# Welcome to Degen Games

The token launch arcade. Launch in 30 seconds, climb the curve, graduate to the DEX. Every coin starts at Level 1.

## Every coin starts at Level 1.

Degen Games is a cross-chain token launchpad built like an arcade. Anyone can launch a token in about 30 seconds, whether it's a meme, a community coin or a new project, and it trades on a bonding curve from the moment it goes live. It's a fair launch: no presale, no team allocation, no code.

Fill the curve and the coin **graduates** into a Uniswap pool. The liquidity is **burned**, not locked, so nobody can pull it. That includes the creator and Degen Games.

The arcade opens on **Robinhood Chain**. **BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base** and more EVM chains come next. On every chain, the platform's share of trading fees is bridged automatically and used to **buy back and burn the launchpad-supported token**.

**Powered by Chainlink × Manyu.**

## The game at a glance

|                             |                                                                                      |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Supply per coin**         | 1,000,000,000. Fixed forever. No mint function.                                      |
| **Launch cost**             | 0.0005 ETH launch fee, plus gas                                                      |
| **Pricing**                 | Bonding curve. Every buy pushes the price up.                                        |
| **Graduation**              | Automatic once the curve raises its target: 4.2 ETH for ETH launches                 |
| **After graduation**        | Uniswap v4 pool with the LP position burned                                          |
| **Deflationary graduation** | About 8% of supply is burned the moment a coin graduates                             |
| **Trading fee**             | 1% per trade: **0.3% platform, 0.7% creator**. The same before and after graduation. |
| **Creator tax**             | Optional, 0–10%, fixed at launch                                                     |
| **Anti-snipe**              | Buys in the first 3 seconds pay a snipe tax of up to 99%                             |
| **Raise in**                | ETH, USDG, or any of 43 tokenized stocks on Robinhood Chain                          |
| **Holder rewards**          | Optional: creators can route their fees to their holders                             |
| **Ownerless coins**         | Every coin's owner is the null address `0x000…000` from the moment it's deployed     |
| **Platform revenue**        | Buys back and burns the launchpad-supported token, whichever chain it was earned on  |

## What makes it different

* **Liquidity burned, not locked.** At graduation the LP position goes to the burn address. No unlock date, no admin key, no withdraw function.
* **Deflationary from day one.** Every coin burns about 8% of its supply when it graduates.
* **No owner, ever.** Every coin's contract defines its owner as the null address. There's no admin key to abuse and nothing to renounce.
* **One arcade, many chains.** The same contracts and the same rules on every chain. Robinhood first, then BNB Chain, Ethereum, Base and other EVM chains.
* **Every trade feeds the burn.** The platform's share of fees on every chain is bridged automatically, used to buy **$MANYU**, and burned.
* **Pay your holders.** One switch sends a coin's creator fees to a rewards vault that pays holders pro rata.
* **Verified by default.** Every coin's contract is source-verified on the block explorer automatically.
* **Readable on-chain.** Fees, thresholds, splits and snipe windows can all be read straight from the contracts. See [Contracts](/degen-games-docs/developers/contracts.md).

```
GET https://degen-games-2.gitbook.io/degen-games-docs/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
