1. Your use of the service
By using Curve, you agree to these terms and acknowledge the Privacy policy. If you do not agree, do not use the service. You must have the legal capacity and authority to enter this agreement and use the service in compliance with laws that apply to you.
Curve provides an interface to discover, create, and trade blockchain tokens. Listings, charts, descriptions, and rewards are information about a token, not an endorsement or a promise of value. Curve does not provide personalized investment, legal, or tax advice.
2. Accounts and wallet authority
You are responsible for your credentials, wallet security, and the actions you authorize. Only connect or use wallets you are entitled to control. Review messages and transactions before signing, including their recipient, amount, fees, and permissions.
Public sign-in uses your connected wallet and creates a passwordless account when needed. Curve does not generate a personal wallet for this flow or request its private key. Curve operates separate service wallets for token creation, fee collection, rewards, buybacks, AI agents and managed strategies. Curve controls those operational keys and uses them to carry out the launch’s configured actions; they are separate from your connected wallet. Previously generated owner wallets remain available through the existing recovery process.
A verified wallet signature signs you in without a password or authenticator code. The owner's legacy password/recovery path uses its applicable security checks, including two-factor authentication where enabled. Protecting a Curve session does not make a compromised wallet safe.
3. Launches, trading, and fees
You authorize the actions described in the review you approve. Fees can include the Curve protocol fee, creator fees, a platform share of creator fees, Raydium, Meteora, Pump.fun or route-provider charges, transfer taxes, creation/storage costs, and Solana network fees or rent. See Fees for the current structure. A particular launch's confirmed configuration and reviewed terms determine its charges, including any legacy differences.
New launches retain the 1% Curve platform fee and Raydium’s reviewed charges on bonding-curve buys and sells (0.25% with the standard 25-basis-point configuration). The bonding-curve creator fee is 0% for taxed holder rewards and a flat 0.5% for new creator-wallet launches and existing agent-buyback coins. Agent buyback is no longer offered for new launches; existing coins retain their configured automation. This creator rate stays the same at every valuation. After graduation, the pool’s creator-fee rate comes from its selected Raydium configuration. Curve collects creator fees through the launch’s managed wallet and routes them to its selected creator, holder-reward, or buyback destination.
New public launches use a Raydium bonding curve calibrated to a $20,000 starting valuation and an approximately $50,000 graduation valuation at the reviewed quote-asset USD reference. The fundraising target is denominated in the paired asset. These reference valuations do not guarantee a fixed USD market price; paired-asset prices, transfer taxes, migration charges, rounding and trading can affect displayed and resulting pool values. See Bonding curve and graduation for the sale and migration allocation. Already-created curves retain their confirmed sale allocation and fundraising target; changing platform defaults or upgrading fee and LP policy does not rewrite those parameters.
The default migration policy permanently locks 75% of the initial liquidity-provider tokens (LP) and burns 25%. Curve receives the fees earned by its locked position; the locked principal remains in the pool. This LP allocation describes a share of the migration liquidity, rather than a fixed percentage of every trade or a promised return. Current new launches use the fixed 75% locked / 25% burned allocation; older launches retain their confirmed settings until an eligible upgrade confirms.
Before graduation, an eligible existing launch can receive an administrator-approved upgrade to 1% platform fees, the applicable bonding-curve creator fee (0% for taxed holder rewards; 0.5% for creator-wallet and agent-buyback launches), and 75% locked / 25% burned migration LP. This upgrade leaves the token’s transfer-tax rate, original curve sale allocation and fundraising target, and the graduated pool’s separate creator fee unchanged. The change applies to future activity after its onchain transaction confirms. It does not add a creation fee for an existing launch, charge past trades, or redirect its accrued creator and reward balances. Completed migrations retain their existing LP arrangement. For eligible legacy launches, the upgrade assigns platform-fee collection and the future locked-LP Fee Key to a separate Curve-managed wallet. This can be an existing eligible platform wallet or a newly created protocol wallet approved by the launch’s owning administrator. The creator wallet, its reward destination, and the original platform administrator stay the same. Assigning a fee wallet does not replace the original administrator’s onchain authority.
For new holder-reward launches, the creator selects a transfer-tax rate from 1% to 3%, with 2% selected by default. Existing coins retain their confirmed onchain tax rate. For taxed holder-reward launches, 5% of realized tax-conversion proceeds goes to Curve and 95% funds holder rewards. Creator fees, locked-LP earnings, and this tax-revenue share are accounted for separately.
Curve allocates 50% of protocol fees and other platform-generated revenue it receives to purchases and burns of $CURVE, as described in Revenue. When enabled, a dedicated managed treasury verifies launchpad fee receipts, converts supported assets to SOL, reserves half of native SOL revenue and net conversion proceeds for $CURVE purchases, and burns confirmed purchased tokens. The remaining allocation supports platform operations and execution costs. Creator and holder-reward balances, LP principal, and pass-through costs are excluded. Collection, conversion, purchase and burn are separate transactions; execution depends on funding, available routes and service limits, with no fixed timetable or price guarantee. This platform policy is separate from an individual launch’s agent-buyback program.
