Fair-launch mechanics

"Fair launch" on Titan means something specific and verifiable: no pre-mine, no team allocation, no whitelist, and no price the deployer can set for themselves that the public doesn't get. This page describes the exact mechanics, all of which are enforced by the deployer contract — TitanV3DeployerNative on Robinhood Chain — rather than by policy.

Supply and starting price

Every token mints exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens with 18 decimals, all of it deposited into the Uniswap V3 pool as one-sided liquidity. The pool's initial tick prices the full supply at a fixed starting market cap of 1 ETH, quoted in WETH — 0.000000001 ETH (1 gwei) per token. The cap is denominated in ETH itself, so no price oracle is involved. Nobody holds tokens before the pool exists, so the first buyer and the creator face the same price.

Why one-sided liquidity

A one-sided Uniswap V3 position holds only tokens (no WETH) across a price range starting at the launch price. Buys pull tokens out of the range and leave WETH in it; sells do the reverse. This is what makes a curveless fair launch possible: the pool needs no seed capital from the creator, yet it is a fully standard Uniswap V3 pool from block one — compatible with routers, aggregators, and portfolio trackers with zero special-casing.

The permanent liquidity lock

The launch transaction locks the position NFT in the Titan Locker vault — the same audited locker that secures LP for other projects — on a rolling 100-year lock. The deployer contract contains no claim or withdraw function of any kind: not for the creator, not for the treasury, not for the team. The only lock operation that exists is extendLock, which anyone may call and which can only push the unlock another 100 years out. The liquidity cannot be pulled, which removes the classic rug vector. What remains claimable is only the trading fees the position earns, and those flow through the deployer's fee split.

Dev buys are public swaps

A creator can optionally buy in the launch transaction itself (a "dev buy"). This is not an allocation: it is a normal swap against the fresh pool at the public opening price, fully visible on-chain and tagged with a DEV badge in every Titan interface. The creator pays like any other trader — in ETH, sent with the launch transaction itself, so there is no approval step. They simply trade first, at the same price the second buyer gets.
