Ten New Pools, $53,817 Total: What 4 ETH Filters Out
- Ten 0-hour launches hold $53,817 combined; $EXIT holds $0.50
- At 4 ETH a token graduates to Uniswap V2 with LP burned — about $19,100 TVL at today's ETH
- Creator tax and dividends only apply after graduation; the curve charges a 1% pool fee
Ten new tokens launched on Robinhood Chain today, all of them 0 hours old. Their combined liquidity: $53,817 — an average of $5,382 per pool.
One of them, $EXIT, holds $0.50 of liquidity. Fifty cents.
That's not a joke, it's the on-chain data at 00:08 UTC. This article is about what that implies: why "anyone can launch a token" needs a graduation line attached to it, and what BigPump's 4 ETH line actually filters out.
Today's ten new launches
| Token | Liquidity | 24h volume | 24h change |
|---|---|---|---|
| CTO (Vida Global CTO) | $20,057 | $69,084 | -32.84% |
| PONSIFY (Ponsification) | $5,107 | $3,866 | +72.22% |
| B (bushin) | $4,545 | $88 | +1.97% |
| NIKE | $4,344 | $1,148 | -8.10% |
| CP (ComPons) | $4,220 | $13,848 | -28.66% |
| TOSS (Stock Toss) | $4,186 | $286 | -2.17% |
| BOMB | $3,945 | $138 | -1.37% |
| RESERVE (The Reserve) | $3,910 | $199 | -2.27% |
| STAN (rip Stan) | $3,501 | $2,914 | -20.90% |
| EXIT (EXIT ENGINE) | $0.50 | $0.14 | +86.80% |
| Total | $53,817 | — | — |
Stare at the $EXIT row for a second: $0.50 of liquidity, $0.14 of 24h volume, +86.80%. In a pool holding fifty cents, one penny moves the price 86%. That "+86.80%" will propagate into data feeds, aggregators, and somebody's "new launch mooning" bot alert. It is technically true and informationally worthless.
The root cause: the cost of opening a pool is zero
On most chains, deploying a token and creating a Uniswap pool costs gas plus whatever liquidity you choose to seed. And "whatever you choose" can be any number at all — including $0.50.
Which produces exactly today's table: nine of ten new pools sit between $3,500 and $5,200, one holds $20,057, one holds fifty cents. Under an x·y=k estimate, a $100 buy into a $4,000 pool moves price roughly 10.3%. Click once and you've printed a green candle.
The consequence for anyone reading a new-launch leaderboard: at that depth, the percentage carries no information. You're not looking at market consensus. You're looking at one person spending a few hundred dollars.
How BigPump handles it: curve first, pool at 4 ETH
A token launched on BigPump doesn't get a Uniswap pool on day zero. It starts on a bonding curve:
- Curve phase. Everyone buys from the same curve — no presale, no team allocation, no "founder seeds a bag then pumps" entry point. The curve has a 1.5 ETH virtual reserve, but that figure exists only to set the starting price; nobody deposits it.
- The graduation line. When about 4 ETH of real ETH has accumulated in the curve pool, the token graduates automatically.
- Graduation settlement. A one-time 5% of the pool's ETH is taken (95% platform / 5% creator). At 4 ETH that's 0.2 ETH (0.19 platform, 0.01 creator), and the remaining ~3.8 ETH plus the matching tokens are deposited into a newly created Uniswap V2 pool.
- LP burned. The pool's LP tokens are minted to the dead address (0x…dEaD). Nobody can pull them back — not the creator, not the platform.
At today's ETH price of $2,513.75: 4 ETH ≈ $10,055; after the 0.2 ETH settlement fee, roughly $9,552 of ETH enters the pool. A Uniswap V2 pool holds equal value on both sides, so pool TVL at the moment of graduation is approximately $19,100 (an estimate at today's ETH price, before any post-graduation trading).
What that line filters out
1. It filters out the $0.50 pool. On BigPump, a token only gets a tradable Uniswap pool after 4 ETH of real money has bought into the curve. No buyers, no pool — and therefore no fake "+86.80%" on a new-launch board harvesting clicks. The graduation line is a threshold the market itself votes on.