Token-page trades accept your chosen slippage from 0% to 100%. A higher setting permits a worse execution price; at 100%, the minimum output is zero. Quotes expire and prices can change. Orders can fail, be delayed, partially complete across multiple transactions, or become temporarily unresolved. Successful blockchain transactions cannot be reversed by Curve. Costs already paid to a network or storage provider may remain payable even when the overall launch or trade does not finish. Recovery of unused funds depends on the actual transaction state.
Pump.fun launches
When you launch on Pump.fun through Curve, you fund the launch with one SOL transfer from your wallet to a Curve launch wallet created only for that coin. You authorize Curve to use those funds to create the coin on Pump.fun from that wallet; to set the coin’s native creator-fee sharing to the recipients of the launch option you chose and revoke the sharing admin in the same transaction; to buy your dev-buy tokens for no more than the reviewed maximum and deliver them to your funding wallet; and to fund the option’s Curve wallets with the reviewed operating reserve and any seed capital. Curve refunds the unused part of the launch-cost budget to your funding wallet and refunds the funding if the coin cannot be created. Network fees and rent already used are not refundable. The launch option and its fee-sharing recipients are permanent once the coin is created.
Every Pump.fun option includes a platform share of the coin’s creator fees for Curve, fixed for that coin when it is created. The shares by option are published in Revenue. Pump.fun’s own fees, curve, graduation rules and terms apply to the coin and its trading. Curve does not operate Pump.fun or PumpSwap and does not route trades on them.
Holder rewards on Pump.fun are paid by Curve in SOL from the coin’s reward share, following the schedule described in the docs. Eligibility, minimums, network costs and available funds apply; rewards are not guaranteed.
Market Maker and Liquidity Manager are operated by Curve from a Curve-controlled wallet created for that coin, separate from the wallet that creates the coin. Creator fees routed to the strategy and any seed capital you add become that coin’s strategy capital: they are not a deposit with or investment in you or Curve, cannot be withdrawn by you, and carry no ownership, profit or reward claim. The strategies follow the published limits and can lose value through trading, fees, price impact and liquidity provision. Curve can pause, resume or retire a strategy, including to protect the coin, its holders or the service. Curve does not promise price support, volume, liquidity, returns or any other market outcome.
AI agents. For agents launched under the current agent policy, a platform share of the fee income assigned to the agent goes to Curve before the agent’s operations/treasury split; on Pump.fun, the coin’s creator-fee share is that platform share. The rates are published in Revenue. Agents launched before this policy keep their original terms.
Closed launch modes. The Meteora → PumpSwap mode and the earlier PumpSwap bonding-curve mode are closed to new launches. Their existing coins remain available, and an unfinished paid launch can still be completed from its saved progress.
Creator-fee recipients
For eligible Curve-managed launches, an administrator can assign a different receiving wallet for creator-fee payouts, including for a community takeover. A user who signs in by proving control of the current receiving wallet can request those fee claims from the private Launched tokens page. This permission does not transfer the launch, its public creator attribution, launch-management rights, or onchain creator authority. Access follows the current recipient; pending transactions must settle before reassignment. Claims remain subject to available earned fees, transaction confirmation and service funding.
4. Tokens and financial risk
Token prices can rise or fall, including to zero. Trading and rewards depend on available liquidity, market activity, and the services involved. A liquidity lock keeps the locked position in the pool; it does not guarantee the token’s price or performance. Smart-contract, issuer, and service risks still apply.
A launch paired with a tokenized stock, ETF, or pre-IPO asset is not thereby a share in the referenced business. Any rights in the paired asset depend on that asset's issuer and terms. You are responsible for checking eligibility, restrictions, and any tax or reporting obligations.
5. Content and acceptable use
You must have the rights needed to submit names, images, descriptions, links, and profile content. You retain your rights in that content and permit Curve to store, resize, publish, and display it as needed to operate the service, including public token metadata.
Do not use Curve for fraud, impersonation, market manipulation, illegal activity, exploitation, harassment, privacy violations, malicious code, or attempts to bypass security and moderation. Pornographic or sexually exploitative launches and profile content are prohibited. Do not publish another person's private information or infringe intellectual-property rights.
Curve may hide content, restrict a wallet or account, or suspend access to investigate abuse, enforce these terms, or protect the service. Removing something from the interface does not remove it from Solana, permanent storage, or third-party copies. Archiving a launch request organizes its saved records. It does not cancel submitted transactions, change fee or reward settings, or stop fund recovery.
6. Availability and third parties
Curve depends on Solana, wallet software, RPC and routing providers, decentralized exchanges, token issuers, and storage services. Their separate terms and technical limits may apply. Their operation and data are outside Curve's complete control.
The service may be changed, paused, or unavailable. Automated rewards and fee collection depend on the relevant services being enabled, sufficient funding, and confirmed transaction state. Market values can be stale, incomplete, or inaccurate.
7. Responsibility and changes
To the extent permitted by applicable law, the service is provided as available without a promise of uninterrupted operation, accuracy, profitability, or fitness for a particular purpose. Nothing in these terms excludes rights or responsibilities that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.
Updates to these terms will be published here with an effective date. Review them before continuing to use the service. Changes to website terms do not rewrite transactions already confirmed onchain.
8. Contact
Curve's official contact channel is @curvebond on X. Ask for a private support channel before sharing personal information. Never send a wallet private key, seed phrase, password, or recovery code.
