How WickDeck Works

A WickDeck-native market is a token plus a bonding curve created by the launch factory on Arc. While the curve is open, traders buy and sell against it. The market then either reaches its raise target and Ignites into a locked DEX pool, or the window ends and the market expires.

New assets need a defined path from create to a public pool, with the same launch rules for every native market. The terminal is the catalog and ticket for that path — not a separate marketing site.

• Create — a wallet submits a launch. The factory clones a token and a curve. The creator bond locks in USDC.
• Bonding — traders buy and sell against the curve in the selected raise asset (default USDC). Fair Start wallet limits apply.
• Ignition — the curve hits its tier target. The protocol creates the official pool and locks LP. Fair Start ends.
• Expiry — the window ends before Ignition. New buys stop. Holders can sell back through the curve. The creator bond is forfeited after grace.

Completing this path does not make a token valuable. Creators and traders can still coordinate across wallets. Liquidity after Ignition can be thin. A market can expire and leave holders in sell-only.
