PROOF Launches Have Evolved: Cheaper Entry, Lower Taxes + Stronger FoundationsWe've spent the last few months rebuilding how PROOF launches work from the ground up. The result: every PROOF launch is still built on the safety standards and vetted, incubated process you already trust us for. Now it also gives public buyers a cheaper entry, lower fees on every trade, and a chart that's protected from day one. Here's what's changing.
1. Cheaper entry, from Uniswap V2 to V4.Our EVM contracts are moving from Uniswap V2 to V4. V4 lets us engineer liquidity in ways V2 never could, which means we can start launches at a lower market cap for public buyers. That's a cheaper entry point on every launch, and more room for the token to run before it's priced like an established project. It also strips the tax logic out of the contract entirely, so what you're buying is a cleaner token that reads as safer to the wider market and pulls in more outside volume.
2. Lower taxes on every trade.Launch taxes are dropping from 20/25% to 10/15%, so buying into a launch costs less from the first block. Resting tax is being halved too, from 5/5% to 2.5/2.5%, and it's now collected as an LP fee rather than a token tax, the same way the top launchpads do it. Less friction on every trade means it's easier to build real volume, and even better conditions for public buyers looking to trade it.
3. PROOF Pass buyers now vest, strengthening every chart.Our PROOF Pass holders are part of our secret sauce: a group of high net worth, well connected buyers who get in first and are now incentivised more than ever to help every launch reach higher market caps. Their buys now vest at 25% at TGE, 75% linear over 60 days, with responsible selling enforced directly in code. That means minimal sell pressure from the earliest buyers, a stronger, more stable chart, and a healthier foundation for every launch to build from.
4. LP is now burnt on every EVM launch.Liquidity is now permanently burnt on every EVM launch, on top of the safety standards already built into PROOF's model. It's one more layer of comfort for buyers who aren't yet familiar with everything we've engineered into a PROOF launch, giving them a clear, unambiguous signal that liquidity isn't going anywhere.
5. Less supply held back, more in public hands.Kept-out allocation on EVM is dropping from 35% to 30%. More of every token goes straight to public buyers at launch, which helps us start every launch at an even lower market cap, another way we're making entry cheaper across the board.
6. Fully multi-chain, including Robinhood.PROOF launches are no longer limited to Ethereum, Base and Solana. With Robinhood now fully supported, we're architected to launch anywhere onchain volume flows: ETH, Base, Robinhood, Solana, and other chains as they make sense. One vetted incubation process, wherever the market is, so you get the same safety and quality bar no matter which chain you're buying on.
In short, PROOF launches now come with a cheaper entry, lower fees on every trade, and a chart protected by PROOF Pass vesting and burnt liquidity, all backed by the safety standards and incubation process PROOF is built on. It's the best-architected setup we've ever had for getting our launches to high market caps.
