Creator bonds and tiers
A bond is part of the creator's supply that LaunchLab locks on-chain when the token is created. It can't be sold before the token graduates and the cliff has passed. After that, it unlocks in a straight line.
The three tiers
Every launch on ZeeBonds uses one of three tiers. Every token has a supply of 1 billion; the rest of the supply is split between the bonding curve and the Raydium pool the token graduates into.
| Tier | Bond (locked) | Sold on the curve | Seeds the locked pool | Cliff after graduation | Unlock |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bronze | 5% | 75% | 20% | at least 7 days | over at least 30 days |
| Silver | 10% | 70% | 20% | at least 14 days | over at least 90 days |
| Gold | 15% | 65% | 20% | at least 30 days | over at least 180 days |
A bigger, longer bond tells buyers the creator is here to stay.
How it's enforced
Each tier is a curve rule on the ZeeBonds platform config in Raydium LaunchLab. A launch has to match one of the rules, and none of them allows a 0% bond. So a launch that uses the ZeeBonds platform can't skip the bond, even if it bypasses this website.
Who the bond unlocks to
When you launch, you choose the wallet, or wallets, the bond unlocks to. The launch only finishes once the whole bond is assigned, because LaunchLab keeps unassigned locked tokens locked forever.
An example
With a Silver bond, 100 million tokens (10%) are locked. After graduation there's a 14-day cliff, then the tokens unlock evenly over 90 days. A creator who walks away early leaves their bond locked.
