Welcome

HookPad is a launch protocol for tokens that enter permanent Uniswap v4 pools from their first block. Every launch deposits the full token supply as a single sided liquidity position, mints that position straight to the canonical burn address, and attaches a shared hook contract that collects trading tax on every swap. There is no bonding curve, no ETH seed requirement, and no protocol cut of the creator's ordinary trading tax.

What is live today

• Launch a token with a creator chosen base trading tax between 1% and 10%, with no ETH required to open the pool.
• 100% of the launch liquidity position is minted to 0xdead in the same transaction, with the position NFT ID recorded on chain for public verification.
• An optional whitelist of up to 30 wallets exempts trusted addresses from the 60% anti-snipe tax in the first five seconds after launch.
• An optional dev buy lets the creator pick up to 5% of supply atomically and tax free at launch, hard capped on chain.
• Creators withdraw accrued tax revenue in ETH at any time through HookPadFeeLocker.claimFees, with no protocol cut on their share.
• The AI Hook Builder workspace is in preview: a split pane file tree and chat assistant for exploring custom hook designs before they become selectable templates.
