What Is Token Graduation?

Migration, we call it graduation, is when your token moves from RektHub’s bonding curve to a decentralized exchange (DEX) like Uniswap or PancakeSwap. It’s not leaving RektHub; it’s your token economy maturing into its next phase. Think of it as your token’s “graduation day” from the fair launch curve to the big leagues of DeFi liquidity.

​
When Can You Graduate?

Your token is eligible for graduation when 850 million tokens have been sold from the bonding curve.
1

850M Tokens Sold

All tradeable supply has been purchased from the curve
2

Token Marked as Bonded

Trading on the curve stops automatically
3

Liquidity Accumulated

Curve has accumulated native currency (mathematically determined by k)
4

Ready for Graduation

150M reserved tokens + accumulated liquidity ready to migrate
You cannot graduate early. The 850M requirement ensures sufficient liquidity for a healthy DEX pool and rewards creators who build genuine demand.
// Bonding state (using 1.5 ETH virtual reserve)
{
  realTokenReserves: 0,              // All 850M sold
  realNativeReserves: ~5.72 ETH,     // Determined by constant k
  reservedTokens: 150,000,000,       // Untouched supply for DEX
  accumulatedCreatorFees: ~0.75 ETH, // Your trading fees (claimable)
  status: "bonded",
  readyForGraduation: true
}
Note: Values shown use 1.5 ETH virtual reserve (production setting for ETH-based chains). Other chains with different native tokens will have equivalent amounts in their respective currencies.

​
The Graduation Process

​
1. Bonding Achieved

When the 850 millionth token is sold, your token automatically enters the “bonded” state.

Trading Stops

No more buys or sells on the bonding curve

Liquidity Locked

All accumulated native currency ready for migration

Reserved Supply

150M tokens prepared for DEX liquidity

Creator Notified

Choose your graduation destination
// Bonding event emitted
event TokenBonded(address indexed tokenAddress);

// Curve state
s_bonded = true;
s_realTokenReserves = 0;
s_realNativeReserves = ~5.72 ETH;  // For 1.5 ETH virtual reserve

​
2. Choose Your DEX

As the creator, you control where your token graduates (assuming RektHub supports that DEX).
Best for: Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, PolygonPros:
  • Deep liquidity across chains
  • Proven infrastructure
  • High trust and volume
How to choose: Consider where your community trades, which chain has lowest fees, and where you want long-term liquidity.

​
3. Migration Fee Charged

RektHub charges a 12% fee on the total liquidity being migrated. This fee is split between you and the platform. Migration Fee Breakdown (using 1.5 ETH virtual reserve example): 
// Bonding liquidity: ~5.72 ETH (determined by k)
const bondingLiquidity = 5.72;

// Calculate 12% migration fee
const migrationFee = bondingLiquidity * 0.12; // 0.69 ETH

// Split fee
const creatorShare = migrationFee * 0.6; // 0.41 ETH (60%)
const platformShare = migrationFee * 0.4; // 0.27 ETH (40%)

// Net liquidity to DEX
const liquidityToDEX = bondingLiquidity - migrationFee; // 5.03 ETH

// Your total earnings
const tradingFees = 0.75; // Accumulated during bonding
const totalEarnings = tradingFees + creatorShare; // 1.16 ETH total
Getting to bonding means you built real demand. You earned this through:
  • Community engagement
  • Marketing efforts
  • Delivering value
  • Building trust
The 60% creator share recognizes that achievement. It’s a reward for success.

​
4. Liquidity Pool Created

The remaining liquidity (5.03 ETH + 150M tokens in our example) is sent to your chosen DEX where a liquidity pool is automatically created.
Note: This flow represents the general migration model for EVM chains. Implementation details vary per chain and DEX, but the core concept remains consistent. Check chain-specific documentation for exact migration mechanisms.
1

Assets Transferred

5.03 ETH + 150M tokens sent to migrator contract
2

Pool Created

Migrator calls DEX router to create liquidity pool
3

LP Tokens Minted

DEX mints LP tokens representing pool ownership
4

LP Tokens Locked/Burned

LP tokens typically burned or locked forever (no rug pull risk)
5

Trading Opens

Token immediately tradeable on the DEX

​
5. Price Discovery After Graduation

When 150M tokens pair with the accumulated ETH on the DEX, there’s typically upward price movement. The exact multiplier depends on the accumulated liquidity and market conditions.

​
Understanding the Price Dynamics

150M tokens become available that weren’t tradeable before, often attracting new buyers.
The accumulated ETH creates confidence. Traders see real liquidity and feel comfortable entering positions.
New trading venue means new market dynamics. The DEX often finds a different equilibrium price than the curve’s final price.
This rewards early believers who bought on the curve at lower prices. They can exit into DEX liquidity at potentially higher prices.

