How Fairlaunch Works

Our protocol is designed to remove speed, wealth, and insider access from the equation, giving every participant a fair shot at allocation. Here’s how it works from start to finish:

---

Step 1 – Open Buy Window

• No pre-registration required.

• When a launch goes live, participants can submit buy orders using SOL or stablecoins.

• The buy window stays open for a fixed duration (e.g., 15–30 minutes).

• No rush, no gas wars — everyone has time to participate.

Benefit: Removes the advantage of bots and high-speed traders.

---

Step 2 – Stored Orders

• All buy orders are collected and stored on-chain without immediate execution.

• Orders are timestamped but cannot be front-run.

Benefit: Eliminates the speed race and prevents manipulation through order sniping.

---

Step 3 – Random Selection

• At the close of the buy window, VRF (Verifiable Random Function) randomly selects orders until the allocation cap is reached.

• Every participant has an equal mathematical probability of selection.

Benefit: Fully transparent and provably fair allocation process.

---

Step 4 – Automatic Refunds

• If an order is not selected, funds are automatically refunded instantly.

• No waiting periods, no hidden fees, no manual intervention.

Benefit: Maintains user trust and liquidity without frustrating delays.

---

Step 5 – Delayed Token Claims

• Selected participants claim their tokens after an optional cooldown (e.g., 10 minutes).

• Helps reduce instant dumping and supports price stability.

Benefit: Protects both the project and its community from post-launch volatility.
