Trading
Buy and sell any Etchify coin from its page, with your own wallet, in about a second.
Buying and selling
Open a coin from Coins and use the Buy / Sell panel:
- Choose Buy (pay ETH) or Sell (get ETH).
- Enter an amount. Etchify shows a live quote.
- Approve in your wallet. Selling the first time also asks for a token approval.
Every coin trades in its own Uniswap v4 pool from the moment it launches. The panel here goes through the launchpad's buy and sell, but the pool is an ordinary Uniswap v4 pool: any wallet, trading bot or terminal (GMGN, DexScreener and the like) can trade it directly, and the fee and the price are the same everywhere. Etchify never holds your tokens.
Coins on cbBTC
A creator can pair a coin with cbBTC instead of ETH: Coinbase's Bitcoin on Robinhood Chain, 1:1 with BTC. The coin's pool then trades against cbBTC, so its price is in Bitcoin, and terminals show it as a cbBTC pair.
| Coin on ETH | Coin on cbBTC | |
|---|---|---|
| Its pool | ETH / coin | cbBTC / coin |
| Buy and sell here | With ETH | With ETH: the launchpad swaps ETH and cbBTC in the same transaction, through the Uniswap v3 cbBTC/WETH pool (0.05%) |
| Trade with cbBTC directly | No | Yes, from any app or the launchpad's buyWithQuote and sellForQuote |
| Fees (2%) paid in | ETH | cbBTC |
| The curve | 3.8 ETH buys it | 0.11 cbBTC buys it (about the same today) |
The ETH-cbBTC route is fixed in the launchpad and can never change. Each quote on the coin page includes both swaps and their fees.
Price protection
Every trade carries a minimum received 1% below the quote. If the price moves further before your trade lands, the transaction reverts and you keep your funds.
Fees
| Goes to | Share of each trade |
|---|---|
| The coin's creator | 1% |
| Etchify | 1% |
| Total | 2%, in the pool's currency (ETH, or cbBTC for a coin on cbBTC), on buys and sells, through any app |
The pool's own LP fee is zero: the fee is charged by the pool's hook, which fixed each coin's fee when it launched. The token itself has no tax.
Reading a coin page
| Figure | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Market cap | Price × 1,000,000,000 tokens, in USD and BTC |
| Price per 1M | What one million tokens cost now, in satoshis |
| In the pool | ETH in the coin's Uniswap v4 pool |
| Curve | How much of the first 800M tokens has been bought (100% at about 3.8 ETH in the pool) |
Two coins can share a name and ticker. Always check the address (copy it from the coin page) before you trade.