​
Example Price Calculation

Using 1.5 ETH virtual reserve:
  • 850M tokens sold
  • ~5.72 ETH accumulated
  • Virtual reserves: ~7.22 ETH, 223M tokens
  • Final curve price: ~0.00000324 ETH per token
Important: Price multiples shown are examples using specific virtual reserve values. Actual graduation price behavior depends on your chain’s parameters, accumulated liquidity, and market conditions. These examples illustrate the concept, not guaranteed outcomes.

​
Post-Graduation

​
Your Token’s New Life

After graduation, your token:

Lives on DEX

Trades on the DEX you chose

Fees Claimable

Your accumulated fees remain claimable anytime

Creator Status

Still your token, still your creation

Independent Trading

Market determines all trading activity

​
What You Control

Update token image, description, socials anytime through RektHub

​
What You Don’t Control

Intentional protections: - Liquidity: Once migrated, liquidity is locked/burned on DEX (no rug pulls) - Trading: Anyone can trade on the DEX independently - Price: Market determines price through DEX mechanics

​
Migration Fee Structure (Detailed)

​
Base Fee: 12% of Liquidity

The fee is applied to total native currency being migrated. Migration Fee Examples (using different virtual reserves):
Virtual ReserveBonding LiquidityMigration Fee (12%)Creator Gets (60%)Platform Gets (40%)To DEX (88%)
1.5 ETH~5.72 ETH~0.69 ETH~0.41 ETH~0.27 ETH~5.03 ETH + 150M
30 ETH~114.35 ETH~13.72 ETH~8.23 ETH~5.49 ETH~100.63 ETH + 150M
6 BNB~22.87 BNB~2.74 BNB~1.65 BNB~1.10 BNB~20.13 BNB + 150M
30k MATIC~114,350 MATIC~13,722 MATIC~8,233 MATIC~5,489 MATIC~100,628 + 150M
Note: Bonding liquidity is mathematically determined by the constant product formula. Every token using the same virtual reserve will accumulate approximately the same amount at bonding.

​
Who Pays?

Nobody directly. The fee comes from the accumulated liquidity in the bonding curve. Users already contributed through trading during the bonding phase.

​
When Is It Charged?

At the exact moment of migration. The smart contract:
1

Calculate Total Liquidity

Get realNativeReserves from curve
2

Deduct 12% Fee

Calculate migration fee
3

Split 60/40

Creator gets 60%, Platform gets 40%
4

Send Remaining to DEX

88% of liquidity + 150M tokens create LP
All in one transaction. No manual steps, no delays.

​
Technical Implementation

​
Migration Function

// Simplified pseudo-code showing core logic
function migrate(address migrator) external returns (...) {
    // 1. Authorization and state checks
    require(msg.sender == s_factory, "Only factory");
    require(s_bonded && !s_graduated, "Invalid state");

    // 2. Get liquidity amounts
    uint256 nativeLiquidity = s_realNativeReserves;
    uint256 tokenLiquidity = 150_000_000 * 10**18;

    // 3. Calculate fees (12% migration, split 60/40)
    uint256 migrationFee = ...
    uint256 creatorFee = ...
    uint256 platformFee = ...
    uint256 netLiquidity = ...

    // 4. Update state and execute transfers
    s_graduated = true;
    s_accumulatedCreatorFees += creatorFee;

    // ... transfer logic
    // ... migrator call
    // ... event emission
}
This is a simplified representation. Full implementation includes error handling, event emissions, and chain-specific logic. See the complete code on GitHub for your target chain.

​
DEX Migrator Interface

Each DEX integration implements a standard migration interface. The exact interface and implementation details vary per chain and DEX. For specific migrator implementations and interfaces, check the chain integration contracts documentation for your target chain.

​
Who Triggers Graduation?

RektHub’s automated systems handle graduation once your token bonds and you’ve selected your preferred DEX. Process:
  1. Token bonds (850M sold)
  2. Creator selects preferred DEX through dashboard
  3. RektHub’s backend validates the request
  4. Migration executes automatically on-chain
  5. Creator receives confirmation
Automated migration ensures smooth execution without requiring manual contract interaction from creators. This prevents errors in high-stakes transactions while maintaining the security of your accumulated liquidity.

​
Common Questions

No. The 850M requirement is hardcoded. It ensures sufficient liquidity and fair reward for community building.
You must graduate once bonded. The bonding curve stops trading at 850M sold. Your token needs DEX liquidity to remain tradeable.
Not in one migration. You choose one DEX. After graduation, anyone can create additional pools elsewhere if they want.
They remain in your bonding curve contract. Claim anytime with claimCreatorFees(). Graduation doesn’t affect accumulated fees.
No. LP tokens are burned or locked by the migrator contract. You cannot pull liquidity.
The smart contract reverts the entire transaction. Liquidity stays in the curve, state doesn’t change, you can try again.
