## General

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is InkyPump?" icon="circle-question">
    InkyPump is a token launch platform on Ink mainnet. You create a token, raise ETH through a bonding curve, and the token automatically bonds to a Uniswap V4 pool when the curve fills. The platform is at [inkypump.com](https://inkypump.com).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the difference between V1 and V2?" icon="scale-balanced">
    V2 is the current launch system. It has a flat 2 percent fee, configurable curve gain, captcha based anti-snipe, on chain referral attribution, and bonds to Uniswap V4. V1 was the original system with a 5 percent fee, an exponential curve, and Uniswap V2 bonding. V1 is deprecated. See [V1 vs V2](/legacy/v1-vs-v2) for a detailed comparison.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What chain does InkyPump use?" icon="link">
    Ink mainnet. Chain ID 57073. RPC at `https://rpc-gel.inkonchain.com`. Block explorer at [explorer.inkonchain.com](https://explorer.inkonchain.com).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is InkyPump audited?" icon="shield">
    The V2 contracts have been reviewed. The launch contract is a UUPS proxy with separately upgradeable modules. The proxy is at `0x4cC8F6d5B7cE150CCC0A9B7664532B1283b96AC4`. There are no admin keys that can drain user funds. Anyone can verify the contract source on [explorer.inkonchain.com](https://explorer.inkonchain.com).
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Token Creation

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I create a token?" icon="rocket">
    Go to [inkypump.com/create](https://inkypump.com/create), connect a wallet on Ink mainnet, fill in the name, ticker, description, and image. Pick a target raise between 1 and 5 ETH. Confirm. The token launches immediately or at a scheduled time. See [Create Your Token](/token-creation/getting-started).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What does it cost to launch a token?" icon="dollar">
    There is no creation fee on V2. You pay gas for the launch transaction. If you choose to prebuy, you pay the prebuy ETH on top.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is the bonding curve?" icon="chart-line">
    A bonding curve is a smart contract that prices tokens based on how many have already been sold. V2 uses a linear curve. You choose a gain multiplier from 1x (flat) to 21x (steep) at launch. The curve runs until the target ETH is raised. See [Bonding Curve](/token-creation/bonding-curve).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when the curve fills?" icon="check">
    The token bonds to a Uniswap V4 pool. The raised ETH is paired with the liquidity portion of the supply, the pool opens, and trading moves from the curve to the V4 pool. The V4 pool charges 0.1 percent on swaps. See [Bonding to Uniswap V4](/token-creation/bonding-to-uniswap-v4).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I schedule a launch?" icon="clock">
    Yes. Set `startTime` on `CreateLaunchParams` to a future Unix time. The contract accepts buys and sells only after that time.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Trading

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Where can I trade?" icon="arrows-rotate">
    On the curve: only on InkyPump through the V2 hook. After bonding: through the InkyPump UI or directly on the Uniswap V4 pool. Both routes use the same liquidity.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What are the trading fees?" icon="percent">
    On the V2 curve: 2 percent total (1 percent protocol, 1 percent variable to creator and buyback). After bonding on the V4 pool: 0.1 percent. There is no fee decay or time based fee math. The 2 percent is constant for the curve's lifetime.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What is anti-snipe?" icon="shield">
    A captcha gate that runs for 0 to 60 seconds after launch. During the window, trades require a captcha signature. The InkyPump UI handles the signature automatically. Direct contract calls without the signature revert. It is not a fee penalty. See [Anti-Snipe](/token-creation/anti-snipe).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is my transaction failing?" icon="x">
    Common causes: insufficient ETH for gas, slippage tolerance too tight, the launch has not started yet (scheduled launch), the launch already bonded (use the V4 pool), or you are in the anti-snipe window without using the UI.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What wallets are supported?" icon="wallet">
    Anything that supports Ink mainnet through WalletConnect or direct integration. MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet, Kraken Wallet, Phantom, Trust Wallet, and the rest of the WalletConnect ecosystem.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Emperor of the INK

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is Emperor of the INK?" icon="crown">
    A daily Dutch auction for premium homepage placement on inkypump.com. The winning token gets 24 hours featured at the top. Works for both V1 and V2 tokens. See [Emperor of the INK](/trading/boosted-token).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does the auction work?" icon="gavel">
    Starts at 0.1 ETH and decays by 0.05 ETH per day until someone bids. Floor is 0.05 ETH. After a winning bid, the next auction starts at 2x the winning amount.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Rewards and Referrals

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="How do I earn points?" icon="star">
    Through trade volume (both V1 and V2), through launching tokens (small bonus), through referrals (referrer earns when their referees trade), and through InkySwap LP. See [Leaderboard](/rewards/leaderboard).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How does the referral program work?" icon="users">
    Share a URL with `?ref=<your-code>` or `/join/<your-code>`. When someone trades or launches after visiting your URL, you accrue points off the volume they generate. The InkyPump backend reads on chain `Referral` events emitted by V2 trades. See [Referrals](/rewards/referral).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do referrals cost the referee anything?" icon="circle-question">
    No. Referrals are tracking only. There is no fee discount and no fee penalty for using or not using a referral code. The 2 percent trade fee is the same either way.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## API and Integration

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is there an API?" icon="code">
    Yes. Three options: direct contract calls on the V2 hook, the InkyPump REST API at `inkypump.com`, and the [MCP server](/api-reference/mcp) for editor or agent integration. See [API Overview](/api-reference/overview).
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I build a trading bot?" icon="robot">
    Yes. Both V1 and V2 contracts are public and any wallet can trade against them. The anti-snipe captcha gate means bots cannot front run launches in the first 0 to 60 seconds. Outside that window, bot trading is unrestricted.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="How do I launch a token from my terminal?" icon="terminal">
    Use the [InkyPump MCP server](/api-reference/mcp). It wraps `createLaunch` and the preview functions for use from Claude Code, Codex, or any MCP compatible client.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Liquidity and Security

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What stops rug pulls?" icon="shield">
    On V2: the bonding curve holds all ETH until the token bonds. At bonding, the contract creates the V4 pool and seeds it. The seed is held by the InkyPump hook and is not withdrawable. The token contract has no admin minter. There is no key that can drain user funds.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Is liquidity locked?" icon="lock">
    Yes. The pool seed created at bonding is held by the InkyPump hook and is not withdrawable by anyone, including the InkyPump team. The hook collects swap fees and routes them to creators and buyback, but the principal liquidity stays in the pool.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I withdraw the LP I provided?" icon="circle-question">
    If you added a concentrated liquidity position to the V4 pool after bonding, yes. Your position is yours and you can withdraw it any time. The initial pool seed is not a withdrawable LP position.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

## Mobile

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Is there a mobile app?" icon="mobile">
    InkyPump runs as a Progressive Web App. Install from your mobile browser. No app store install needed. See [PWA Installation](/getting-started/pwa-installation).
  </Accordion>
