What CraftPad is

CraftPad is a coin launchpad on Robinhood Chain. Every coin launched here is paired with a CraftPad item, a CS2 skin or a Pokémon card. CraftPad lists only the coins launched through it, and you can buy, sell or swap any of them.

  • Nothing passes through CraftPad. Every transaction is signed in your own wallet and goes straight to the launch or Uniswap contracts.
  • CraftPad takes no fee. Prices, balances and trades are read from the chain as the page runs. CraftPad only stores the logos you upload and a list of the coins launched here.
  • Every call is simulated first. If the contracts would reject it, you get the reason on screen instead of a wallet prompt that fails.

Getting started

  1. Install a browser wallet such as MetaMask, Rabby or Coinbase Wallet.
  2. Press Connect wallet. If you have more than one wallet, pick one from the list.
  3. Hold some ETH on Robinhood Chain. ETH on Ethereum or another network does not count; bridge it over first.
  4. When you trade or launch, your wallet is asked to switch to Robinhood Chain. If it has never seen the network, it is added for you.

Launching a coin

The launch form has three steps. Launching is one transaction: the coin, its curve and your first buy land in the same block.

1. Details

  • Name

    Rules
    Required. 2 to 32 characters.

  • Symbol

    Rules
    Required. 2 to 10 letters or numbers, in capitals.

  • Logo

    Rules
    Optional. Upload an image up to 5 MB, which CraftPad stores and links to, or paste an https:// or ipfs:// link. Square works best.

  • Description

    Rules
    Optional. Up to 280 characters.

  • Website, X, Telegram

    Rules
    Optional. Full https:// links.

  • Pair with

    Rules
    Required. One of CraftPad's 27 items, a CS2 skin from the oracle board, or a Pokémon card from the catalogue, with a pair ticker such as GOLDSWORD or AK47.

Pairing ties the coin to a collectible. Buyers still pay in ETH on its curve; CraftPad records the pairing and shows the coin as, say, $THUNDER / AK47, with the skin's art and live index price. Owning the coin gives no claim on the skin or card.

CraftPad items are pixel items drawn for this site: tools, weapons, gems, ingots, potions and treasure. They are not Minecraft items, and they have no market price of their own.

Note: The coin's name, symbol, logo, description and links are written on chain and can never be changed. Check the logo link loads before you launch; the form warns you when it does not.

2. Economics

  • Paid in ETH. Whatever the coin is paired with, buyers pay ETH on its curve, and every amount on the site is in ETH or dollars.
  • First buy (optional). ETH spent on your own coin inside the launch transaction, so you hold supply from the first block, before anyone else can buy. It skips the opening tax.
  • Creator tax. 0, 1, 3 or 5% of every curve trade, paid to your wallet. It is fixed at launch.

3. Review

Check the summary and what the launch costs, then press Launch. When it lands you get the coin's address, its curve, and a link straight to its chart. CraftPad records the launch, so the coin always shows under Coins and Mine, from any browser.

The bonding curve

At launch the whole supply of 1,000,000,000 coins is minted into the coin's own curve contract. The curve sells and buys back coins at a price set by its reserves, the same constant-product rule a Uniswap v2 pool uses.

  • The curve starts with virtual ETH liquidity, so the coin has a price before anyone has bought.
  • Every buy raises the price and every sell lowers it. Big trades move it more: the ticket shows this as price impact.
  • The ETH buyers actually pay in is counted separately. That real amount is what the progress bar on every coin tracks.

Opening tax

For the first 15 seconds after a launch, buys pay a tax that falls from 99% to 0%. It stops bots from buying the whole curve in the launch block. The ticket warns you while it applies; waiting a few seconds avoids it.

Graduation

When the ETH raised on a curve reaches its graduation threshold, the curve is full. The liquidity then moves into a Uniswap v4 pool on Robinhood Chain, and the coin trades there from then on.

  • LIVE

    Meaning
    Still raising on its curve
    Where it trades
    The curve

  • CURVE FULL

    Meaning
    Threshold reached; the liquidity is moving to the pool
    Where it trades
    Nowhere, for a short while

  • GRADUATED

    Meaning
    Liquidity is in the pool
    Where it trades
    The Uniswap v4 pool

Graduation is one-way. A graduated coin never goes back to its curve.

Buying and selling

Every coin has a ticket: on its own page, and as a quick dialog from the Trade button on its card. The ticket picks the right venue by itself.

On the curve

  • A buy sends ETH to the curve and one transaction is enough.
  • A sell first asks you to approve the curve to take the coins you sell, then sells.
  • The quote comes from the curve's live reserves, with the curve fee and creator tax taken off.

On the pool

  • Swaps go through the Uniswap Universal Router. The quote comes from Uniswap's own Quoter and includes the pool and hook fees.
  • A buy with ETH is one transaction.
  • A sell approves the coin to Permit2 once, then lets Permit2 allow the router for 30 days, then swaps. The first sell can take three wallet prompts; later ones take one.
  • A swap is valid for 20 minutes. After that it is rejected, not delayed.

Slippage

Choose 0.5, 1, 3 or 5%. The ticket turns it into the least you accept, shown before you sign. If the price moves further than that before your trade lands, the trade is rejected and only gas is spent.

