The First Tax Token Bonding Curve

πŸ“ˆ The First Tax Token Bonding Curve

SnakePad is the first launchpad on Solana to combine:

βœ… Token-2022 transfer tax enforcement βœ… Bonding curve liquidity and pricing βœ… Fair token distribution with no insider allocation

This design introduces a powerful and transparent way to launch tokens β€” with real fees, real incentives, and zero rugs.


πŸ§ͺ What Is a Bonding Curve?

A bonding curve is a mathematical formula that sets the token price based on supply and demand.

  • As users buy tokens, the price automatically increases

  • As users sell tokens, the price decreases

It creates a natural market dynamic without needing an external liquidity provider or market maker.

SnakePad uses a linear bonding curve optimized to:

  • Start tokens at a low price

  • Gradually raise the price with every purchase

  • Cap at a predefined market cap (typically ~$50k)


πŸ’Έ What Is a Transfer Tax?

SnakePad tokens use the Token-2022 Transfer Fee Extension, which enforces a fee on every transfer, including:

  • Buys

  • Sells

  • Wallet-to-wallet transfers

This fee (set by the token creator at launch, 2-10%) is automatically collected on-chain by Solana and withheld in the token account until claimed.


πŸ” How SnakePad Combines These

Every token launched on SnakePad:

  1. Mints via Token-2022 with a defined transfer tax

  2. Allocates 793M tokens to a bonding vault

  3. Starts at a low entry price (e.g., 0.0000025 SOL/token)

  4. Sells tokens to users directly from the vault using the curve

  5. Gradually increases price based on demand

  6. Sends transfer fees to a centralized rewards vault

When the market cap reaches a defined threshold (e.g., $50k), the token graduates and migrates to a real liquidity pool (e.g., SnakeSwap).


🎯 Why This Matters

This model eliminates common issues with traditional launches:

  • ❌ No rug pulls – No dev wallets with pre-minted tokens

  • ❌ No stealth launches – All tokens launch on-chain and traceable

  • ❌ No fake volume – We limit fake volume by taxing every transfer

Instead, it enables:

  • βœ… Predictable pricing and liquidity

  • βœ… Real yield from volume (via taxes)

  • βœ… Community-aligned growth with zero insider allocations

SnakePad is the first platform to bring Token-2022 tax logic + bonding curves together, making it the most advanced memecoin/utility token launch format on Solana.
