Questions & fees

Why does $NOVA matter for holders?

Holding is enough. You don't need to provide liquidity or do anything else. The real value is in holding while we build.

As the ecosystem grows, so does $NOVA. We plan to put 50% of NovaPier's ecosystem revenue toward buying $NOVA, burning it and adding to its liquidity. More launches and more trading mean more buy, burn and liquidity. We plan to raise that share as fees grow.

Locked liquidity that keeps growing. When bidding closes, the whole raise opens $NOVA's Topaz pool, locked forever. Every buy and sell pays a trading fee: part goes back into the pool and part pays the creator.

Bigger picture. As we grow, we plan to take part in the Topaz ecosystem, like gauges and voting, to bring more rewards and liquidity to $NOVA.

Optional. Once trading opens, anyone can add NOVA/ETH liquidity on Topaz and earn a share of swap fees.

This is not investment advice and not a promise of returns. Token prices can go down, and you can lose what you put in.

Bid on $NOVA

Bid stuck on “Confirming” in MetaMask?

Recommended wallet: Rabby. Robinhood Wallet works well too.

Sticking with MetaMask? Its default Robinhood Chain connection sometimes drops transactions, so the bid never reaches the chain. Nothing is lost: point MetaMask at Robinhood's own RPC and bid again.

1. Switch the RPC. Network button (top left) → ⋮ next to Robinhood Chain → Edit → Default RPC URL → Add RPC URL → paste https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com → Add → Save. On the phone app: ☰ → Settings → Networks → Robinhood Chain → RPC URL.

2. Clear the stuck bid. Cancel it in MetaMask's Activity tab, or Settings → Advanced → Clear activity tab data.

3. Refresh and bid again.

Adding Robinhood Chain for the first time? Network button → Add a custom network: RPC URL https://rpc.mainnet.chain.robinhood.com, Chain ID 4663, symbol ETH, explorer https://robin.etherscan.io.

Can I schedule bidding?

Choose a future bidding time when creating your token to publish its page before bidding opens.

Share the page with your community so people can follow the launch or add it to their calendar.

The opening time is estimated from chain blocks; the schedule is fixed when you create the launch.

Why launch with an auction instead of a bonding curve?

On a typical buy-and-sell bonding curve, trading starts immediately. Early buyers can sell while the launch is still raising funds, before much of your community has even discovered it.

Give your crew time to show up. On NovaPier, bidding runs for a set window before trading begins. Hitting the target early doesn't cut that window short. Everyone, including the creator, bids under the same rules, with no presale or free creator tokens.

Start with liquidity funded by demand. A successful auction funds the first pool, minus the success fee, at the final auction price. Its liquidity locks permanently. If the target is missed, bidders can recover their bids, minus the bid fee.

How does NovaPier defend against snipers and bots?

Bidding comes before trading. Bidder tokens cannot be claimed during the auction, and NovaPier's trading pool opens afterward. Bots can't buy auction tokens and immediately flip them into that pool while your crew is still bidding.

Less advantage from transaction speed. Auction supply is released over time, and each bid is spread across the remaining auction. Qualifying fills in the same block use the same clearing price, rather than giving each successive buyer a different curve price. Earlier bids can still fill for longer and at lower prices.

An opening price set by demand. The first pool opens at the final auction price. It doesn't start with a separate, cheaper opening price for the first trader to grab.

Bots can still bid, and holders can sell once trading opens. These rules reduce launch-sniping opportunities; they don't ban automated wallets or prevent later selling.

How does the auction work?

Technical explanation of the auction →

Create your token: add a name, ticker and image, choose an available chain, and pick an auction window (1h, 4h, 8h, 24h, 48h, within that chain's limits). Start now or schedule a later start when the chain allows it. A scheduled token page exists immediately; bidding waits for its start. The start is fixed at creation and cannot be cancelled or moved.

Let bidding run: everyone, including the creator, bids under the same rules. There is no presale. Reaching the target early does not end bidding.

How bids fill: you choose a fixed spend; the token estimate can change as bidding continues. Each part of a bid fills at the price when it fills. The auction contract also accepts a maximum price for advanced users.

The clearing price only rises, and bids in the same block pay the same price. 60% of the auction supply is released across the window and 40% in the final block. Trading starts only after the auction ends and the pool opens.

Target reached: the token graduates. The raise, minus the success fee, and the pool share fund a permanently locked Topaz pool on the home chain at the final clearing price. The first person to press Claim or Refund after bidding ends opens it (the creator has an Open trading button too); if opening needs more work, the token page shows its progress. Claim and Refund try graduation first. If that attempt fails, they continue with any eligible claim or refund.

Claims and refunds: token claims open at the launch's claim block, about 5 minutes after bidding ends by default. The delay is fixed for that launch and shown on its page. Unused bid balance is refundable from the auction's end, without waiting for token claims or the pool.

Target missed: no pool opens and the tokens are burned. Claim your bid back, minus the bid fee, including amounts that filled during the auction. Claims are available from the token's page with no deadline.

Locked liquidity cannot be withdrawn by anyone, including the creator and NovaPier. It does not guarantee an exit price. Contract risks remain.

What does the Creator Pass do?

Your Creator Pass: a transferable NFT with art generated on-chain is minted to the launching wallet when the token graduates. It controls creator-fee claims on the launch chain.

