App Lifecycle

​

Overview

Every Elata app follows the same lifecycle: register, launch a token, trade on a bonding curve, graduate to a DEX pair, and operate with full community tools.

​

Phase A: Registration

Register your app by calling AppFactory with metadata and a Safe wallet address.

• Cost: 10 ELTA registration fee
• What happens: App appears in the store immediately (without a token)
• Requirements: A Safe multisig wallet to control the app

Your app exists on-chain and is visible in the app store, but has no token yet.

​

Phase B: Token Launch

Deploy the full token stack by sending 100 ELTA as the bonding curve seed.

• Cost: 100 ELTA seed (total with registration: 110 ELTA)
• What gets deployed: App Token (10M supply), Bonding Curve, Staking Vault, Vesting Wallet, Ecosystem Vault

Token distribution: After deployment, the bonding curve enters PENDING state.

​

Bonding Curve

Once activated, the curve enters ACTIVE state and trading begins. How it works:

• Constant-product formula: reserveELTA * reserveToken = k
• Price rises as more ELTA is deposited; falls as tokens are sold back
• 1% trading fee on each trade (configurable by governance)

Early access: For the first 6 hours, buyers need 100 XP to participate. This prevents sniping. Lifecycle states:

​

Graduation

Graduation triggers when ELTA reserves in the bonding curve reach 42,000 ELTA. When graduation happens:

​

Post-Graduation

After graduation, your app token trades freely on the DEX. The protocol continues to handle:

• Fee routing through the FeeRouter
• Transfer tax (up to 2%, LP-keyed)
• Contributor payouts via the ContributorSplit contract
• Community tools (tournaments, items, staking)
