# FAQ and glossary

## What do the names mean?

| Term | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Reactor | The directory of tokens launched through Rearctor |
| Reaction | A launched token with its own market and fixed fee settings |
| Initial fuel / seed | USDC committed to a new token’s pool; separate from a token purchase |
| Charging | Trading on the launch curve before migration |
| Critical mass | Progress toward 5,042 USDC in net pool reserves |
| Ignition / graduation | The threshold-reaching transaction moves liquidity into the locked V4 position |
| Telemetry | Market, fee and burn analytics |
| Buyback fuel | Reserved USDC budget; not an executed burn |
| Burn core | A visual showing one project’s buyback burns relative to its initial supply |
| Control Room | Status and budget execution controls; permission depends on the operation |
| Hook | The V4 component applying the original buy/sell fees to the registered pool |
| FDV | Displayed price multiplied by ERC-20 total supply, including dead-address balances; not circulating supply or available liquidity |

## Is Rearctor’s own token live?

Check the [official Rearctor page](/token/rearc/). A **Coming soon** state has no verified live trading address. The platform token is planned as the first launch; preview reactions are samples. Official identity is checked against the configured contracts and first launch, not inferred from a token’s name.

## What are the current launch limits?

| Setting | Current behavior |
| --- | --- |
| Initial token supply | 1 billion; no additional mint function after initialization |
| Paired asset | USDC |
| Initial liquidity | At least the current owner-set minimum (1 USDC initially), below 5,042 USDC |
| Buy and sell fees | Independently fixed at launch, 1%–10% each |
| Fee allocation | 30% protocol; remaining 70% split between creator, buyback and liquidity |
| Dev buy | Optional; at most 200 million tokens; cannot finish the launch curve |
| Public buys | Open in the block after launch |
| Graduation target | 5,042 USDC in net reserves, not cumulative volume or market cap |
| Migration reserve | At least 20% of initial token supply |
| Slippage form | 0.1%–10%, initially 1% |

See [launch a token](/docs/launch-a-token/) for field and wallet requirements.

## Can an administrator graduate a token early?

Yes, with the updated pool implementation. The current factory owner can use Control Room to migrate eligible reserves before 5,042 USDC. The position must still contain at least 200 million tokens and at least 99% of the accounted USDC, at the current curve price. The accounted unpaired token remainder goes to the fixed dead address `0x000000000000000000000000000000000000dEaD`, within the maximum accepted by the owner. USDC remainders stay locked; direct donations and fee budgets are excluded. Low reserves can be ineligible. Automatic graduation remains active and keeps its small remainders locked. Any migration failure reverts the whole operation. Existing immutable deployments need a new deployment to gain this method.

## Does a graduation transfer to dead reduce total supply?

No. It is an ordinary ERC-20 transfer to a fixed address, so `totalSupply` stays unchanged. The token page records the amount and links its transaction separately from buyback burns. Actual burns through the token burn function reduce total supply; the dead transfer does not count as a project buyback or protocol-funded burn. Holder rankings exclude the dead address, while percentages and FDV still use full ERC-20 total supply.

## Can I still buy and sell after graduation?

Yes. The same token page keeps both controls. Live transactions use that token’s canonical Rearctor V4 pool with its original hook. [Trading](/docs/trading/) explains fee assets, refreshed quotes and gas around graduation.

## Can fees, the creator wallet or locked liquidity be changed?

The launch’s fee rates, distribution and creator funds destination are fixed. The locked launch/migrated liquidity has no administrator withdrawal route. Adding earned fees to liquidity also commits those funds to the locked position.

The **protocol treasury is separate** from pool liquidity. Its owner manages recorded protocol funds, including manual buybacks and operations withdrawals. A protocol fee allocation is not a promise that the funds will be burned.

## Do holders receive dividends or staking rewards?

This release has no holder-dividend distribution, staking product or promised holder yield. Creator fees belong to the fixed creator funds wallet. The current launch form offers three project destinations: creator, buyback and liquidity.

## How are fee budgets processed?

Authorized admin wallets can open **Control Room → Fees & treasury**, select the token and choose a budget operation. The underlying contract lets anyone process project budgets and pay the transaction gas. Swaps use at most 0.5% of the input reserve, with one price-sensitive budget operation per minute per pool. The contract checks the block-opening price, minimum output and deadline; unspent funds stay allocated.

Use **Burn collected tokens only** to burn the existing token allocation without spending USDC. Ordinary buys, sells and fee claims do not share the budget interval. See [buyback and burn](/docs/buyback-and-burn/) for the project and treasury controls.

## Why does a transaction appear in my wallet before the chart?

The public index waits for confirmations and refreshes in the background. Charts, search, holder data and analytics can therefore lag a successful wallet receipt. Read the indexed block, update time and any stale-data warning. Missing data is shown as unavailable rather than replaced with a fabricated price or balance.

The chart’s loaded range may be capped; “Available” does not promise full lifetime history. Launchpad volume follows the pool contract’s counter, while V4 execution history can also include trades from other routers.

## Does a launch or a dev-buy cap certify a token?

No. Names and symbols can be copied. The dev-buy cap restricts one launch purchase, not all later purchases or all addresses controlled by one person. Holder concentration is an address-based view and cannot establish beneficial ownership. Check the contract address, balances and settings.

## Are all token transfers taxed?

No. Ordinary transfers are standard, untaxed ERC-20 transfers. The launch curve and registered V4 pool charge their configured trading fees. Separate pools created elsewhere are outside this hook’s scope.
