Ignition

Ignition is the product word for graduation. It is the moment the bonding curve reaches its quote target, the protocol creates the official DEX pool, and remaining reserved supply is locked as LP.

Protocol contracts and some docs still say graduation. The terminal says Ignition.

A filled curve needs a public pool so trading can continue after the bonding inventory is gone. Locking LP is how Wick Standard prevents the creator from pulling that liquidity.

• The curve must reach its tier quote cap (and the configured sold-depth rule).
• 30% of supply seeds the locked AMM side.
• Fair Start ends. There is no post-Ignition wallet cap.
• The creator bond becomes refundable after Ignition (not instantly a quality signal).
• Near-Ignition markets are listed on Near Ignition.

Ignition can fail if the window ends first. During the igniting state, buys and sells can be closed. After Ignition, price is an AMM price — it can gap, and locked LP is not the same as deep liquidity.

Treat Ignition as a venue change from curve to DEX. Check the pool, remaining window, and Scan. Do not treat the event as a recommendation.
