[ Midnight Network / Zero-knowledge ]
A multi-chain token launchpad on Midnight Network. Every launch gets DarkVeil, a private buying phase powered by zero-knowledge proofs, whichever chain the token settles on, unless its creator chooses a Basic launch.
[ 01 / Pipeline ]
Pay the flat fee, the same on every chain. Choose the settlement chain, then configure supply, vesting and the DarkVeil allocation, or choose Basic and skip DarkVeil.
Verified buyers register during a 48-hour window, free, from a wallet holding at least $50 of ADA. Eligibility is checked off-chain.
DarkVeil opens for 24 hours on Midnight. Buys are private: no front-running, no MEV. Everyone pays the same flat price.
After settlement the quadratic public curve opens. Price rises with every buy. Graduation requires 100% sell-through.
At 100%, liquidity seeds the launch’s own Noctis Swap pool and locks for 365 days. The ZK certificate is published.
[ 02 / Launch types ]
DarkVeil runs on Midnight for every launch except Basic, which skips the private phase and opens its curve at a random time. Otherwise a column changes where the token settles and what it trades in — not whether the buying phase is private.

[ 03 / Guarantees ]
The LP escrow has no withdraw path. Not disabled, not gated — there is no code that returns LP tokens to a wallet, on any chain.
5% per wallet key, counted across DarkVeil and the public curve together. A claim and a buy draw on the same allowance.
100% sell-through or the curve does not graduate. There is no partial graduation and no early LP seeding.
Up to 365 days, selected at creation with no default; a bigger allocation means a longer minimum, from 90 days up to 365. Nothing releases until the whole period has run from graduation, then all of it does.
If a creator goes silent for 90 days, token holders can vote to redirect fees and freeze unvested tokens to a community treasury.
Every DarkVeil phase publishes a ZK Fair Launch Certificate on Cardano: what was raised, that the creator bought nothing, that no wallet passed the cap.
