# Architecture

Curve structure is simple but concrete, giving creators all functions needed.

## Curve

### A social trading platform built around tokens and their communities

#### 1. The product in one sentence

Curve brings token discovery, social context, trading, creator tools and token communities together in one product, with a planned focus on Robinhood Chain.

A user can find a token through a post or a followed trader, inspect its market and holder information, trade it, and join the community around it without losing the social context that led them there. A creator can introduce a token, build an audience around it, keep its community active and see how it is trading.

Curve’s opportunity is not that every individual feature is new. Token launchpads, social trading apps and token communities already exist. The opportunity is to make them work together as one coherent product, with a clear Robinhood Chain focus.

#### 2. The problem Curve is designed to solve

Today, discovering a token, understanding why people care about it, evaluating its market, trading it and joining its community often means moving between separate products. That creates friction for traders and fragments the audience creators are trying to build.

It can also make it harder to assess a token in context. A price chart alone does not show who is discussing the asset, what a creator is saying, whether a community is active, or whether people a user follows are buying, selling or closing positions. Social posts alone do not make it easy to inspect a token’s trading details.

Curve is designed to connect those moments:

* **Discovery to research:** Token posts and callouts open into a token page with market, trade, holder and creator information.
* **Research to action:** Users can review trade settings and buy or sell from the token page.
* **Action to community:** A token can have a dedicated Circle where holders and interested users can meet.
* **Community to ongoing engagement:** Creators can post updates, call out a token and, when available, stream around it.

The goal is to make this journey easier to follow—not to suggest that social information removes trading risk.

#### 3. How the main product works

A user joins Curve, follows people and tokens that interest them, and sees posts, market activity and community updates in one place. A token address shared in a post can be recognized and shown with a token card, giving readers a route to the asset’s details.

From there, a user can open the token page, review its chart and available market data, check trades and holders, and choose whether to trade. The product is designed to keep the token’s Circle, creator information and relevant social activity close to the market view.

A creator can prepare a token launch with its name, ticker, image, description, links and pool choice. Curve’s current intended launch model uses a 3 ETH graduation threshold and V3/V4 pool options. The pool, pair and graduation flow must be confirmed as available for the selected asset before a launch is presented as executable. Tokenized-stock pair choices are a planned expansion, not a confirmed launch-day capability.

#### 4. Product features and their utility

**Social timeline and posts**

The timeline supports short-form posts, token signals, images, audio, video, files and other media. Users can respond, like or dislike, repost, quote-repost, bookmark and share posts. A full post view brings its comments and replies together, so conversations are easier to follow.

When a post includes a recognized token address, the post can display a token card rather than leaving the address as an unexplained string. The intent is to preserve the author’s commentary while giving readers a direct path to inspect the referenced asset.

**Why it matters:** Creators can publish in the same place where their audience discusses and discovers tokens. Traders get more context around a market than a ticker or chart alone.

**Discover and token markets**

Discover combines search with trends, hashtags, token rankings and suggestions for people to follow. The markets section is designed for browsing tokens by activity, visits, volume and other available market signals, with both card and table views.

Token pages bring together a chart, price and market information, trades, holders, token details and social links. Trading controls are designed to support buy and sell amounts, slippage and quick-buy preferences. The user should be able to review the transaction before confirming it.

**Why it matters:** It shortens the path from “I heard about this” to “I understand what it is and where it trades.” Rankings and trends are discovery aids, not endorsements or guarantees of token quality.

**Token launches and creator controls**

The launch flow is intended to let creators enter token details, attach an image and social links, choose supported pool options, and review the fee breakdown before confirming. The intended Robinhood Chain model has a 3 ETH graduation threshold; V3/V4 pool execution and graduation adapters remain subject to launch validation.

Creators are also intended to be able to configure their share of fees, including routing to their own account wallet, another eligible address or the token’s liquidity pool, subject to the final on-chain controls and review. A creator dashboard brings launches, trading activity, holdings and fee information into one place.

**Why it matters:** Launching should be the beginning of a creator’s relationship with a community, not a one-time deployment followed by a disconnected marketing effort.

**Circles and direct messages**

Each token may have a dedicated Circle for discussion. Users must join before sending messages. Circle owners can manage members and assign administrator or moderator permissions. Circle conversations are designed to support media and token-address previews, while direct messages provide a separate space for one-to-one conversations.

**Why it matters:** A token’s discussion is attached to the token rather than scattered across unrelated chats. Moderation tools help communities set their own standards.

**Profiles, holdings and creator dashboards**

Profiles can bring together a user’s bio, social links, wallet identity, posts, callouts, holdings and transaction history. Where information is available, a profile can show token activity and positions, with separate views for holdings, open positions and past transactions.

