# What BaseStonk is

> A launchpad on Base where every token trades in a real Uniswap v4 pool from its first block.

BaseStonk launches tokens on Base. There is no bonding curve and no
graduation: creating a token opens a real Uniswap v4 pool in the same
transaction, seeded with 99% of the supply, and trading starts immediately.

What you see on a BaseStonk chart is a pool price from the first candle -
not a curve that later migrates somewhere else.

## The three facts that matter

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="No curve, no graduation" icon="chart-line">
    A launch is a live Uniswap v4 pool from block one. Real liquidity,
    real price, immediately.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Liquidity cannot be pulled" icon="lock">
    The launcher contract must end every launch holding nothing - the
    transaction reverts otherwise. No admin key exists over a live pool.
    Not ours, not the creator's.
  </Card>

  <Card title="The launch price is a floor" icon="shield">
    Single-sided liquidity cannot pay out below the price the pool opened
    at. That is what makes it unruggable.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Pick what your token is priced in

Launches choose their quote asset. A token can be priced in:

* **Stables and majors** - USDC, USDT, WETH, cbBTC
* **Base-native tokens** - VIRTUAL, AERO
* **Tokenized stocks** - shares of NVIDIA, Coinbase, MicroStrategy, SpaceX
  and more, via Coinbase B20 stocks and ST0x wrapped stocks
* **\$BSTONK** - the platform's own token

A stock-paired token's chart moves with the stock: the pool holds the
equity token as its quote side, and the opening price comes from
Chainlink's official feed at execution time.

## What we cannot do

The claims above are only worth what the contracts enforce, so here is the
list of powers that do not exist:

* **We cannot touch a live pool.** No pause, no fee change, no liquidity
  withdrawal. Delisting a pair only stops *new* launches against it.
* **We cannot mint.** Launched tokens have no mint function and no owner.
* **We cannot hold your funds.** Trading is wallet-to-pool through a router
  that custodies nothing.
