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 500 MON creation fee
100 MON seeds your curve as starting liquidity; the rest funds the platform treasury.
Fill in token details
Name, symbol, description, image, socials (Twitter, Telegram, website — all optional).
Make your dev buy (optional)
Between 0 and 2% 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% MONSHI buyback & burn |
| Token creation | 500 MON | 100 MON seeds curve liquidity; remainder to treasury (50% off for MONSHI holders) |
| Creator tax (optional) | 0–10% | Set by the creator, on top of the 2% base → buyback & burn / LP |
Graduation
When raised MON hits 260,000 MON net of fees (≈ $5,000), 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 a 41,700 MON graduation reward (≈ $800), and the treasury takes 10,400 MON (≈ $200) — both 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).
MONSHI & creator tools
Hold ≥ 1,000,000 MONSHI and your creation fee is cut 50% (250 MON instead of 500). Every launch also feeds the MONSHI ecosystem: 0.5% of every sell, plus 25% of any creator tax above 2%, automatically buys & burns MONSHI.
On top of the base fees, creators can turn on their own buyback & burn and add-to-LP routing (funded by an optional 0–10% per-trade tax and/or their dev fee) — so trading volume automatically reduces supply and/or deepens liquidity. See the Docs for the full mechanics.
Staking — stake project tokens launched on Mon-Pad to earn a share of revenue plus holder bonuses — is in active development and ships after mainnet stabilizes.
Safety & Audits
Reviewed across multiple audit rounds and source-verified on the Monad explorer. The graduation LP is burned (locked permanently) — creators cannot withdraw it. Treasury, buyback, and platform wallets are visible on-chain, and economic parameters change only through a 24-hour timelock with 2-step ownership.
Read the contract source and audit notes on the Docs page.
FAQ
Do I need MONSHI to use Mon-Pad?
No. Holding at least 1,000,000 MONSHI gives you 50% off the creation fee (250 MON instead of 500), 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. At graduation the liquidity pool's LP NFT is burned, so it's locked permanently — creators can't withdraw it. They only ever earn trading fees (0.5% of every sell, forever).
What does a creator earn?
The creator slice of every trade (1% of buys, 0.5% of sells) on the curve and after graduation, plus a 41,700 MON (≈$800) reward when the token graduates. Creators can also route fees/tax into buyback-and-burn or LP.
How is this different from Pump.fun?
Pump.fun is on Solana with its own AMM. Mon-Pad is on Monad with real Uniswap V3 graduation and permanently locked liquidity. Creators earn fees forever (not just pre-graduation) and get built-in buyback-burn and add-to-LP tools.
How is this different from nad.fun?
Same fair-launch, native-MON approach, but Mon-Pad adds creator tools (optional per-trade tax routed to buyback-burn / LP) and a MONSHI flywheel — a slice of every sell buys and burns MONSHI.
What's MONSHI?
MONSHI is a community token on Monad. Holding ≥1M gets you 50% off creation fees, and a slice of every sell (plus any creator tax above 2%) automatically buys and burns MONSHI. Not required to use the pad.
