Allocations and design choices

Use this guide to decide what a launch should do, then enter the plan in the builder. The pricing walkthrough explains the equations. All examples describe source at c96cd0d, not verified live policy or available app features.

A launch has three separate balance systems

1. Curve reserves: the tokens available for curve trading and real quote collected after fees and sells. Virtual quote affects pricing but is not a balance.
2. Launch allocations and fee ledgers: reserved pool tokens, recipient allocations and accrued creator/Blast fees. A token fee is not a purchase delivered to the buyer. Accrued quote fees do not count toward the real quote target.
3. Pool and LP vault: at graduation, allocated tokens and quote seed the DEX. The vault handles LP custody and future collected fees. It does not continue the curve’s trade-fee schedule.

Keep these separate in budgets and dashboards. A target is not volume, a fee allocation is not liquidity, and an LP-fee split is not an annual return.

What the creator chooses

Choice	Rules	Economic consequence
Generated coin	Exactly 1 billion whole tokens; admitted decimals initially 6 or 9	Supply is fixed at creation, not a builder slider
Burn-only or fixed supply	Disposal burns recorded supply, or transfers tokens to the zero address	Changes recorded supply after disposal; neither mode permits additional minting after finalization
Sell burn	0–50%, fixed in the ticket; applied after token fee	Less of a seller’s input reaches the reserve; disposal waits until graduation
Quote coin	Admitted, different from the launched coin	Determines payment asset, decimals and denomination of all prices
Virtual reserve	Positive quote amount	Sets opening price relative to curve inventory; supplies no funds
Real quote target	Positive; must leave at least one atom allocated to LP	Determines when the curve closes; no expiry if it is never reached
Supply allocation	Curve and LP positive; all shares including Blast total 100%	Separates trading inventory, pool funding and project distributions
Quote allocation	All shares including Blast total 100%	Splits the final real quote reserve, not gross purchases
Project recipients	Up to 16 non-zero addresses; separate token and quote shares	Pays at migration; repeated addresses are permitted in this allocation list
Venue and tier	Cetus registered tier, or Bluefin spacing 1–400 and raw fee rate 1–20,000	Fixed venue route and pool-creation requirements; raw Bluefin units are not BPS
Opening mode	No round, or pooled 60–300 seconds	Changes access timing and settlement, not the curve equation
LP-fee routing	Creator, auto-LP, rewards, burn and up to 16 extra recipients total 100%	Distributes what remains after Blast’s live LP-fee share
Extra LP recipients	Distinct non-zero addresses	Paid directly at each collection; distinctness differs from project allocations
Partner	Accepted partner recorded at creation, or none	Partner receives part of Blast’s fees; identity cannot later be replaced

Name, description, icon, creator recipient and symbol also need review. Symbol is capped at 32 bytes on finalization. Name, description and icon can later change through the metadata capability; symbol and decimals cannot. Builder recipient labels are planning names, not validated destinations.

What Blast controls

Setting	When it is read	Can it change for an existing launch?
Launch creation fee in SUI	Finalization; must pay exactly	The launch has already paid it
Admitted coins and decimals	Creation	Does not rewrite a finalized coin
Curve quote and token fee rates	Creation; each at most 10%	Snapshotted rates stay fixed
Protocol supply and quote allocations	Creation	Snapshotted shares stay fixed
Blast’s share of curve fees	Every trade; 0–100%	Yes, without a delay in this source
Blast’s share of collected LP fees	Every collection; 0–100%, separately per asset	Yes, without a delay; per-coin pair overrides defaults
Treasury destination	Payout	Yes
Partner share and managing capability	Payout using current accepted policy	Changes wait seven days; share at most 80% of Blast’s part
Capabilities and package upgrades	Administrative operations	Blast can reassign fee/metadata capabilities and upgrade compatible packages

Source initialization at zero is not evidence of a live zero fee. Read the actual deployment’s policy objects. The presale’s schedule and capabilities do not apply to this product.

Design the supply and quote allocations together

For an illustrative 1-billion-token launch:

Destination	Original token supply	Final real quote reserve
Curve inventory	70% = 700,000,000 tokens	—
Pool	20% = 200,000,000 tokens	90%
Blast	1% = 10,000,000 tokens	1%
Project treasury	9% = 90,000,000 tokens	9%
Total	100%	100%

The 70% is inventory offered to the curve, not a promise that all 700 million tokens are sold. Whatever remains at graduation is disposed of. The 20% LP allocation is a separate reserve and is not adjusted upward to absorb unsold inventory.

At a 3,000-quote target, the pool receives 2,700 quote coins, Blast accrues 30, and the project receives 270. Curve trading fees were already separated. Adding virtual quote to these amounts would invent money the contract does not hold.

With more recipients, split the project allocation explicitly. A second 4% token allocation must come out of another share; it cannot be added on top of a 100% plan. The builder validates each asset independently and never silently adjusts a share.

Exact allocation rounding

Every amount is allocated in atoms. Blast’s protocol allocation rounds up. Other parts start at their floor, then leftover atoms go to the largest fractional remainders; ties favor the earlier entry. Supply order is curve, LP, Blast, recipients; quote order is LP, Blast, recipients.

