How DogeFactory launches work
DogeFactory exposes two launch modes: fixed price and bonding curve. Fixed price keeps one visible token price during the live sale, explicit live fees, and settlement only after finalization. The curve path opens live pre-migration trading with variable pricing, so it offers faster price discovery but a more reactive market.
Two launcher model
What standardization reduces
The useful distinction is not that a launch becomes risk-free. It is that the two launchers reduce some token-level hard rugs while keeping the remaining market and behavior risks visible.
Shared launcher guardrail
Both launchers create tokens through the supported DogeFactory pattern instead of letting a creator bring hidden token logic. That limits hard technical rug patterns such as hidden transfer tax, creator-only blacklist behavior, blocked sells, privileged mint after launch, or surprise token switches.
Fixed-price limit
Fixed price keeps one sale price, explicit caps, DOGE-only creator support, and a clear success or refund state. It still needs sensible caps and timing because fast participants can concentrate allocation.
Bonding-curve limit
Bonding curve keeps pricing and sells inside visible curve rules before migration. It still allows early buyers to sell before migration, so market timing and demand risk remain real.
Fixed price: fixed pricing and gated trading
Fixed price keeps the sale rule set stable: one listed token price, one sale window, and one explicit finalization outcome. Buys and sell-backs use the same listed price per token during the live sale, with the live trade fee shown separately.
That makes pricing easier to read and compare across participants, but it does not solve distribution by itself. Caps, sale timing, and finalization rules still matter, and before finalization holders can exit only through the sale exit path while transfers and public trading stay locked.
Bonding curve: live pricing and live trading
A bonding curve opens trading immediately and reprices as more of the curve supply is sold. That can suit teams that want live price discovery before DEX migration and immediate transferability during the launch.
The trade-off is that earlier buyers usually build a cheaper position and can still sell before migration, so later participants face more timing sensitivity and more price movement.
Important limit
Fixed price does not magically make access equal. This path still needs caps, a bounded sale window, and a clear finalization rule so speed alone does not decide the full allocation.
Fixed Price guide
Short tutorial, benefits, and real risks
This section documents the fixed-price market sale that is live in DogeFactory today. It describes the active current user-facing behavior, not an idealized future launcher.
1. The creator sets public terms once
The launcher fixes the total supply, fixed DOGE price per token, hard cap, optional minimum raise, and optional timing or cap overrides at creation time. The hard cap is tied to selling 50% of supply to buyers, and the selected split determines the LP reserve share.
2. Every accepted reserve DOGE buys at one price
During the sale window, accepted reserve DOGE uses the same visible DOGE-per-token price. Gross buys also pay the 1.25% live trade fee, so the preview separates fee, net reserve, tokens out, and any refund.
3. Finalization decides the outcome
Once the sale ends, anyone can call finalize. On success, the canonical DogeFactory V4-like token/WDOGE pool is seeded at the fixed sale price, launch LP is burned, and swaps open after the short launch delay. On failure, the sale becomes redemption-only instead of opening a public pool.
4. Holders can exit before success is decided
Before finalization, buyers already hold tokens but cannot transfer them between wallets freely. They can still exit through the sale exit path at the fixed sale price, with the 1.25% live sell fee.
5. Creator support is DOGE-only and capped
If enabled, the creator can receive DOGE only, never free tokens. This budget is meant for first launch costs: marketing, listings, content, setup, and infrastructure. Creator DOGE support is capped at 15% to limit misuse.
Supply range
10,000,000 to 100,000,000,000 tokens
Exit path
Buyers can use the sale exit path during the live window at the fixed sale price
Live trade fee
1.25% buy fee and 1.25% sell fee before finalization
Buyer allocation
At target, 50% of total supply is sold to buyers at the fixed price
Liquidity rule
Default 100% of final net reserve seeds DEX liquidity at the fixed sale price on success; creators can explicitly choose 90% or 85% liquidity with DOGE-only support
Creator support
Optional 0%, 10%, or 15% of final net DOGE reserve; DOGE only, no free creator token allocation, capped to limit misuse
Supply edits
Changing total supply keeps the fixed price stable and scales hard cap plus minimum raise so the sale still targets 50% buyer inventory
DEX output
Success opens swaps only after the launch delay
Unused inventory
Unused fixed-price token inventory is removed from circulation after success or failed-sale redemptions
Advanced limits
Wallet limit and transaction limit are off by default. The public form uses a 0.001 DOGE minimum buy unless customized.
