Methods

Different tokens need different launch mechanics.

Each Method is a set of Pons V2 launch parameters. Once a token launches, its creator tax and pair asset are fixed by the contracts, and its Method is written into its on-chain description.

Pure launch. Zero creator tax.

Creator tax is set to 0% and cannot be raised after launch.
Buybacks are off. Traders pay the standard Pons trading fee only.

creatorTaxBps = 0, buybackEnabled = false

Fees buy the token back and lock it.

Part of the creator's fee share is spent buying the token from the market.
Bought-back tokens go to the Pons Buyback Vault and vest over five years, split between creator and protocol.

buybackEnabled = true, creatorTaxBps = 0

Your opening buy, in the launch transaction.

The token is created and the creator's first buy executes in the same transaction through the Pons launch-and-buy router.
Nothing can trade between creation and the dev buy, so it cannot be front-run.

launchAndBuy(quoteIn), creatorTaxBps = 0

Direct launch fees to a cause.

Launched through the Pons Charity contracts. An ownerless distributor becomes the fee recipient at launch, so nobody can redirect the fees afterwards.
At least half of the creator side of every trading fee goes to the charity; the creator keeps the remainder.

creatorFeeRecipient = CharityDistributor, charityBps >= 5000

Earn up to 10% creator tax.

The creator chooses a tax between 0% and 10%, visible to every buyer before they trade.
The rate is written into the launch and can never be raised.

creatorTaxBps = 0..1000
