🪙How to Create a Pool/LBP
basedbid enables you to launch cryptocurrency tokens with custom market caps. Your token trades on our bonding curve system until reaching your target market cap, then automatically graduates to major exchanges like Raydium or PancakeSwap
You can also configure the Fee Builder to capture ongoing trading revenue, fund buybacks and burns, reward holders or direct fees to a marketing or custom wallet. There are also optional DEX protections available

DEX Settings
DEX:
Select your DEX from the supported options
Choose between v3 or v4/Infinity
v3: Fixed transaction fee of 1%
v4/Infinity: Choose your transaction fee. 1–10% on EVM, 1–6% on SOL Example: 2% (token owner earns this fee on every transaction once graduated to a DEX)
Fee Tier (If you choose v4, Infinity or SOL):
EVM
Choose between 1-10%
This is independent from the fee builder in the next section
SOL
Raydium: 0-4%
Meteora: 0-6%
This fee acts as the total fee for the Fee Builder in the next section
Market Cap:
This is the market cap target your token must reach to graduate to your chosen DEX (e.g. Raydium)
Choose between $11,000 and $10M Example: $9,000
The figure below the dollar amount shows the total SOL/ETH/BNB needed in buys to graduate the pool
Fee Builder (Signature)
Fee Builder: Enable this to control where your DEX fee goes. The maximum fee is 10% on EVM, 4% for Raydium and 6% for Meteora
Distribution Trigger: The fee builder will send out fees/rewards/etc once the wallet has collected over this amount Example: 0.1 SOL
Once enabled, choose which destinations your fee is sent to. Click each one to activate it:
Creator (Enabled by default): Fees are sent to the creator of the pool Example: 1% of every transaction is sent to the creator wallet
Rewards: Holders earn a percentage of the fee just by holding your token. On EVM you can choose between the native asset (ETH) or USDC. On SOL the rewards are sent in whichever token you selected for distribution Example: 2% of every transaction goes back to holders in SOL
Buyback: A percentage of the fee is used to automatically buy back your token Example: 1% of every transaction is used to buy back and burn supply
Liquidity: A percentage of the fee is sent directly to your liquidity Example: 1% of every transaction deepens your liquidity
Marketing: A percentage of the fee is sent to a wallet of your choice. You must include a wallet address Example: 2% of every transaction funds your marketing wallet
Custom: Send a portion of the fee to any wallet, useful for development funds or partnerships. You must include a wallet address. You can have an unlimited amount of these Example: 2% of every transaction funds your development wallet
Distribution token (SOL only): This is the token that will be sent out as rewards or to the marketing wallet for example Example: SOL
Advanced Protection (EVM only)
All fee decreases, increases and penalties relate to the "fee builder" fee only
Tiered Fees:
Applies a fee multiplier based on trade size. Large buys get a fee discount, large sells get a fee increase. All four rules run simultaneously when enabled
Buys over 5% = 25% fee decrease
Buys over 10% = 40% fee decrease
Sells over 5% = 25% fee increase
Sells over 10% = 40% fee increase
Tiered Fees and Dynamic Fees cannot be enabled at the same time
Dynamic Fees:
When enabled, your transaction fee automatically increases when your token's price is moving up and down rapidly. You can trigger this either per swap, where one large trade sets it off or per block, where the combined impact of all trades in that block sets it off
Volatility Multiplier: How much the fee increases. Choose from Small (0.5x), Medium (3x), or Large (5x) Example: Medium (3x)
Trigger: Per swap checks each trade individually. Per block checks all trades in that block combined Example: Per Swap
Volatility Decay Period: How quickly the fee drops back to normal. Choose from Very Short (1 min), Short (10 min), Medium (1 hr), or Long (6 hrs) Example: Short (10 min)
Cool Down Protection:
When enabled, wallets that buy repeatedly within a set time period are charged a penalty fee
Cooldown Duration: The minimum time between buys before a penalty is applied. Choose from 1 second, 10 seconds, 1 minute or 1 hour Example: 10 seconds
Penalty Fee: The percentage of the transaction a buyer loses if they buy within the cooldown period. Choose from 0.01%, 0.1%, 1%, 3% or 10% Example: 1%
Snipe Protection:
When enabled, early buys after launch are limited to a set percentage of your supply, preventing snipers from buying large amounts at launch
Protect Period: How long after launch the limit is active. Choose from 1 minute, 10 minutes or 1 hour Example: 10min
Max Buy: The maximum percentage of supply a wallet can buy within the protect period. Choose from 0.01%, 0.1%, 1% or 10% Example: 1%
MEV Protection:
Enable this to protect your token from front-running and sandwich attacks Note: this may cause compatibility issues with some trading bots or swap interfaces
Initial Buy Amount
Choose the percentage of total supply you want to buy at launch as the creator
Choose anywhere between 0-80.2%
Buying the full 80.2% skips the bonding curve and instantly graduates your token to the DEX Clicking the DEX logo will automatically set it to 80.2%
LBP Settings
Total Supply:
This is the maximum number of tokens that will ever exist
Choose between our pre-set options or select a custom amount Example: 1,000,000,000
Decimal:
Controls how many decimal places your token can be divided into
For SOL: If the supply of your token will be 2 billion or less we recommend a token decimal of 9, if it is more than 2 billion we recommend a token decimal of 6
For EVM: 9 or 18 are most common
Choose between our pre-set options or select a custom amount Example: 9
Sale Start Time
By default, your pool goes live immediately at creation
Enable this to schedule your pool to go live at a later date and time Example: Set it to start in 2 days time
Fee Configuration
This refers to the fees while its trade on basedbid:
Buy Pool Creator Fee: As the pool creator, you earn this on every buy while trading on basedbid Example: 0.5% (Every buy transaction the pool owner will receive 0.5% on basedbid) Min: 0% - Max: 1%
Sell Pool Creator Fee: As the pool creator, you earn this on every sell while trading on basedbid Example: 0.5% (Every sell transaction the pool owner will receive 0.5% on basedbid) Min: 0% - Max: 1%
Buy Referral Fee: This is the amount of a buy, a referrer receives once someone they referred buys your sale Example: 1% (Someone you refer buys $100,000, you receive $1,000) Min: 0% - Max: 1%
Graduation Fee: As the pool creator, you earn this as a percentage of total liquidity when your token graduates Example: 1% (If the total liquidity is $1,00,000, once your token graduates you will receive $10,000) Min: 0% - Max: 2.5%
Single Buyer Limit
By default, buyers can purchase as much of your token as they like
Enable this to cap how much of the total supply a single wallet can buy Example: 1% this means if the supply is 100m, a single wallet can only buy 1m tokens
Delay Trade Time
By default, buys and sells go through instantly
Enable this to add a delay between transactions for the same wallet Example: 900 seconds (This means once someone buys your token they won't be able to sell for 15 minutes)
Note: this is only when the token is traded on basedbid
This is not available on Solana
Soft Cap Protection
By default, your project only graduates once the hard cap is reached
However, if you enable this option, your project will graduate once the soft cap is met and the timer has elapsed, even if the hard cap isn't reached
Example: With a 10% soft cap and 2-day timer on a 1 ETH hard cap:
Soft cap = 0.1 ETH
Timer starts when pool launches (not when soft cap is reached)
Project graduates after 2 days if market cap is more than 0.1 ETH
Whitelist Access
By default, all basedbid pools are open to the public
Enable this to restrict buying to whitelisted addresses only
You can also set a buy limit per whitelisted wallet Example: 1% this means if the supply is 100m, a single whitelisted wallet can only buy 1m tokens
