What is c402?

c402 is a new coin standard — a regular ERC-20 token with x402 support and built-in open mint mechanics. c402 coins are "internet coins".

You can find the source code on GitHub (in 48h).

What is c402.markets?

c402.markets is a mintpad for internet capital markets. It’s a platform for creating and minting c402 coins aka. internet coins.

How does a mint on c402.markets work?

Anyone can create a coin by providing a name, ticker, description, and image. Once created, the coin will automatically start minting ██████ minutes and ████ seconds later.

Each coin has a total supply of 1 billion tokens. There are no team, dev, or creator allocations.

  • 49% of the supply is minted through ██████ transactions, each costing 1 USDC.
  • Once all mints are completed, the collected ██████ USDC is swapped to the chosen pair token*, and together with the remaining 49% of the coin supply, it is provided as locked liquidity.
  • 2% of the total supply is reserved for the developer bonus (see Dev Revenue section).

How can I mint a coin?

Be ready when a coin goes live — exactly ██████ minutes and ████ seconds after creation. Demand may vary, but if it’s high, users (and bots) will likely compete for mint slots.

Where can I trade minted coins?

Liquidity will be provided on Uniswap v4. Any frontend supporting Uniswap pools will work. c402.markets is for creating coins, not for trading them.

How can I earn revenue as a dev?

  1. DEX Fee: You earn a 1% trading fee on all DEX trades involving your coin’s locked liquidity. Part of this fee is paid in your coin — you can sell it if you need funds.
  2. Bonus Sale: ███████████████████████████████

What are the fees?

  • 2% platform fee on every USDC spent, sent to a fee receiver specified in the contract. External frontends can act as referrers and take this fee for themselves. You can also build your own frontend, set your own address as the referrer, and pay no fee.
  • 1 USDC spam protection fee per coin creation goes to the platform.
  • Bribe Fee: ███████████████████████████████
  • Gas fees apply since c402 runs on Base.
  • All fees are non-refundable.

*At platform launch, only $PING will be supported. The contracts technically support all coins, but the frontend will not index everything. Developers are encouraged to contribute, build their own frontends, and take a fee.
