V2 is the current launch system. V1 is deprecated. This page exists to help V1 token holders and integrators understand what changed.

Quick comparison

Fee math compared

V1 (after the 25 second anti-snipe window):
V2 curve phase:
After bonding, the checked current hook family still charges the 1 percent protocol and 1 percent variable fees, while the V4 pool adds its 0.1 percent LP tier. The hook fee uses the swap’s unspecified side, so its currency and basis depend on direction and exact-input or exact-output mode. Use the quoter’s net result instead of adding the percentages into one flat deduction.

What stayed the same

  • Total supply is still 1,000,000,000 tokens
  • Tokens still bond from an initial sale pool to an automated market maker
  • The tokens_v2 table in the API still returns the same shape for V2 tokens that the tokens table did for V1, with extra V2 fields added
  • The leaderboard still counts trade volume across both versions, with separate formulas
  • The Emperor of the INK auction still works for any token, V1 or V2

What is new in V2

  • Per launch target raise (1 to 5 ETH)
  • Per launch curve steepness (1x to 21x gain multiplier)
  • Configurable creator share, updatable after launch. Current Ink sends the remainder to holder fee sharing; older Ink uses buy-and-burn
  • Optional anti-snipe window with captcha gate
  • Scheduled launches (set a start time in the future)
  • Optional creator prebuy at launch
  • Optional on-chain referral attribution via a dedicated event, plus a separate signed binding for fee-earning referrals

Should you migrate

There is no migration path. V1 tokens stay on V1 contracts and continue to trade. V2 is for new launches.
