How Mon-Pad works
Everything you need to know to launch, trade, and graduate a token on Monad.
What is Mon-Pad?
Mon-Pad is a fair-launch token platform on the Monad blockchain. No pre-sale, no team allocation, no insider unlocks — everyone buys from the same bonding curve from block one.
When a token raises enough MON, it "graduates" to a real Uniswap V3 liquidity pool. The LP is locked forever, the creator earns sell fees in perpetuity, and the token trades like any other on-chain asset.
Launching a token
Connect your wallet
MetaMask, Rabby, or any wallet that supports Monad mainnet (chainId 143).
Pay 100 MON creation fee
Funds the initial setup. Returned to treasury at graduation.
Fill in token details
Name, symbol, description, image, socials (Twitter, Telegram, website — all optional).
Make your dev buy (optional)
Between 0 and 5% of supply. Signals commitment. Standard is roughly 1–2%.
Confirm transaction
One tx creates the token, sets up the bonding curve, and credits your dev buy.
Trading goes live instantly
Your token has its own page at /token/<address> for anyone to buy and sell.
The bonding curve
Price rises as more MON is added to the curve, and drops when MON is removed. The curve uses constant-product math (x·y=k) with virtual reserves to prevent snipe-bots from buying everything at launch.
Fees explained
| Action | Fee | Split |
|---|---|---|
| Buy | 2% | 1% creator + 1% platform buffer |
| Sell | 2% | 1% platform + 0.5% creator + 0.5% staking rewards |
| Token creation | 100 MON | Returned to treasury at graduation |
| Early unstake | 10% | Penalty for breaking lock |
Graduation
When raised MON hits 425,000 MON net of fees, the token graduates automatically. Three things happen in one transaction:
- 1Remaining curve tokens + MON migrate to a real Uniswap V3 LP.
- 2The LP NFT is locked forever (no rug possible).
- 3Creator receives 25,000 MON graduation reward (claimable via the Token page).
After graduation, the token trades on Uniswap V3 like any other Monad token. The creator still earns 0.5% of every sell forever (no expiry).
Staking
Token holders can stake to earn a share of sell fees from the tokens they back. Lock durations: 7 / 30 / 90 / 180 days (longer locks earn more rewards weight). 2% stake fee, waived if you hold MONSHI. 10% penalty for unstaking before the lock ends.
MONSHI stakers get bonus rewards — 40% of platform sell fees flow to MONSHI buyback.
Safety & Audits
Audited by Claude Code via three rounds of review. The graduation LP is locked permanently — creators cannot withdraw it. Treasury, buyback, and platform wallets are env-driven and visible on-chain.

FAQ
Do I need MONSHI to use Mon-Pad?
No. MONSHI gets you bonuses (waived stake fee, bonus rewards) but everything works without it.
What if my token doesn't graduate?
It keeps trading on the bonding curve forever. There's no time limit and no failed-launch refund — buys and sells route through the curve until graduation happens.
Can the team rug me?
No. The graduation LP is locked permanently. Creators can't withdraw the LP — they can only earn the trading fees from sells (0.5% forever).
How is this different from Pump.fun?
Pump.fun is on Solana with their own AMM. Mon-Pad is on Monad with real Uniswap V3 graduation. Creators on Mon-Pad earn forever (not just before graduation). Staking rewards built in.
How is this different from nad.fun?
We focus on creator economics (1.5% fee revenue forever per token), deeper DeFi integration (staking, MONSHI tie-ins), and fair-launch ethos. Pricing is the same range for users.
When can I unstake?
Anytime, but if before your lock period ends you eat a 10% penalty. After the lock, you can claim and unstake with zero penalty.
What's MONSHI?
MONSHI is a community token on Monad that we partner with for fee distribution. Holding MONSHI waives stake fees and gives bonus rewards. Not required.
