Dogstarter is the first meme launchpad on DogeOS. Anyone can launch a token in one transaction, trade it on a fair bonding curve, and watch it graduate to DogSwap with liquidity locked forever.
How it works
- Launch. Pick a name, ticker and logo and pay the create fee (1 DOGE on testnet). Your token gets 1,000,000,000 supply, minted to the launch factory. Its address is predictable (CREATE2), so you see it before you launch.
- Bonding curve. 80% of the supply (800M) is sold on a constant-product curve (
x · y = kon virtual reserves). Every buy pushes the price up and every sell pushes it down. There is no presale and no team allocation unless the creator does an optional dev buy (max 20%). - Graduation. When the curve has collected the threshold (420 DOGE), the token graduates automatically in the same transaction (details below).
- After graduation it is a plain ERC20: no owner, no mint, no tax, no blacklist.
Fees
| Fee | Amount | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Create fee | 1 DOGE | 20% buyback & burn $DOG, 80% treasury |
| Trading fee (curve) | 1% | 70% creator (claimable in DOGE; the creator picks the payout wallet and can spend up to half of it buying back + burning their own token) · 15% platform → buy $DOG & burn · 10% treasury · 5% charity |
| Referral | 15% of the platform share | Paid to the trader's referrer, claimable in DOGE |
| Anti-sniper tax | 99% for the first 3 seconds | Above the normal 1%: half burn, half treasury. Creators get nothing from it. |
| DogSwap LP fee | 0.3% | Liquidity providers (locked LP for graduated tokens) |
| DogSwap community pools (open DEX) | 0.3% | 0.2% to the pool's liquidity providers, 0.1% to the Dogstarter treasury (owner-adjustable, at most half of the 0.3%) |
| Token profile change (logo / links, max 2) | 2,004 / 42,069 DOGE | 50% $DOG buyback & burn (TWAP) · 40% operations · 10% charity |
| Extra party time | 10 DOGE / minute | Project wallet, for the $DOG buyback & burn (TWAP) |
All fees, thresholds and limits are owner-configurable on-chain within hard caps (trading fee max 5%, snipe tax window max 60s). A token's graduation threshold and curve are frozen when it launches.
Graduation
Once the curve has collected the threshold, the factory takes the collected DOGE (as WDOGE) and the remaining 200M tokens, calls DogSwapRouter.addLiquidity, and mints the LP straight to DogLocker. The locker has no withdraw function, so the liquidity is locked forever. The curve is tuned so the DogSwap price at graduation equals the last curve price: no jump, no arbitrage gap. Until graduation nobody can send tokens to the future pool, so it cannot be pre-seeded at a fake price.
Anti-snipe
- Same-block buy block: nobody can buy in the launch block except the creator's dev buy, and during the first 2 blocks each wallet can buy once per block.
- Max wallet 1% for the first 2 blocks, plus a cumulative buy cap so sell-and-rebuy cannot get around it.
- 99% bonding tax for the first 3 seconds stops sniper bots. The app checks the contract before every buy and holds your buy (with a message) during that window, so you never pay it by accident.
Referral
Share dogstarter.dog/?ref=YOUR_ADDRESS. The first time a friend trades through it, the contract links them to you for good. You earn 15% of the platform fee on every trade they make, tracked on-chain and shown on the Rewards page.
King of the Hill
The non-graduated token with the highest DOGE volume over the last hour wears the fire crown. It is pinned to the top of the board, and trades on it earn 2x airdrop points for the first hour after it is crowned.
$DOG tokenomics
$DOG is the Dogstarter platform token: ERC20, 1,000,000,000 fixed supply minted once, burnable, no future mint.
| Allocation | % | Tokens | Terms |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ecosystem / KOTH rewards / Airdrop | 25% | 250M | Creators, traders, long-term holders. 24-month linear vesting. |
| Liquidity & Market Making | 20% | 200M | swap.dogstarter.dog + future CEX. 50% of the LP locked forever. |
| Team & Advisors | 15% | 150M | 12-month cliff, then 24-month linear vesting. |
| Treasury / DAO | 15% | 150M | Grants and marketing. |
| Public Sale | 10% | 100M | Public sale details announced before TGE. |
| Buyback & Burn Fund | 10% | 100M | Backs the burn program. Launchpad fees auto-buy $DOG and burn it. |
| Testnet Faucet & Incentives | 5% | 50M | Faucet and testnet campaigns. |
Buyback & burn: platform fees accumulate in the factory and a keeper regularly swaps them for $DOG on DogSwap and burns them. Every burn is on-chain (BuybackBurn event) and shown on the burn tracker.
