Larpad Whitepaper
Version 1.0 | January 2025
TL;DR
Larpad is a token launchpad on Solana built on one truth: every token is a larp until proven otherwise.
Developers promise roadmaps they'll never deliver. Communities hype tokens with no foundation. Influencers shill projects they'll dump tomorrow. Everyone's larping - pretending their token is different when it's not.
We built a platform where the larp can become real:
- Proof of Larp (POL): 0.85% of every trade is locked into the token's liquidity, building a real foundation
- Prediction Markets: Real utility from day one - bet on milestones and win SOL
- Customizable Everything: Custom contract addresses, creator fees, your token your way
- Graduation with Foundation: When your token bonds, it has real liquidity backing it
The Problem: Tokens Don't Survive
Let's talk about the elephant in the room.
Memecoins don't survive. Utility tokens don't survive. 95%+ of tokens launched go to zero. Why?
It's not because the ideas are bad. It's not because the communities aren't there. It's because tokens are born without a foundation.
The Missing Foundation
When a token launches, it starts with minimal liquidity. One whale sells and the chart dumps 50%. There's no floor. There's no cushion. There's nothing backing it up.
Trading fees flow out of the ecosystem. They don't build anything for the token. They don't create utility for holders. They don't strengthen the project.
The result? Tokens are fighting uphill from day one. No floor means no stability. No stability means no confidence. No confidence means everyone's looking for the exit.
The Engagement Problem
Beyond liquidity, there's another issue: memecoins lack utility.
Buy. Hold. Hope number goes up. That's the entire experience for most tokens.
There's no engagement. There's no reason to stay involved. There's nothing to do except watch the chart and pray.
This is why communities dissolve. This is why tokens fade. People need a reason to participate beyond speculation.
What We're Building
What if trading fees built your token's liquidity instead of leaving the ecosystem?
What if there was real utility - real engagement - from day one?
What if the larp worked for you?
The Solution: Proof of Larp (POL)
We built Larpad on a simple principle: give tokens the tools to stop larping and start building.
Protocol Owned Liquidity (Proof of Larp)
Every trade on Larpad has a 0.85% POL fee. Here's the difference:
That 0.85% stays in the token's liquidity. Forever.
We call it Proof of Larp (POL) - Protocol Owned Liquidity that turns empty promises into real foundations.
Every buy. Every sell. 0.85% goes into building the token's floor. The more a token trades, the stronger its foundation becomes. The larp becomes real.
What This Means for Your Token
When your token graduates (hits 85 SOL in the bonding curve), it doesn't graduate empty-handed:
- All accumulated POL from every trade during bonding
- 200M reserved tokens (20% of supply) for LP
- Real liquidity that whales can't drain in one sell
Your token isn't born weak. It's born with a foundation.
How Larpad Works
The Bonding Curve
Every token launches with the same fair curve:
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Total Supply | 1 billion tokens |
| Bonding Curve Allocation | 800M tokens (80%) |
| LP Reserve | 200M tokens (20%) |
| Initial Virtual SOL | 30 SOL |
| Graduation Threshold | 85 SOL |
No presales. No team allocations. No insider advantages. Everyone starts equal.
The Two-Stage System
Stage 1: Bonding (0-85 SOL)
- Trade on the bonding curve
- 0.85% POL fee builds your token's floor
- Price increases as more people buy
- Sell anytime - but the POL stays locked
Stage 2: Graduated (85+ SOL)
- Token graduates with real liquidity
- 200M reserved tokens + accumulated POL = deep LP
- 0.20% LP Fee continues building liquidity forever
- Full DEX trading unlocked
Fee Structure
During Bonding:
| Fee | Amount | Where It Goes |
|---|---|---|
| POL Fee | 0.85% | Locked in token's liquidity |
| Platform Fee | 0.15% | Platform operations |
| Creator Fee | 0-1% | Token creator (your choice) |
After Graduation:
| Fee | Amount | Where It Goes |
|---|---|---|
| LP Fee | 0.20% | Locked in LP forever |
| Platform Fee | 0.05% | Platform operations |
| Creator Fee | 0-1% | Token creator (your choice) |
Total fees: 1-2%. The majority goes directly into building your token's liquidity.
Prediction Markets: Real Utility from Day One
Here's where Larpad changes the game.
Memecoins are boring. Buy, hold, hope. That's it. Where's the engagement? Where's the reason to stay involved?
We built prediction markets directly into every token launch.
More Than Just Trading
Every token on Larpad automatically gets prediction markets. You're not just buying a token - you're participating in an ecosystem where you can:
- Bet on milestones - Will this token hit $50K market cap? Put your SOL where your mouth is
- Win even if you don't hold - You don't need to buy the token to participate in predictions
- Stay engaged - There's always something happening, always a bet to make, always a reason to watch
This is the utility that memecoins have been missing.
