TREADSTONE turns a launch into a single on-chain action and then gets out of the way. There is no bonding curve to graduate from and no waiting period. A token is a real market the moment it launches. This page walks through the launch loop, the trader flow, the creator flow, and what survives if the website goes down.
TREADSTONE runs on Robinhood Chain, an Arbitrum Orbit L2. Gas is paid in ETH. The mainnet chain ID is 4663 and the testnet chain ID is 46630.
The launch loop
A launch is one transaction that does several things atomically.
- You fill in the token identity: name, symbol, image, and optional social links. The image is pinned to IPFS so it does not depend on our servers.
- You choose the economics: the base asset for the pool (WETH or USDG), the starting price, and the initial liquidity.
- You review the trust preview: the permanent lock, the fee split, and exactly what the transaction will do.
- You sign once. The factory deploys the token from a fixed template, creates a Uniswap V3 pool directly, mints the liquidity position, and transfers that position into the locker in the same transaction.
There is no separate "launch phase" and "trading phase." The pool is a standard Uniswap V3 pool at a 1% fee tier, and it is tradeable immediately on the open DEX.
Permanent liquidity lock
The liquidity position is a Uniswap V3 position NFT. At launch it is minted with the locker contract as its recipient, so the position never sits in the factory or a personal wallet in between. Once the locker holds it, the principal cannot leave.
The locker has no function to decrease liquidity and no function to transfer the position out. This is not a timelock that expires and not an escrow someone can release. The withdrawal path does not exist in the code, which is why we call the lock permanent rather than long. You can verify this yourself: check that the locker address holds the position NFT for your token, and read the locker contract to confirm it exposes no unlock.
The trader flow
For someone buying or selling, the flow is short.
- Discover a token on the floor, where every card shows verifiable numbers: market cap, 24 hour volume, fees earned, age, and a lock badge.
- Inspect the trust signals on the token page: the locker address, the position NFT ID, the verified factory, the fee tier, and a check that the token has zero transfer tax.
- Swap. Because the pool is a normal Uniswap V3 market, you can trade it in the app, on Uniswap, or through any aggregator or bot. They all route to the same pool.
The creator flow
For a creator, the flow is two moments separated by time.
- Launch, as described above, in one transaction.
- Claim, any time after. As the pool trades, its 1% swap fees accrue to the locked position. Those fees are collected and split on-chain, and your creator share becomes a claimable balance you pull to your own wallet whenever you want.
You never have to babysit the pool. Fees accrue on their own, and the collection step is permissionless, so even if you never touch it, someone else can trigger it and your share still lands in your claimable balance.
What happens if the site goes down
Nothing that matters stops.
The website is a convenience layer over public contracts. If it is slow, unreachable, or gone entirely, the pools it created are still ordinary Uniswap V3 pools on Robinhood Chain. Trading continues on the DEX. Fee collection and creator claims still work, because both are on-chain functions you can call from a block explorer's write-contract tab or any compatible client.
This is the practical meaning of the positioning line. Launches don't pause, because the trading venue is Uniswap, not us. Fees stay claimable, because the claim is a permissionless on-chain pull. Liquidity stays locked, because the unlock function was never written. The site being up is nice. It is not load-bearing.