Creator dashboards are designed to show token launches and related activity, including trade history and fee destinations. Public trading and P\&L displays need clear methodology and privacy choices; they should not be mistaken for verified investment performance.

**Why it matters:** A profile can provide continuity between someone’s public commentary and their token activity, while letting users assess that context for themselves.

**Callouts and followed-activity feed**

A holder can call attention to a token they hold. Callouts are designed to show relevant context such as the token, the caller and available position information. An in-app feed can surface activity from people the user follows, including buys, sells, closed positions, callouts, token launches, shared interest in a token and selected price or profit milestones.

Buy and sell activity is visually distinguished, and the feed is designed to refresh while open. These are social signals—not trade instructions, proof of skill or recommendations.

**Why it matters:** Traders can follow activity from people they choose to follow and decide whether it merits further research.

**Token livestreams**

A token creator is intended to be able to start or end a livestream associated with their token page, with a live indicator shown in relevant market and timeline views. A stream can also be presented from a supported external streaming service.

**Why it matters:** A creator can speak to their community in the context of the token itself. A live stream does not verify claims made by a creator or reduce the risks of a token.

**Wallet and trade experience**

Curve is designed around EVM-compatible transactions on Robinhood Chain, with a wallet experience for viewing an address, balances, holdings and activity. The product direction is sign-in followed by a securely provisioned account wallet; it should never ask a user to post a seed phrase or private key into a message or support conversation.

Withdrawals are intended to be restricted to whitelisted addresses, with a five-hour activation delay after a new address is added. This kind of delay is meant to give users time to notice an unauthorized change, not to guarantee that a withdrawal is safe.

**Developer access**

A public-facing API and token data access are part of Curve’s product direction. They can help developers build community tools, token dashboards and integrations around Curve markets. Availability, coverage and service commitments need to be established before developers rely on them in production.

#### 5. How Curve differs from existing products

Curve should be compared fairly: the market already includes strong products with overlapping capabilities.

| Product      | Publicly described focus                                                                                                                                                             | Curve’s intended distinction                                                                                                                                                                                                                        |
| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pump.fun** | Token creation, bonding-curve trading and automatic graduation to PumpSwap. Its own documentation describes coins trading from launch and a current 1.25% bonding-curve trading fee. | Curve aims to connect token markets with persistent profiles, followed-activity feeds, token Circles, creator tools and livestreams. It is a broader social-and-community product, not simply a launch flow.                                        |
| **FOMO**     | Social trading with a feed, trader discovery, leaderboard, alerts and multi-chain access. FOMO publicly describes Robinhood Chain support.                                           | Curve’s intended emphasis is the lifecycle around a token: creator launch, token-specific Circle, posts and callouts, token page, market activity and creator fee controls. Social trading itself is not unique to Curve.                           |
| **Pons**     | Token launches and trading on Robinhood Chain. Its documentation describes direct Uniswap V3 pools, WETH pairs, locked liquidity and launch protection.                              | Curve’s intended emphasis is integrating token-native communities, broader social publishing, followed-user activity, creator livestreams and holder context alongside trading. Robinhood Chain launches and Uniswap pools are not unique to Curve. |

#### 6. Core innovations and market gap

Curve’s central product idea is to treat a token as more than a chart or a launch transaction. A token can have a creator, a stream, a dedicated community, a public discussion history, a holder context and an active market view.

The intended innovations are:

1. **Social-to-market continuity:** A token mentioned in a post can lead into its market page without losing the original discussion.
2. **Token-centered communities:** Each token can have a Circle with membership and moderation, keeping ongoing discussion attached to the asset.
3. **Followed activity with context:** Users can monitor selected trading and creator events from accounts they follow, then decide whether to research further.
4. **Creator economics and controls:** A creator’s fee share and supported destinations are visible as part of the launch and creator experience.
5. **Robinhood Chain focus:** Curve is being shaped for the Robinhood Chain ecosystem rather than positioning itself as a universal multi-chain terminal.

These features are necessary because attention, information and execution are often separated. Curve’s aim is to reduce that separation while keeping transaction choices explicit and token risks visible.

