One-line model
Riders launch on a Meteora DBC bonding curve quoted in their Host, then graduate to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool (LP permanently locked) when the curve completes (~$73k market cap). Deployer picks a 1% (default), 2%, or 3% tier on buy and sell (charged as 1.25% / 2.5% / 3.75% gross, paid in Host; 2-minute anti-sniper window at launch). Fee split depends on Internal vs External Host quote (see Fees). $LOCK share floors: internal 20% · external 55% — held in the $LOCK treasury until $LOCK launches, then buy & burn.
Early Host growth: a Rider with pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent (full pool TVL in SOL terms) qualifies to become a Host — no sustained 48h / 72h hold. Auto-upgrade / eligibility is the main path; a light confirm verifies mint and pool once eligible.
Become a Host ≠ Launch Rider. Hosts are quote / burn surfaces. $LOCK is the protocol flywheel coin — not a Host.
Roles
| Role | What it is | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Host | Quote coin Riders trade against | Pool depth above 20 SOL-equivalent qualifies (early: no 48h/72h hold) · light confirm once eligible · 0.05 SOL fee → treasury · a good Host backs its Riders & helps grow their communities · liq drop → Host downgraded (no new Riders; LPEPE exempt) |
| Rider | Token created on Lockon, attached to a Host | Priced against Host token; fees paid in Host; above 20 SOL-equivalent depth → eligible to become Host (early); a good Host backs the Rider |
| Buy & burn $LOCK | Floor: internal 20% · external 55% — deployer may tune but cannot go below | That share of each fee is held in the $LOCK treasury until $LOCK launches, then used to buy and burn $LOCK. External quotes route more to $LOCK. |
| $LOCK | Lockon platform coin | Not a Host. Lockon Token — separate from Rider / Host markets |
| Deployer | Rider creator | Claims Host-token fee share on Rider / Host markets only |
Host ≠ $LOCK. Any registered Host is a quote / burn target. $LOCK is the Lockon Token and does not use the Rider fee split.
Stack layers & dual-role
Hosts sit under Riders that quote them. A Rider with pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent may become a Host and host the next layer. Each token can host up to two layers of Riders. The same token can be both Host and Rider (dual-role).
- Layer 0 — base Host (e.g. LPEPE), pool depth above 20 SOL-equivalent.
- Layer 1 — Riders quoted vs that Host.
- Layer 2 — a Layer-1 Rider that clears above 20 SOL-equivalent becomes a Host; new Riders quote it (second Rider layer).
- Two layers of Riders max per token; dual-role OK on token detail (show Hosted Riders + Hosted by).
- Badge wording for eligible Riders: Upgradeable to Host.
- Eligibility / auto-upgrade and Launch remain different paths; Become a Host is a light verification step, not a separate liquidity gate.
Rider → Host (early phase)
A Rider with pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent (full pool TVL in SOL terms) qualifies to become a Host.
Early phase prioritizes growth: more Hosts are better than only LPEPE. There is no sustained 48-hour or 72-hour hold requirement to earn Host status.
- Eligibility: pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent (full pool TVL in SOL terms) on the Rider’s market.
- Main path: auto-upgrade / eligibility when that depth clears — not a heavy manual Register gate above 20 SOL-equivalent.
- Light confirm: if you use Become a Host, it verifies mint and pool once you are already eligible — it is not a second hard liquidity bar.
- Not required early: long sustained liquidity holds (no 48h / 72h Host warm-up hold).
Good Host support
A good Host backs its Riders and helps grow their communities.
When a token is a Rider of a Host, a good Host backs that Rider and helps grow its community. Aspirational product framing — not a legal duty or obligation.
- Rider: locking onto a Host means joining a Host community that can help the Rider grow.
- Host: a good Host backs its Riders and helps grow their communities.
- Does not replace trade-fee economics or Become a Host / Launch Rider rules — it sits alongside them as product framing.
Become a Host (light verification)
In the early phase, eligibility is the main path: pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent qualifies a Rider (or an already-launched mint) to act as a Host. Become a Host verifies mint and pool once eligible (above 20 SOL-equivalent), then charges a 0.05 SOL fee to the protocol treasury (国库) before the Host joins the list. Wallet required. Does not write on-chain genesis (Authority-only). Rider trade fees remain separate.
