here is my hypotheses on new
@bankrbot x
@SushiSwap launchpad
is their solution as an answer to
@TradePools
currently, bankr use
@dopplerprotocol and
@Uniswap v4 as its infra under the hood. when ethereum:0x1f9840a85d5af5bf1d1762f925bdaddc4201f984 decided to make their own launchpad - they literally vampired users and liquidity from 67 launchpads who used uniswap's rails. which
@0xDeployer didnt like
He found a kindred spirit in
@alexmccurryo who is uniswap's competitor and told that frogs are lame
so you are here at pools[.]fun teaser. my working theory:
poolsfun moves bankr's existing robinhood launch flow from doppler/uniswap v4 to sushi launch and sushi v3. bankr keeps the distribution layer:
> launch a token through a message on x
> launch through the bankr agent, api or cli
> managed wallets and transaction execution
> metadata and social links
> creator fee claims and recipient routing
> treasury automation
> glidepath for gradual creator selling
sushi becomes the execution and liquidity layer:
> immediate sushi v3 market
> permanently locked lp position
> launches against weth, usdg and tokenized stocks like tsla, nvda, gme and aapl
> a simpler fixed launch recipe targeting roughly $5k initial fdv
pros and cons?
> the current bankr/doppler stack charges 1.75% all-in per trade
> the current sushi launch pool charges 1%
that is roughly 43% less fee friction for traders. it also gives bankr a dex partner that is less likely to take over the frontend, user relationship and launch distribution itself
but a straight backend swap has serious downsides - under bankr's current doppler economics, 0.95% of volume works for the creator side:
> 0.665% claimable creator fees
> 0.285% compounded into locked liquidity
under the existing sushi launch economics:
> the creator gets 0.70%
> sushi gets 0.30%
> and sushi also reserves 3% of every token supply for one year
on $1m volume:
> current bankr creator side: $9,500
> current sushi creator fees: $7,000
the existing bankr stack also has a 0.475% bankr protocol fee and a 0.2375% bnkr buyback. neither exists in the current sushi factory
sushi v3 is also less programmable than the v4 hook stack. bankr's quote-only fees, custom fee routing and bnkr buyback do not automatically survive the move. and sushi launch is not a fair-launch upgrade
the creator can still launch and buy the virgin pool atomically before anyone else. there is no auction, anti-sniper window or crowd price discovery
so just replacing uniswap v4 with sushi v3 would be cheaper for traders, but worse for creators and economically pointless for bankr
for pools[.]fun to make sense, something else probably has to ship:
> a bankr-specific fee split or router
> an offchain revenue agreement with sushi
> bnkr buybacks funded from the sushi side
> bankr treasury automation around creator fees
> or a much stronger consumer product that makes up for lower fee capture with far more launches and volume
so base:0x22af33fe49fd1fa80c7149773dde5890d3c76f3b trying to own the launchpad distribution while base:0x7d49a065d17d6d4a55dc13649901fdbb98b2afba supplies the markets. we still need the actual reveal to know the fee split and whether bankr built a new router
but that is the version that makes the teaser make sense
