Launcher

Launching deploys your token contract and deposits its entire supply, in one transaction, as a single-sided liquidity position in a Uniswap v4 pool. That position is minted straight to a dead address and burned forever, not locked in a contract and not held back by the protocol. There is no ETH required to launch and no bonding curve to wait through: trading opens immediately.

Trading tax

You choose a base tax between 1% and 10%, applied to both buys and sells. A shared hook contract dynamically cycles that rate against fixed tiers on every trade so tax isn't static:

• Buys cycle in fours: base, base, 4%, 2%, then repeat.
• Sells cycle in sixes: base, base, 10%, 4%, 3%, 2%, then repeat.

The protocol takes no cut of this tax. Every bit of it accrues to you in ETH and is claimable at any time from your token's tax page.

Anti-snipe whitelist

For the first 4 seconds after launch, any buy from a wallet that isn't on your whitelist is taxed a flat 50%, sent entirely to the protocol treasury rather than to you. This is a bot deterrent, not a revenue source. You can add up to 20 wallets to the whitelist before launching; the list is immutable once the token is live.

Optional dev buy

You can buy up to 5% of total supply atomically at launch, in the same transaction that creates the pool. This buy is tax-free and hard-capped on chain, so it can never exceed the 5% limit regardless of what the UI estimates.

Where the Uniswap v4 factory isn't live yet

On chains where Hooken's own factory hasn't been deployed yet, launches automatically fall back to a Doppler-powered flow instead: a Dutch-auction bonding curve priced in ETH that migrates into a permanently locked, fee-autocompounding Uniswap v4 pool once it graduates. That flow uses a fixed platform fee and a smaller, streamed creator share of ongoing LP fees rather than the dynamic tax and full LP burn described above. Hooken's own factory is live on Robinhood Chain today and expanding to more chains.

Token pages

Every launch gets a dedicated page with a live chart, trade history, holder activity, and, for the creator, a dashboard to claim accrued tax revenue.
