FAQ
General Questions
What is a bonding curve?
A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that determines the price of a token based on its supply. As more tokens are purchased, the price increases along a predetermined curve. This creates a fair and transparent pricing mechanism for token distribution.
Why use a bonding curve instead of a traditional sale?
Fair Pricing: The market determines the value through buying pressure
No Bots: Anti-bot measures ensure fair distribution
Transparency: All pricing is on-chain and verifiable
No Dumps: Selling is disabled during the curve phase
Automatic Liquidity: Reaches target = automatic DEX listing
What happens to the USDC raised?
100% of the USDC raised goes directly into the Uniswap V4 liquidity pool paired with MEME tokens. This creates deep liquidity for trading immediately after the sale ends.
Purchase Process
How do I buy MEME tokens?
Visit the bonding curve interface on memetrade.com
Connect your wallet (MetaMask, smart wallets supported)
Enter the amount of USDC you want to spend
Review the amount of MEME you'll receive
Approve USDC (first time only)
Confirm the purchase transaction
What are the purchase limits?
Minimum: $10 USDC per transaction
Maximum: $50,000 USDC per transaction
Per Wallet: $100,000 USDC total
Cooldown: 1 minute between purchases
Can I sell my MEME tokens immediately?
No. During the bonding curve phase, only buying is enabled. Once the target is reached and liquidity migrates to Uniswap V4, full trading (buy/sell) is enabled.
What payment methods are accepted?
Only USDC on Base network is accepted. Make sure you have:
USDC tokens on Base
ETH for gas fees
Pricing & Supply
What is the starting price?
The bonding curve starts at $0.001 per MEME token.
How high can the price go?
The maximum price during the bonding curve is approximately $0.015 per MEME (15x the starting price), reached when all 100M tokens are sold.
How many tokens are available?
Bonding Curve Sale: 100,000,000 MEME (10% of total supply)
Total Supply: 1,000,000,000 MEME (1 billion)
How is the price calculated?
We use a sigmoid (S-curve) formula that starts slow, accelerates in the middle, and slows again near the end. This creates balanced price growth throughout the sale.
Target & Migration
What is the fundraising target?
The target is $750,000 USDC. Once reached, the sale automatically ends and migrates to Uniswap V4.
What happens when the target is reached?
Bonding curve closes to new purchases
Smart contract automatically:
Creates MEME/USDC pool on Uniswap V4
Adds all raised USDC
Adds 100M MEME tokens
Sets initial price to final curve price
Trading is enabled for everyone
What if the target isn't reached?
The sale continues until the target is reached. There's no time limit, ensuring we achieve proper liquidity depth.
Can the migration fail?
No. The migration is automated and tested. Once the target is reached, the contract automatically executes the migration without any manual intervention needed.
Security & Fairness
How are bots prevented?
Transaction cooldown periods
Maximum purchase limits
Gas price restrictions
No contract interactions allowed
Per-wallet limits
Is the smart contract audited?
Yes, the bonding curve contract will be audited by a reputable firm before launch. The audit report will be publicly available.
Can the team manipulate the price?
No. The price formula is fixed in the smart contract and cannot be changed once deployed. The team has no special privileges during the sale.
What about whales?
The $100,000 per-wallet limit ensures no single buyer can dominate the sale. This promotes wider distribution among the community.
Technical Details
Which blockchain?
The bonding curve operates on Base network (Layer 2), providing low fees and fast transactions.
What wallets are supported?
MetaMask
Coinbase Wallet
WalletConnect compatible wallets
Smart wallets (AA)
Do I need ETH?
Yes, you need a small amount of ETH on Base for gas fees (usually less than $1 per transaction).
Contract addresses?
All contract addresses will be published and verified before the sale begins:
MEME Token: [TBD]
Bonding Curve: [TBD]
USDC on Base: 0x833589fCD6eDb6E08f4c7C32D4f71b54bdA02913
Post-Sale
When can I start trading?
Immediately after the bonding curve reaches its target and migrates to Uniswap V4. This process is automatic and takes only a few minutes.
Will there be liquidity mining?
Yes! After the sale, liquidity providers can stake their LP tokens to earn MEME rewards. 200M MEME tokens are allocated for liquidity mining over 3 years.
What's the long-term plan?
The bonding curve is just the beginning. Funds raised will bootstrap the MEME/USDC pool, enabling:
Sustainable liquidity for the MemeTrade platform
Token holders can participate in governance
Fee sharing for MEME stakers
Platform development funding
Can I provide liquidity?
Yes! Once on Uniswap V4, anyone can add liquidity to the MEME/USDC pool and earn trading fees + liquidity mining rewards.
Risks
What are the risks?
Smart contract risk (mitigated by audit)
Price volatility after DEX listing
No refunds once purchased
Potential total loss of investment
Regulatory changes
Is this an investment?
No. MEME is a utility token for the MemeTrade platform. Purchase only if you want to participate in the ecosystem. Never invest more than you can afford to lose.
