@goattrading Thought we should announce this here as well, although looks like video isn't enabled. More info here: https://goattrading.gitbook.io/dojo/token-types/only-up

Introducing: Only Up

A new bonding mechanism that eliminates immediate pump-and-dumps, sniper bots, and predatory trading in fair launches.

For the first time ever, token holders will participate in a positive-sum trading game.

Here's how it works: 🧵👇

Building a token launchpad on Base to explore the most beneficial and safest methods of fair launches and trading.

How Only Up tokens work:

1️⃣ Token launches at a flat starting price.
2️⃣ Up to 5% tax applies to all buys and sells.
3️⃣ Fees go into the token's backing value, increasing the floor price.

Buys/sells don’t directly affect price—only their taxes change price, and it only goes up.

What does the price chart look like?

Early transactions create a larger increase from the base price. As the community grows, individual transactions have a smaller impact.

The result? A steady, sustainable bonding period instead of instant pumps and dumps. 📈

Once the token creator decides their community is ready, they manually graduate it to a Sushi V3 pool.

What happens next:
- Taxes removed.
- 47.5% of final supply of tokens is minted as single-sided liquidity, OU liquidity is added to the other side.
- The token can be bought for 33% above final OU price and sold for 95% of final OU price.
- 2.5% of tokens minted to the creator.

When trading begins:
- The community is stronger and more diverse.
- No one got in at an enormous discount.
- The price won’t ever fall below the final bonding sell value (including taxes).
- Compare this to traditional launches, where whales dump and prices can crash in seconds.

In a traditional launch at graduation:
❌ First holders sit on magnitudes of gains.
❌ Tokens are highly concentrated.
❌ Prices can plummet at any time.
Only Up builds fairer launches:
✅ No instant rugs.
✅ More distributed ownership.
✅ A price floor backed by real liquidity.

The Only Up bonding period isn’t just protection—it’s a better way to build strong communities and healthier markets.

With fewer bad actors and fairer mechanics, Only Up reshapes the launch experience for traders and teams alike.

Coming (very) soon to Dojo.

Disclaimer: price not going down during this period does not mean it’s safe! No one else trading could result in a loss from 5% taxes (and dex fees) on your buy and sell with no price increase between.

The bonding period encourages healthy charts:

New users are incentivized to join early, but not to a chart-wrecking extent.

Community-driven efforts are rewarded, not predatory trading.

🚫 No snipers or whales. 🤝 Just aligned incentives for holders.
