Nobody
starts ahead.
The fair-launch protocol for Elysium. Every token opens with a 30-minute Genesis, every wallet buys at one price, and the liquidity is locked forever. No snipers, no presale, no early-buyer edge.

Every launch follows the same five steps. There is no allowlist, no manual review and no admin who can change the outcome.
- 11 transactionCreate
Name, symbol, logo and an optional creator allocation up to 3%. The 0.1 HYPE fee is paid and the rules are written into the contracts.
- 230 minutesGenesis
Anyone except the creator commits HYPE. Timing doesn't matter: every wallet is priced together at the end.
- 3Anyone can run itSettlement
The contract checks the single clearing price itself. Below 10 HYPE the launch fails and deposits are refunded; above 50 HYPE deposits are filled pro rata.
- 4Same transactionPool opens
90% of the raise and matching tokens form a locked pool at the Genesis price. Unused tokens are burned and trading starts.
- 5First 6 hoursProtected trading
Wallets can hold at most 2%, rising to 3%, 5% and 8% before the limit lifts.
The rules are the product.
Most launchpads reward whoever is fastest, best connected or holds the most capital. EQUINOX removes the timing race: deposits are priced together, wallets are capped and the creator plays by the same limits as everyone else.
These parameters are identical for every token and enforced by the contracts. No admin key can change them.
All rules and the price formula- Genesis window

How it differs from other launchpads
A comparison with the two common launch models. Other platforms vary; this describes their typical design.
| EQUINOX | Bonding-curve launchpads | Presale / allowlist launchpads | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Price you pay | The same clearing price as every other Genesis wallet | Rises with each buy, so the earliest buyers pay least | Fixed, but only allowlisted wallets get it |
| First-block snipers | Nothing to snipe. No pool exists until Genesis is settled | Bots typically buy in the first blocks | Insiders and bots race the listing |
| Per-wallet limit | 2% in Genesis, then 2–8% for the first 6 hours | Usually none | Tiers chosen by the project |
| Creator tokens | At most 3%, vested 7 + 30 days, creator blocked from Genesis | Creator can buy at launch like anyone | Team allocations set by the project |
| Liquidity | 90% of the raise, locked forever at the Genesis price | Migrates to a DEX at a threshold; terms vary | Often time-locked and unlockable later |
| Opening valuation | Set by demand between the 10 HYPE minimum and the 50 HYPE hard cap; at most about 100 HYPE market cap | Starts at a fixed low valuation | Set by the project |
| If demand is too low | Launch fails, everyone is refunded 100% | Tokens stay on the curve | Depends on the project |
| Rules can change | No. Fixed in the contracts for every launch | Set by the platform | Set per project |
Questions
The short answers. The full mechanics, including the settlement formula, are on the rules page.
No. Deposits are only counted when Genesis closes. Every wallet receives tokens at the same clearing price, whether it deposited in the first second or the last.
Give your token a fair start.
One transaction creates the token and opens its Genesis. Thirty minutes later it trades on a pool nobody can drain.