2. It eliminates the liquidity-pull rug entirely. Once LP is burned, liquidity is permanently locked and the creator has no mechanism to withdraw the pool's ETH. That doesn't remove all risk — a large holder can still sell his tokens into the market — but it removes the fastest and most classic failure mode: deployer pulls liquidity, price goes to zero in one block.
3. It removes the premine-then-pump opening. On the curve, everyone pays the same price and there's no team-allocation entry. Compare today's board: $SHRUB's 45.1% single wallet and $ROBIN's 53.2%. Be precise about the limit, though: someone with capital can still buy heavily up the curve. This doesn't eliminate concentration, it eliminates the zero-cost route to a large bag.
What it does not do — stated plainly
- It doesn't prevent the price going to zero. No buyers, dead community, same result. Graduation guarantees a pool exists, not what the price in it is.
- It doesn't prevent a large holder from dumping. Whoever bought the most on the curve can sell the most after. You still have to read concentration.
- It doesn't make the curve phase deep. Pre-graduation depth is limited too; large orders still move price.
- It doesn't stop you from chasing. That's discipline, not mechanism.
While we're here: when the fees actually apply
| Phase | What's charged | Split |
|---|---|---|
| Curve (pre-graduation) | 1% pool fee per buy/sell | 95% platform / 5% creator |
| Curve (pre-graduation) | Creator tax = 0, dividends = 0 | — |
| At graduation (one-time) | 5% of pool ETH | 95% platform / 5% creator |
| Post-graduation DEX trades | Creator tax (0/1/3/5/10%, chosen at launch) + 1% platform | Creator tax splits four ways: treasury / burn / dividends / liquidity, totaling 100% |
The key point people get wrong: creator tax and holder dividends only exist after graduation. A token configured with a 10% tax charges just the 1% pool fee while it's still on the curve. Post-graduation, tax accrues in tokens inside the TaxHandler contract and is auto-swapped to ETH during sells once it crosses a threshold, then routed four ways. Dividends are paid in ETH, proportional to holdings, to addresses above the minimum threshold — the pair, router, dead address and protocol contracts are excluded. Full mechanics: book.bigpump.ai.
Using today's table as a filter
- Read liquidity before you read the percentage. Under $10,000 of pool depth, the price change tells you nothing.
- Derive size from the 1% rule. Keep an order under 1% of pool TVL: $40 on a $4,000 pool, $200 on the $20,057 pool. If that's too small to bother with, that's your answer.
- Check volume ÷ liquidity. Among today's new launches only $CTO shows real turnover ($69,084 / $20,057 = 3.4x). $B (bushin) traded $88 — an empty pool sitting there.
- Hit rates on 0-hour listings are low. Of the ten we logged on Sep 5, one later reached the trending board. Size these as fully expendable.
Liquidity, turnover and holder counts for every token are on the BigPump hot-token board. To launch a token that runs the curve and burns its LP, the launcher is here — no code, no seed liquidity required from you.
FAQ
Where does the 4 ETH line come from?
It's the contract parameter _initialLpLimitAmount = 4 ETH: once the curve pool accumulates 4 ETH of real ETH, graduation fires automatically, creating the Uniswap V2 pair and minting LP to the dead address.
Do I have to put up the 1.5 ETH virtual reserve?
No. It only sets the curve's starting price — nobody actually deposits that 1.5 ETH. Creators provide no seed liquidity.
How much is in the pool right after graduation?
At today's ETH price of $2,513.75: 4 ETH minus the 0.2 ETH settlement fee leaves about 3.8 ETH (≈$9,552) entering the pool, plus an equal value of tokens, for roughly $19,100 of TVL. That's the estimate at the moment of graduation; it moves with trading afterward.
Does burned LP mean it can't rug?
It can't rug by liquidity removal, because nobody can withdraw the pool. A large holder can still sell into the market and crash the price. Two different risks; this mechanism solves one. For reading the other, see reading memecoin concentration.
How did the main board look today?
Four golden dogs: $SHRUB +369.63%, $BELL +169.17%, $AOBS +135.82%, $ROBIN +104.82%. Full read: Robinhood Chain Hot Tokens, Sep 7 2026.
