Reserve mode: supply that sells only into strength

Supply in a wallet can be sold at any price, at any moment, by whoever holds the key. Supply in a one-sided liquidity position above the market cannot be sold into today’s price at all. It sits as liquidity that only turns into the pair coin if buyers lift the price into its range, and it fills as they do.

Reserve uses that for a launch. You still buy at launch, inside the launch bundle, so the supply is yours before snipers arrive. Then a single custody wallet moves its share into the position, where it waits for demand.

1. Atomic launch

   The creation, the dev buy and your buys go out as one atomic bundle, the same way a Block-0 launch does.

2. Custody wallet

   One of the launch’s buy wallets is pinned as the custody wallet when the launch is set up.

3. Park

   After the bundle confirms, the custody wallet opens a Meteora DLMM position far above the market and parks its supply there.

The custody wallet needs about 0.17 SOL on top of its buy, for the position’s rent and for its own later withdrawals. It is funded at the funding stage with everything else, never at launch, and it is returned when you withdraw.

On flap.sh the position is a one-sided position in a PancakeSwap pool that Ballistic creates for the token. flap.sh blocks pool transfers while a token is still on its curve, so the position is parked after the token graduates: the launch holds the supply until then, and Ballistic parks it once the token has migrated.

Reserve and Block-0 on BNB Chain.

On Pons the position is a one-sided Uniswap V4 position in the token’s real Pons pool, not a private side pool, so liquidity is not split between two markets. Only Pons’ factory can create that pool, once the token has graduated. If the pool does not exist yet when the launch lands, Ballistic records the planned position and a sweeper that runs every minute parks it as soon as the pool exists.

Reserve and Block-0 on Pons.

• Let it fill: as buyers push the price into the position’s range, it sells to them and holds the pair coin instead.
• Sell from it: take an amount out of the position and sell it on the launchpad from the token page.
• Withdraw: proceeds from the position carry the 5% platform fee when they leave the launch wallets.

How a Block-0 launch works.

• Reserve uses one custody wallet, which holds the position.
• On flap.sh the position can only be parked once the token has graduated.
• On Pons the position can only be opened once the token has graduated and its pool exists.
• A position above the market only fills if buyers take the price there. Reserve does not create demand.
• Liquidity positions are public on chain like any other holding.