| Rule | Detail |
|---|---|
| Fee | 0.05 SOL registration fee paid to the protocol treasury (国库) DrMo4aw7vsWVAmdAcYLRxMxkEGwiDMvDbkdAnyND4TFp before the Host is accepted. Non-refundable. Network gas is separate. |
| Liquidity (early) | Above 20 SOL-equivalent full-pool TVL qualifies (not native SOL in the pool). No sustained 48h / 72h hold. Growth first — more Hosts are better. |
| Mint | Plain mint — no freeze authority, transfer fee, hooks, or permanent delegate. |
| Confirm step | Light check that mint and pool match eligibility — verification once eligible, not a second liquidity bar or long warm-up hold. |
| Depth | Two Rider layers max per token; dual-role OK. |
| Revenue | From Rider trade fees, not Host confirmation. |
| Good Host support | A good Host backs its Riders and helps grow their communities. |
| Sources | Lockon Host/Rider pools and external pools (Raydium, Meteora DBC / DAMM v2, Orca Whirlpool) measured in SOL-equivalent TVL. |
How SOL-equivalent is measured: Lockon pairs are Host/Rider (not SOL). Threshold uses full pool TVL quoted in SOL — preferred tvl_sol = liquidity_usd / sol_usd. Equivalent for a balanced AMM: tvl_sol = 2 × host_reserve × host_price_in_sol (or mark-to-market both sides). Qualify / stay listed when tvl_sol > 20. Missing price → cannot evaluate (no invented SOL price). Fallback Host remains Authority-configurable.
SOL 等值流动性怎么算:Lockon 池为 Host/Rider(不是 SOL 池)。门槛用整池 TVL 折合 SOL——优先 tvl_sol = liquidity_usd / sol_usd;均衡 AMM 等价式 tvl_sol = 2 × host_reserve × host_price_in_sol(或双侧按市值计价)。tvl_sol > 20 才达标。缺价格则无法判定(不编造 SOL 价)。Fallback Host 仍由 Authority 配置。
Liquidity drop → Host downgraded
If a Host’s deepest-pool liquidity falls below 20 SOL-equivalent on two checks in a row (checked every 30 min, ≥1h apart), the Host is Downgraded.
- Downgraded Hosts can’t be picked for new Rider launches (shown greyed: “Below 20 SOL liquidity”).
- Existing Riders are not moved: they keep trading and their fees keep flowing as before (the on-chain pairing can’t change).
- Status restores automatically once liquidity is back above 20 SOL-equivalent. A failed price lookup never downgrades a Host.
- The founding Host LPEPE is permanently exempt.
- If a Host is downgraded, its burn share buys and burns $LPEPE instead.
Launch Rider rules
Create a new Rider on a Meteora DBC bonding curve vs your chosen Host quote (not SOL-required). Pick a supported Host as quote. This is different from Become a Host.
- Create on Lockon — the Rider launches on a Meteora DBC pool priced in your Host. Fixed 1B supply with no mint authority and no freeze authority from the start (verifiable on-chain).
- Quote Host: any registered Host. Host pairing is immutable after create.
- Trading fee: 1% (default), 2%, or 3% tier, charged as 1.25% / 2.5% / 3.75% gross (Meteora keeps 20% of trading fees). Anti-sniper: for the first 2 minutes after launch the fee starts at 50% and decays to the tier over 120 seconds. Fee rate is immutable after create.
- Priority buy (project): optional first buy into the new Host curve at create (SOL amount → Host quote). Fee rate and Host pairing stay immutable after create.
- Graduate to Meteora DAMM v2 — when the curve completes (about $73k market cap, set from the Host’s USD price when its config is created), the pool auto-migrates to a Meteora DAMM v2 pool (same Host pair) with 100% of LP permanently locked. New Host configs may be re-tuned; existing pools keep their curve.
- Trade right away — Riders are tradable from launch on Jupiter, GMGN and other Solana apps, and on the Rider’s Lockon token page. After graduation, trading continues on the DAMM v2 pool.
- No “Launch with SOL / $LOCK” funding toggle — quote is the Host.
- A good Host backs its Riders and helps grow their communities.
- Later, a graduated Rider (on DAMM v2) with pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent qualifies to become a Host (early: no 48h/72h hold; light confirm). Two Rider layers max; dual-role OK. Under-threshold Host → Downgraded (no new Riders; existing Riders keep trading; founding Host LPEPE exempt).
Token safety & authorities
Wallet-scanner greens (Binance Wallet token detect, GoPlus, RugCheck, etc.) are not automatic from fee-table rules. Launch design and Docs require the steps below. Rider mints are created by Meteora DBC with a fixed supply and no mint or freeze authority; the UI shows on-chain status where detectable and never fakes it.
- No mint authority — DBC mints the fixed 1B supply at create and leaves no mint authority. Verifiable on-chain.
- No freeze authority — DBC Rider mints are created without a freeze authority. Verifiable on-chain.
