The basics

Octopad launches coins on Ink with arms: trading rules built into the pool itself, like anti-sniper, exit tax, king of the hill, market hours and more. Each coin trades against the asset you pick, ETH, USDC, kBTC, a memecoin or a real stock like NVIDIA or Apple. One transaction. Liquidity locked forever.

Octopad in 30 seconds

  1. Give it arms. Up to 6 of the 15 trading rules. They run on every swap, and once they grip, nobody can pry them loose.
  2. Pick a pair. Your coin trades against it from its first block: $DOGE / ETH, $DOGE / ANITA, $DOGE / wNVDAx.
  3. Sign once. A fixed supply coin is deployed, a Uniswap v4 pool opens against your pair, and the whole supply goes into that pool.
  4. The market takes over. Buyers bring the pair asset. Price rises with every buy, with no ceiling. Nobody can pull the liquidity, not you, not us.
  5. Every trade pays a fee. You keep 80% of it, forever, in the pair asset. The other 20% goes to Octopad, to buy back and burn $INKY.

What's different

Rules in the poolSnipers, whales and quick flips are handled by the pool itself, on every swap, through any router or bot. No promises to trust: the rules are code.
Any pairElsewhere, everything is priced in the gas token. Here your coin can trade against USDC, kBTC, a meme or a stock.
Stocks, nativelyInk has real tokenized stocks: NVIDIA, Apple, Tesla, the S&P 500 and more, as Backed's xStocks (distributed through Kraken), each with a market on Uniswap. Pick one as your pair. Everyone still pays in ETH.
Zero capitalOnly your coin goes into the pool. You bring none of the pair asset.
Locked for goodThe pool position belongs to a vault with no withdraw function. No rug is possible.
Fees in the pair assetYour 80% arrives in ETH, USDC, wNVDAx or whatever you paired with. Never in your own coin, so nothing is sold on your chart.
A real marketThe launch opens straight on Uniswap v4. No curve to graduate from.

Nothing here is audited. The contracts are tested against live chain state by the people who wrote them. The liquidity lock is final. Size your launch accordingly.