Defaults
Start at creation, 48 h from creation time, no wallet or tx cap unless set. Public availability extensions are capped at 7 days total.
Quick creator tutorial
Step 1
Choose a launch model preset or Custom target. The frontend converts the USD target into the DOGE objective and updates the related fixed sale values.
Step 2
Fill token identity first: name, symbol, then choose Built-in profile or Custom metadata JSON. Custom metadata ignores built-in description, media, socials, and cover while it is active.
Step 3
If using the built-in profile, add the short description, primary logo/media, optional cover image, and public socials. Primary media can be video; cover remains image/GIF only.
Step 4
Review sale parameters: total supply, fixed price, minimum raise, raise target, and the sale window. If supply changes, the form keeps fixed price stable and scales the raise target so the sale still targets 50% buyer inventory.
Step 5
Pick the success split: 100% liquidity, 90% liquidity with 10% DOGE creator support, or 85% liquidity with 15% DOGE creator support. The creator receives DOGE only, never free tokens.
Step 6
Only enable advanced limits when you need them. Wallet limit and transaction limit are off by default, and the public form uses a 0.001 DOGE minimum buy by default.
Step 7
By default the sale starts when the token is created and runs for 48 hours from creation time.
Step 8
If a scheduled start time is already in the past when the creator submits, the public frontend treats it as an immediate start instead of shortening the default 48h window by accident.
Step 9
Review the right-side launch summary, then create the token launch. Upload signature is requested only during creation, not while typing.
Quick participant tutorial
Step 1
Check the fixed price per token, hard cap, optional minimum raise, live trade fee, and sale window before sending DOGE.
Step 2
Use the live preview as the minimum accepted output. If another transaction changes the remaining cap before yours lands, the protected transaction should revert instead of accepting a worse fill.
Step 3
Buy during the live window. You can be partially refunded immediately only if your transaction exceeds the remaining reserve headroom.
Step 4
If you want to leave early, you can use the sale exit path during the live window and pay the live sell fee. You cannot transfer to another wallet or trade on a public pool yet.
Step 5
After finalization and the short launch delay, the DEX pool opens on success. If the sale fails, holders redeem their token share from the sale net reserve.
Why teams choose fixed price
Risks and trade-offs
If the fixed-price sale succeeds
Once the sale is complete, finalization opens the post-sale market at the fixed sale price after the launch delay. At target, 50% of supply has gone to buyers, transfers unlock, protocol fees apply, configured DOGE-only creator support is paid, and unused token inventory is removed from circulation.
If the fixed-price sale fails
If the sale finishes below the configured minimum raise, or with zero reserve, it finalizes as failed. Holders then redeem back to DOGE from the sale net reserve, protocol fees remain protocol fees, no DEX pool is opened, and remaining token inventory is removed from circulation.
Bonding Curve guide
How curve launches work, with the main trade-offs
This section describes the bonding-curve mode that is still available in DogeFactory. Trading stays live before migration, tokens transfer immediately, and price moves with demand. That also means entry and exit conditions change over time, so participants need to watch repricing, timing, and the DEX launch target more closely than in fixed price.
1. The creator fixes the curve setup once
The launcher fixes total supply, a curve / LP preset, automatic starting price, automatic price curve, and DEX launch target at creation time. The technical curve parameter is calculated for the creator rather than exposed as a public setting.
2. Trading is live from the start
Buys receive tokens immediately, standard ERC-20 transfers remain possible, and sells stay open during the curve phase. This is not a locked sale window like fixed price: the market is already live before migration.
3. DEX launch depends on live curve value
DEX launch starts when the live curve value reaches the configured target. A buy that would cross the target is capped at the trigger, unused DOGE is refunded, and the DEX pool is seeded at the terminal curve price.
4. Migration seeds the DEX and burns LP
Once migration triggers, liquidity is moved into the DEX, a short trading delay applies, and the launch LP is burned.
