How does Volume work?

When a creator creates a token on Volume it is not yet available to be traded on Uniswap. It can only be traded on Volume until it reaches a certain threshold of transaction volume.

Users can buy and sell audio tokens on Volume. The price goes up on buying and goes down on selling, like you would expect. However, regardless of buy/sell you are contributing to transactional volume.

When a token reaches 3 ETH worth of transactional volume, Volume will automatically close trading and will migrate the token to Uniswap.

Tokens that migrate to Uniswap will now show a Top 10 leaderboard of holders on its corresponding page, in place of the chart, and will now be exclusively tradable on Uniswap only.

The party only gets bigger as more you may get your token in front of a larger audience.

Although the music will have replay value and the memes are funny, beware as its PVP (player versus player) at the end of the day. People may dump their tokens to take profit.

How much does it cost to launch a token?

What are the Pros & Cons of trading on Volume?

Pro: Its fun and you might get tokens super early

Con: Tokens are all PvP, meaning anyone can dump at any time

What are the Volume tokenomics?

1B token supply traded on a linear bonding curve until a maximum of ~400M and a minimum of ~200M have been traded (determined by volume, {threshold} ETH = ~400M tokens), when the token graduates to the Uniswap liquidity pool, a liquidity pool is created with a matching amount of tokens that are currently held by the buyers and the rest is burned. For example, if only buys were to occur, 400M tokens would be owned by the buyers, 400M would go into the liquidity pool and 200M would get burned.

*In order to deter malicious activity a minimum of .1 ETH is required to reach graduation and form the Uniswap LP

**Our Smart Contracts are tested on Base Sepolia and Base, but have not been audited by a 3rd party firm at this time.

Why do some tokens have a purple gradient border?
