Fair-launch mechanics

"Fair launch" on Titan means something specific and verifiable: no pre-mine, no team allocation, no whitelist, and no price the deployer can set for themselves that the public doesn't get. This page describes the exact mechanics, all of which are enforced by the TitanV3Deployer contract rather than by policy.

Supply and starting price

Every token mints exactly 1,000,000,000 tokens with 18 decimals, all of it deposited into the Uniswap V3 pool as one-sided liquidity. The pool's initial tick prices the supply at a $2,000 market cap in USDT0 — about $0.000002 per token. Nobody holds tokens before the pool exists, so the first buyer and the creator face the same price.

Why one-sided liquidity

A one-sided Uniswap V3 position holds only tokens (no USDT0) across a price range starting at the launch price. Buys pull tokens out of the range and leave USDT0 in it; sells do the reverse. This is what makes a curveless fair launch possible: the pool needs no seed capital from the creator, yet it is a fully standard Uniswap V3 pool from block one — compatible with routers, aggregators, and portfolio trackers with zero special-casing.

The permanent liquidity lock

The launch transaction locks the position NFT in the Titan Locker vault — the same audited locker that secures LP for other projects — with no unlock time and no owner override. The liquidity cannot be pulled, which removes the classic rug vector. What remains claimable is only the trading fees the position earns, and those flow through the deployer's fee split.

Dev buys are public swaps

A creator can optionally buy in the launch transaction itself (a "dev buy"). This is not an allocation: it is a normal swap against the fresh pool at the public opening price, fully visible on-chain and tagged with a DEV badge in every Titan interface. The creator pays USDT0 like any other trader; they simply trade first, at the same price the second buyer gets.
