Dynamic Bonding Curve
PrintFun's token ecosystem is built on the foundation of Dynamic Bonding Curves (DBC) - an innovative liquidity mechanism that provides a sustainable path for token growth and holder rewards.
This technology powers every token launched on PrintFun, creating a unique experience that benefits both creators and holders.
What is a Dynamic Bonding Curve?
The Basics
A Dynamic Bonding Curve is a mathematical function that determines a token's price based on its supply and demand. Unlike traditional markets where buyers and sellers set prices, a bonding curve automatically adjusts prices according to predefined rules.
In PrintFun's implementation, the price increases as more SOL is added to the pool, creating a smooth curve that rewards early participants while maintaining liquidity for all holders.
Key Features
- • Automated Market Making: No need for traditional order books
- • Continuous Liquidity: Tokens can always be bought or sold
- • Predictable Pricing: Price changes follow a mathematical curve
- • Built-in Fee Mechanism: Generates rewards for holders
- • Migration Path: Evolves to DAMM when mature
How PrintFun Enhances the DBC Experience
PrintFun has built upon the core DBC technology to create a superior token ecosystem with unique advantages:
Automatic Rewards
75% of all trading fees are automatically distributed to token holders every 10 minutes, creating passive income without staking or locking tokens.
Growth Path
Tokens start on the DBC and graduate to Meteora's Dynamic AMM when they reach their Target SOL, providing a clear growth trajectory.
Customizable Parameters
Token creators can customize their curve parameters, fee structure, and migration settings to suit their project's needs.
The PrintFun Token Lifecycle
Launch Phase
Token is created on PrintFun's platform with a Dynamic Bonding Curve. Initial parameters are set, including Target SOL amount, fee structure, and token metadata.
Growth Phase
As traders buy and sell the token, the price adjusts according to the bonding curve. Trading fees are collected and distributed to holders automatically every 10 minutes.
Migration Phase
Once the pool reaches its Target SOL threshold, the token migrates from the DBC to Meteora's Dynamic AMM (DAMM). This migration is handled automatically by Meteora's keeper service.
Maturity Phase
The token now trades on Meteora's DAMM with the configured fee tier. Holders continue to receive trading fee rewards based on the migration option selected (DAMMv1 or DAMMv2).
Migration Options and Fee Distribution
When creating a token on PrintFun, creators can choose between two migration options that affect how holders receive rewards after migration:
DAMMv1
With DAMMv1 migration, holders receive their trading fee rewards split between:
- • Part in SOL (quote token)
- • Part in the native token
This option is ideal for projects that want to maintain some token velocity and provide holders with both SOL and token rewards.
DAMMv2
With DAMMv2 migration, holders receive 100% of their trading fee rewards in:
- • SOL only (quote token)
This option is preferred for projects focused on maximizing SOL rewards for holders and simplifying the reward structure.
