JANPU FAQ
A practical FAQ for builders launching tokens and investors reading JANPU markets.
The answers are grounded in the app flows, public API behavior, and the JANPU smart contracts that create tokens, open Base markets, route fees, lock allocations, and power Builder Console actions.
Builder FAQ
Launch setup, market rules, builder earnings, allocations, airdrops, and post-launch operations.
Launch Setup
What does JANPU launch for a builder?
JANPU deploys a fixed-supply token, opens a Base market through enabled JANPU contracts, applies the selected fee and early-trading settings, and records the token profile that powers the market page and Builder Console.
How much token supply is created?
The JANPU token standard creates 100,000,000,000 tokens. The create flow shows how that supply is used across market liquidity and optional builder-controlled allocations before the launch transaction is signed.
Which chain is production-ready?
Base is the production network in the current public deployment. If the selected chain does not have ready JANPU contract addresses, the app blocks creation instead of asking the builder to sign an incomplete launch.
What should I prepare before creating a token?
Prepare the token name, symbol, image, description, social links, market type, fee model, builder payout wallets, mandatory builder buy funding of 0.1 ETH or 250 USDC, optional locked allocation, and optional airdrop recipient list.
Is a confirmed launch reversible?
No. Once the launch transaction confirms, the token, pool, and initial market rules are onchain. Builder Console can manage supported profile, payout, claim, verification, image, and control-wallet actions later.
Market Rules and Fees
How do trading fees work?
A JANPU hook applies the chosen market fee model. Static fees use a configured fixed rate, while adaptive fees start from a base rate and can move within the configured cap. The token detail page shows the total fee when the app can resolve the pool settings.
Why can a 10% fee show as 12%?
The JANPU hook routes a protocol portion equal to 20% of the imposed LP fee. A 10% market fee therefore appears as a 12% total fee when the protocol portion is included.
What is the difference between static and adaptive fees?
Static fees are predictable and fixed for the pool configuration. Adaptive fees let the hook move the fee between its base and maximum values, so the market can respond without exposing builders to unlimited fee settings.
What early-trading guardrails are available?
JANPU contracts include optional short-window modules that can start trading with higher fees and decay them over a brief launch period. These modules are time-limited and are separate from the normal fee cap.
Can I assume every fee setting is editable later?
No. The launch choice is the market baseline. Later changes depend on the deployed hook, the enabled contract permissions, and the Builder Console action surface available for that token.
Builder Earnings
How many payout accounts can a token have?
A JANPU launch can configure up to seven builder payout accounts. Each slot has its own payout wallet, manager wallet, split, and preferred earnings asset.
Do builder payout splits need to total 100%?
Yes. The create flow and fee-locker contracts expect the configured builder payout splits to add up to 100%, so fee claims can be divided deterministically.
Which assets can builder earnings use?
A builder payout slot can prefer the paired asset, the launched token, or both. The LP locker collects market fees and routes claimable balances according to the configured preference where the pool produces that asset.
Who can claim builder earnings?
The connected wallet must be authorized for the selected payout slot. Builder Console checks the current role before preparing a claim transaction, then the onchain contracts enforce the same authority.
Are builder earnings visible to the public?
Yes. JANPU is designed to surface builder earnings on token pages and inside Builder Console when live fee data is available, rather than hiding the economic relationship behind the market.
Reserves, Airdrops, and Builder Buy
What is the builder buy?
The builder buy is mandatory for every JANPU launch. It uses the selected paired asset, currently 0.1 ETH or 250 USDC, buys the launched token during creation, and locks the received tokens for 180 days: 80% for the builder and 20% for JANPU.
What happens to JANPU's 20% share?
JANPU's 20% share is intended to serve the network. It can be distributed to JANPU participants through regular airdrops, or burned when reducing supply is the cleaner action for the ecosystem.
Does JANPU support teams after launch?
Yes. Every builder who launches on JANPU receives a direct promise from the JANPU team: support, visibility, and amplification. The founder's dev buy helps determine how frequent, deep, and intensive that support becomes.
What is a builder allocation?
A builder allocation reserves tokens in the JANPU vault with a lock and optional vesting schedule. The UI requires a real lock period, and the contract releases tokens only as they become claimable.
How much supply can go to non-market allocations?
The app keeps allocation inputs inside market-safe limits, and the contracts reject extension allocations that exceed the allowed supply cap. In the JANPU factory, extension allocations cannot exceed 90% of supply.
How does an airdrop launch work?
The builder provides recipients and amounts, the app builds the claim data, and the JANPU airdrop contract stores the distribution. Eligible wallets can claim from the token page when the airdrop is active.
Can I upload the token image through JANPU?
Yes. The create flow accepts a direct image URL or can upload an image through the configured storage path. After launch, authorized builders can update the displayed image from Builder Console.
Builder Console and Operations
What can Builder Console manage?
Builder Console can manage supported profile metadata, socials, image URL, payout wallet, manager wallet, earnings asset preference, fee claims, token verification, and control-wallet transfers.
What does token verification mean?
Verification is an onchain mark from the original launch wallet. It helps the market page distinguish the builder-confirmed token profile from lookalike addresses, but it is not a price or safety guarantee.
What happens when a payout wallet changes?
A supported payout update changes the wallet used for that payout slot going forward. The action is prepared only for authorized wallets and then recorded by the contracts after the transaction confirms.
