How TEG.fun works

TEG.fun runs on Robinhood Chain and Base. You pick the chain when you launch. Robinhood Chain offers every launch type below. Base offers Instant Launch, paired with ETH, USDC or cbBTC. Each token lives on one chain, with its own pool, fee splitter and liquidity locker, and fees and payouts work the same way on both.

On Robinhood Chain every launch picks one of four types, chosen once at creation and unchangeable afterward. Instant Launch goes straight to a live trading pool. Classic, Sprint and Furnace start on a bonding curve and graduate into a trading pool once enough has been raised. All four lock their liquidity forever, take the same fees, and in every one the creator's own first buy runs inside the launch transaction, before anyone else can trade.

The entire supply goes into a Uniswap V4 pool the moment the token is created — single-sided, so no capital is needed from the creator and there is no curve to climb first. The token is tradable on the open market from the very first block.

A creator can attach ETH to the launch transaction. That ETH becomes the creator's own first buy, executed inside the same transaction, before anyone else can trade. Nobody can be ahead of the creator, and that first buy isn't capped.

An Instant token can be paired with ETH or with any approved asset: a tokenized stock on Robinhood Chain, or USDC or cbBTC on Base. Whatever it's paired with is the asset it trades against and the asset trading fees are paid in. Buyers can still pay, and sellers be paid, in plain ETH — it is converted automatically in the same transaction.

The liquidity position is held by a locker contract that has no function to withdraw it — not for the creator, not for TEG.fun. Only the trading fees it earns can be collected, and those go to the fee splitter described below.

Classic, Sprint and Furnace start on an automatic pricing curve. Anyone can buy or sell against it at any time — the more that's bought, the higher the price climbs. Once enough real value has traded on the curve, it automatically graduates: most of the total supply has already gone to real buyers by then. Of what's left unsold, a portion is permanently burned and the rest becomes the real trading pool. Tokens already bought by real buyers aren't affected by any of this.

The liquidity in that pool is locked forever. The position holding it has no withdrawal function at all — not for the creator, not for TEG.fun. If a graduation attempt ever runs short on gas, anyone can retry it — it's never stuck waiting on one specific person.

Classic graduates at 4.2 ETH raised, with about a quarter of the unsold supply burned. Sprint uses the same split as Classic, just at a smaller 1 ETH threshold, so it reaches a live trading pool faster. Furnace also graduates at 1 ETH, but far less of the supply sells before then, so a much larger share — a little over half of what's unsold — is burned at graduation.

There are no opening buy caps and no waiting period. Instead, the creator's optional first buy is part of the launch transaction itself, on every launch type and every pairing, so it happens before anyone else can trade. Nobody can be ahead of the creator, and nothing is ever taken from anyone.

Launches made before 9 October kept the opening limits they were created with (a 20-second cap on how much can be bought at once). Those are fixed on-chain and still apply to those earlier launches only.

Some launches, Instant or curve, trade in a pairing other than ETH — a stablecoin, or a tokenized stock. In that case, the curve or pool trades directly in that asset from the very first buy. Buyers can still pay with plain ETH if they'd rather — a real router converts it automatically, in the same transaction as the purchase.

Every trade carries a small fee: 1% to the protocol, plus up to 10% chosen by the token's own creator. A creator can set the same rate for buys and sells, or a different rate for each. Both rates are fixed at launch — nobody, including TEG.fun, can raise, lower or otherwise change what a trader pays on that token afterward. The protocol's cut and the creator's own direct share both pay out automatically, immediately, every trade — nothing for either party to claim.

A creator can choose to route part of their own fee to holders instead of keeping it directly. That portion is distributed automatically too — no staking, no claiming. A trusted process periodically pays every real holder their proportional share directly, based on how long they've actually held.

A creator can also route part of what's left of their own fee — after any holder share — into automatically buying back and burning the token, instead of taking it as direct earnings. This reduces supply over time rather than paying out, entirely at the creator's own discretion and set once at launch.

The token contract you receive when you buy has no owner variable at all. There is no mint function beyond the single, one-time call that creates the fixed supply at launch, no pause switch, and no privileged backdoor of any kind. The entire supply is created once, at launch — the creator picks how large that supply is, but not anything about how it behaves afterward — and nothing about the contract can be changed afterward by anyone, including TEG.fun.

Can: change which wallet is allowed to run holder payouts, change where the protocol's own 1% is paid, reassign the wallet that receives a launch's creator share (for example if a creator hands a project over), and adjust the opening limits on earlier Instant launches within fixed limits.

Can't: change a token's fee rates, mint or pause a token, move or withdraw locked liquidity, or touch anyone's tokens. Those things aren't gated behind a key — the functions don't exist.
