FAQ
The questions that come up most, answered against what the contracts actually do.
Nothing, if you do not buy your own coin. Creating is a signature, not a transaction, so there is no gas and no fee. Whoever buys first pays the gas that deploys the coin. If you want a dev buy, you send the transaction and pay for the buy and the gas.
No. Tickers are not exclusive and never were. Two coins can carry the same one, and the address is
what identifies yours. Only MOTO, WETH, ETH, USDC, and USDT are refused outright.
There is no liquidity to rug. While a coin bonds, the ETH sits in the curve contract and there is no function that lets anyone withdraw it, including us. At graduation the LP tokens for both pools are burned, so nobody holds a position to remove.
A creator can still sell coins they bought, like any holder. That is the risk you price.
The fee is 1.2% per trade, taken on the way in and on the way out, and the curve price moves down when you sell. Buying and immediately selling with no other trades in between returns less than you put in, by design. This is how a bonding curve works, not a bug.
Your buy crossed the graduation line. It filled exactly up to the line and refunded the remainder in the same transaction. Check the transaction: the refund is in it.
A keeper graduated the coin first. Only one graduation can land, and yours arrived second. The coin is graduated either way and nothing is wrong. There is nothing to report.
It is in the frozen window, waiting for a graduation transaction. That normally lasts under a minute. If the MOTO price on the pool has been pushed away from its recent average, graduation reverts and retries until it is safe, which can add a few blocks.
If it stays frozen, selling reopens on its own 15 minutes after the freeze, and selling walks the coin back to trading. Your coins are never stuck.
It keeps trading on its curve, in both directions, indefinitely. There is no deadline and no expiry. Its PvE escrow, if it has one, stays escrowed until it graduates.
Yes, at the same rate as a DEX swap of the same size, on the same balances. See Points and Rakeback on the curve.
Whenever you claim them. They accrue into a vault from the first trade and sit there until you take them. Nothing expires and nothing is streamed. See creator fees.
The name and picture, no. They are committed on chain as a hash, and the site refuses to serve metadata that does not match it, so nobody can change them, including us. The fee recipient, yes: from your coin's page or from Your coins, with one transaction from the current payout wallet. It takes effect at once, and any fees you have not claimed yet move with it.
No. moto.fun is where launches happen.
No. There is no presale, no allocation list, and no team allocation. The whole supply starts on the curve and the only way to hold a coin is to buy it. A dev buy is a buy at the curve price, in public, like everyone else's.
The chain is permissionless and your coin trades regardless. The site's listings are curated, and a coin can be hidden from them. Hiding changes nothing on chain: the coin still trades and holders can still sell.
