Fees & System Education

PGMP is the elite token launchpad, built on PGP chain, which is using Bitcoin-secured Elastos infrastructure. We don't just provide fee structures—we provide complete system education to help you understand smart contracts, bonding curve mechanics, the graduation process, and why our platform is the most sophisticated in the market.

1. What is a Smart Contract?

A smart contract is a self-executing program that lives on the blockchain. Think of it as a digital vending machine: you put in PGA (native currency), the contract automatically executes the trade, you receive tokens instantly—no middleman, no delays, no trust required.

On PGMP, our smart contracts handle:

  • Token creation and deployment
  • Bonding curve price calculations
  • Trade execution (buy/sell)
  • Fee distribution
  • Graduation to DEX

2. Token Creation Process

Creating a token on PGMP is completely free, and the entire process takes just seconds.

Step 1: Submit Token Details

Name, symbol, description, social links. Optional: Enable MEV protection. Cost to create: 0 PGA (platform fee free, only gas fee required ~$0.01-0.04)

Step 2: Smart Contract Deploys Token

1 billion tokens created instantly. All tokens minted to trading contract. Token is immediately tradable (no waiting!)

Step 3: Pool Activation

Bonding curve starts at 0.00001 PGA per token. Price increases with each buy, decreases with each sell. Fair launch: Everyone starts at the same price.

Step 4: Trading Begins

Anyone can buy or sell immediately. No pre-sales, no insider advantages. True fair launch. The entire process takes seconds and costs only gas fees.

3. MEV Protection

MEV (Maximal Extractable Value) refers to profits that bots can extract by front-running your transactions. PGMP offers optional MEV protection to prevent this manipulation.

The Problem: Without MEV Protection

  1. You submit a buy transaction
  2. Bots see it in the mempool (pending transactions)
  3. Bots submit their own buy transaction with higher gas
  4. Bots' transaction executes first (they get better price)
  5. Your transaction executes at worse price
  6. Bots immediately sell for profit

The Solution: PGMP's MEV Protection

Creator can buy tokens in the SAME transaction as token creation. Transaction is atomic (all-or-nothing). Bots can't see it until it's already executed. No front-running possible!

  • Creator gets fair price (no bot interference)
  • Token launches with initial liquidity
  • Protects against sandwich attacks
  • Ensures fair distribution

4. Bonding Curve System

A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that determines token price based on supply. Think of it as an automatic market maker.

Key Concepts:

1. Starting Price

All tokens start at 0.00001 PGA per token. Fair launch: Everyone gets the same starting price. No pre-sales, no insider advantages.

2. Price Discovery

Price increases with each buy. Price decreases with each sell. Market-driven, not manipulated.

3. Graduation Threshold

When 15,000 PGA is locked in the contract, token automatically graduates to DEX. Permanent liquidity is created.

The Formula:

Price = (Virtual Collateral × 2) / Virtual Supply

This creates a smooth price curve that: prevents price manipulation, ensures fair distribution, supports gradual price discovery, leads to successful graduation.

5. Trading Fee Structure

Before tokens graduate to DEX, all trading occurs on the bonding curve. Our fee structure is carefully designed to support upward token trajectory and ensure creators receive fair compensation.

Buy Fee: 2.5%

  • Platform: 2.0% (Elite Infrastructure)
  • Creator: 0.5% (Project Support)

Early Access Premium: Access tokens before DEX listing. Fair launch, no pre-sales.

Sell Fee: 5.0%

  • Platform: 4.5% (Price Discovery)
  • Creator: 0.5% (Project Support)

Price Discovery Incentive: Discourages early dumping, supports successful graduation, protects your investment.

Why Higher Sell Fees?

Higher sell fees are designed to discourage early dumping, support the token's upward trajectory, and help it reach graduation threshold faster. This creates more stable price discovery and better long-term value for all holders.

  • Discourages early dumping
  • Supports graduation success
  • Protects investors
  • Creates stable price discovery

Holder Opportunity: 3-5x Growth Potential (Pre-DEX)

On average, tokens experience 3-5x growth from launch to graduation to DEX (pre-DEX). This provides tremendous opportunities for holders. Through our carefully designed fee structure, holders who don't sell early simply pay a 2.5% buy fee, and once the token graduates to DEX, there are no sell fees thereafter. After graduation, tokens receive permanent liquidity, enabling healthy trading.

How This Formula Works:

  • 5% sell fee uses game theory to discourage early selling, encourage long-term holding, and support stable upward price movement. The goal is to support projects getting to graduation.
  • 2.5% buy fee provides fair compensation for platform and creators while maintaining accessibility
  • Zero sell fees after graduation rewards successfully graduated tokens, honors future growth, and provides a fee-free trading environment for holders

This fair and special formula rewards the platform (through buy fees), discourages selling (through higher sell fees), and encourages price appreciation (by supporting tokens to reach graduation threshold). For investors who hold until graduation, they pay just one 2.5% buy fee, then enjoy zero sell fees on DEX thereafter. After graduation, tokens receive permanent liquidity, enabling healthy trading and ensuring a stable, sustainable trading environment on DEX.

6. Graduation Process

Graduation is the moment a token transitions from the bonding curve to permanent DEX liquidity. This is the core achievement of the PGMP system.

