Bonding-curve token launches with hidden buyers, visible price action

A Pump.fun-style launchpad where bonding-curve mechanics, trade sizes, and the social feed stay fully visible - but no observer can attribute any trade to any wallet. Whales buy without triggering copy-trade cascades; devs sell without panic dumps.

What this enables

  • Whale-safe token launches. A 50K USDC buy is visible. The price impact is visible. The buyer is not. No Nansen alert. No "smart money" notification. No copy-trade cascade.
  • Dev-safe token creation. Creators launch without their wallet becoming a permanent surveillance target. Sells show on the curve (price drops); attribution to the dev wallet does not.
  • Anonymous participation across launches. Users participate in dozens of launches without building a trackable on-chain profile. No wallet-level history for analytics to aggregate.
  • Post-graduation privacy continuity. When a token graduates to Ekubo, the existing swap helper keeps trading private. Full lifecycle anonymity - no other chain offers this.

What you build

A BondingCurveFactory deploying per-token curves. Each curve is a privacy_invoke helper handling buy / sell / graduate. Buyers route USDC notes through the pool, the curve computes tokens-out, returns them as an OpenNoteDeposit. At market-cap threshold, anyone calls graduate and liquidity migrates to Ekubo with the curve's final price. The social feed reads public events (amounts, timestamps, price) - just no "who."

What it doesn't solve

Sniping. Bots that monitor for new contract deployments still work - they don't need to know who you are to front-run. Anti-snipe (launch delay, commit-reveal first block, rate limits, graduated fees) is layered on top as optional modules.

The revenue argument

Pump.fun does $25–31M/month in fees even in bear markets. A Starknet version capturing 1% of the memecoin launch market is $250–310K/month. The privacy angle attracts the segment most willing to pay premium fees for anonymity - whales, alpha hunters, sensitive creators.

Hidden vs visible

| Element | Hidden | Visible | | --- | --- | --- | | Buyer / seller identity | Yes - paymaster submits all tx | | | Trade amounts | | Yes - open notes are plaintext | | Price, market cap, supply | | Yes - bonding curve state is public | | Dev token holdings | Yes - encrypted notes in the pool | | | Total volume, trade history | | Yes (aggregate) - but not attributable |
