🚀ARTICLE II: THE LAUNCHPAD

America.Fun is hereby established as a permissionless token launchpad and onchain ecosystem operating on the Solana blockchain.

It shall serve as public infrastructure for the creation, launch, and discovery of onchain projects within America.Fun.

Ameria.Fun does not curate outcomes. It curates conditions.

SECTION ONE: CORE FEATURES

a. Fairness and Ease of Use

The Launchpad shall be designed such that any person may create and launch a token quickly and under ordinary conditions, a token may be launched in less than one minute.

b. The One-Ticker Rule

Once claimed and graduated, a ticker shall not be reused, duplicated, or impersonated.

America.Fun reserves the right to delist inactive or abandoned tokens and, under defined conditions, recycle such tickers in order to preserve fun within the ecosystem.

c. Quality over Quantity

The Launchpad shall favor deliberate creation over spam. A deployment fee of $200 shall be required to launch a token, serving as a safeguard against automated abuse and low-effort deployments.

This measure exists not to restrict builders, but to protect the public square.

d. Identity at the Contract Level

At the time of writing, all token contracts launched through America.Fun end with the suffix “USA”.

This convention exists to establish provenance, discourage impersonation, and reinforce a shared identity across the ecosystem.

SECTION TWO: HOW LAUNCHES WORK ON AMERICA.FUN

a. Initial Launch (Pre-Graduation).

Each token launch begins under a bonding-curve mechanism: a deterministic, onchain pricing model where price is a direct function of real capital entering the system.

Under the bonding curve:

• When participants purchase the token, new tokens are minted and the price rises along a predefined mathematical curve.

• As demand increases, price increases proportionally.

• Participants may also sell back into the curve, allowing the market to self-correct around genuine interest.

• Each trade also contributes a small fee, which flows back into the ecosystem to support buybacks and revenue distribution to AOL (America.Fun's official token) stakers.

This bonding-curve stage acts as a pre-market price discovery mechanism. It’s where tokens prove themselves.

If a token reaches the prescribed graduation threshold within the allotted timeframe (6h), it shall be deemed to have earned its place among freely tradable assets. Graduation Information: Graduation marketcap: ~ $60,000

At that moment, graduation occurs.

b. Graduation

Upon graduation, America.Fun shall automatically execute the following actions:

• Establish a new liquidity pool on Meteora, pairing the token against $USD1;

• Seed said pool using the liquidity accumulated during the launch phase;

• Permanently burn the resulting LP tokens, thereby locking base liquidity in perpetuity.

Graduation is not guaranteed. It is earned.

c. Failure to Graduate

If a project fails to reach the prescribed graduation threshold within the allotted timeframe, it shall be deemed unsuccessful in its attempt.

In such case:

• The launch shall conclude without graduation; and

• The associated ticker shall be released back into circulation, made available for future creators to claim.

This process ensures that symbols are not hoarded, opportunity is recycled, and no failed attempt permanently occupies space better suited for the next builder.

SECTION THREE: TICKERS, BADGES, AND BATTLE MODE

a. The One Ticker Rule (Clarified)

America.Fun enforces a One Ticker Rule at graduation, not at creation.

Multiple tokens may temporarily exist using the same ticker during the pre-graduation phase. This is intentional and reflects real market competition, not centralized approval.

Only one token per ticker may ultimately graduate.

Graduation is what confers legitimacy.

b. Battle Mode

When multiple tokens share the same ticker, are live at the same time and / or have not yet graduated, they enter Battle Mode.

Battle Mode represents open, onchain competition:

• No favoritism

• No intervention

• The market decides

All Battle Mode tokens remain tradable during the bonding-curve phase. The first token to meet the graduation threshold earns the ticker.

c. Badges

America.Fun uses visual badges to reflect a token’s status in the ecosystem.

Battle Mode Badge Applied to tokens competing under the same ticker or simply during pre-graduation. This signals an active ticker contest.

Golden Ticker Badge Awarded to the single token that graduates. This token becomes the canonical representation of the ticker on America.Fun.

Failed Attempt Badge Applied to tokens that do not graduate. These tokens remain visible as historical attempts but do not retain ticker priority.

Badges are informational, not endorsements, and may be updated or removed as platform mechanics evolve.

d. Post-Battle Outcomes

• The graduating token:

  • Retains the ticker permanently

  • Receives the Golden Ticker badge

  • Moves into post-graduation trading

• Non-graduating tokens:

  • Do not retain ticker rights

  • May be delisted or archived

  • Do not block future attempts

This ensures:

• Tickers are not hoarded

• Ideas can be tested openly

• Only conviction survives

EVOLUTION

America.Fun is a living system. America wasn’t built in a day — and neither is America.Fun.

Mechanics, thresholds, parameters, and integrations may evolve in response to market conditions, security considerations, or ecosystem growth.
