HatchLaunch

Lineages

Launch a coin as a branch of another and it pays the lineage a royalty: it buys its parent (from the second generation down, half the parent and half the root), for that coin’s lineage vault or its holders. Parents back the branches that give back, and each lineage is tracked as one index.

No lineages yet. A lineage starts when someone launches a coin as a branch of another.

How lineages work

  1. 1

    Pick a parent when you launch

    Any coin on HatchLaunch can be a parent, unless it is already 3 generations below its root. Your coin becomes its branch, and the link is for life. A coin launched without a parent can join a lineage later, once, signed by the creator wallet it launched with, as long as its own branches still fit within 3 generations. A coin from outside HatchLaunch can be a lineage’s root when it launched on pump.fun, letsbonk.fun, StonkFun or Raydium’s own launchpad; stablecoins, SOL, stocks and coins from anywhere else can’t. It’s registered when its first branch launches, and its ticker and name then count as taken here. Its branches feed it one way: their royalty buys it and locks it in its lineage vault, and since its creator isn’t on HatchLaunch, nothing comes back to them.

  2. 2

    Branches pay a lineage royalty

    A branch’s creator picks at launch how much of their 0.5% creator fee goes to the lineage: 25%, 50% or all of it (0.125% to 0.5% of volume; 50% unless they pick). It buys the parent; from the second generation down, half buys the parent and half the root. The coin that receives it chose at launch, for life, where those coins go: locked for good in its lineage vault, or to its holders, who claim them pro rata. An outside root has no creator here, so what it receives is locked in its vault. The 3% fee and both burns stay the same.

  3. 3

    Parents back the branches that give back

    A creator can put 25%, 50% or 100% of their creator rewards into a backing pool, also for life. Once a branch has sent its parent $300 of royalty, is worth at least $100k and has traded 3× its highest market cap, the pool pays for its DexScreener token info ($299), or a boost if it already has token info. Once per branch; if the pool is short, the branch waits until it can pay. An outside root earns no creator rewards here, so it backs no one.

  4. 4

    Each lineage gets an index

    Once 3 members qualify ($10k in market cap and a day on the board), the 10 largest make up the lineage index, weighted by market cap, the root capped at 40% and any other coin at 20%. It starts at 1,000 points and rebalances weekly; newcomers enter at the next rebalance. It is a benchmark in points: there is no index token, and nobody holds the basket.