If you transfer it: creator rewards follow the pass. Claim your fees first.

Creator fees: 50% of the quote-token fees collected by the locked position goes to creator rewards, paid in WETH on Robinhood Chain, WBNB on BNB Smart Chain, USDC on Arc or WETH on Base. The pool keeps 30% and NovaPier gets 20%. All collected launch-token fees from sells go to the pool; any left unpaired after an add are burned. The creator gets no success-fee share, no free token allocation and nothing on a failed launch.

Referrers: referrals are optional; the site offers codes verified on X. By default a successful launch pays the referrer the whole 0.75% graduation fee, equal to 0.75% of gross filled bids. It comes from the existing fee and adds no extra charge. NovaPier keeps the 0.25% bid fee. Without a referrer, NovaPier gets the graduation fee too. The chosen referrer and fee terms are fixed when the launch is created.

The launch's terms apply. Trading volume and successful launches determine rewards; there is no guaranteed income.

Where does my token trade?

On Topaz, a decentralized exchange (DEX) on Robinhood Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Arc and Base. When a launch graduates, NovaPier opens the token's Topaz pool at the auction's final price, paired with WETH on Robinhood Chain, WBNB on BNB Smart Chain, USDC on Arc or WETH on Base, and adds the raise and the pool share as liquidity.

What kind of pool? Topaz Slipstream: a concentrated-liquidity pool, the same design as Uniswap v3. Liquidity sits in a price range instead of everywhere. NovaPier's position uses a very wide range (about 200,000 ticks either side of the opening price), so it behaves like a classic full-range pool and keeps working through big price moves.

Who owns the liquidity? Nobody can take it out. The position is held by NovaPier's locker contract, which has no withdraw function, so the creator, NovaPier and anyone else can never remove it. It only grows: part of every trading fee is added back (see the fees below).

Where can I trade? Right on the token page, on Topaz's own swap page, or in any wallet or app that routes through Topaz. NovaPier opens no pools on other chains: the locked pool lives on the token's home chain.

What fees will I pay?

These are default fees. Read live factory settings for new launches and the token's own frozen terms for an existing launch. Trading uses Topaz's live pool fee; gas and LayerZero delivery are separate costs.

Place a bid
0.25% of the full bidDeducted upfront. Not returned if the launch fails or your bid only partly fills.
Launch graduates
1% success fee in totalOn filled bids, including the 0.25% bid fee already taken; 0.75% is allocated at graduation. With a referrer that 0.75% goes to them in full and NovaPier keeps the bid fee. Without one, NovaPier gets the full 1%. The creator gets none of it. On Arc, fee payouts follow in a separate transaction.

Refund example: a 1 ETH bid in a failed launch leaves 0.9975 ETH claimable after the bid fee. Gas is separate.

Where collected trading fees go

A swap pays the fee in what it sells: a buy pays in the pool's quote token (WETH on Robinhood Chain, WBNB on BNB Smart Chain, USDC on Arc or WETH on Base), a sell pays in the launch token.

Buys · fee in the quote token
Creator 50% · Locked pool 30% · NovaPier 20%Shares of the quote fees collected by the locked position, not percentages of the whole purchase.
Sells · fee in the launch token
Liquidity + eligible burnsPaired into the locked position. Leftover fee tokens burn only after a successful add; a skipped add carries them forward.

How compounding works

Creator and NovaPier payouts come from the quote-token side. The pool's share of both assets is paired and added to the locked position when someone compounds; launch tokens left unpaired after an add are burned, and unpaired quote waits for a later call. There is no compounding swap. Anyone can compound, and a creator fee claim does so too. Creator rewards are claimed on the token's home chain.

Compounding adds liquidity. It does not guarantee a higher token price or a particular exit price.

Can my token go to other chains?

Every token launches on its home chain (Robinhood Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Arc or Base), where its auction runs and its Topaz pool opens. Bids use ETH on Robinhood Chain, BNB on BNB Smart Chain, USDC on Arc and ETH on Base. Pools and creator rewards use WETH on Robinhood Chain, WBNB on BNB Smart Chain, USDC on Arc or WETH on Base. On Arc, bids and refunds use ERC-20 USDC; approve the bid amount when prompted. Network gas is also paid in USDC.

Yes, by bridging. Every token is multichain-ready, powered by LayerZero. After it graduates, anyone can open bridging to another launch chain: one transaction there creates the token at the same address it has at home, and one at home opens the route. They pay only gas and LayerZero delivery. 12 routes connect Robinhood Chain, BNB Smart Chain, Arc and Base; more can be added later.

Bridging: once a chain is open, any holder can bridge between it and the home chain. Tokens sent out are locked at home and released when they come back, so bridging never adds supply. Moving between two other chains goes through home.

Markets: NovaPier opens and funds no pools on other chains. The locked Topaz pool and creator rewards stay on the home chain. Anyone may create a market for the token elsewhere; it has its own price and its liquidity is not locked by NovaPier.

Each token starts with one billion tokens, minted once. By default 50% is offered in the auction and 50% is held for the pool; each launch freezes its own split. There is no reserve. Unsold auction tokens and unpaired pool-share tokens burn at graduation. A failed launch burns its token shares. Leftover fee tokens burn only after a successful liquidity add. Burns reduce total supply; bridging adds no extra shared supply.

Locked liquidity does not protect token prices. You can lose what you put in.