DogSwap DEX
DogSwap is Dogstarter's open exchange (swap.dogstarter.dog on a computer, /dex inside the app on a phone). Anyone can swap any token on DogeOS, make a pool for any pair and earn a share of every swap. It is separate from the bonding curve: tokens trade on the curve until they graduate, then on DogSwap. You keep your own coins the whole time.
Three kinds of pools
| Pool | Who makes it | Swap fee |
|---|---|---|
| Official | The launchpad, when a v2 token graduates. Liquidity locked. | 1% platform fee (70% creator, 15% $DOG buyback, 10% treasury, 5% charity) + 0.3% to liquidity providers |
| Community | Anyone, for any pair | 0.3%: 0.2% to liquidity providers, 0.1% to the Dogstarter treasury (the treasury share can be set between 0 and half of the 0.3%) |
| Classic | The first DogSwap factory (v1 graduations, the $DOG pool) | 0.3% to liquidity providers |
Smart routing
DogSwap looks at every pool and finds the route that gives you the most, directly or through up to 3 pools (for example WOW to DOGE to BARK). Routes that mix pool kinds run in one transaction through the DogSwap aggregator, which also handles tokens that take a fee on transfer.
Trade safety
- Auto slippage starts at 0.5% and widens only for big moves. A deadline cancels a trade that waits too long.
- Price impact above 3% asks you to confirm; above 15% is blocked unless you turn on expert mode.
- A wide slippage invites sandwich bots, so DogSwap warns you and suggests splitting big trades.
- Tokens that are not Dogstarter launches are marked Unverified, and importing one shows a warning first.
Orders: limit, take profit, stop loss, DCA
Your coins wait in the orders contract until the price you set is reached, then a keeper fills the order and earns the small tip you chose (at most 1%). You always get at least the minimum you set, and you can cancel any time to take back what is left. DCA buys (or sells) in equal parts on a schedule. Nobody else, not even Dogstarter, can move the coins.
Lock or burn liquidity
Lock your pool tokens until a date (1 month to forever) so traders can see the pool cannot be pulled. Only you can withdraw them, after the date. Burning sends them to 0x…dEaD: that liquidity can never be taken out.
Copy trading, the safe way
Follow wallets and see their DogSwap trades. "Do the same" only opens the swap filled in: you check it and sign it yourself. Nothing ever trades for you, and past trades are no promise.
Trending, leaderboard and pool chat
- Trending ranks pools over 5 minutes, 1 hour or 24 hours by volume, how many different wallets trade and how much the price moves, so one whale alone cannot push a pool to the top.
- The weekly leaderboard (Monday to Sunday, UTC) lists top traders by swap volume and top liquidity providers by the liquidity they hold. Points may count toward the $DOG airdrop after launch; there is no fixed value or ratio.
- Every pool page has a chat and quick reactions. Messages are signed with your wallet (no gas) and moderated like token comments.
- Order alerts: turn on notifications and the wallet that placed an order gets a push when it fills, also each part of a DCA.
Price widget for your website
On any pool page, tap Embed to copy a small widget with the live price and a Swap button. Paste it into your site like this:

| Contract | What it does | Address |
|---|---|---|
DogSwapFactory | Classic pools | 0xf1dC…92f0 |
DogSwapRouter | Classic router | 0x0CFf…1aA3 |
DogSwapFactoryV2 | Official pools of graduated v2 tokens | 0xCfa7…CB69 |

No DogSwap contract has an admin who can move your coins. New contracts go to mainnet only after a professional audit.
Risks
- Anyone can list any token, including fake copies. Check the address; prefer Dogstarter launches.
- Liquidity providers can lose value when prices move (impermanent loss). APR is an estimate from recent fees, not a promise.
- Smart contracts can have bugs. Only trade what you can afford to lose.
Network & contracts
Memecoins are extremely risky. Anyone can launch anything on Dogstarter. Always do your own research.
