Block-0 launch
A Block-0 launch sends a token's creation and the creator's buys from several wallets out together at launch, so the creator's share of the supply is bought before snipers can react. On Ballistic it is a launch mode you set up and fund before the launch starts, offered on several launchpads.
Without it, a creator deploys the token and then buys in a separate step. Bots that watch for new tokens can buy in that gap, ahead of the creator, at a lower price on the curve.
On Solana the creation and the buys go out as one atomic bundle. On Robinhood Chain (Pons) they are one transaction: an EIP-7702 deployer creates the token with the dev buy and then executes your bundled buys, which split the configured buy evenly. Ballistic offers Block-0 on pump.fun, Pons, flap.sh and StonkFun. How a Block-0 launch works.
What it needs. A Block-0 launch is one unit that cannot wait for a top-up, so every wallet has to be funded before it starts. That is why Ballistic funds all of them at the funding stage, against one figure that includes the buys, the creation and the tip or gas.
Limits. On Ballistic the launch itself carries the creator’s dev buy and at most two buyer wallets’ buys, on every launchpad and chain. The two buyers split the configured buy evenly, and a buy that two wallets cannot carry is refused at setup, never bought smaller. The rest of the supply is handed on to other wallets afterwards. Block-0 decides who buys first. It does not promise a price, volume or profit.
Questions
Does a Block-0 launch guarantee a profit?
No. It fixes the order of the first buys. The price, the volume and what other holders do afterwards are outside it.
What happens if part of a Block-0 launch fails?
Nothing lands half done. On Solana the bundle is dropped whole; on EVM chains the transaction reverts and the creation goes with it.
Is Block-0 the same as a bundle?
A bundle is the method: transactions sent together. Block-0 is Ballistic’s launch mode built on it, with the funding done beforehand. How the technology works.
