Frequently Asked Questions

uStroid is a permissionless meme token launchpad built on Ethereum. Anyone can deploy a fair-launch ERC-20 token in under 60 seconds. Tokens launch on an automated bonding curve — no presales, no insider bags, no VCs. When a token reaches $69K market cap, liquidity auto-migrates to Uniswap V3 and LP tokens are burned forever.

uStroid works with MetaMask. Install the MetaMask browser extension, fund it with ETH, and click "Connect Wallet" on the site. Make sure you're on Ethereum Mainnet.

To launch a token you need 0.01 ETH (launch fee) plus gas (~$4–8). To trade tokens on the bonding curve, you only need enough ETH to cover your buy amount plus gas. There is no minimum trade size.

Click "Launch Your Token" on the homepage. Fill in your token name, ticker symbol, description, and optionally upload a logo and add social links. Hit "Launch Token" — MetaMask will prompt you to approve the 0.01 ETH fee transaction. Once confirmed, your token is live on the bonding curve.

When launching, you can optionally set a creator allocation of up to 5% of total supply. This is purely optional — you can launch with 0% allocation for a completely fair launch. The remaining supply (80%) goes to the bonding curve for public sale, and 15% is reserved for Uniswap V3 LP at graduation.

Yes — the Platform is permissionless and does not enforce name uniqueness. Multiple tokens can share the same name. Each token has a unique contract address. Always verify the contract address before buying to avoid buying an impersonator token.

A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that determines token price based on supply. As more tokens are purchased, the price increases continuously. As tokens are sold back, the price decreases. This is fully deterministic and on-chain — no one can manipulate the price formula.

uStroid charges a 1% fee on all bonding curve trades (buys and sells). This fee is taken automatically by the smart contract. Gas fees are separate and are paid to Ethereum validators.

When a token's market cap hits $69,000, the bonding curve automatically closes. The ETH and tokens held in the curve are migrated to a Uniswap V3 pool. The LP tokens are immediately burned (sent to the zero address), locking that liquidity permanently. Trading then continues on Uniswap V3.

Yes. Token prices on the bonding curve fluctuate based on buy and sell activity. If you buy and others sell before you, the price will be lower when you try to exit. Meme tokens are extremely volatile. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. See our Risk Disclosure for full details.

Yes. The uStroid frontend is open source and available on GitHub. Smart contracts will be verified on Etherscan upon deployment.

The smart contracts are audited by Trail of Bits and OpenZeppelin. Audits reduce but do not eliminate risk. Always do your own research and never invest more than you can afford to lose.

MetaMask only injects into pages served over http:// or https://. If you're running the site locally, use python3 -m http.server 3000 and open http://localhost:3000 instead of opening the HTML file directly.