Graduation Process (Step-by-Step):

1. Threshold Reached

When 15,000 PGA is locked in contract, token is eligible for graduation.

2. Liquidity Calculation

Calculate tokens needed for DEX pair. Maintain price continuity from bonding curve. Use unsold tokens from contract.

3. Token Burning

Excess unsold tokens burned. Reduces supply for price continuity. Ensures DEX price matches bonding curve price.

4. Liquidity Creation

Create Token/PGA pair on PGA Swap DEX. Add 95% of locked PGA as liquidity. Add calculated token amount.

5. LP Token Burning (Critical)

LP tokens sent to dead address (0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD). Liquidity permanently locked. Cannot be removed (ever).

6. Treasury Fee

5% of locked PGA to platform treasury. Funds platform operations. Supports future development.

7. Graduation Complete

Token marked as graduated. Trading moves to DEX. NO MORE PLATFORM FEES (honors future growth). Permanent liquidity secured.

CRITICAL: LP Token Burn = DEX Fees Also Burned

Because LP tokens are burned (sent to dead address), any DEX trading fees generated by these tokens are unredeemable. These fees are effectively also burned, as there is no one to claim them.

This means: Permanent liquidity is not only locked, but all fees generated are permanently removed from circulation, further increasing token scarcity and value.

Why is LP Token Burning So Important?

  • Price Floor Protection: Permanently locked liquidity creates a strong price floor, preventing token price from falling to zero
  • Trusted Liquidity: Investors know liquidity cannot be removed, increasing confidence in token long-term value
  • Fee Burning: DEX trading fees are unredeemable, permanently removed from circulation, increasing scarcity
  • Anti-Manipulation Protection: Non-removable liquidity prevents whale manipulation or "rug pull" attacks

7. Post-Graduation: Zero Platform Fees

The PGMP Promise

When your token successfully graduates to DEX, PGMP removes ALL platform fees. This is our commitment to honoring the future growth of tokens that have achieved graduation, recognizing that our platform has fulfilled its role.

Why No Fees After Graduation?

1. Platform Mission Accomplished

Token reached graduation threshold. Permanent liquidity secured. Platform fulfilled its role. Time to step back and let token grow.

2. Honoring Success

Token creators succeeded. Community supported the launch. Graduation achieved. Reward: No ongoing fees.

3. Long-Term Value Creation

Tokens can grow without fee burden. Community benefits from lower costs. Sustainable tokenomics. Platform reputation enhanced.

What This Means:

  • For Graduated Tokens: No platform fees on trades. Only standard DEX fees (0.1%-0.3%). Since the majority of liquidity from bonding is the burned LP token, the majority of DEX fees = burning, supporting price appreciation. Lower costs for traders. More value for holders.
  • For the Platform: Successful graduation = Mission accomplished. Reputation for supporting projects. Long-term value over short-term fees.

8. Legacy Tokens

Legacy tokens are a different service offered by PGMP for users who want to mint and manage their own tokens independently. This is a completely different service model with no bonding curves or automatic graduation.

Legacy Token Features:

  • Full Self-Management: You have full ownership and control of the token contract. You decide all token parameters and features.
  • Custom Supply: You can set any total supply, not limited to fixed 1B tokens.
  • Optional Trading Tax: You can enable trading tax (0-25%), with taxes sent to your specified address.
  • Optional Burn Mechanism: You can enable burn per trade (0-10%), automatically reducing token supply.
  • Additional Features: Optional features like mintable, burnable, max supply limits, etc.

Fee Model: 3%

Legacy tokens use a simple 3% fee model: When creating a token, 3% of the total supply is sent to the platform admin wallet. The remaining 97% of tokens belong to you. This is the only fee for token creation.

IMPORTANT: You Must Manage Liquidity Yourself

Unlike bonding curve tokens, legacy tokens have no automatic liquidity or graduation mechanism. You must:

  • Add liquidity pairs on DEX yourself
  • Manage your own liquidity pools
  • Handle all trading and liquidity operations
  • No automatic graduation or permanent liquidity locking

When to Use Legacy Tokens?

Legacy tokens are suitable for: Projects wanting full control over tokenomics, tokens needing custom trading taxes and burn mechanisms, tokens that don't need bonding curve price discovery, projects wanting to manage liquidity themselves.

Note: Legacy tokens are a completely different service. If you want automatic liquidity, bonding curve price discovery, and automatic graduation, use standard PGMP bonding curve tokens.

9. Elastos & Bitcoin Security

PGMP is built on the PGP blockchain, secured by Elastos technology, which uses revolutionary merge-mining technology to anchor security in Bitcoin. This means your tokens are secured by Bitcoin's hash power.

What is Merge-Mining?

Merge-mining allows Elastos nodes to mine both Bitcoin and Elastos blocks simultaneously. This creates a unique security model: Bitcoin miners mine Bitcoin blocks. Same miners also mine Elastos blocks. Elastos blocks reference Bitcoin blocks. Elastos security is anchored in Bitcoin.

The Result: Elastos shares Bitcoin's security. Bitcoin's hash power secures Elastos. No additional energy consumption. Maximum security with efficiency.

10. Why Launchpads Matter
