launchpad.launch() · DEPLOY-TO-OPEN DEADLINE: 3 DAYS
"In the summer of 2020, strangers handed liquidity to strangers in exchange for tokens nobody knew how to value, and somehow the entire industry's mental model of open finance was rebuilt in twelve weeks."
SUMMER is not a memecoin of nostalgia. It is a literal fork of that summer's design pattern — a bonding-curve launch with a wallet cap, a community pool that follows the badge not the wallet, and farming emission that scales down when the launch fails. Everything happens on-chain. No IPFS, no API, no admin.
If 2020 was the season, this is the preservation.
Five months. Twelve protocols. From $1B TVL to $15B. Every line below is the kind of asymmetric bet you only see in early seasons.
The protocol is deterministic and end-to-end on-chain. Phase 1 sells the curve; Phase 2 graduates liquidity to Uniswap v4 with a 1-year UNCX lock; Phase 3 farms emission for 4 weeks with a per-week halving; Phase 4 keeps Founders Pool open forever.
The contract is the website. The website is the contract. Both are the summer.