How It Works
- Token launches → 3 prediction markets are created automatically
- Milestones: $25K, $50K, $100K market cap
- Bet YES or NO with SOL
- If milestone is hit within the time window → YES wins
- If deadline passes without hitting → NO wins
- Winners split the pot proportionally
Example
You spot a promising token. You think it'll hit $50K market cap within 24 hours.
- You bet 1 SOL on YES
- Others bet 2 SOL on YES, 3 SOL on NO
- Total pot: 6 SOL
Scenario A: Token hits $50K
- YES wins! You get 6 SOL × (1/3) = 2 SOL
- You doubled your money
Scenario B: Token doesn't hit $50K
- NO wins. You lose your 1 SOL
Tier System
| Tier | Milestones | Typical Duration |
|---|---|---|
| Tier 0 | $25K, $50K, $100K | 24-48 hours |
| Tier 1 | $250K, $500K, $1M | 3-7 days |
| Tier 2 | $2.5M, $5M, $10M | 1-4 weeks |
Higher tiers unlock as tokens hit previous milestones. The better a token performs, the bigger the predictions get.
Make It Yours: Customization
Larpad isn't just another cookie-cutter launchpad. We give you the tools to make your token truly yours.
Custom Contract Addresses
Want your token address to start with "DOGE" or end with "MOON"? We've got you.
Our GPU-powered grinding system lets you create vanity contract addresses that match your brand. Stand out from the crowd with an address that actually means something.
Creator Fees (Fully Transparent)
Set your own creator fee from 0% to 1%. Every trade on your token sends that percentage directly to your wallet.
- Building a project? Set 1% to fund development
- Pure memecoin? Set 0% and let it ride
- Your token, your rules
Here's the difference: it's all on-chain and visible.
Every token page shows the creator fee percentage. Every trade shows exactly how much goes to the creator. No hidden fees. No surprises. Traders know exactly what they're paying, and creators can prove they're not taking more than they said.
Fair Launch, Your Way
- No presales - but you can be first to buy your own token
- No team allocations - everyone starts at the same price
- Immutable settings - once launched, creator fees can't be changed
You're in control. We just provide the infrastructure.

FAQ
Q: What makes Larpad different? A: Two things: Proof of Larp (POL) locks 0.85% of every trade into the token's liquidity instead of extracting it, and prediction markets give every token real utility from day one.
Q: What is Proof of Larp (POL)? A: POL is our Protocol Owned Liquidity system. 0.85% of every trade during bonding stays locked in the token's curve forever. This builds a floor and ensures graduated tokens have real liquidity backing them.
Q: Can creators still sell their tokens? A: Yes. But the POL accumulated from every trade stays in the curve. This means there's always SOL in the liquidity that can't be extracted, providing a floor for the token.
Q: How do predictions work? A: Every token launches with prediction markets for market cap milestones ($25K, $50K, $100K). Bet YES or NO with SOL. If the milestone is hit, YES wins. If the deadline passes, NO wins. Winners split the pot.
Q: How do predictions resolve? A: Automatically. When a token hits the milestone, YES wins. When the deadline passes, NO wins. No manual intervention needed.
Q: What happens at graduation? A: When a token hits 85 SOL in real reserves, it graduates. The 200M reserved tokens + all accumulated POL become the LP foundation. Trading continues on a DEX with real liquidity.
Q: Can I create a custom contract address? A: Yes! Our GPU grinding system lets you create vanity addresses that start or end with specific characters. Make your token's address match your brand.
Q: What fees should I expect? A: During bonding: 0.85% POL (locked in liquidity) + 0.15% platform + 0-1% creator. After graduation: 0.20% LP + 0.05% platform + 0-1% creator. All fees are transparent and shown before every trade.
Q: How do I know the creator isn't taking hidden fees? A: Everything is on-chain and visible. Every token page displays the creator fee percentage. Every trade shows the exact breakdown of where your fees go. Creator fees are set at launch and can't be changed - what you see is what you get.
Conclusion
Every token starts as a larp. Promises without proof. Hype without foundation.
The question is: does it stay that way?
Larpad's Proof of Larp (POL) turns promises into foundations. Every trade builds real liquidity. Every transaction strengthens the floor. The more your community trades, the more real your token becomes.
Prediction markets give your community something to do. Not just "buy and hope" - actual engagement, actual bets, actual reasons to stay involved.
Customization makes your token yours. Your vanity address. Your creator fee. Your rules.
We can't stop developers from larping. We can't stop communities from hyping. But we can give them tools to build something real.
Stop larping. Start building.
