Launchpad · soon
Launch a token. Every trade funds your idea.
You set a 5–35% tax on trades and the starting market cap. The tax comes to you from the first trade: forever, or until your round reaches its target.
The first launch is picked from projects running offers with creators on Unbacked. Applying takes a minute: no field is required.
How a launch works
- 1
You set the terms
A 5–35% tax on every trade, evergreen or a round, and the starting market cap. They're fixed at launch.
- 2
The supply goes into the pool
The tokens go into a Uniswap v4 pool on Robinhood Chain on one side only: no stablecoins needed. Up to 10% of the supply can be kept for creators.
- 3
Every trade pays the tax
Each buy and sell pays your tax to you, or to your company if you launch with a DAO LLC. The founder gets 0 tokens: the tax is how you earn.
- 4
Your record is public
Backers see what you've done on Unbacked: verified views, offers and payouts. We check it; you don't write it.
Two ways to raise money
Evergreen
The tax goes on forever.
- You set it at launch, and it can't be changed after that: not up, not down.
- It comes to you with every trade, for as long as the token trades.
- Your income grows with trading.
Round
A target in dollars, and the tax ends when it's reached.
- The tax comes to you right away, as it's collected.
- There's no deadline: the round lasts until the target is reached.
- Once it's reached, the tax becomes 0 forever.
- Everyone sees the progress.
Two kinds of promises
What backers can count on is up to the founder. We call each model what it is.
Trust me bro
The token is tied to the founder, and promises rest only on their reputation and record on Unbacked.
- No company or paperwork needed.
- Whatever you promise backers, nothing but your word stands behind it.
- Your public record on Unbacked is what backers judge you by.
Equity through a Wyoming DAO LLC
Your company gives a share to a DAO LLC, and the tokens are membership interests in it.
- You need a company, and at launch its share must belong to the DAO LLC.
- Payouts go to all holders pro rata, by smart contract.
- If the DAO's share is sold, holders' tokens are bought back: at the current price or higher automatically, below it only by a holders' vote.
- We can set up the DAO LLC for a fee, or you do it yourself and show all the proofs before launch.
- The tax goes to your company.
- Optional: KYC-only wallets and limits by country, only if you want them. Uniswap v4 permissioned pools check them on every trade.
Three paths, one example
Say you want to remake cult games of the 2000s with modern tech. Here's how each path looks.
Fun idea

- Backers get
- Perks: early access, a name in the credits, a say in what's remade next
- Tax
- Evergreen, 5–10%
- Promises
- Trust me bro
One project
Postal 2 rebuilt with modern tech. It needs $100k.
- Backers get
- 30% of the game's revenue after release
- Tax
- Round: 35% until $100k, then 0% forever

- Trust me bro or a DAO LLC
At 35%, collecting $100k takes $285,714 of trading.

For creators and backers
A founder can keep up to 10% of the supply for creators. It's paid out through Unbacked offers: post about the project and earn its tokens, as in any offer.

Questions
Can the tax change after launch?
No. The tax and the mode are set at launch and can't be changed. The only change is in a round: once the target is reached, the tax becomes 0 forever.
What happens after a round?
The tax becomes 0% for good and the token keeps trading. The money is already with the founder: it came in with each trade.
Does the founder get tokens?
No. The founder gets 0 tokens and earns only from the tax. Up to 10% of the supply can go to creators through Unbacked offers; the rest is in the pool.
Who adds liquidity?
Nobody has to. The tokens go into the pool on one side, at the starting market cap the founder sets, with no stablecoins. The tokens stay locked in the pool and every dollar in it comes from buyers, so anyone can sell at any time.
What if the founder disappears?
The token keeps trading and anyone can sell. With trust me bro, the founder's promises rest only on their word and record: that's the risk. With a DAO LLC, the company's share belongs to the DAO LLC, payouts go by smart contract, and holders decide together what happens next.
Can I limit who buys?
Yes, if you want to: KYC-only wallets and limits by country, through Uniswap v4 permissioned pools that check every trade. It's an option, not a rule: by default anyone can trade.
When does it open?
Soon. The first launch is picked from projects running offers with creators on Unbacked. Apply, start an offer and join the waitlist to hear first.