For 7 quote atoms, with pool 50%, Blast 10%, project 40%:

Raw amounts:       pool 3.5   Blast 0.7   project 2.8
Initial amounts:   pool 3     Blast 1     project 2
One atom remains; project has the larger eligible remainder.
Final amounts:     pool 3     Blast 1     project 3   → total 7

The LP-fee remainder uses the same largest-remainder method after Blast’s cut, with no specially rounded-up recipient. Earlier tie order is creator, auto-LP, rewards, burn, then extra recipients. This is why multiplying a displayed percentage and rounding every line independently can produce an incorrect total.

Align the final curve price and pool price deliberately

For a continuous buy-only path:

final_curve_tokens ≈ opening_curve_tokens × V / (V + T)
final_curve_price ≈ (V + T) / final_curve_tokens
nominal_pool_price = pool_quote / pool_tokens
matching_pool_tokens ≈ pool_quote / final_curve_price

Changing LP token supply changes the pool price even if the curve is unchanged. Changing LP quote allocation changes both pool depth and pool price. Changing the curve allocation changes its opening and final prices. Raising the target changes graduation timing, curve price and the quote available for allocation.

A matching ratio is a design constraint, not an automatic contract guarantee. Venue tick bounds, coin order, integer seed price and position rounding matter; actual deposits can leave residual assets. Pool price may move immediately after creation. The builder graphs the curve against the nominal LP ratio so a discontinuity is visible before launch.

For concentrated liquidity, adding the displayed quote value of both sides is only a nominal balance valuation. It is not an exact measure of executable depth, position liquidity, or the quote that a large sell could recover.

Choose the opening mode

	No opening round	Pooled opening round
Before public sharing	Creator can buy	Creator can bid into the same pot
Public start	Ordinary curve trading	Bids join a pot for 60–300 seconds
Withdrawal	A subsequent public live sell is a new trade	Bids cannot be withdrawn
Price treatment	Each buy uses then-current reserves	Pot makes one buy; participants share its output
Pot exceeds target	Not applicable	Capped purchase; unused quote distributed with tokens
Delivery	Direct buy outputs	Permissionless delivery to the named bidder, even after migration

For a pot of 1,000 quote coins with a 100-quote bid, that bidder has 10% of the pooled input. It receives roughly 10% of net tokens and any unused quote. Atomic remainders depend on delivery order, with the final bidder receiving what remains. A nonterminal pot that would deliver zero tokens is retained for refund; terminal zero-output behavior follows the target-reaching buy rule.

An opening round does not guarantee a fair valuation, remove administration, or create a target-miss refund path.

Route future LP fees by purpose

Suppose a pool position has earned 10 quote coins, Blast’s LP cut is an assumed 10%, and the post-Blast split is creator 40%, auto-LP 30%, holder rewards 20%, burn 10%:

Destination	Quote amount	What happens
Blast	1	Treasury payout, or held for partner settlement
Creator	3.6	Accumulates in vault; capability holder claims
Auto-LP	2.7	Waits for sufficient token-side funds, then adds liquidity at current price
Holder rewards	1.8	Waits for funded administrator-published reward rounds
Burn	0.9	Quote accumulates until an authorized buyback

The same procedure runs separately on token fees. Burn-side tokens are disposed of immediately at collection, unlike burn-side quote. If an accepted partner has an assumed 20% share of Blast’s part, its quote cut is 0.2 and Blast keeps 0.8; the creator and other destinations are unchanged.

The builder lets you enter sample earned token and quote fees. It shows routing, not expected earnings. Trading volume, DEX fees, position performance, collection timing, reinvestment execution and off-chain reward calculations are separate assumptions.

The creator fee-capability holder may replace the split after migration. The adapter first collects outstanding fees under the previous split. Existing accumulated balances keep their assigned purpose; a new split does not relabel old rewards or burn funds.

Budget graduation and operational work

Graduation is a separate transaction from reaching the target, although it can be composed with the final buy. Anyone can trigger the original adapter with the required inputs. Failure rolls back migration atomically.

• The target, virtual reserve, launch allocations, total curve trade-fee rates, sell burn, opening duration, partner and venue tier are fixed for the launch under the current code.
• Cetus requires the correct canonical pair, a registered tier and its reserved creation cap. The adapter does not adopt an existing pool. Pre-creation of that pool or removal of the tier can leave the launch waiting for an upgrade-based recovery path.
• Bluefin requires its exact current SUI pool-creation fee and currencies/configuration. The transaction sender becomes its pool manager for reward-emission administration.
• SUI creation and network costs are separate from the quote target, even if the quote coin is not SUI. The builder does not estimate gas.
• Cetus burns the migration position through LP Burn and stores the proof; auto-LP uses a separate position. Bluefin holds its position in the vault. No current entrypoint withdraws these positions, but the migrators package remains upgradeable.
• Venue residuals accrue to a separate vault protocol-residual balance, claimable only by TreasuryAdmin; they are not a project allocation or an automatic refund.

Holder-reward eligibility comes from an off-chain calculation and a funded Merkle root, not from a percentage slider. Proofs show membership in the published allocation; they do not establish fairness of its accounting. These rounds have no expiry or cancel/sweep path in the reviewed code.

Review a plan before publishing

Use the launch checklist, review safety and authority, and preserve the exact source/deployment and policy assumptions alongside the downloaded plan. Confirm real wallet addresses, metadata, capability recipients, supported coins, atomic amounts, the migration operator and its funding.

Do not use a curve plan as a presale plan. Curves have no sale window, cancellation, or target-miss refund. If the target is never reached, migration allocations remain unavailable; holders can only use the curve’s supported live trading path and its available real reserves.
