Vela documentation
Vela is the first RWA-backed token launchpad on Robinhood Chain. It lets anyone create a real, tradable token in about a minute — deployed from your own wallet, paired against USDG (a fully-reserved stablecoin backed by real-world assets), with liquidity seeded and permanently locked automatically, and listed in the live feed the instant it goes on-chain.
The idea in one line: you bring a name, a ticker and a logo — Vela handles the token, the USDG-paired pool, and the lock, so your community can start trading immediately against a stable, real-world-asset-backed quote asset, with no team-held liquidity to pull.
Every token that launches on Vela follows the exact same rules. There are no hidden mint functions, no adjustable taxes, and no privileged owner who can drain the pool. Because the contract logic is fixed and identical for every launch — and every contract is verifiable on the block explorer — buyers know exactly what they're getting before they trade.
What you can do here
- Launch a coin — deploy a fixed-supply token and its liquidity pool from your own keys.
- Explore & trade — browse every token launched on Vela, view live price charts, trades and volume, and buy or sell directly.
- Earn — as a creator, collect a share of the trading fees your token generates, forever.
How it works
Launching on Vela is a single on-chain transaction that you sign from your own wallet. Here's the full lifecycle:
1. Create
Open Launch a coin, enter a token name, symbol and logo, and optionally set a small creator allocation for yourself. A live preview shows exactly what will be deployed.
2. Deploy from your keys
You sign one transaction. Vela's factory contract deploys a brand-new ERC-20 with a fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens and 18 decimals. You are the deployer — Vela never holds your keys.
3. Liquidity is seeded & locked
In the same transaction, the token supply is seeded into a single-sided Uniswap V3 pool paired against USDG (token-only — you don't add any USDG or ETH yourself), and the liquidity position is permanently locked. There is no unlock button and no team wallet holding the LP.
4. It lands in the live feed
The moment the transaction confirms, your token appears in Explore coins and Top Mooners for everyone to find. No manual listing, no approval queue.
5. Trading & price discovery
Anyone can now buy or sell against the pool. As people buy, the price rises along the curve; as they sell, it falls. The token's chart, trades feed and volume are all reconstructed live from on-chain swap events.
Pricing & launch mechanics
Because liquidity is single-sided (all token, no USDG at launch), price is set entirely by where the pool starts on the curve and then discovered by the market as people trade. Every token is priced in USDG, so its value is denominated in a stable, real-world-asset-backed unit rather than a volatile coin.
Starting valuation: every Vela token launches at a low fixed starting valuation (the exact figure is shown on the Create screen before you confirm). That means the very first buy-in is cheap — an early supporter can take a meaningful position for only a small amount — and the price climbs from there in USDG terms as more people buy.
Why single-sided liquidity?
Traditional launches require the creator to pair their token with real capital to make a market — which is exactly what a rug-puller later drains. Vela removes that entirely: the pool is seeded with token only, so there's no starting USDG for anyone to pull. The USDG in the pool only ever arrives from real buyers.
The creator allocation
When you launch, you can optionally keep a small creator allocation (up to 4% of supply) for yourself. This is taken out of the pool's liquidity, so a larger allocation means slightly less depth in the pool. Most creators keep it at 0% for maximum fairness, but it's there if you want a starting position.
Max wallet
Every token enforces a 2% max wallet at the contract level. No single address can accumulate more than 2% of supply, which blunts snipers and whales trying to corner a fresh launch.
Fees
Vela keeps fees simple and transparent. There are two:
Launch fee
A small flat fee, paid once when you deploy your token. The exact amount is always shown on the Create a token screen before you confirm, so there are no surprises.
Trading fee
Every buy and sell routes through a 1% fee-tier pool. That 1% trading fee is split 50 / 50:
| 50% to the creator | You earn half of every trading fee your token generates — for as long as it trades. This accrues to you automatically. |
| 50% to Vela treasury | The other half funds the platform. No per-trade tax beyond the standard pool fee, and the split never changes. |
No hidden taxes. The 1% pool fee is the only trading cost. There is no separate buy/sell tax baked into the token contract, and the split cannot be altered after launch.
Liquidity & safety
Vela's whole design goal is to make the most common rug vectors structurally impossible, not just discouraged. Here's what's guaranteed for every launch:
| RWA-backed quote asset | Every token is paired against USDG, a fully-reserved stablecoin backed by real-world assets — so markets are denominated in real value, not a volatile coin. |
| Liquidity permanently locked | The LP position is locked at deploy time. There is no unlock function — the creator cannot pull liquidity, ever. |
| Single-sided seeding | The pool starts with token only and no USDG, so there's no founder capital sitting in the pool to drain. |
| Fixed 1B supply | Supply is minted once at 1,000,000,000 and is final. There is no mint function to inflate holders later. |
| 2% max wallet | Enforced on-chain so no single wallet can quietly accumulate a dominant position. |
| Verifiable contracts | Every token is deployed from the same fixed, published factory source. One click takes you to the contract on the block explorer, where its code can be verified against that source — so anyone can confirm exactly what they're trading. |
| Deployed from your keys | You are the deployer and sole owner of your creator-fee stream. Vela never custodies your tokens or keys. |
A note on risk. These guarantees protect against liquidity rugs and stealth mints — they do not guarantee a token will hold or gain value. Memecoins are highly volatile and most go to zero. Prices are driven entirely by market demand. Only ever spend what you can afford to lose, and do your own research. Nothing here is financial advice.
