Overview

Kairos is first and foremost a memecoin launchpad for Elysium. Anyone can create a coin on a bonding curve priced in HYPE, trade through a familiar launch lifecycle, and graduate into permanently locked liquidity. A portion of every curve trade also funds amplified prizes for holders, while creators earn ongoing fees.

The shared daily pot makes communities compete as teams. A separate coin jackpot gives each launch its own finish line. Together, they transform passive ownership into a recurring, public game with rules enforced by contracts.

Team play

One daily headline

Coins compete for one platform-wide HYPE pot, with chances based on the real prize fees their trading generated that day.

Patient capital

Holding time matters

Prize weight grows with balance and time held. Last-minute buying earns little; selling out before the draw removes eligibility.

Amplified wins

Many trades, bigger moments

Small prize contributions from the launchpad’s trading flow combine into larger daily payouts and a jackpot specific to each coin.

Two ways to win

Prize draws

Per coin

The coin jackpot

Every launch keeps its jackpot separate. It pays holders when the coin graduates. If graduation takes longer than 30 days, the current round pays and a new round begins.

  • ✓ Funded by curve fees
  • ✓ Receives the anti-snipe tax
  • ✓ Never mixed across coins

In this example Coin B is selected. The three prizes are drawn with replacement, so the same holder can occupy more than one winning slot.

Who does what

Creators & holders

✦ For creators

Launch a team, not just a ticker.

  1. 01

    Pay a 0.5 HYPE launch fee to create a coin.

  2. 02

    Optionally buy up to 5% at launch, visibly locked until graduation or 90 days.

  3. 03

    Earn 0.40% of curve trades and 0.50% of pool trades.

◎ For holders

Back the coin. Build your weight.

  1. 01

    Buy and sell on the curve with HYPE while both prize pools grow.

  2. 02

    Hold at least 0.01% of supply to become prize-eligible.

  3. 03

    Keep holding to build time-weighted odds, then claim after a win.

06

Transparent economics

Fees

Fees are paid in HYPE outside the pricing formula, keeping curve math exact. On curve trades, 0.40 percentage points flow directly into holder prize pools.

Anti-snipe rules also cap each transaction to 1% of supply during the first minute. The initial tax declines continuously over five seconds.

LaunchToken

Fixed 1B supply with no transfer tax, rebase, or future minting. It records balances over time for prize weighting.

BondingCurve

Sells 800M tokens against HYPE, splits fees, applies anti-snipe rules, and triggers graduation inside the final buy.

DailyLottery

Tracks each active coin’s daily prize fees, selects a team, then runs three holder draws.

JackpotEscrow

Keeps every coin’s jackpot isolated and pays at graduation or the end of a 30-day round.

GraduationPool

Pairs the remaining 200M tokens with curve-raised HYPE at the curve’s final price. There is no removable LP position.

Designed in public

Fairness & safety

01

Fair over time

A coin’s chance tracks the prize fees it generated. The shared pot bundles many small expected outcomes into one visible daily event.

02

Holding, not sniping

Time-weighted balances reward sustained participation. The draw caps weight at the holder’s balance when the snapshot closes.

03

Wallet splitting does not help

Three prizes are drawn with replacement, preserving a holder’s combined expected share even if balances are split.

04

Wash trading has a cost

There is no outside money in the daily pot. A creator cannot recover the protocol portion of fake volume.

05

Permissionless execution

Any account can progress a draw or deliver a prize. A private keeper cannot quietly block payouts.

06

Immutable boundaries

The intended core contracts do not give admins access to trading balances, prize pots, jackpots, or locked liquidity.

Launch early. Win bigger.
