Live on Robinhood

Create pad

Getting started

Introduction

What Padpad is and why every token gets its own launchpad.

What is Padpad

Padpad is a permissionless launchpad factory on Robinhood Chain. A creator launches a parent token and automatically receives a dedicated launchpad at its own subdomain. Every child token launched inside that launchpad is paired with the parent token through a real Uniswap v3 pool, and the liquidity position is locked.

There is no bonding curve and no internal exchange. Padpad only creates tokens, creates pools, custodies the liquidity NFT and splits the trading fees. All trading happens on Uniswap.

One sentence

Not a token, an economy you own: your token becomes the quote asset for everything launched inside your pad.

A worked example

  1. 1

    Alice creates $GENIUS

    She calls createTokenAndPad on the factory with the slug genius. A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 GENIUS is minted to her, and a launchpad is deployed and registered.

  2. 2

    genius.padpad.family goes live

    The frontend reads the Host header, extracts genius, looks it up in the registry and renders Alice’s pad. No deploy step, no DNS change per pad.

  3. 3

    Bob launches $ROBOT inside it

    Bob buys GENIUS, approves the launchpad and calls launchChild. In one transaction ROBOT is minted, a ROBOT/GENIUS pool is created and initialised at the price Bob expected, a full-range position is minted and sent to the locker.

  4. 4

    People trade ROBOT on Uniswap

    Every ROBOT trade routes through the ROBOT/GENIUS pool, so demand for ROBOT is demand for GENIUS.

  5. 5

    Fees flow back

    Anyone can call collectPositionFees. Fees are split between Bob (child creator), Alice (pad owner) and the protocol treasury, and each party claims their share from the FeeDistributor.

What the protocol guarantees

  • Mandatory pairing. A launchpad stores its parent token at initialisation. launchChild has no quote-token parameter; the pair is always child/parent.
  • Fixed supply. Every Padpad token mints exactly 1,000,000,000 × 10¹⁸ once, at initialisation, and can never mint again.
  • Real liquidity. Pools are Uniswap v3 pools created through the adapter with the single approved fee tier. Positions are full range.
  • Locked liquidity. The LP NFT is minted straight to the LiquidityLocker. Permanent locks can never be withdrawn, not even by an admin.
  • Pull-based fees. Nobody can claim another account’s fees, and total liabilities never exceed the balance held.

Quickstart

Anvil, deploy Uniswap v3 and Padpad locally, run the frontend.

Launch flow

Every step of the atomic child-launch transaction.

Integration

Read pads, create a pad and launch a child with viem or wagmi.
