x402MKT

Fair Launch Infrastructure

A new standard for token launches. No manipulation. No gas friction. No bullshit.

The Problem

Token launches are broken:

  • PumpFun-style pre-bonds get manipulated by insiders and bots before anyone else can participate
  • Sniper bots frontrun launches, extracting value from real contributors
  • Gas costs create friction—users need ETH just to send USDC
  • Trust issues around creator wallets and key management

The Solution: x402MKT Launchpad

A PartyDAO-style crowdfunded presale that replaces the pre-bond phase entirely.

How It Works

  1. 1. Creator sets a USDC funding goal and deadline
  2. 2. Contributors pledge USDC (gasless via x402 protocol)
  3. 3. If goal is met → Token deploys to Uniswap V4, contributors receive pro-rata tokens
  4. 4. If goal isn't met → USDC is fully refundable

The raised USDC becomes the devBuy—the initial liquidity that seeds the token's pool. Contributors split the resulting tokens, not the creator.

The Math: Why Early Contributors Win

Example configuration:

  • $10k USDC raise (devBuy amount)
  • 50% vault (creator tokens locked)
  • 25% airdrop to contributors

Result: Early contributors are up 10x at launch.

The vault locks creator supply, the airdrop rewards contributors directly, and the devBuy seeds real liquidity. Contributors aren't buying a promise—they're getting tokens at the ground floor with built-in price support.

Configurable Claim Schedules

Creators can tune contributor claims based on market conditions:

High anticipated buy pressureInstant claims—let contributors exit or hold
Sustainable growth preferredVesting schedule—prevents dumps

Core Features

FeatureWhat It Means
Gasless ContributionsUsers sign with USDC—no ETH needed. x402 protocol handles settlement.
Controlled Contribution Limitsx402 enables precise min/max caps per wallet—no whales dominating.
AI Agent CompatibleAny AI agent with a wallet can contribute via x402.
Sniper ProtectionTime-decaying anti-bot fees (66% → 4%) prevent extraction.
Turnkey Wallet SecurityIsolated key management via Turnkey's institutional-grade infra.
NFT GatingOptional community whitelisting—reward holders with priority access.
Merkle DistributionGas-efficient token claims for contributors at any scale.
Full RefundsGoal not met? Claim your USDC back. No rugs, no locks.

Tech Stack

Built on production-ready infrastructure:

  • x402 Protocol — EIP-3009 gasless USDC payments with dual facilitator redundancy
  • Clanker SDK — One-call token deployment with Uniswap V4 pool creation
  • Uniswap V4 — Multi-hop routing for USDC → WETH → Token swaps
  • Base Network — Low fees, Coinbase ecosystem alignment

Why This Matters

Old Way (PumpFun, etc.)x402MKT Way
Insiders frontrun pre-bondEqual access via crowdfunded raise
Bots snipe launchAnti-sniper fees decay over time
Users need ETH for gasGasless USDC contributions
Opaque wallet managementTurnkey-secured isolated wallets
Creator holds all leverageContributors get pro-rata allocation

The result: Fair token launches where community contributors—not bots or insiders—capture the upside.

The Lore

The first x402MKT ecosystem token was hacked by Lazarus Group—North Korea's state-sponsored hackers.

Rather than fade into obscurity, we're rising from the ashes. The new ecosystem token will launch through x402MKT itself, with a 1:1 airdrop for all previous holders.

Same community. New infrastructure. Built different this time.

Roadmap

  • Hackathon MVP (x402 Hackathon submission)
  • Clanker SDK integration with devBuy mechanics
  • Sniper protection settings (configurable decay curves)
  • Ecosystem token launch via x402MKT
  • 1:1 airdrop for previous holders
  • Public launch + additional features

Timeline announcements coming soon.

TL;DR

x402MKT is a fair launch platform that:

  1. 1. Replaces manipulated pre-bonds with crowdfunded presales
  2. 2. Uses gasless x402 payments so users only need USDC
  3. 3. Deploys tokens to Uniswap V4 with built-in sniper protection
  4. 4. Splits tokens pro-rata to contributors—not the creator
  5. 5. 10x upside at launch with vault + airdrop configurations
  6. 6. Configurable vesting to prevent dumps or allow instant claims
  7. 7. Offers full refunds if funding goals aren't met

No more PumpFun manipulation. No more sniper extraction. Just fair launches.