Can I transfer the token control wallet?
Yes, when the connected wallet has the required authority. Builder Console can prepare a control-wallet transfer transaction, and the token contract records the new control wallet onchain.
What should I expect while live data is still loading?
JANPU does not fill empty states with fake market values. Token lists, earnings, charts, holders, and fee summaries appear as real data sources refresh and the relevant onchain state becomes readable.

Discovering Markets
What can I discover on JANPU?
You can browse JANPU tokens, search by token details, open individual market pages, inspect fee settings, review builder earnings, and move into trading from the token detail page.
Why can the live markets list be empty?
The public markets list only shows real token data from configured sources. If the source has no current entries or is still refreshing, JANPU shows an empty state instead of placeholder markets.
What does a token detail page show?
A token detail page can show price, 24 hour volume, market cap, holder count, trading fee summary, early-trading settings, builder earnings, chart embeds, airdrop status, and Builder Console entry points for authorized wallets.
Can I search for a token directly?
Yes. JANPU includes header search and market browsing so you can find a token by visible token information or open a canonical token address route directly.
Which chain am I looking at?
The production JANPU market is on Base. Token pages and trade flows are built around the chain configuration registered for the token.
Trading and Fees
How does buying work?
Connect a Base wallet, enter an ETH amount, choose slippage, and review the wallet transaction. JANPU prepares a Uniswap v4 route for the token market instead of asking you to build the transaction manually.
How does selling work?
Enter the token amount, choose slippage, and follow the wallet prompts. Depending on current approvals, selling can require a token permit and a Permit2 signature before the swap transaction.
Why does JANPU recommend a slippage value?
The app uses the highest known token fee and adds a 2% buffer. For example, a token with a 10% displayed fee starts with 12% slippage selected, while manual presets and Custom remain available.
Why is the displayed fee higher than the builder fee?
The hook can include the protocol portion on top of the imposed market fee. That is why a 10% configured market fee can be displayed as 12% total fee on the trading surface.
Why might the fee model say unavailable?
That means the app has not resolved the token pool and hook fee configuration yet. JANPU shows that state plainly instead of inventing a fee number before the live source can provide it.
Early Trading and Liquidity
What does builder buy signal to investors?
Builder buy shows that the founder put capital into the token at creation, with JANPU framing that commitment as 0.1 ETH or 250 USDC. It is useful alignment context and a support signal, but it does not guarantee market performance.
Does a larger founder commitment change JANPU support?
Yes. JANPU promises support, visibility, and amplification to launch teams, and the strength of the founder buy-in helps shape the cadence and intensity of that support.
Is liquidity controlled by JANPU contracts?
JANPU launches can use LP locker contracts that hold Uniswap v4 position NFTs, collect fees, and route claimable balances through the fee-locker flow.
What are early-trading fees?
Some launches can start with temporary high fees that decay over a short opening window. These settings are intended to shape the first moments of trading and are separate from long-term token quality.
Can fees be very high right after creation?
Yes, optional early-trading modules can use high temporary LP fees for a short window. Standard static and adaptive fee models have lower caps, and the token detail page should be checked before trading.
Does JANPU guarantee token price or liquidity?
No. JANPU provides launch, market, fee, and disclosure infrastructure. Token price, liquidity depth, and execution quality still depend on market conditions and participant behavior.
Token Profile and Verification
How do I know I am viewing the right token?
Use the canonical token address on the page. Names, symbols, and images help recognition, but the contract address is the durable identifier for a JANPU token.
What does a verified token mark mean?
It means the original launch wallet has marked the token as verified through the token contract. It confirms builder control of the profile, not investment safety.
Can token profile information change?
Yes. Authorized builder wallets can update supported profile fields, social links, and image URLs. JANPU keeps the token address stable while allowing those profile updates.
What token standard does JANPU use?
JANPU tokens are ERC20 tokens with permit and vote-compatible extensions. That supports wallet approvals and common onchain integrations without changing the basic ERC20 trading model.
Why should I inspect the address before trading?
Lookalike names and symbols can exist anywhere onchain. JANPU pages expose the token address so you can compare it with the address used in your wallet, explorer, or external market tools.
Airdrops, Data, and Risk
How do I know if I have an airdrop allocation?
Connect your wallet on the token page. If the token has a JANPU airdrop and your wallet has an allocation, the page can show claim status and prepare the claim transaction.
Why can market metrics lag?
JANPU combines onchain state with public market sources. Fresh launches, quiet markets, or delayed source refreshes can leave price, volume, holders, or earnings temporarily incomplete.
What can cause a trade to fail?
Common causes include a rejected wallet prompt, stale route data, insufficient balance, fee movement, slippage limits, expired permit signatures, or Base network congestion.
Who earns from trading fees?
Configured builder payout accounts can claim their share, and the protocol portion is routed separately. JANPU surfaces these economics so investors can see how the market pays builders.
How can JANPU participants benefit from founder buys?
The JANPU share of locked founder-buy tokens can be routed back to JANPU participants through regular airdrops, or burned when the team chooses that path for the network.
What risks should I keep in mind?
JANPU tokens are volatile onchain markets. Fees, early-trading settings, builder buy, verification, and visible earnings are disclosure signals, not guarantees of liquidity, price, or safety.
