Know your market.
The mechanics behind hedge. From choosing a quote asset to confirming a launch—what happens, what you authorize, and what stays in your control.
Solana mainnet · SOL preparation requires current configuration verification. USDC launches and creator Claim & Convert remain unavailable.
A market, on your terms
hedge is a quote-aware market studio on Solana. Market creation, creator allocation preferences, and market intelligence are separate parts of the experience—not promises of automatic trading or guaranteed returns.
A wallet authorizes onchain actions. A hedge account stores allocation presets. Connecting either does not prove that you own a token, control its fee beneficiary, or have permission to claim its fees.
- Market studio: select a quote asset, define your token, and review a launch.
- Creator terminal: set allocation preferences and inspect fee-source availability.
- Market intelligence: inspect indexed pools and verified launch attribution.
Wallets & accounts
The wallet connection accepts compatible wallet-standard accounts on Solana mainnet with transaction and message signing. The connection dialog lists detected wallets; no sample wallet or balance is substituted when none is available.
Use the account sign-in in the allocation editor to save presets. Presets belong to that account and do not grant authority over a connected wallet. Changing wallets invalidates a prepared launch and requires preparation again.
- Keep recovery phrases and private keys out of websites, support requests, and screenshots.
- Hold sufficient SOL for network fees and account rent, even when another quote asset is selected.
- Read the wallet’s message or transaction before approving. Disconnecting does not reverse a submitted transaction.
Quote assets & exposure
A quote asset is what the token trades against. A SOL quote exposes the market’s dollar value to SOL price movements as well as the token’s own price. USDC denomination would change that exposure; it would not make the token dollar-backed, redeemable, or safer.
SOL launch preparation is supported only when the current hedge configuration verifies successfully. An onchain USDC global configuration has been identified, but quote-specific launch parameters and SDK catalog support are incomplete. USDC launches remain blocked; SOL defaults are never reused.
USDT, JitoSOL, mSOL, gold, and treasury-linked quotes remain planned or unverified. An asset logo in the studio is catalog information, not a listing, an endorsement, or authorization to launch.
Creating a market
Choose a quote asset, then enter the token’s name, ticker, description, artwork, and optional links. Crop the artwork before reviewing it. Only publish artwork and links you have the right to use.
Set a creator allocation preference totaling exactly 100%. The preference is separate from the token’s launch parameters and does not modify Raydium’s native fee beneficiaries. An optional initial buy is denominated in the selected quote asset.
At review, inspect the current platform, quote configuration, fees, supply, and graduation parameters. Any missing or unsupported configuration blocks preparation rather than falling back to another asset’s defaults.
- Open market studio → choose market → define token → set allocation → review.
- A form preview is not a created token or confirmed market.
- Metadata publishing can occur before a launch. Canceling later does not remove already-pinned content.
Preparation, signing & confirmation
Preparation verifies current mainnet configuration and wallet balances. A signed message authorizes artwork and metadata publishing to IPFS only; that message does not authorize a launch transaction or fee conversion.
The official SDK builds transactions attributed to the hedge platform. The first stage is simulated without broadcasting. A dependent stage is simulated after the preceding transaction confirms, before it is signed and submitted.
Execution requires the separate mainnet signing action and approval in your wallet. Transactions are submitted in order, with signature and prepared-message integrity checks. After confirmation, the pool is checked against the expected mint and hedge platform.
- Preparation expires after five minutes and also depends on blockhash validity.
- Simulation is a check, not a guarantee of successful execution.
- For a partial launch or pending confirmation, inspect submitted signatures before retrying. Confirmed transactions cannot be undone by canceling the page.
Platform verification & fees
The official hedge LaunchLab PlatformConfig is 7qDXaSh8QoRTzV5N3NxC1bddpy9kQZYRL9Y8ndBpmG5d on Solana mainnet. Discovery only includes LaunchLab program-owned pools attributed to this platform.
The verified platform configuration records a 1% platform fee and a 0.5% creator fee, with no global-config or curve restrictions at the last verification. Review reads the current configuration; authorization and quote-specific requirements are evaluated separately.
These fee rates are not an all-in launch cost or a guaranteed creator payout. Protocol charges, network fees, account rent, and an optional initial buy are separate. Quote-specific graduation and migration values come from verified configuration, not universal defaults.
Creator allocation
The allocation editor supports SOL and USDC preferences that must total exactly 100%. You can edit them while disconnected. Saving, reading, and deleting presets requires a hedge account; access is scoped to that account.
The intended Claim & Convert workflow starts with eligible native fees, then shows a conversion review before wallet authorization. Allocation does not automatically split earnings, move beneficiary destinations, rebalance your wallet, or hedge exposure in the background.
Creator fee-source adapters and swap execution are not connected. Claim and conversion actions therefore remain unavailable. Saving an allocation does not activate them.
Markets & intelligence
Discovery reads hedge-attributed mainnet pools. If no verified pool is found, the board stays empty. It does not generate sample listings, volume, prices, or market capitalization.
Market intelligence can inspect a valid mint address and indexed liquidity data. An indexed pool is not necessarily a hedge launch; the launch attribution section verifies that separately.
Missing authority checks, dollar statistics, or fee sources stay unavailable. No invented safety score is assigned. Verify mint addresses, liquidity, token authorities, and transaction status independently before making a decision.
Bonding & graduation
LaunchLab markets can move through bonding, migrating, and graduated states. The observed state and quote-denominated raised and target values come from the pool’s onchain records.
Graduation parameters depend on the verified quote and launch configuration. Reaching a target does not guarantee future liquidity, trading activity, a specific price, or creator earnings. Post-graduation fee entitlements are separate from pre-graduation fees.
Essential terms
Mint: a token’s onchain identifier. Tickers and names are not unique; compare the full mint address.
Pool: the onchain market account. PlatformConfig: the configuration used to attribute and configure a platform launch. GlobalConfig: protocol-level quote requirements, distinct from platform authorization.
Quote asset: the asset a token is priced against. Slippage: the difference between an expected and executed exchange price. Account rent: SOL required for onchain account storage.
IPFS URI: a content-addressed metadata reference, typically beginning with ipfs://. Transaction signature: an identifier used to inspect a transaction’s onchain status. Simulation: a non-broadcast execution check.
