How Townpad works
Every token on Townpad follows the same three steps: Build, Launch, Grow.
1. Build
You choose your token's name, ticker, image, description and links, and decide how much you earn from each trade (the creator tax). Name, ticker, image, creator tax and payout address are written onchain and can't be changed later.
2. Launch
Your token is created in a single transaction from your wallet and starts trading immediately on a bonding curve. The curve sets the price automatically: it rises as people buy and falls as people sell.
Anti-sniper protection. Each launch opens with a buy tax that starts at 99% and drops to zero within about five seconds, so bots that race the first block lose money instead of gaining an edge.
Opening buy. As the creator, you can buy your own token in the same transaction that creates it, so nobody can trade before you.
3. Grow
When enough ETH has been raised on the curve, the token graduates. Its liquidity moves into a Uniswap pool and is locked permanently. Trading continues in that pool, and the creator keeps earning the creator tax.
Graduation is a milestone, not a guarantee of quality. Always do your own research before buying any token.
