Evolve documentation

Evolve is a platform on Solana for launching a token together with its whole economy: launch model, fee rules, automations, an AI agent, liquidity, locks and a community feed. Every module writes to the same activity layer, so what happens to a token is visible on its project page and in the feed.

Every token launches on a bonding curve, the way pump.fun works. The full supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens sits on the curve. Anyone can buy and sell against it from the first second, and the price rises as people buy. The creator gets no free tokens; they can make the first buy like anyone else.

When about 85 SOL has been raised the curve graduates: its liquidity moves to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool and that liquidity is locked forever. From then on the token trades on any Solana DEX or aggregator.

Every trade on the curve pays 1.25% in SOL. Meteora keeps 0.25% as its protocol fee, the creator earns 0.30% and Evolve 0.70%. The creator claims their share from the token page. Launching costs only account rent and network fees.

All fees live in one registry. Each entry has a type (fixed or a percentage), the asset, who receives it, a hard ceiling and a version. A change is proposed, waits 48 hours and only then applies. An unconfigured fee blocks its action rather than charging zero or a guess.

Every transaction screen shows: your input, the protocol fee, any creator fee, the estimated network fee, refundable rent and what you receive. Network fees and DEX swap fees are never shown as protocol revenue.

Protocol fee sources → revenue router → 80% buybacks of $NEX, 10% airdrops to $NEX holders, 10% team.

The router splits its balance in fixed basis points (8000 / 1000 / 1000) written into the program. Anyone can trigger a distribution. Rounding dust goes to the buyback bucket so nothing is lost. Destinations change only through a timelocked proposal.

Four kinds of money are kept apart everywhere: creator revenue, protocol revenue, LP / DEX fees and network fees. Only protocol revenue is split 80/10/10.

Live today: buyback pressure from 80% of protocol revenue and weekly holder airdrops from 10%. Planned: fee discounts, visibility boosts, agent features, launch benefits, governance over fees within program ceilings, and a staking module for liquidity incentives. No return is promised.

The buyback bucket buys $NEX in several smaller market orders through the week to limit price impact. Every order is listed on Buybacks. A buyback is not a burn; bought $NEX stays in the buyback treasury unless a burn is decided and shown.

Project buybacks are separate: a project automation that buys back its own token. That has nothing to do with $NEX.

Dynamic Liquidity Management keeps concentrated liquidity in range. Strategies differ in range width and when the range moves: Adaptive (±8%, moves at once), Balanced (±15%, moves after price stays out), Wide (±30%) or Custom. The strategy builder backtests them on recorded price paths.

DLM charges a management fee on the swap fees a position earns, never on principal. Impermanent loss applies to every liquidity position. Fee APR shown is trailing 24h fees annualized. Status: DLM vaults are not deployed yet.

Evolve builds its own lockers. We do not rely on Streamflow or any third-party locker. One program holds both: on Solana an LP position is an SPL token (AMM LP mints) or an NFT (concentrated liquidity positions), so locking any SPL mint covers both.

• Schedules: single unlock at a date, or a cliff followed by linear vesting.
• No admin unlock, no cancel. Only the beneficiary can extend the unlock date, never shorten it. (If the creator could, a creator could lock a vesting recipient forever.)
• Only the beneficiary can claim, and only what has vested.
• A flat fee in SOL per lock, capped at 1 SOL in the program, with 48 hour timelocked changes. The fee is paid straight into the revenue router vault, whose address is compiled into the locker.
• Token-2022 mints with transfer fees, hooks, permanent delegates or other risky extensions are refused.
• Rent for the lock accounts returns to the creator on the final claim.
• Every lock has a public verification page with its terms and transactions.

Limitation: concentrated-liquidity fees earned by a locked position NFT cannot be collected while it is locked.

A rule is a trigger (schedule, volume step, treasury balance, milestone or external event), optional conditions (price, liquidity, holders, treasury), one action (buyback, burn, airdrop, top-N airdrop, LP top-up, treasury allocation, holder rewards, agent funding, custom allocation) and limits (per-run cap, daily cap, cooldown, slippage). Failed runs are not charged. Every run is logged with its reason and transaction. A kill switch stops a rule at once.

Status: rules are stored and simulated; the on-chain executor is not live yet.

Manual burns use the token program's burn instruction from your own wallet and are recorded from the chain. Scheduled, fee-funded and milestone burns are automations. Burns reduce supply; buybacks do not.

An agent has a character (name, avatar, personality, voice) and a policy. The policy lists allowed actions, assets and venues and sets a per-action cap, a maximum position, daily spend and loss caps, a slippage limit and a treasury allocation. There is no unlimited setting. The emergency stop denies everything.

Every action is checked against the stored policy. The explanation shown with an action is the rule and data that triggered it, recorded at the time. Agents never wash trade, spoof or fake volume; those strategies cannot be configured.

Status: the delegated execution program is not deployed. Agents run in propose mode and the owner signs.

Launches, liquidity moves, locks, burns, buybacks, airdrops and agent actions become feed items generated from their records. Communities have plain-text posts. Likes, follows and posts need a wallet sign-in, are rate-limited, and can be reported; moderators can hide items.

Each project has a treasury that automations and agents draw from within their limits. The protocol has three treasuries fed by the revenue router: buyback, holder rewards and team.

• Wallet sign-in by signed message; no private keys on the server or in the browser code.
• Every money-moving screen shows the full effect before you sign and simulates the transaction first.
• Program authorities are explicit; locker and router have no admin path to user funds.
• Fee and destination changes are timelocked and capped by constants in the programs.
• Admin pages require an allowlisted wallet; admin actions are written to an audit log.
• Features can be paused by area (launches, agents, automations, social). Pausing never blocks claims from locks.

Upgrade authority: each program's upgrade authority is a trust point separate from the program logic. It will be listed here with the address that holds it, and moved to a multisig before mainnet.

How does a launch work?

Like pump.fun: the whole supply is on a bonding curve, anyone can buy and sell, and at 85 SOL raised it graduates to a Meteora pool with liquidity locked forever.

What does trading cost?

1.25% per trade on the curve. The creator earns 0.30%, Evolve 0.70% and Meteora 0.25%.

Where does protocol revenue go?

Through one revenue router: 80% buys $NEX on the market, 10% is airdropped to $NEX holders, 10% goes to the team. The split is fixed in the router program.

Do you use Streamflow or another third-party locker?

No. The token locker and the liquidity locker are Evolve's own program. There is no third-party locker dependency.

Can anyone unlock a lock early?

No. The locker has no admin unlock and no cancel. The only change allowed is moving the unlock date later.

Can an agent spend without limits?

No. Every agent has required limits: allowed actions, assets and venues, a per-action cap, daily spend and loss caps, a slippage limit and an emergency stop. Until the execution program is live, agents only propose and the owner signs.

Are returns guaranteed?

No. Buybacks and holder airdrops depend on protocol activity. Fee APR figures are trailing numbers, not promises.
