Dark launch · sealed bids, then the coin

Bid before the coin exists

Launches are won by snipers and bundles in the opening block. A dark launch has no opening block to win: everyone bids blind for a few minutes, drand opens every bid at once, and the coin is born at one price for all, with its pool already filled.

  • Nothing to snipe: the coin does not exist until the round settles
  • No gas war, no bundle: the price is one for all
  • Under the minimum raise everyone gets their BNB back
Open a dark round

01 · Before the coin

A round opens for a coin that does not exist yet

Name, image, rules and the share for sale (10 to 30 %). Bids run 2 to 60 minutes.

02 · Sealed

Bids show their BNB, never their price

Each top price is encrypted to a drand round that drand signs only when the bidding is over. Nobody can read a bid before, not the creator, not pickhooks.

03 · One price

Everyone buys at the same price

Once drand signed, the bids open on chain. The round clears at the highest step where the bids want the whole share; above it buys in full, at it shares the rest.

04 · Born

The coin is born with BNB on both sides

In the same transaction: the BNB of the round goes into the coin's pair at that price, the curve starts above it. Every terminal trades it from its birth block.

The numbers

Ladder
24 steps, each about 15 % above the last, from the sticky start price
Bids
0.005 BNB or more, 2 to 60 minutes
Opening
anyone may open a bid once drand signed; a bid that does not open in 60 minutes goes to the coin's liquidity
Pledge
0.01 BNB from the creator, into the pair at the birth

Know the risk

  • A bid commits all its BNB at the one price if the round clears at or under your step. Bid what you would spend.
  • The seal is made in your browser. A bid that was not sealed by this page may never open, and then its BNB goes to the coin's liquidity.
  • Once born, the coin trades like any coin and can fall below the round's price.
  • A new contract, tested on a BNB Chain fork with drand's real rounds, not audited by a third party yet.