Supply range
10,000,000 to 100,000,000,000 tokens
Curve / LP presets
Public launches use exact token-inventory presets and calibrate the DEX pool to the terminal curve price
Starting price
Set automatically by the selected preset so creators do not tune the opening curve math manually
DEX launch target
Exact DOGE by default, with a compact USD intent helper for quick USD-based conversion
USD intent cap
USD intent is capped at $10,000,000 before conversion to the DOGE target
Transaction protection
Public curve buys and sells enforce the previewed minimum output with a short deadline
Trade fees
1.25% buy, 1.25% sell, with 100% of each trade fee routed to protocol
Minimum buy
0.001 DOGE on the live bonding curve
Transfers
Curve buyers receive standard ERC-20 tokens immediately, so wallet-to-wallet transfers remain possible before migration
Raise-size presets
Large raise puts more tokens on the curve for a larger target. Standard raise is the middle lane. Starter raise keeps more token reserve for DEX liquidity after a smaller curve phase.
Automatic price curve
The form calculates the price curve from the selected preset and DEX launch target. That reduces the chance of an overly aggressive repricing profile when creators do not want to tune technical parameters manually.
What happens if you push the value too high
If the DEX launch target cannot be reached with the chosen supply, automatic starting price, automatic price curve, and preset split, the launcher rejects the configuration instead of allowing a dead-end curve.
What happens if the curve is too aggressive
The curve reprices faster, earlier buyers get a larger advantage, later buyers pay up more quickly, and pre-migration sell pressure becomes harder to defend publicly.
Quick creator tutorial
Step 1
Choose a total supply and start from one of the current token-inventory presets: Large raise 80/20, Standard raise 75/25, or Starter raise 70/30.
Step 2
Review the automatic starting price and the price curve calculated from the selected preset.
Step 3
Set a DEX launch target that the calculated price path can actually reach automatically. If it is too high, the launcher blocks creation.
Step 4
Review the warning that earlier buyers can still sell during the live curve phase before migration.
Quick participant tutorial
Step 1
Check the automatic starting price, projected later price, DEX launch target, and the live sell risk before buying.
Step 2
Use the preview as the bound for the signed transaction: public buys and sells include a minimum output and short deadline.
Step 3
Understand that the same DOGE amount buys fewer tokens as more of the curve supply is sold.
Step 4
Remember that earlier buyers can sell back into the curve before migration, so later buyers can still be exit liquidity.
Step 5
After migration, the token moves into DEX liquidity and the launch LP is burned.
Why teams still use a curve
Risks and warnings
Before migration
The token trades directly on the curve. Buyers receive standard ERC-20 tokens immediately, can transfer them, and can also sell them back into the curve before migration.
After migration
Curve liquidity moves to the DEX, the launch LP is burned, and a short trading delay reduces instant first-block sniping.
Launch design
How DogeFactory launches are structured
No mint after launch
Creators choose the initial supply once at launch, inside the supported 10M to 100B range. No hidden admin mint path is kept afterward, and unused fixed-price inventory can only reduce supply through burn.
All tokens are sold at the same price
During the sale window, every buy and sell-back uses the same visible DOGE-per-token price. The preview shows what the user actually receives, with any small platform fee already reflected.
No surprise token controls
Launch tokens ship without tax, blacklist, pause, or creator-side admin switches.
LP burned after finalization
The launch LP is burned once the sale finalizes and seeds the DEX, so that bootstrap liquidity cannot be pulled back out by the launcher.
Wallet and transaction caps are visible
Per-wallet and per-transaction DOGE caps are fixed at creation. The UI exposes them directly so users know the buy envelope before signing.
Buy and sell stay open, but transfers stay locked
Users can buy or sell back through the sale contract during the live window. Free transfers and public pool trading only open after finalization.
No free creator tokens
The creator can receive a limited DOGE-only support budget, but no free token allocation. Matching token inventory goes to buyers, DEX liquidity, or burn.
Strong LP reserve on success
The fixed-price market sale sends 85% to 100% of final net DOGE reserve into DEX liquidity on success. If enabled, creator DOGE support is capped at 15% to avoid abuse.
