Only Up

Only Up tokens were designed to address two significant challenges in crypto fair launches:

1. Predatory trading practices such as pump-and-dump schemes and sniping bots.

2. Premature market exposure that leaves early-stage projects vulnerable to volatility before they can build a community and demonstrate long-term viability.

How It Works:

The core mechanism is straightforward: when a token launches, the price is not impacted by the direction of trades. Instead:

• Buy transactions mint new tokens.

• Sell transactions burn tokens.

• Price rises based on a 5% trading fee taken on each transaction.

It functions similarly to the yield mechanics of interest-bearing vaults. This creates an upward price trajectory at launch that gradually slows as more participants enter the ecosystem and accelerates again if there is an exit of holders.

Transitioning to Normal Market Trading:

The token creator can initiate normal market trading at any point, regardless of the level of investment (whether 1 ETH or 100 ETH). When this transition occurs:

• Trading fees are removed.

• A Sushi V3 liquidity pool is established at 5% below the Only Up phase ending price (ensuring the effective returns remain equivalent to fee-adjusted trades).

• 100% of the token supply is minted to the new pool, with a starting price 33% above the ending price from the Only Up phase.

• 2.5% of the token supply is allocated to the project creator.

The Result:

The token enters traditional market trading with several advantages:

• A strong and engaged community is already in place.

• No individual has amassed outsized returns, promoting fairer distribution.

• The token price cannot fall below the final price of the Only Up phase, offering a safety net against drastic downturns.

Comparison to Traditional Fair Launches:

Unlike traditional launches, where insiders can rapidly gain outsized returns, and the community is left uncertain about long-term prospects, Only Up tokens foster:

• Stronger community alignment: Encouraging holders to collaborate rather than compete for short-term profit.

• Smoother price stability: Reducing the risk of early-stage crashes.

• Fairer distribution: Mitigating concentrated holdings that could destabilize the token’s growth.

Only Up tokens provide an innovative, sustainable launch strategy that rewards holders for their commitment, supports healthy project growth, and prioritizes long-term value creation over fleeting market hype.