What the ticket stops you doing

  • Spending more ETH than your wallet holds, or selling more coins than you have.
  • Trading on a curve that is full or has graduated.
  • Amounts too small to price.

Reading the site

Home

  • Coins lists every coin launched through CraftPad, newest first, six to a page. Coins launched anywhere else are not listed.
  • Items, CS2 skins and Pokémon cards narrow the list to one kind of pairing.
  • Mine shows every coin your wallet launched here.
  • Inventory shows the CraftPad coins your wallet holds among those the page knows about.

A coin's page

  • Market cap chart. Price times the supply, in dollars. Each step is one trade. Point at it, or focus it and use the arrow keys, to read a trade.
  • Range (1H, 6H, 24H, All) scopes the chart, the figures and the trade list together.
  • Trades lists every buy and sell, on the curve and on the pool, with a link to each transaction. About three and a half days are read at first; older trades load on request.
  • Curve shows progress to graduation, fees and the contract addresses.

Note: Dollar values use ETH prices from Hyperliquid, refreshed every minute. They are for reading only; every amount you sign is in ETH or coins.

$CRP tokenomics

Planned. $CRP has not launched yet, and nothing in this chapter happens today. Until it does, fees on CraftPad coins work exactly as the Fees chapter above describes. The $CRP contract address will be published here, on www.craftpadfamily.com, and by @craftpadfamily. Any other address claiming to be $CRP is not.

$CRP is CraftPad's own token. The plan is simple: the money CraftPad earns is used to buy $CRP back from the market and burn it, which removes it from the supply for good. Nothing here promises a return. Buybacks only happen when there is revenue to fund them.

Where CraftPad's revenue goes

  • 50%

    Use
    Buyback and burn
    What it does
    Buys $CRP back from the market and burns it.

  • 40%

    Use
    ZEC mining
    What it does
    Funds mining Zcash (ZEC). Whatever ZEC is mined is used to buy back $CRP and burn it.

  • 10%

    Use
    Holders
    What it does
    Shared among $CRP holders. The method is announced before launch.

How ZEC mining feeds buybacks

  1. 40% of revenue pays for mining Zcash: hardware, hosting and power.
  2. When the mining earns ZEC, that ZEC is sold.
  3. The proceeds buy $CRP back from the market, and that $CRP is burned.

Mining is a business with real costs, not free money. What it earns depends on the price of ZEC, the network's difficulty and the cost of power, and in some months it may earn little or nothing after costs. When it earns nothing, there is no buyback from mining that month.

Coins launched on CraftPad

Once $CRP is live, the trade fee on coins launched through CraftPad is meant to be split like this:

  • 75%

    Goes to
    Buys back $CRP and burns it

  • 15%

    Goes to
    The coin's creator

  • 10%

    Goes to
    CraftPad treasury: development, security audits and hosting

Making this automatic needs a new contract that receives the fees, splits them and carries out the buyback. It will be published, with its address, before any coin uses it. Until then, the creator tax goes to the creator in full, as it does today.

What $CRP is not

  • Not a promise of profit. Buybacks reduce supply; they do not set the price.
  • Not a share in CraftPad. Holding $CRP gives no claim on revenue beyond the holders' share described above.
  • Not final. The shares above may change before launch, and changes will be posted here first.

Note: Every buyback and burn will be an on-chain transaction anyone can check. This is not financial advice. Only buy what you can afford to lose.

Contracts

Everything runs on Robinhood Chain. These are the only contracts CraftPad asks your wallet to call, besides each coin's own token and curve.

The launch contracts are those of the Pons V2 protocol. Neither they nor Uniswap v4 are CraftPad's code, and CraftPad has not audited them.

Risks

  • Anyone can launch a coin, and nobody reviews them. A name or logo proves nothing about who made it.
  • Coins can lose all their value. Most new coins never graduate. Only spend what you can afford to lose.
  • Transactions are final. Check the amount and the least you accept before you sign.
  • Early buyers pay more than they expect in the first 15 seconds because of the opening tax.
  • Public networks get busy. CraftPad reads free public RPCs. When they are slow, figures may lag a few seconds and some reads are retried.

FAQ

Does CraftPad hold my funds or keys?

No. Your wallet signs everything and sends it to the chain directly.

Why does my wallet ask to switch network?

CraftPad runs on Robinhood Chain only, so every transaction goes there.

My trade was rejected. Did I lose money?

Only the gas, which on Robinhood Chain is a fraction of a cent. The amount you meant to trade stays in your wallet.

Can I change my coin's name, logo or tax after launch?

No. They are written on chain at launch and fixed.

Why is a coin I launched not under “Mine”?

Mine lists only coins launched through CraftPad, and only once the launch was recorded. If the record failed, the launch screen offers to try again.

Why can't I pair a coin with a Minecraft item or skin?

Minecraft's usage guidelines forbid tying its skins, items and other content to blockchain assets. CraftPad items are drawn for this site instead, so a coin can stand for one without using anything of Minecraft's.

Is CraftPad part of Robinhood or Minecraft?

No. It is an independent project, not affiliated with or endorsed by Robinhood, Mojang, Microsoft, or the makers of the contracts it uses.
