How Trading Works on JoltPad

A straightforward guide to buying, selling, managing slippage, and understanding token pricing before graduation.

1. Buying Tokens

To buy tokens on a pre-graduation bonding curve:

Connect your web3 wallet (MetaMask, WalletConnect, or browser wallet) on Robinhood Chain.
Navigate to any active token market page from the Explore section.
Enter the amount of ETH you want to spend in the Buy box, or click quick preset buttons (0.01, 0.05, 0.1 ETH).
Review the live quote showing the estimated token output and fee breakdown.
Click Buy and confirm the transaction in your wallet.

Selling tokens requires a two-step process for safety:

Approval: If you haven't sold this token before, click Approve first to allow the Bonding Curve contract to swap your tokens.
Execute Sell: Once approved, enter the token amount or select percentage presets (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%), then click Sell.
Confirm the transaction in your wallet to receive ETH back.

Every trade on the bonding curve incurs a transparent 1.25% fee:

Platform Fee: 0.95% (95 bps) — powers infrastructure, RPCs, and referral payouts.
Creator Fee: 0.30% (30 bps) — rewarded to the token creator on every trade.
Total Fee: 1.25% added transparently during buys and deducted during sells.

Bonding curve prices change algorithmically with every trade. To protect you from front-running or sudden price shifts:

Every trade includes a built-in minimum output guard (default 1-2%).
If the actual tokens received or ETH returned falls below your minimum limit, the transaction reverts to keep your funds safe.
