How HOMOpad works
Every new profile launches on a bonding curve priced in $HOMOinu. Sell the curve out and it graduates into a Meteora pool. Fees pay the creator, and the platform's share is burned as $HOMOinu.
Profiles launched earlier keep trading in what they launched in ($GRND). Each profile page says which.

Someone launches a profile
A name, a face, a bio, a ticker. Launching costs 0.07 SOL plus account rent, and mints 1,000,000,000 tokens.
Nobody keeps mint or update authority — not the creator, not HOMOpad. The supply is fixed at launch and the name and picture can never be swapped out from under holders.

It trades on a curve
Buys and sells price against a bonding curve denominated in $HOMOinu. The price rises as people buy and falls as they sell — there is no order book and no counterparty to find. Don't hold the token a profile is priced in? The buy tops you up from SOL or USDC in the same transaction.
The first trade pays 95%. That decays to 1% over 30 seconds — under 10% by thirty. That is deliberate: it makes sniping the first block expensive without punishing anyone who shows up a minute later.

At the target, it graduates
When a market has raised 15M HOMOinu, the curve closes and 20% of the supply is seeded into a Meteora DAMM v2 pool alongside the raise.
The pool keeps charging the same 1% fee, on both sides. The creator does not hold the liquidity. Claiming the fees takes a signature from the wallet that does, and the creator pays the transaction. That same transaction pays the creator their share and burns the platform's.

Fees get split
Trading fees:
- 80% to the profile's creator
- 20% to the platform
On the curve the creator claims their own share and pays their own transaction fee. That claim does not move the platform's share. After graduation the creator pays again: the transaction claims the position, HOMOpad co-signs because it holds the liquidity, and the same transaction burns the platform's share.
The platform's 20% is burned as $HOMOinu, on the curve and after graduation. Fees on a $HOMOinu market already are $HOMOinu, so nothing is swapped: on the curve they are burned in the same transaction that claims them, and after graduation the pool's other side, the profile token, is burned as it is too.
On profiles priced in $GRND, the platform's share of the profile token is burned after graduation, and its share of $GRND — on the curve and after — goes to HOMOpad.
What you should know before trading
$HOMOinuis somebody else's token
New profiles can be priced in $HOMOinu. HOMOpad did not issue it and does not control it. When its price moves, the dollar value of every profile priced in it moves too, including the graduation target.
$GRND is a tokenised stock, not a normal token
Older profiles are priced in $GRND, a tokenised Grindr share issued by Backpack Securities. Its issuer holds powers an ordinary token's issuer does not:
- They can pause all transfers, which halts every $GRND trade here at once.
- They can freeze individual accounts.
- They hold a permanent delegate, meaning they can move $GRND out of any account — including a locked pool.
The 10% of a graduated pool that is locked is locked against the creator and against HOMOpad. It is not locked against$GRND's issuer. HOMOpad cannot override any of this and does not control that token.
These are jokes with money attached
