the earlier you buy,
the longer you hold.

why the exponent is three

A linear lock still pays the first wallet in: buy at the open and wait a day, buy at half and wait twelve hours, and the cheap tokens are worth the wait either way. Cubing what is left of the curve collapses the middle instead. Half the curve costs three hours. Seventy per cent costs thirty-nine minutes. Ninety costs five.

So the cost falls on the wallet that lands in the first block and almost nowhere else, which is the only place it was ever meant to fall.

one vault per buy

Tokens go to a program account, not to your wallet. claim refuses before the unlock slot and there is no authority that can open it early, the pad included.

the curve is the pump.fun curve

Constant product against 1.073b virtual tokens and 30 virtual sol, 793.1m tokens sold before graduation at roughly 85 sol. The same arithmetic every trader here already reads, so the only new variable on the page is time.

The plot above is not an illustration of it. Both lines are computed from those constants at draw time, and the marker sits where the sliders put it.

what a launch costs

Pump.fun's create fee, about 0.02 sol, plus your dev buy if you make one, plus network fees. Slowpad charges nothing at launch and nothing on the way out, and there is no fee switch in the program to turn on later.

what is deployed, and what is not

The site is live and launching a coin from it creates a real coin on Solana mainnet, which then trades on pump.fun exactly like any other. Those launches are listed below with their curve read from the chain.

The lock program is not deployed. It runs the formula above, it is in testing, and until it ships no buy on a coin launched here is held by anything. The plot is arithmetic, not a claim about today.
