FAQ

Can I launch a Strategy if I do not own the collection?

Yes, for eligible ERC-721 collections on Ethereum while the launcher is open. ERC-20 launches are also permissionless, subject to token and factory checks. ERC-1155 still requires a recognized collection owner, admin, or approved operator. For ERC-721C collections that require validator approval, the app blocks payment until the collection’s administrator approves the current factory’s predicted Strategy address. Existing paid requests can be retried once the required approval and launch timing checks pass.

See permissionless launches.

What happens to my NFT launch payment?

The current queued ERC-721 payment reserves an initial purchase of the new Strategy token. At the verified 0.25 ETH price, the budget is the payment minus two wei for liquidity. It is estimated to buy roughly 1% of the one-billion-token supply, but the actual amount is determined at launch and is not guaranteed.

The original paying wallet receives the tokens, even if someone else finalizes. This initial purchase is tax-free. Later trades pay the normal fees.

How do you determine what launches next?

Requests are public and there is no guaranteed first-in, first-out order. Each request must pass its original delay, currently one hour. After the factory’s first successful launch, a shared cooldown currently limits successful launches to one per 24 hours. The owner can change the delay and cooldown.

The countdown uses the later applicable deadline and can change after another launch or a cooldown update. Anyone can finalize an eligible request.

Can I cancel or get a refund?

There is no cancellation or refund entrypoint for a confirmed queued NFT request. A reverted finalization leaves that request and its reserved purchase budget available to retry. A reverted request payment does not create a reservation, although gas still applies.

Do not pay again just because indexing is delayed. Recover the existing request from the create page or check its transaction hash.

Do I need to write a contract or provide liquidity?

You do not need to write contract code or manually create the launch pool. The app prepares the contract calls and you review and sign them in your wallet. For a queued NFT launch, request and finalization are separate transactions.

The factory initializes a Uniswap v4 liquidity pool at finalization. A pool and paired asset do exist; the process is handled by the contracts. A new NFT Strategy implementation is immutable, while documented owner configuration controls still apply.

Does the person launching a collection receive its royalties?

Launching does not transfer royalty rights. For queued ERC-721 launches with the create form’s default settings, the royalty recipient is automatically claimed only when the payer is the collection contract’s recognized owner. Otherwise it remains unclaimed until the owner directs future royalties from the Strategy page.

Redirecting future royalties does not claw back fees that were already distributed. Unclaimed NFT royalties currently go to the configured fallback recipient.

What can a creator do with their royalties?

The recipient can choose how to use received funds: community operations, charitable donations, events, token purchases, or other purposes. These are choices made by the recipient; the Strategy does not promise any particular benefit to NFT holders.

Can people snipe the token at launch?

Ordinary buys on the current NFT hook start at a 99% fee and decrease by one percentage point per block to 10%. This makes very early ordinary purchases expensive, but it does not guarantee protection from trading strategies or price changes.

The reserved launch purchase is the specific tax-free exception. It goes to the original requester. See trading fees.

Will this raise the floor price of my NFTs?

There is no guarantee. Strategy fees can fund purchases of underlying assets, but NFT prices, available listings, token trading activity, and buyer demand determine market outcomes. The gradual bid mechanism does not establish a promised floor price.

What happens to the platform allocation?

For the standard NFT fee schedule, 1% of the trade is allocated toward buying and burning $PNKSTR at the ordinary 10% total trading fee. This is separate from collection royalties and from the new queued NFT payment used for the requester’s initial purchase.

Historical Strategies and other types can have different allocations. Use the applicable contract and quote.

How is the Strategy token price determined?

The token trades through a Uniswap v4 automated market maker. The pool’s state and executed trades determine its price; trading fees, liquidity, and market activity affect execution. An initial-purchase estimate is not a guaranteed token amount or market value.

What if my collection has low trading volume?

Lower Strategy trading activity generally means less fee funding available for asset purchases. The contracts can remain deployed, but purchases and buy-and-burn actions depend on available funds, assets, and submitted transactions. Continuous deployment does not guarantee continuous activity.

We already have a community token. Does this help it?

A royalty recipient may choose to use funds to support a separate community token. That is a decision and implementation for the recipient; it is not an automatic promise of the default NFT Strategy.

Do NFT holders receive a direct benefit?

Not automatically. Communities can choose to use royalties for holder initiatives, but launching a Strategy does not itself give NFT holders a guaranteed payout or reward.

What are the risks?

Strategy tokens are experimental and market-driven. Prices can fall, transactions can revert, contracts can have defects, and collection restrictions can prevent deployment or transfers. Understand the payment, transfer permissions, and applicable contract controls before requesting a launch.
