How a frozen launch works.
The short version
A Glacipop coin is an ordinary token with an ordinary Uniswap v4 pool. The only unusual part is the pool's hook: it charges a swap fee that starts high at the launch block and falls in a straight line to 1%.
The melt curve
The creator picks two numbers when freezing a coin: the frozen fee (20%, 35%, 50%) and the melt time (10, 30, 60 minutes). From then on the fee at any moment is:
Example with a 35% freeze melting over 30 minutes:
| Minutes after launch | Swap fee | Fee on a Ξ0.1 buy |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | 35.0% | Ξ0.0350 |
| 1 | 33.9% | Ξ0.0339 |
| 5 | 29.3% | Ξ0.0293 |
| 10 | 23.7% | Ξ0.0237 |
| 20 | 12.3% | Ξ0.0123 |
| 30 | 1.0% | Ξ0.0010 |
| 45 | 1.0% | Ξ0.0010 |
Where the fees go
Every fee is taken in ETH. 90% goes to the coin's creator and 10% to Glacipop — the same split during the melt and after it. There is no separate "launch tax" wallet and no fee that only the platform sees.
What is fixed at launch
- Supply: 1,000,000,000, minted once.
- The frozen fee and the melt time. Nobody — creator or platform — can change or restart them.
- The starting liquidity. It is placed by the launch contract and there is no function that withdraws it.
What it does not do
- It does not block wallets, cap buys or whitelist anyone. Everyone can trade from the first block.
- It does not make a coin safe or valuable. It only changes who pays for being first.
Status
The contracts are in development. Nothing is deployed and there is no Glacipop token address yet — when there is, it will be published here and on our own channels only.
