Launching a log

Any project can have a log for its token. The creator chooses the ERC-20 token to wrap, then picks the token used as its pool pair from the assets Chop supports.

Log creation and atomic create-and-seed are live on Robinhood Chain mainnet. See Contracts for the deployed addresses.

What the pool needs#

Wrapping needs only the project's token. The pool needs both the log token and the selected paired token, in equal value.

Setting the starting price#

Self-serve creation at Launch a log lets you choose the wrapped ERC-20 and pick its paired asset from a menu of the assets Chop supports. Rewards always remain in CHOP. New logs use the Volatile fee set (1% wrap/unwrap, 0.5% buy/sell); the live contracts accept only this set, so Stable is not available for new logs. You can optionally set a partner fee at launch, at most 5%; after creation it can only go down, never up. For an atomic funded launch, enter the underlying amount and the opening rate in paired tokens per one underlying token. The app calculates the maximum paired amount, requests exact approvals, creates the log, adds both assets and stakes the initial liquidity. The registry owner verifies the log, its fee oracle matures, then the creator or authorized operator publishes it.

The first liquidity added sets the starting price. A new pool is seeded with a small amount first, checked against market prices, then topped up.

Paired assets and rewards#

The paired token is fixed when the log is created. Farmers use that token when adding liquidity. Farmer rewards are paid in $CHOP, regardless of the selected pair. The launch page lists the paired assets available today: CHOP, WETH and USDG. That list is read from the live deployment, so it grows when a reviewed route is added. A pair outside that list needs a governance-approved V4 route into CHOP before it can be used. A dedicated keeper converts those proceeds with explicit price limits; supported routes must be reviewed against the actual pools and hooks.

Seeded liquidity#

Seeded positions are staked and earn farmer rewards like any other. Any team seed-grant lock terms have not been published.

Disclosure pending: lock length and any team seed-grant terms. Do not assume a lock or grant exists without published evidence.
