# Introduction

> What InkyPump is, how launches work, and where to start.

InkyPump is an on-chain launch platform on Ink and Robinhood. A token first trades against its bonding curve, then moves to its own Uniswap V4 pool when the curve reaches its target.

## What you can do

| Action | Start here |
| - | - |
| Create a native Ink token | [Ink create page](https://inkypump.com/ink/create) |
| Trade a token | [InkyPump](https://inkypump.com) or its chain-specific trade page |
| Integrate token creation | [Launchpad Quickstart](/integrations/launchpad-quickstart) |
| Add xStocks launches | [xStocks Launches](/integrations/xstocks-launches) |
| Read tokens and activity | [Read and Index](/integrations/read-and-index) |
| Earn creator fees | [Creator Earnings](/token-creation/creator-earnings) |

## How a launch works

1. The creator picks the token metadata and curve settings.
2. The creator's wallet calls the active hook for that network and quote asset.
3. The token trades on the curve. Current curve deployments charge 1 percent protocol fee and 1 percent variable fee.
4. When the target is reached, the hook creates and seeds the launch's V4 pool.
5. Trading continues through that exact pool key.

Native launches use native ETH as their quote. xStocks launches use the selected non-rebasing wrapper as their quote. A USD mark can enrich the interface, but it does not create, price, or settle the on-chain curve.

## More than one V2 deployment exists

V2 is the current architecture, but it is not one permanent address. Active, deprecated, native, and per-asset xStocks hooks can coexist. A new launch uses the active creation deployment. An old token stays on the hook that created it.

Integrators must discover the current deployment through the production registry and store the original hook with each launch. See [Networks and Deployments](/integrations/networks-and-deployments).

## V1 compatibility

V1 is the original Ink launch system. It is closed to new creation, but existing V1 tokens still trade through their original contracts and pools. See [Legacy](/legacy/overview).