- Fee rate — tiers 1% / 2% / 3% (default 1%), charged as 1.25% / 2.5% / 3.75% gross. During the 2-minute anti-sniper window at launch the fee starts at 50% and decays to the tier; anti-sniper fees are split the same way (Host, deployer, $LOCK).
- LP permanently locked — on auto-migration to Meteora DAMM v2 (same Host pair), 100% of the LP is permanently locked.
- No honeypot backdoors — platform rule: Rider mints must not include pause-trade, blacklist, or hidden tax admin controls.
- Self-scan before marketing — run RugCheck, GoPlus, and Binance Wallet token detect on the live mint.
- Immutable after create — that pool’s chosen fee rate (1/2/3%) and Quote/Host pairing cannot be edited afterward. Protocol default fee tables for new launches may still change via Authority.
See the checklist on Launch → How it works (shown again after a successful create).
Become a Host ≠ Launch Rider
| Become a Host | Launch Rider | |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Verify mint / pool once eligible (above 20 SOL-equivalent); eligibility / auto-upgrade is the main path | Create a new Rider on Lockon |
| Quote | — | Pick Host (any Host / external above 20 SOL-equivalent) |
| Fee at action | No large fee (gas; optional anti-spam deposit) — not a second liquidity gate | Launch on Lockon (mint + Host pool) |
| Later | Hosts receive Rider attachments; liq < 20 SOL-equivalent → Host downgraded (no new Riders; existing Riders unaffected; LPEPE exempt) | Rider above 20 SOL-equivalent qualifies as Host (early; light confirm; two Rider layers max) |

Rider / Host trade fees → Host burn / deployer / $LOCK
These rules apply to Rider / Host markets only — not to $LOCK itself. Rider trades settle against the Host token. At launch, the deployer chooses a 1% (default), 2%, or 3% tier — buy fee = sell fee, paid in Host token and charged as 1.25% / 2.5% / 3.75% gross because Meteora keeps 20% of trading fees. Anti-sniper: the first 2 minutes after launch start at 50% and decay to the tier over 120 seconds; those fees are split the same way. Of each fee (after Meteora’s share), the split depends on whether the quote is an Internal or External Host:
Internal Host (Lockon-issued)
Internal Host — a token issued on Lockon (launched via Lockon Launch).
| Share of that fee | Destination | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 45% | Host burn (direct) | Burns Host supply — Host deflation |
| 25% | Rider deployer | Claimable Host tokens for the Rider creator |
| 10% | Own-token buyback & burn | Buys and burns the Rider’s own token |
| 20% | $LOCK share (floor) — held in the $LOCK treasury until launch, then buy & burn |
Buys and burns $LOCK |
External Host (off-platform)
External Host — a token issued off Lockon (e.g. Pump.fun or other platforms), then used as quote / registered as Host.
| Share of that fee | Destination | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| 30% | Host burn (direct) | Burns Host supply — Host deflation |
| 10% | Rider deployer | Claimable Host tokens for the Rider creator |
| 5% | Own-token buyback & burn | Buys and burns the Rider’s own token |
| 55% | $LOCK share (floor) — held in the $LOCK treasury until launch, then buy & burn |
Buys and burns $LOCK |
On Rider / Host markets, the chosen tier applies per side — buy and sell each pay the same rate (1% tier = 1.25% gross). Of the $LOCK share (internal 20% / external 55%): until $LOCK launches it is held in the $LOCK treasury; after launch it is used to buy & burn $LOCK, and once holder rewards are live 50% → holders · 50% → buy & burn $LOCK. Deployer may tune later but cannot lower these floors. External quotes are allowed; internal pairing keeps more for Host burn and deployer.
Worked example (Internal Host, default 1% tier)
Per-side notional (one buy or one sell) = 1,000,000 Host units at the default 1% tier, charged as 1.25% gross. Meteora keeps 20% of the fee; the remaining 1% is split with the Internal default (45 / 25 / 10 / 20). A round-trip pays this on both sides. Not during the 2-minute anti-sniper window. This example is not the $LOCK market.
| Destination | Host amount | Of notional |
|---|---|---|
| Fee charged (1.25% gross on that side) | 12,500 | 1.25% |
| Meteora protocol share (20% of fee) | 2,500 | 0.25% |
| Split pool (1% tier) | 10,000 | 1.00% |
| Host burn (45% of pool) | 4,500 | 0.45% |
| Rider deployer (25% of pool) | 2,500 | 0.25% |
| Own-token buyback & burn (10% of pool) | 1,000 | 0.10% |
| $LOCK share (20% of pool) — treasury until $LOCK launches | 2,000 | 0.20% |

$LOCK holder rewards
Funded by the Rider / Host treasury reward half: treasury Host token (early: LPEPE) is sold for SOL; 50% of that SOL buys $LOCK for holders. Every 1 hour, the pot opens and Lockon automatically sends $LOCK evenly over that hour — payout activity every minute across 60 minutes. There is no manual claim. The other half of treasury SOL buys and burns $LOCK.