Failure stays redemption-only
If the sale finalizes below its minimum raise, no DEX pool opens. Holders redeem sale tokens back to DOGE and can claim any remaining sale credits from the contract.

DogeFactory launches include an exit path depending on the launch type. Fixed-price sales can support sell-back before finalization. During the fixed-price sale, users can buy and sell back through the sale contract at the same token price. Previews show what the user actually receives before signing, while tokens stay non-transferable and public trading stays locked until the DEX opens at finalization.
Read the fixed-price guide ->Metadata URI: simple public examples
This field is optional. If you use it, paste the URL of a metadata JSON file over HTTPS or IPFS so wallets and explorers can show a richer token profile.
What to paste in the field
Paste the URL of the metadata JSON file. Do not paste the logo file URL directly, and do not paste a social profile URL.
Simple HTTPS example
https://example.com/tokens/mega-doge/metadata.json
Simple IPFS example
ipfs://bafybeigdyrztu5examplecid1234567890abcdef/metadata.json
Minimal JSON example
{
"name": "Mega Doge",
"symbol": "MEGA",
"description": "Community token launched on DogeFactory.",
"image": "https://example.com/tokens/mega-doge/logo.png"
}Quick rules
Use the JSON URL in the form, not the image URL. Inside that JSON, keep it simple: name, symbol, description, image.
If you use HTTPS, the image can also be HTTPS. If you use IPFS, the image can be HTTPS or ipfs:// as long as the JSON stays readable by clients.
The metadata is fixed at launch, so check the link once before you submit.
Back to create token ->Built-in media upload security
If you use the built-in launcher profile flow instead of a custom metadata URL, DogeFactory prepares and stores the media through a controlled publication path. The points below describe user-facing behavior, not internal implementation details.
Wallet auth before upload
Launch metadata uploads require creator wallet confirmation during creation. The app does not open an upload session while the creator is only typing in the form.
Images are normalized
Image uploads are normalized before publication so public token pages use prepared assets rather than raw user files.
Videos are prepared for display
Video uploads are prepared for public token pages with a consistent display profile.
Published assets use controlled names
Published media uses controlled asset names and prepared output rather than arbitrary user-provided filenames.
Current upload rules
Routing and trust policy
Visibility is not the same thing as a recommendation. DogeFactory can show a token in search, discovery, pools, or wallet views before a usable pool, route, or scan context exists.
Official launcher tokens
Tokens created through the official DogeFactory launch flow can receive a clearer trust mark when the launch reaches the required state.
DogeOS external discovery
External tokens from the DogeOS active list can appear in discovery, but they stay observed unless DogeFactory records clearer context or blocks a critical risk.
Initial network list
Fresh testnet environments can start with WDOGE plus reviewed known assets such as USDT, USDC, USD1, WETH, WBTC, TDOGE, and TUSD when they are available on the network.
Public swap and LP enforcement
Public swaps and LP actions are open for non-blocked tokens when liquidity and runtime checks pass. Critical-risk tokens can be blocked from swaps and new liquidity.
Updates without redeploy
Trust-state and blacklist changes can be reflected in the public app without rebuilding the swap interface. Users should still read the visible status before signing.
Bonding curve mechanics
1. Supply is chosen once at launch
A creator picks the final supply at creation time inside the supported 10M to 100B range. The launch flow is designed to avoid hidden supply changes or hidden transfer restrictions.
2. Price discovery happens on an automatic curve
DogeFactory uses preset curve profiles: creators choose a curve/LP split and DEX launch target. The starting price and price curve are calculated automatically, and the current curve profile applies a 1.25% trading fee on buys and sells before migration.
3. Migration is automatic once the target is reached
When the DEX launch target is reached, the launch liquidity is moved into a DEX pair automatically. There is no manual switch needed from the creator to enable the market.
4. Initial LP is burned after migration
The initial migration liquidity is locked away from the launcher after migration, so users can reason about the first public market more clearly.
What you can verify before using the curve path
These checks are visible from the launch page and public metadata, but they do not replace normal risk review. Users should still inspect liquidity, distribution, social links, and market behavior before trading.
