FAQ
Quick answers about the curve, graduation and locked liquidity.
What is BasePump?
A launchpad on Base where every token starts on a parabolic bonding curve and graduates automatically to a Uniswap v4 pool with permanently locked liquidity.
How does the curve work?
The price rises by a public formula as people buy (price grows with the square of supply). No presale, no initial liquidity, no hidden allocations.
What happens when a token graduates?
At 2.5 ETH raised, the curve closes and migrates to a Uniswap v4 pool at the same price. Liquidity is locked forever and trading continues there.
Can the creator rug the token?
No. The liquidity position lives in a contract with no withdrawal function, so it can never be pulled. The team allocation only unlocks after graduation.
What are the fees?
1% per trade: 0.5% to the creator and 0.5% to the treasury. Some tokens add an optional 1–3% holder reward tax.
How do I sell?
On the curve you can sell back at any time. After graduation, you sell on the Uniswap v4 pool (links are on the token page).
What is reward mode?
An optional 1–3% tax on sales, shared pro-rata with holders who stake the token, paid in ETH on-chain.
Is it audited?
Not yet externally audited — it is a guarded beta. We ran Slither (no high/medium findings), 110+ tests, and there is a live bug bounty.
Which chain? Do I need an account?
Base (an Ethereum L2 by Coinbase), with very low gas. No account needed: connect any wallet, non-custodial.
How much does it cost to launch?
Launching is free. You only pay network gas, which on Base costs cents.
