Fair launch and LP burned badges

What the green and orange chips on the token list mean, and why you can trust them.

Token list

In shortFAIR LAUNCH means the token was launched on Saturn in one passkey transaction that pooled its whole supply and burned the liquidity. LP BURNED means at least 90% of a token's liquidity sits in burned pools. Both are checked from the chain, not from a label.

Fair launch
100% pooled, burned
Service launch
95% pooled vs TAZ, burned
LP burned
90% or more burned

People ask two questions of a new token: did the creator keep a pile of it, and can anyone pull the liquidity out? The token list answers both with a chip next to the symbol. Hover or long-press a chip for its explanation.

FAIR LAUNCH

The token was launched on Saturn with a passkey in one transaction: 100% of the supply went into the pool and the liquidity was burned forever. No team tokens, nothing left to mint. The token page adds one line with the launch date, the KCAL it was paired with, the creator and a link to the transaction.

SERVICE LAUNCH is the same promise for a Saturn service token: 95% of the supply pooled against TAZ and burned, and the other 5% disclosed on the service's profile.

LP BURNED

At least 90% of the token's liquidity, counted across every pool it trades in on v4 and v3, sits in burned pools that can never be withdrawn, and the token's supply is capped and fully minted. Any token can earn it, whoever created it. The chip shows the exact share when you hover it. Pools list the same fact with a small Burned tag.

The supply rule matters: if a token's owner can still mint, a burned pool protects nobody. The owner can print new tokens and sell them into the pool until its other side (KCAL, TAZ, SOUL…) is gone. Such tokens never get the chip, however much of their liquidity is burned.

Checked from the chain, not from a label

Anyone can write any label into a transaction, so a label proves nothing and earns nothing. Saturn Ops reads the launch transaction's own instructions back from the chain and checks each fact:

  • The transaction succeeded, created the token and minted all of it.
  • Its only other step pooled exactly the whole supply (95% for a service launch) from the creator's wallet and burned that pool. A launch that did anything more, a buy in the same transaction for example, earns no badge.
  • Right now the token's supply is fixed and fully minted, so nothing is left to mint.
  • Right now the pool registry says the launch pool is burned.

A badge describes how a token was launched and where its liquidity sits. It says nothing about whether the token is worth buying. Prices still move, and a burned pool can still be thin.

Why does a token I know was launched on Saturn show no chip?
Either the checks are still running, which takes a minute or so after launch, or one of the facts above does not hold for it.
Can a chip disappear?
A burn cannot be undone, so LP BURNED only goes away if new unburned liquidity pushes the share below 90%, or if more of the token can be minted. A launch chip goes away if the token's supply ever stops being fully minted.
Why do SOUL, KCAL and TAZ have no chip?
They were not launched on Saturn, and less than 90% of their liquidity sits in burned pools.
