What RTP Protocol is
Neutral token-launch infrastructure for EVM networks: two launch paths on Uniswap v4, with liquidity no one can remove and terms fixed in code before anyone trades or contributes.
The protocol
RTP Protocol is neutral token-launch infrastructure for EVM networks. Its two launch paths share one philosophy: terms are fixed when a launch is created, liquidity cannot be withdrawn, and every payout is pulled by its owner from a contract ledger.
RTP Curve Launch
Any creator can launch, on an enabled launch tier, a token that trades on a constant-product bonding curve. At its funding threshold the token graduates, at the same price, into its own Uniswap v4 pool, whose single full-range position is held permanently by an immutable graduator.
RTP Fixed-Price Launch
A separate, self-contained set of contracts for a structured raise: up to six batches at one price for everyone, at least 70% of the raise in permanently locked liquidity, creator funds vested on-chain, full refunds if the raise fails, and a protected market opening.
The two paths side by side
| Question | RTP Curve Launch | RTP Fixed-Price Launch |
|---|---|---|
| Price discovery | Continuous bonding curve, then a Uniswap v4 pool | One fixed price for all participants; the pool opens at that price or at a premium of up to 50% fixed at creation |
| Who can create | Any creator, on an enabled launch tier; verified tiers also need an identity attestation | Any address; display on RTP.fun is a separate platform decision |
| Liquidity | Raised quote plus reserved supply, locked at graduation | At least 70% of the raise, locked at settlement |
| Early-market protection | Decaying opening-buy tax on the curve | 300 s closed market, then a 600 s decaying buy tax |
| Failure path | Not applicable: trading is continuous | Full refunds, pulled by each contributor |
| Upgradeability | None | None |
Principles
Token launches fail participants in familiar ways: liquidity that can be pulled, insiders who buy at a different price, parameters that change mid-sale, and refunds that depend on goodwill. RTP Protocol is designed so that each of these is either impossible in code or disclosed up front.
Neutral by construction
Any front end can integrate the protocol through a namespaced platform id and receive the platform share of fees. RTP.fun is one integrator among potentially many. The contracts contain no logic specific to any single token or community.
Terms fixed at creation
Every curve launch and every fixed-price launch snapshots its parameters when it is created. Operators can adjust settings for future launches only, within bounds compiled into the contracts.
Liquidity that stays
Pools are seeded by an immutable graduator that holds one full-range position per token and has no withdrawal path. The rule that matters most to holders is enforced by the absence of code.
Pull, never push
Fees, refunds, vested amounts and claims are credited to on-chain ledgers and collected by their owners. Trades never push value to third parties, which removes whole classes of re-entrancy and denial-of-service risk.
Immutable contracts
No proxy, no upgrade path and no self-destruct. The trust surface is smaller; the trade-off, accepted deliberately, is that there is no emergency stop.
What participants can rely on
- Terms are snapshotted at creation. Later configuration changes apply to new curve launches or new fixed-price launches only.
- Graduated liquidity has no removal path in code. It is locked, not burned: the position exists and is held by a contract that has no function to withdraw it.
- The platform cannot pause trading, refunds, claims or settlement, cannot move funds credited to others and cannot upgrade contracts.
- Protections are described with their limits. The opening tax raises the cost of sniping; it does not make sniping impossible.
Where it stands
Curve Launch runs on a public EVM testnet with test tokens only, from an earlier build. Fixed-Price Launch is not yet deployed. GIWA stays on testnet; both launch paths go to Robinhood Chain mainnet, and Fixed-Price Launch also to Base.
