Trading and Alpha Vault

Follow how your tokens trade, see what you earn from trading fees, and reserve part of a new pool for the farmers you choose.

📷 Screenshot placeholder — a project's Trading page: the chart with the curve bar, today's fee and split, your earnings, the labelled holders.

The Trading page

Open a token project and its Trading card. The page shows that token's price, 24h change, volume and stage, its chart, its holders, today's fee and what you've earned from trading fees; the picker at the top switches between every token you've launched.

It's read-only. Farmers buy and sell from the farmer app, signing in their own wallet. DappFactory never holds their tokens.

What the stage means

  • Launching soon. An Instant launch that hasn't opened yet.
  • On the curve. Trading on the bonding curve. When it fills, the token graduates.
  • Graduating. The launch pool is going live. Trading pauses for a few minutes.
  • Graduated. An Instant launch trading on a Meteora pool after its curve filled.
  • Pool live. A Season launch trading on a Meteora pool opened from its liquidity bucket. Season launches don't use a curve.
  • Raise. No market until the raise settles.

You see the full fee schedule for your own tokens. Farmers and the public Trader site see only today's fee, so nobody can time trades around a fee drop.

Holders and your earnings

Holders are listed with what each wallet is — the venue (the curve or the pool), a platform account (the seasons pool, an airdrop bucket, a vesting account) or a farmer's wallet — so the list reads as the real spread of your token, not a column of addresses.

Your earnings are your business's share of the fee on every trade: what you've earned to date, what is available to withdraw across all your tokens, and when fees were last captured. DappFactory claims the fees from the venue and pays your share as it sets; you withdraw it from Withdraw Revenue, like the rest of your revenue.

Alpha Vault

An Alpha Vault reserves part of a new pool for farmers you choose. They deposit before the pool opens, the vault buys at the opening price before anyone else can trade, and their tokens then unlock gradually. It runs on Meteora's own vault program: the SOL sits in the vault, never with DappFactory or with you.

  • Which tokens. Raises only. A raise's pool is opened by DappFactory when the raise settles, so the vault can sit in front of it. An Instant launch's pool is opened by Meteora the moment its curve fills, and a Season launch's farmers receive tokens when they claim their points, so neither uses one. The card on their Trading page says Not available and why.
  • When to set it up. On the raise's Trading page, while the raise is a draft or open. Save it as a draft, then schedule it; you can edit or remove it until the raise settles.
  • Who can deposit. Three groups, each with the most one wallet in it can deposit. The leaderboard top N of your other projects' latest seasons, holders of collections you pick, and the raise's backers. A wallet in two groups gets the larger amount. The list is taken when the raise settles.
  • Vesting. Tokens bought in the vault unlock evenly over the number of days you choose, starting when the pool opens.
  • Deposit window. When the raise settles, deposits open for 24, 48 or 72 hours. When the window closes, Meteora opens the pool about 65 minutes later; in that hour the vault buys at the opening price.
  • Unused deposits. If the list deposits more than the vault can buy, everyone is filled in proportion, and each farmer takes the unused SOL back to their wallet once the vault has bought.

DappFactory sets the limits: how large the vault can be as a share of the pool's opening SOL, the most per wallet, the vesting range, the longest window and the largest leaderboard group. The summary beside the editor adds up the most the vault can take and warns you before you go over them. If the raise doesn't reach its floor, the vault never opens.