- Cadence: pot / round opens every 1 hour
- Stream: within that hour, rewards are sent evenly over time so there is payout activity every minute (auto-send
$LOCK, not SOL) - Min pot: distribute only if pot ≥ 50,000 LOCK; otherwise roll into the next hour
- Eligibility order:
- Start from holders with balance > 100,000 LOCK
- Drop trading pool / AMM / LP vault addresses (Raydium, Orca, Meteora, pump curve vaults, and other known pool/vault ATA owners) — never pay pools
- Drop wallets with continuous hold ≤ 6 hours
- Rank the remaining set by balance → take Top 1000 only
- Top 1000 cutoff: the LOCK balance of the #1000 eligible holder (minimum balance to be in the current Top 1000 after the filters above) — shown on the homepage as Top 1000 cutoff: XXX,XXX LOCK
- Dust: payouts below a small floor roll into the next hour
- Delivery: auto-send only (no claim CTA). Prefer sending only to wallets that already have a $LOCK ATA so the protocol does not pay rent to create accounts
- Burns: Rider / Host treasury buyback burns of

Lifecycle
- Host eligibility — pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent · plain mint · early: no 48h/72h hold · light confirm once eligible
- Host ready — mint / pool verified; open for Rider launches
- Launch Rider on Lockon — bonding curve vs Host quote
- Graduate — curve completes (~$73k market cap) → auto-migrate to Meteora DAMM v2 + LP permanently locked
- Good Host support — backs its Riders and helps grow their communities
- Trade Rider — Meteora DBC curve, then DAMM v2 (same Host pair); on Jupiter, GMGN and other Solana apps from launch
- Rider / Host: choose a 1% / 2% / 3% tier (default 1%; charged as 1.25% / 2.5% / 3.75% gross) on buy and on sell in Host — Internal 45/25/10/20 · External 30/10/5/55 ($LOCK share floors)
- $LOCK share — internal 20% / external 55% of each Rider fee; held in the $LOCK treasury until $LOCK launches, then buy & burn
- Optional later: Rider above 20 SOL-equivalent → Host (two Rider layers max)
- If Host liq < 20 SOL-equivalent: Host downgraded — no new Riders; existing Riders keep trading (founding Host LPEPE exempt)
Overview diagram
Combined Rider / Host flow: Host quoted by Rider → fee rate + Internal/External split → Host burn / deployer / own buyback-burn / buy & burn $LOCK. Riders above 20 SOL-equivalent may become Hosts (early; light confirm).
Product copy anchors
- Rider → Host (early) — pool liquidity above 20 SOL-equivalent qualifies; no 48h/72h hold; auto-upgrade / eligibility is the main path
- Become a Host — verifies mint and pool once a Rider is eligible above 20 SOL-equivalent
- Launch Rider — Lockon · any Host as quote
- Upgradeable to Host — badge on Riders that clear above 20 SOL-equivalent
- Two layers of Riders — each token can host up to two Rider layers
- A good Host backs its Riders and helps grow their communities — Good Host support
- Rider / Host: 1% tier on buy + sell (default; 1.25% gross) — paid in Host; Internal 45/25/10/20 · External 30/10/5/55 ($LOCK share floors)
- $LOCK share — internal 20% / external 55% of each Rider fee; held in the $LOCK treasury until $LOCK launches, then buy & burn
- $LOCK holder rewards — every 1h · stream every minute · >100k LOCK → exclude pools/vaults → exclude hold ≤6h → Top 1000 · ≥50,000 LOCK pot · dust rolls · auto-send $LOCK · no claim
- Dual-role pages: show Hosted Riders and Hosted by when both apply
- Liq drop → Host downgraded — Host below 20 SOL-equivalent (2 checks in a row, ≥1h) → Downgraded: no new Riders can launch on it; existing Riders keep trading and fees keep flowing. Auto-restores when liquidity is back above 20. Founding Host LPEPE is exempt.
Fee % tiers and Internal/External defaults are product defaults. Deployers can change the split later but cannot lower buy & burn $LOCK floors (internal 20%, external 55%). Exact on-chain math may refine without freezing the narrative as immutable.
