prices, and already graduated liquidity is never part of recovery. Use redemption to receive USDC; burning tokens separately forfeits the claim.
02 / SUPPLY & ECONOMICS

Where the tokens go

Each default launch starts with one billion tokens and no further minting. The default allocation at graduation balances curve distribution, trading liquidity and permanently locked reserves.

Reference proportions before rounding. Actual migration uses the curve’s remaining balance; voluntary token burns can reduce outstanding supply. Locked tokens are not burned.

Opening anti-snipe window10 blocks

The opening pool has 12,000 USDC on its quote side. Its initial fully diluted valuation (FDV) is 75,000 USDC; this is a valuation, not money available for sellers. Quotes show the effect of your trade on execution, separately from your slippage tolerance.

These are documented launch defaults, not live quotes. New-launch settings can change; the create page reads the current factory configuration. Each existing token keeps the economics set when it launched. Check its token page before trading.
03 / FEES & REWARDS

Creator and protocol fees that continue

The standard trading fee is 1% on buys and sells, before graduation and on every swap through the canonical graduated pool. Of the collected fee, 70% goes to the creator fee recipient and 30% to the protocol treasury.

For a 10 USDC buy, after the anti-snipe window
0.10 USDC fee0.07 creator+0.03 protocol

9.90 USDC reaches the curve. Gas is separate. A partial fill at graduation scales the charged fees down.

Early buys have an additional fee

The anti-snipe rate starts at 99% in the launch block, halves each block, and ends after 10 blocks. Combined buy fees are capped at 99% so at least 1% reaches the curve. Only the single atomic opening purchase avoids this penalty. Later purchases by the creator and fee recipient follow the same rules as everyone else; there are no extra exempt wallets. Sells only pay the standard curve fee. The trade panel defaults to waiting for the penalty to end.

Claim rewards when you choose

Ordinary trading fees accrue in USDC escrow with the 70/30 split. Opening anti-snipe penalties go entirely to the protocol and are accounted for separately. Creators withdraw their available USDC from Creator rewards. The separate 1 USDC launch fee goes to the protocol treasury. Mergeable tokens keep fixed payout rights until all current creators approve a new team and fee split in a merger. Past fees remain claimable after a creator exits.

After graduation

The fee-enabled model charges 1% on the USDC side of each buy or sell in its canonical graduated pool: 0.7% to the creator and 0.3% to the protocol, subject to micro-USDC rounding. Enforcement happens in the pool integration, including trades submitted outside the MergeTech interface. Separately created pools and peer-to-peer transfers are not subject to this fee. This requires a new verified deployment; existing V2 pools keep their original economics.

04 / GET STARTED

Your first launch or trade

Mergers and acquisitions. Both sources must graduate and develop at least two days of price history. Every current creator approves the new name, required new picture, continuing creator team and future fee split. Leaving creators retain token-holder conversion and past earned fees, but give up future creator rights on the successor. After public notice, sources freeze and eligible wallets receive their successor allocation automatically; no claim is needed. Explore merger agreements →

05 / GOOD TO KNOW

Common questions

Is there a MergeTech platform token?

MergeTech plans to launch $APA later and purchase 15% of its initial supply (150 million tokens). Under the mainnet policy, its creator follows the same 2% atomic opening-purchase limit as everyone else, then can buy the remainder in ordinary market trades. There is no permanent wallet holding cap. The actual USDC cost depends on market activity. This is a purchased allocation, not free minting. Future buybacks and voluntary burns are planned; no automatic buyback schedule, return or burn amount is promised.

How much can a creator buy at launch?

The single atomic opening buy has a 2% supply cap for every creator, including $APA. The token page displays the opening allocation. Later purchases are allowed at the current market price and follow the ordinary fees and opening penalty; there is no permanent wallet holding cap.

Is the graduation target a market cap?

No. The 12,000 USDC target is the curve’s real USDC reserve after fees and sells. It is not total trading volume or token market cap. Sells reduce the reserve and graduation progress.

Can a creator remove the launch liquidity?

No creator can withdraw launch liquidity. It can move only into the agreed successor after all current creators consent, protocol checks pass and holder distribution completes. This protection does not guarantee a token’s price.

Which network does MergeTech use?

MergeTech uses Arc Mainnet, chain ID 5042, with real USDC. The public app has no network selector. Testnet holdings do not become mainnet holdings; separate test environments are used only for engineering.

Why do I need USDC for gas too?

On Arc, USDC is both the trading quote asset and the native gas currency. Keep a balance beyond the amount you trade. Gas costs vary and are not included in the launch or curve fee.

Contracts & references

Contract references for Arc Mainnet. Each launched token also has its own token, curve and eventual pool addresses on its detail page.

Reference configuration: DEFAULT_USDC (ID 1). Economics are documented from the MergeTech deployment configuration and contract math.

Before you continue

MergeTech is experimental software. Tokens launched here are not offers of securities, capital raises or tokenized equity; launching such assets is prohibited. Tokens can temporarily freeze, automatically convert and permanently retire after every current creator approves the agreement and the protocol approves under its policy. An agreement can change the creator team only with consent from every current creator, including anyone leaving. Liquidity can move only into the agreed successor pool. USDC on Arc may be frozen by Circle's compliance blocklist. You are responsible for compliance with the laws of your jurisdiction; the service is unavailable in restricted territories.
