Marketplace
Hook marketplace
Publish a hook setup as a blueprint, earn a royalty when others launch with it, or remix one.
A blueprint is a hook setup someone has published: a list of hooks, the settings of each one, and the creator fee. Anyone can launch a token with it in a click, or take it as a starting point and change it. The author can ask for a small royalty on every trade of the tokens launched with it. Browse them in the hook marketplace.
Publishing a blueprint
- 1
Build the setup
In the hook marketplace, open the Publish tab and pick hooks, their settings and the fees. Nothing is launched. - 2
Publish as blueprint
Give it a name, an optional description link (https:// or ipfs://) and a royalty from 0% to 0.5%. One transaction, no fee besides gas. - 3
Share the link
It shows up in the marketplace with your address as the author, and its use count goes up with every launch.
The token's name, ticker, logo and quote asset are not part of a blueprint, and neither is the curve anti-snipe (a launch option, not a hook).
Hook settings that are amounts of the quote asset (a minimum buy, a pot size…) are stored as raw units of whatever quote the author used, and a blueprint doesn't record which one that was, so they can't be converted. When you launch with or remix a blueprint, those settings are not filled in: they start at the form's defaults and the blueprint box lists each one so you can set it for your quote asset.
Check where the fees go
Some hooks send part of every trade to an address (a tithe recipient, for example). Every blueprint card and the blueprint box on the launch form list each hook's percentages and every address its settings name; an address that is the blueprint's own author is marked in red. Those addresses are filled in as published, so when a blueprint names any, you have to tick “I reviewed where fees go” before launching. Publishing a blueprint that contains the royalty hook itself is refused: the royalty is set in the registry, not as a hook.
Royalties
Launching with a blueprint that has a royalty adds one more hook, the Blueprint royalty, as the last of the 8 slots (so a blueprint with a royalty holds at most 7 hooks of its own). On every trade, on the bonding curve and in the pool, through any route, it sends that share of the trade's quote amount to the author: from what buyers pay and from what sellers receive, like the creator fee. The author claims it from their profile like any other hook payout.
| What | Rule |
|---|---|
| Royalty range | 0% to 0.5% of every trade, fixed by the author when publishing |
| Who pays | Traders, on top of the creator fee |
| Paid in | The quote asset of the pair (ETH, USDG, a stock…) |
| Can it change? | No. It is frozen into the token at launch, like every hook setting |
| Checks | Blueprint id, author and share must match the registry exactly, and the blueprint must not be hidden, or the launch reverts |
An honour system
Remixing
Remix opens the form with a blueprint's hooks, settings and fees filled in, without its royalty. Change what you like, then launch it or publish it as a new blueprint: the new one records the original as its parent, and the marketplace links back to it.
Token launches and pools
Each blueprint is for one of two lanes, set when it is published. Token launches use the hooks of the main launchpad and open the launch form. Pools use the hooks allowed for pools of existing tokens and open the pool form. A blueprint cannot switch lanes.
Hiding and moderation
An author can hide their own blueprint at any time from their profile. A hidden blueprint leaves the marketplace and cannot be launched with anymore (tokens already launched keep paying its royalty); a link to it fills nothing in, and only a remix still opens it, with a warning. Only the protocol's Safe can unhide a blueprint, and it can also hide spam or impersonation. A blueprint's name and description are written by its author, not by Robin Hook: read the hooks it contains before you launch with it.
