Vela is an instant launchpad on Vela. Every token you launch goes live on a permanently-locked Uniswap V3 pool the moment it deploys, paired against ETH, with fixed supply and single-sided liquidity locked at launch, all in one transaction. Every contract is verifiable on-chain, so buyers can check the code before they trade. Vela doesn't vouch for any token or guarantee a market, and rankings reflect on-chain momentum, not a signal to buy. Prices can move quickly, so trade carefully.

Vela is an instant launchpad on Vela. It lets anyone create a real, tradable token in about a minute — deployed from your own wallet and priced in ETH. There is no bonding curve: the moment you launch, the token's entire supply is placed as single-sided liquidity into a permanently-locked Uniswap V3 pool, so it's live and tradable from the first block.
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 — the launchpad is immutable with no admin — and verifiable on the block explorer, buyers know exactly what they're getting before they trade.
0x6EAadb0bD6C0ed573BDdA43bbA9c85d6f499e211 — VelaInstantLaunchpad (chainId 4663). Every token you see here was launched by, and trades through, this one immutable contract.Launching on Vela is a single on-chain transaction that you sign from your own wallet. Here's the full lifecycle:
Open Launch a coin, enter a token name, symbol and logo. A live preview shows exactly what will be deployed.
You sign one transaction. Vela's launchpad 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.
In the same transaction, the entire 1B supply is placed as single-sided, token-only liquidity into a fresh Uniswap V3 pool quoted in ETH, and the LP position is immediately locked. There is no ETH seeded into the pool for anyone to pull — buyers bring the ETH, and price discovery starts from the very first trade.
The moment the transaction confirms, your token appears under New tokens launched and Top Mooners for everyone to find — live and tradable right away. No manual listing, no approval queue, no waiting to graduate.
Anyone can now buy or sell directly on the token's locked Uniswap V3 pool. As people buy, ETH enters the pool and the price rises; as they sell, it falls — standard concentrated-liquidity AMM pricing, denominated in ETH.
For a short window right after launch (about 15 minutes), a 2% max-wallet cap is enforced on-chain to blunt snipers and bots trying to corner a brand-new launch. The cap lifts automatically once the window passes — no action needed from anyone.
Price is set by the token's Uniswap V3 pool, quoted in ETH. At launch the full supply is placed as single-sided token-only liquidity across a fixed price range, so the token opens at a low starting price with zero ETH in the pool. Each buy pushes ETH into the pool and moves the price up along the concentrated-liquidity range; each sell does the reverse. Price discovery starts from the very first trade.
There is no bonding curve and no graduation step. A token is live on its locked pool the instant it deploys, and every token card shows it as live. The green bar on each card reflects that live status rather than progress toward any threshold.
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 holds no ETH at launch for anyone to pull, and the LP position is locked the moment it's created. ETH only ever arrives from real buyers.
For a short window right after launch, each token enforces a 2% max wallet at the contract level, so no single address can corner more than 2% of supply while the token is brand new. This anti-snipe cap lifts automatically once the window ends.
Vela keeps fees simple and transparent. There are two:
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.
Every buy and sell runs through the token's Uniswap V3 pool, which charges a fixed 1% swap fee. That 1% accrues inside the locked LP position and is split 70 / 30:
| 70% to the creator | You earn the majority of every trading fee your token generates — for as long as it trades. It accrues in the pool and you claim it to your deployer wallet any time. |
| 30% to Vela treasury | The remaining share funds the platform. No per-trade tax beyond the standard pool fee, and the split never changes. |
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:
| ETH-paired market | Every token is priced in ETH, the native asset of the chain — so buyers trade with the asset they already hold. |
| Liquidity locked at launch | The full supply is placed as single-sided liquidity into a permanently-locked Uniswap V3 pool in the launch transaction, with no unlock function. There is no ETH in the pool at launch to pull, and the creator cannot pull liquidity, ever. |
| Fair, instant market | Every token is live on the same kind of locked pool from the first block. No bonding-curve insider position and no privileged path to accumulate ahead of the public. |
| 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 (anti-snipe) | Enforced on-chain during the launch window so no single wallet can quietly corner a fresh launch. The cap lifts automatically afterward. |
| Immutable, verifiable contract | Every token is launched by the same fixed launchpad contract (0x6EAadb…e211), which has no owner or admin. One click takes you to it on the block explorer, where its code can be verified — 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.
Vela's launch and trading path is built from two on-chain pieces: the immutable launchpad that deploys each token and opens its pool, and the locker that holds every LP position permanently. In-app trades go through the standard Uniswap V3 router — Vela never sits between you and your funds.
| Launchpad — VelaInstantLaunchpad | 0x41686fD936AA2CC1f24147aDEa5CB84A970a9456 — deploys the ERC-20, mints the fixed 1B supply, opens the single-sided Uniswap V3 pool and locks the LP, all in one call. |
| Locker — VelaLocker | 0x5b629108634f2ad000e2b96e4bb79aee98315e2d — permanently holds each token's LP NFT and lets only the creator collect their share of accrued pool fees. |
| No owner or admin | The launchpad has no owner, admin role, or privileged caller. Nothing about a launch can be changed after the fact — the rules are the same for every token. |
| No withdraw, no upgrade | There is no withdraw, sweep-to-owner, self-destruct, or upgrade/proxy function. The deployed logic is fixed and cannot be swapped out later. |
| LP locked at launch | The full supply is deployed as single-sided liquidity and the LP position is locked in the same transaction. There is no unlock function, so liquidity cannot be pulled. |
| Fees to the creator | The 1% pool fee accrues in the locked position and is split 70/30 to creator/platform. Only the creator can trigger collection of their share, to their own wallet. |
| Non-custodial trading | Buys and sells route through the public Uniswap V3 router and settle to your wallet. Vela holds no balance between transactions. |
| Anti-snipe cap | A 2% max-wallet cap is enforced on-chain for a short window after launch, then lifts automatically — no admin action involved. |
Scope & honest caveats. These properties protect against liquidity rugs, stealth mints and owner backdoors — the causes of most on-chain losses. They are not a substitute for a formal third-party audit, and no contract that handles real funds should ever be described as un-exploitable in absolute terms. As with any market, thin liquidity can be sandwiched by MEV bots up to your chosen slippage tolerance, and memecoins remain highly volatile. Trade only what you can afford to lose. Nothing here is financial advice.
