Frontier
Frontier is modular launch infrastructure. It lets anyone create programmable markets on Robinhood Chain, with the entire launch stack becoming configurable, composable, and eventually extensible by other developers.
Uniswap introduced hooks as a way to make liquidity pools programmable. Frontier takes that idea further by applying modularity across the whole lifecycle of a launch rather than to the pool alone.
What a creator configures
A launch is not one product with one set of rules. A creator decides:
- how the bonding curve works — where it starts, how much it raises, or whether there is one at all;
- how trading fees behave — a flat rate, a curve that reacts to volatility, or something written for the occasion;
- how value is distributed — what liquidity providers are paid, and what happens to the creator's own share;
- how the opening of a market is protected — against the bots that buy in the first block;
- what happens around every trade — anything a contract can do once a swap has settled.
These pieces exist as modules — the app lists them as extensions — and they are building blocks in the literal sense: combined, they produce entirely different launch structures, without anyone having to build the underlying infrastructure from scratch.
The launch mechanism is itself programmable
A coin can launch through a bonding curve that graduates automatically into a Uniswap V4 pool, or directly into a live V4 pool with no bonding curve at all.
That choice does not exist on any other platform on Robinhood Chain. It is the clearest illustration of what modularity means here: even the way an asset reaches its market is a parameter rather than a property of the platform.
Stacking is the point
A market can run dynamic fees that react to volatility, a sniper tax during its opening, a lottery funded by trading activity, staking that shares market revenue with holders, or custom routing that decides where the fees ultimately flow.
The point is not any individual module. It is that they stack: four fee modules in an order the creator chooses, four observers notified after every settled trade, one recipient that can be any contract at all. From a small number of parts, markets with completely different rules and incentives.
And because an observer can call any contract, a recipient can be any contract, and a fee rule can read state from outside the pool, a coin is not only something people buy. It can be a component an application is built on — a game whose prize pool is funded by its own coin's trading, a protocol that charges its own users less to trade it, a treasury credited on every swap with nobody triggering anything.
What Frontier itself can become
Frontier is not meant to be one launchpad with one opinionated way of launching assets.
The same infrastructure is the foundation for developers to write new modules, design new launch models, and eventually build entirely new platforms on top of it. The module interfaces are public at the contract level, and the catalog is built to grow rather than to be complete. See Modular launch infrastructure.
The protocol keeps the smallest share
Frontier has no token, and nothing about its economics depends on one arriving. The alignment is arithmetic.
Where a coin spends its life — in its pool — 75% goes to the creator and their community, on both streams: what the coin's permanently locked liquidity collects, and a share of every swap taken before liquidity providers are paid, which no amount of outside liquidity can dilute. Before that, on the curve, each trade's 1.5% fee splits evenly between the creator and the protocol.
What the protocol keeps does not stay there either: a large part of it goes back to the people who generated it, through the points leaderboard. A creator can go further and route their own share to their community, through a staking vault or a recipient of their choosing. See Revenue.
What holds by construction
- Liquidity is locked forever. The contract holding it has no withdrawal function, so neither the creator nor Frontier can pull it.
- A coin's rules are frozen at creation. Modules, fee model, split, vault share: written once, editable by nobody afterwards. What a coin's page says today is what it will say in a year.
- The protocol's cut cannot be redirected, and no module can block a trade, hold anyone's funds, or push a fee above 10% outside a declared sniper-tax window.
- Nothing needs to be trusted. Every rate is a value in a deployed contract and every payout is a transaction. On-chain verification shows how to read each one.
