Graduation

Every Salvo token graduates at $50,000. Graduation is the moment the bonding curve sells out and the token moves to a real liquidity pool.

What triggers it

The curve holds 800,000,000 tokens. When the last of them is bought, graduation triggers automatically. The final buy is capped to the remaining inventory and any excess USDC is refunded in the same transaction, so the last buyer never overpays.

What happens in that transaction

Graduation is atomic. In the single transaction that sells out the curve:

1. The curve closes forever. After graduation, all curve functions revert.
2. The liquidity allocation of 200,000,000 tokens (20% of supply), plus the roughly $10,000 of USDC raised on the curve, seed a pool at the graduation price.
3. The liquidity position is locked permanently in a locker contract that has no withdraw function. The liquidity can never be pulled.

From then on the token trades in a Uniswap v4 pool with the Salvo hook. The same trading fee and burn split continue for the life of the token; the pool's own liquidity-provider fee is zero (see Fees). SalvoPool is the fallback graduation venue.

The app marks the moment: a full-screen celebration, a permanent graduated badge on the token, and a share card.

Graduation itself is free. No fee is taken on the raise or on the liquidity.
