How it works

From idea to live market in a single transaction.

1. Launch​

Pick a name, ticker, and image, choose what your token trades against — WETH, USDG, or a Robinhood Stock Token — and launch. Every current Robinhood Stock Token is selectable; an individual launch can be temporarily unavailable during a trading halt or corporate action. In one transaction:

  • Your token deploys with a fixed 1 billion supply. No mint function, no owner, no surprises.
  • A SushiSwap V3 pool is created and initialized at a ~$5K starting market cap.
  • 100% of the supply goes onto the curve as liquidity. No team allocation, no presale, no insiders.
  • The LP position is deposited into the locker — an immutable contract with no withdrawal function. The liquidity is there forever.

Want skin in the game at launch? Add an optional dev buy in the same transaction — atomically, at the starting price, visible to everyone.

Launch from a signed-in Bankr trading wallet or from a connected wallet. See For creators for wallet eligibility, launch limits, and what each path pays.

2. Trade​

Your token is a standard ERC-20 in a standard SushiSwap V3 pool. Trade it on pools.fun, route it through any aggregator, hold it in any wallet. Every swap pays the pool's 1% fee — and that fee is the engine that powers everything else.

3. Earn​

On new pools, fees are split when collected: 90% to the creator, 5% to the Bankr treasury, and 5% to the $BNKR buyback wallet. Creators claim with one click, any time, as often as they like.

Assets in the buyback wallet are used to buy and burn $BNKR. Allocation to the wallet is not itself an executed purchase or burn. Pools launched under the legacy contracts keep the split they recorded at launch.

A creator can instead choose, at launch, to send the creator share to the token's holders. See Fees to holders.

The launch curve​

Launches start at a ~$5K fully-diluted valuation. The full supply sits in three locked V3 positions that give every launch the same shape:

  • Ignition pocket: 3% of supply between the start and 4x (~$5K to ~$20K). A few hundred dollars prints the first 4x, and 3% is all a first buyer can take before the price reaches the backbone.
  • Backbone: 95% of supply in one uniform position from 4x to 240,000x (~$20K to ~$1.2B). Depth grows smoothly with market cap, with no thin zones on the way up.
  • Tail: 2% above that.

This is the same curve Bankr launches use, so early buyers get real price discovery instead of a pre-pumped chart. Because it's a real V3 pool, the market does the rest.
