How THEFLOOR works.
THEFLOOR is a launchpad and trading venue on Arc. One flow takes a project from idea to a live token, a branded website, and an open market. This document covers the mechanics end to end: the curve, the fees, the rewards, and the rules that hold for every token without exception.

Overview
Most token launches fail at the same three points: the setup takes days, the supply is quietly stacked against buyers, and price discovery happens somewhere the community can't see. THEFLOOR removes all three. Creation takes about a minute, every token uses the same fair-launch structure, and all trading happens on a public bonding curve where every fill is recorded and visible.
The platform runs on Arc, a stablecoin-native chain where USDC is the gas token and settlement is sub-second. Prices on THEFLOOR are quoted in USDC, fees are charged in USDC, and creator earnings accrue in USDC.

Token lifecycle
Every token moves through the same four stages. There are no private phases, no presales, and no alternative tracks.
01
Launch
Token, site, and market created in one flow
02
Bonding curve
80% of supply sells; the curve sets the price
03
$50K market cap
Graduation threshold reached
04
Graduated
Liquidity locked, open market continues
The bonding curve
New tokens trade against a constant-product curve, the same mechanism behind major AMMs: the product of the USDC reserve and the token reserve stays constant, so every buy raises the price along a smooth path and every sell lowers it. There is no order book to seed and no market maker to trust. The curve is the market.
The curve opens with a virtual reserve of 3,000 USDC, which puts the starting market cap near $3,900. From there, price moves only through trades. Reaching the $50,000 graduation threshold requires roughly $7,700 of real net buying, so a graduated token has demonstrated demand by definition.
Fair launch
Nobody receives free tokens. Not the creator, not a team, not the platform. 80% of supply is sold on the curve and 20% is reserved to become locked liquidity at graduation. This is enforced by the launch engine and cannot be configured away.
80% · bonding curve
Sold to the public, starting at roughly a $3.9K market cap. Every holder, including the creator, buys from this pool at curve price.
20% · graduation liquidity
Reserved and untouchable during the curve phase. At $50K it is paired with the raised USDC and locked as market liquidity.
Creators who want a position buy it. The launch flow includes an optional opening buy in USDC, filled as the first trade on the curve at curve price, identical to any other buyer. The size of that buy is public on the token page from the moment of launch, so the market can price it. Because no allocation is given, no vesting is needed: there is nothing to vest.
Fees
One fee, one split, no exceptions. Every buy and sell carries a 1.00% fee, divided evenly between the token's creator and the protocol. There are no buy taxes, no sell taxes, and no hidden spreads.

funds the platform
The creator's half is the core incentive of the platform: income scales with trading volume, not with selling on holders. A token doing $100,000 of daily volume pays its creator $500 a day for as long as the volume lasts. At graduation, the protocol additionally retains 3% of the USDC raised on the curve; the remainder is locked as liquidity. Traders never pay the graduation fee directly.
| example trade | 1,000 USDC buy |
| fee charged | 10.00 USDC |
| to creator | 5.00 USDC |
| to protocol | 5.00 USDC |
| into the curve | 990.00 USDC |
Launching
The creation flow asks for the brief: name, ticker, artwork, the idea in a sentence, what the token does, who it's for, and your community links. X verification is part of the flow, so every launch is tied to a real, accountable account.
From that brief the studio produces the full package: brand identity, a standalone website on its own subdomain with the whitepaper and tokenomics built in, a launch thread and twenty ready-to-post updates written in the project's voice, and a support agent trained on the project's own documents that answers holders on the token page around the clock.
Nothing publishes without review. You approve every output before launch, and the content library never auto-posts: copy is yours, accounts are yours, you press publish.
Trading
Trading is native. Every token page carries the trade panel, live candles built from actual fills at one-minute to one-day resolution, a real-time feed of who is buying and selling, and the full risk report. The board on the homepage tracks every market with curve progress, volume, and holder counts, refreshing continuously.
Quotes show the fee and the exact price impact before you sign. Settlement is atomic: concurrent trades are serialized against the curve state, so the reserve math is always consistent, including under load.
Graduation
When a token's market cap crosses $50,000, the curve closes permanently. The 20% liquidity reserve is paired with the raised USDC and locked, the token's status flips to graduated across the platform, and trading continues on the open market. Graduation is one-way: a graduated token can never return to the curve, and its locked liquidity cannot be withdrawn.
FLOORWORK rewards
FLOORWORK is the posting competition: a $100,000 prize pool, paid in $FLOOR at the TGE snapshot, split across the top 200 accounts on the leaderboard. Participation is automatic. Post original content that tags @floorstudioarc, and the scanner finds it, verifies it, and scores it on quality and real engagement. No forms, no submissions.
The rules are short. Tag @floorstudioarc and no other account. Original content only: copy-paste raids are filtered across accounts, and bot engagement is rejected. Scores are recalculated on every sweep and can fall as well as rise. Scoring weights stay private, which is what keeps the game fair. To receive a prize, link your X account and wallet before the snapshot; unverified ranks are skipped.
FLOOR Points
FLOOR Points is the platform-action program, separate from FLOORWORK. Points accrue automatically for the three things that grow the floor: trading volume, launching tokens (with a large bonus when a launch graduates), and referring traders, which also earns a share of the recruits' trading points for as long as they trade. Points convert at TGE.
There is nothing to claim and nothing to submit. Points are computed from the platform ledger and appear in your dashboard alongside your referral link, your launches, and your earnings.
Safety
Every launch passes an automated risk scan before its market opens: logo and website originality against an index of 41 million marks, deployer wallet screening against flagged clusters, social verification, and content checks. The resulting safety score is public and permanent on the token page.
The structural protections do not depend on the scan. Mint authority is revoked in the deploy transaction, so supply can never inflate. Pricing happens only through the curve, so there is no pool for a deployer to drain. Liquidity locks at graduation. And because nobody holds unearned tokens, the classic rug, dumping a free allocation on buyers, is structurally impossible.

FAQ
Why would I launch here instead of anywhere else?+
Because you get more than a token. Every launch ships with a branded website, a whitepaper, a content library, and a support agent, and the fee split pays you half of every trade from the first fill onward.
Can the creator rug?+
The classic mechanisms don't exist here. No free allocation to dump, no pool keys to drain, no mint to abuse. A creator can sell tokens they bought, like any holder, and their buys are public from launch.
What happens to my tokens at graduation?+
Nothing changes for holders. Your balance is untouched; the token simply moves from curve pricing to an open market with locked liquidity.
What does it cost to launch?+
Nothing. The platform earns from the 0.5% protocol side of the trade fee and 3% of the raise at graduation, so it profits only when your token actually trades.
When is the TGE?+
The snapshot date for FLOORWORK and FLOOR Points is announced on @floorstudioarc. Until then, every post, trade, launch, and referral keeps counting.