#### 7. Market opportunity and why now

The opportunity is meaningful but volatile. CoinGecko reported that the memecoin market reached a **$150.6 billion peak in December 2024**. Average daily memecoin trading volume rose from **$1.1 billion in 2023 to $9.7 billion in 2024**. The same report shows how quickly conditions changed: total memecoin market capitalization fell to **$47.2 billion by November 2025**. Launchpad-based memecoins averaged **$1.2 billion in daily volume in November 2025**, about **20.5% of memecoin volume**. These are historical indicators of activity and volatility—not a forecast for Curve. [CoinGecko, ](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/state-of-memecoins-2025)[*State of Memecoins 2025*](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/state-of-memecoins-2025)

The wider market also remains large and cyclical. CoinGecko reported that total crypto market capitalization ended Q2 2026 at **$2.1 trillion**, down **12.6% for the quarter**, while average daily trading volume was **$93.1 billion**, down **20.9% quarter over quarter**. That data supports the scale of digital-asset activity, but also underscores why a pitch should not assume a rising market. [CoinGecko, ](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/2026-q2-crypto-report)[*2026 Q2 Crypto Industry Report*](https://www.coingecko.com/research/publications/2026-q2-crypto-report)

The Robinhood Chain ecosystem adds a timely distribution and asset opportunity. Robinhood announced its public mainnet and named Uniswap among its day-one ecosystem participants. Its August 2026 monthly metrics reported **190+ stock tokens on Robinhood Chain**. Availability is subject to jurisdiction and product restrictions; Robinhood states that its Stock Tokens are not available in the U.S. or to U.S. persons and do not confer legal or beneficial rights in the underlying securities. Curve does not issue or guarantee those assets. [Robinhood newsroom](https://robinhood.com/newsroom/robinhood-accelerates-global-expansion-robinhood-chain-mainnet-stock-tokens-agentic-trading/) · [Robinhood August 2026 metrics](https://investors.robinhood.com/static-files/109c7fdf-8d1c-474a-b7db-c3ef5cecab6b)

**Why now:** Social trading is an established behavior, launchpad activity has demonstrated meaningful—if unstable—demand, and Robinhood Chain is opening a new on-chain ecosystem. The opportunity is to build for users who want social context and market access together, while being disciplined about compliance, execution quality and market risk.

These figures are market context, not a calculated Curve TAM/SAM/SOM. A credible market-size and revenue forecast still requires customer research, launch geography, eligible assets, adoption assumptions and actual operating data.

#### 8. Business model

**Approved intended transaction-fee schedule**

The current approved plan is a **1.35% fee on each buy and sell transaction**, allocated on gross trade value as follows:

* **0.40%** to the token creator
* **0.40%** to Curve’s treasury
* **0.25%** to the token’s liquidity pool
* **0.20% total** to the top 20 eligible holders, at **0.01% each**
* **0.10%** to a reserve wallet for a future $CURVE buyback and burn

For example, on **$10,000 of trade value**, the total fee would be **$135**: $40 to the creator, $40 to the treasury, $25 to the token LP, $1 to each of 20 eligible holders, and $10 to the buyback reserve.

The top 20 can change over time, so the eligible recipients and distribution rules need to be transparent and resistant to gaming. The $CURVE reserve is **not an automatic buyback or burn**: funds are intended to reach a wallet selected by the platform operator, who would manually buy $CURVE and send it to a burn address. Until that wallet and process are established, the reserve mechanism should not be marketed as completed.

**Potential additional revenue**

Sponsored market placements, developer or data services, and other creator or partner offerings could become additional revenue streams if users want them and they can be operated transparently. They are opportunities to validate, not current revenue claims. The **0.001 ETH launch fee** and paid Top 10 placements mentioned in an earlier proposal are not included in the approved base model.

#### 9. Use cases

* **Trader:** Finds a token through a followed creator, checks the chart, trades and joins its Circle to follow the discussion.
* **Token creator:** Launches a token, shares updates, builds a community, reviews activity and directs eligible creator fees.
* **Community member:** Joins a token Circle, follows its creator, asks questions and evaluates public market information.
* **Investor or analyst:** Reviews a token’s trading history, holder information, creator context and community activity without relying on a single social post.
* **Developer:** Uses public token data and available integrations to build tools for discovery, community management or market analysis.

#### 10. Readiness and important boundaries

Curve’s interface and demo help show the intended product experience. The platform should not be represented as a fully launched, audited mainnet trading business. Independent contract review, validated live trading and pool flows, secure account and wallet activation, production market data, reliable user support and jurisdiction-specific legal review remain important launch gates.

The proposed tokenized-stock pair picker also needs confirmation that the selected asset, pool and jurisdiction are supported before it is described as available for trading. Earlier ideas—including Telegram deployment and login, exclusive ticker rules, transfer locks, max-wallet or max-transaction limits, a 90% launch-block tax, fixed 2/4 ETH pool sizes, direct-pool launches without graduation, social-account fee routing, automated Telegram/X fee alerts and sponsored Top 10 positions—are **proposals for evaluation**, not current approved or live capabilities. Some conflict with Curve’s current 3 ETH graduation model or approved economics.

Curve should not imply guaranteed liquidity, safer returns, quality approval, security certification or investment performance. Tokens can lose most or all of their value; social activity and holder statistics can be incomplete or manipulated. Users need to make their own decisions, and all product availability must follow applicable laws and asset restrictions.
