tokenomics

We implement a tokenomics model that balances immediate fundraising with long-term project health. When you launch, you choose what portion of your total token supply goes into the public sale (for example, 22.5 % of a 1 billion supply), and a slice of that allocation is automatically reserved for post-sale liquidity. This means you’re raising real capital from day one, while also proving to your community that you have long-term skin in the game.

Here’s how it breaks down:

Of the tokens allocated for the sale, you keep 87.5 % of the USDC you raise—this is your capital to build, hire, and grow. The remaining 12.5 % of the raised USDC is locked into an automated-market-maker (AMM) pool once your fundraising goal is met, and you pair it with an equivalent dollar value of your own tokens. This guarantees continuous liquidity for your token and keeps the market healthy from launch.

The rest of your token supply stays with the project. These tokens are vested according to a schedule you set and can be used to reward your team, run airdrops, or fund ecosystem growth. This structure gives you the flexibility to incentivize contributors and build a thriving community over time without putting too many tokens on the market at once.

This model is designed for builders who are in it for the long haul. You secure meaningful funding while investor interest is high, but you also retain the majority of your tokens for future growth. Investors gain confidence that you’re committed to the project’s success, and you have the resources and flexibility to keep building, rewarding, and expanding your ecosystem as your project evolves.

raise models

We offer two distinct fundraising models, each designed to fit different types of projects and communities. Here’s how they work, and when you might want to use each:

Bonding Curve

The Bonding Curve model uses a dynamic price curve that adjusts as tokens are bought, directly reflecting supply and demand. The price starts low—at just $0.0001 per token (implying a $100K fully diluted valuation)—and increases with every purchase. You can set a maximum raise cap, and the sale runs for up to 7 days or until the cap is hit.

This model is a great fit for early-stage projects looking to build momentum and attract attention. The low starting price and rising curve create a sense of urgency and reward early supporters, while also giving your project instant visibility on DEXs like Jupiter and trading bots like Bonk and Trojan. As soon as your raise ends, your token becomes instantly tradeable everywhere on Solana—across all major DEXs and aggregators. If you’re launching something new and want to get your token into as many hands as possible, while letting the market set the pace, the Bonding Curve is a strong choice.

Pro Rata

The Pro Rata model is all about fairness and community. Here, anyone can contribute funds over a 7-day window, and tokens are distributed proportionally based on how much each person invests. Everyone gets their share at the same price, based on the total USDC raised.

This model is ideal for projects with an existing community or strong grassroots support from friends, family or followers. It ensures a level playing field and broad distribution, making it easier to build a loyal, engaged holder base from day one. Note: contributions to Pro Rata sales can only be made directly through the star.fun platform, so the process is simple and secure for everyone involved.
