Glossary
Every term used across these docs, in one line.
OG
The single, canonical token for a given meme name. Because the contract enforces one token per fingerprint, the first (and only) launch of a name is its OG.
Canonicalization
Reducing a name or symbol to a fingerprint — lowercase, strip separators, fold leetspeak digits, reject non-ASCII — so cosmetic variants collide. See Name rules.
Fingerprint
The keccak256 hash of the canonicalized string. It's the key in the name and symbol registries.
Bonding curve
The constant-product (x·y=k) pricing mechanism a token trades against before graduation. Price rises as people buy.
Virtual reserves
Non-real starting balances (200M tokens, 2 ETH) that give the curve a sane opening price and cap the impact of the first buys.
Dev buy
An optional first purchase the creator makes in the same transaction as the launch, so snipers can't get in front of them.
Graduation
The automatic migration of a token to a Uniswap V2 pool once it raises 8 ETH on the curve. The LP is burned and curve trading stops.
LP burn
Sending the Uniswap liquidity-provider tokens to the dead address so the pool can never be pulled by anyone.
Slippage floor
The minimum output (minTokensOut / minEthOut) you accept on a trade. If the curve moves past it, the trade reverts.
Non-custodial
The API only builds transactions; you sign and broadcast with your own key. The service never holds funds or keys.
Indexer
The process that reads the contract's events into a database so the site can show charts, trades and holder counts. See Run the indexer.
bps (basis points)
Hundredths of a percent. The 0.5% trade fee is 50 bps; the hard ceiling is 100 bps (1%).
