01 / THE ESSENTIALS
Follow the trade
Bloom lets people launch tokens and trade them against supported assets on Robinhood Chain. Choose a side below to see how a payment can reach the pool—and how a sale can reach your wallet.
Example route · buy
- ETHYou send
- USDGConverted along the way
- bBRLConverted along the way
- YOUR TOKENYou receive
You end up holding your chosen token. Bloom handles the conversions in one trade transaction when a route is available. You may need a separate spending approval first.
Illustration only, not a live quote. TSLA represents a stock pair; bBRL represents a synthetic currency pair. Actual routes may include other conversion steps. Fees, reserves and slippage determine the amount received.
02 / THE ESSENTIALS
What happens at launch?
A new token, a trading pool and the creator’s first purchase are created together.
Bloom’s launch flow creates a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens and places the supply into the launch pool before making the creator’s initial buy. The creator receives the tokens bought by that payment, rather than a separate free allocation. The initial liquidity position is locked.
The opening market cap is a starting valuation used to price the token. It is not a cash deposit. Buying brings real funds into the pool, while selling uses available funds. Locking the launch position does not guarantee demand, a particular price or unlimited selling capacity.
03 / THE ESSENTIALS
Understand your pair
In CLOUD / TSLA, CLOUD is the launched token and TSLA is the other asset in its trading pool.
What pairing means
Buyers exchange the paired asset for CLOUD; sellers exchange CLOUD back. Bloom can convert ETH or USDG along the way when a route is available.
What it does not mean
CLOUD holders do not become Tesla shareholders. Their token is not redeemable for a fixed amount of TSLA, and its price does not automatically track Tesla.
04 / THE ESSENTIALS
Where the fees go
Each Bloom launch market has its own buy and sell fee rates, chosen by the creator and fixed at launch. A portion of each trading fee is allocated to the creator; the rest goes to Bloom.
Use the market’s Trading fees panel for its actual rates. The example below explains the split only; it does not estimate a live trade, gas or token returns. Fees on other pools and conversion steps can differ.
Try a fee example
- 70% creator share
- $1.40
- 30% Bloom share
- $0.60
Illustrative USD values, rounded to cents. This models the fee on the paired-asset side of a trade, not your token amount or a guaranteed payout. It excludes gas, conversion fees, price impact and launch costs. Check the actual market’s rates and split before trading.
05 / THE ESSENTIALS
Earn, burn or give
Trading fees accumulate only when eligible trades happen. The creator decides whether their share supports their wallet or a charity.
In earnings mode, connect the wallet that created the market to collect its available share in ETH. The creator can change how much of that share buys and burns their launched token; the remainder is paid to the wallet. Burning removes tokens from circulation, but does not promise a price increase.
When the donation option is enabled, the creator can choose one charity at launch. All of the creator’s fee share is then allocated to that charity, while Bloom’s portion remains unchanged. This choice is permanent: it cannot be redirected to another charity, switched back to earnings or used for token burns.
Available to collect, already collected and delivered to a charity are different balances. Collection needs an available conversion route. A person manually collecting fees also needs ETH for gas.
06 / THE ESSENTIALS
Buyback & burn
Part of every launch buys PONS and BLOOM and burns them. The funds can only leave the vault as a swap whose output goes to the burn address.
When a market is created, the launchpad keeps 5% of the creator’s initial buy and sends it to the Bloom buyback vault, booked half for PONS and half for BLOOM. The pool is seeded with the remaining 95%; the launch review shows the current rate.
The swap is not part of the launch transaction — doing it there would let a creator sandwich their own launch and take the fee back. A keeper executes it later through an allow-listed router with a minimum-output guard, and everything received is sent to 0x…dEaD. Nobody, Bloom included, can withdraw accounted balances from the vault.
Each burn is a public transaction: the vault’s Buyback events and its burned(token) counter are the audit trail. Burns reduce supply; they do not promise a price.
07 / THE ESSENTIALS
Follow a donation all the way
Collected does not mean delivered. The market page shows each stage so you can see where the funds are.
- 01
In the vault
The creator share is converted to ETH and collected into the market’s donation vault on Robinhood Chain.
- 02
Bridged to Base
The funds are sent to Base. Bridge and network conditions affect the timing and cost.
- 03
On the agent
The market’s dedicated donation contract receives the funds and converts them to USDC.
- 04
Given to the organisation
The USDC donation is made to the selected charity through Endaoment. Processing costs reduce the amount the charity receives.
Bloom’s automated service checks for funds regularly. Small amounts may wait until there is enough to process; a scheduled check is not a delivery deadline. Anyone can trigger a collection, but that does not instantly complete the bridge and donation.
08 / THE ESSENTIALS
Commodity & currency coins
Bloom synthetic coins aim to follow reference prices—for example, one bBRL represents the price of one Brazilian real. They are price exposure, not bank deposits or claims on physical goods.
These coins can trade against USDG in public pools. The pool can open with issued synthetic coins and no USDG deposit. Purchases bring in USDG that can support later sales. An automated service adjusts buy and sell liquidity around the reference price; unsold coin inventory is not cash backing.
Selling capacity depends on real available funds, the pool’s liquidity positions and the trade size. The issuer controls future coin issuance. A target reference price does not guarantee a fixed redemption price, and a small pool can have a large price impact.
Stale means the app does not have a recent valid reference price. Bloom pauses its offered trades until it has a valid update. For public pools, the updater also removes Bloom’s positions when it runs; liquidity added by others and external trading remain outside Bloom’s control. Different assets have different update schedules.
09 / THE ESSENTIALS
Read the numbers clearly
These numbers answer different questions. None of them is a promise of what your whole balance will sell for.
- Market cap
- Quoted token price × total supply. A $4,000 market cap does not mean there is $4,000 available to pay sellers.
- Liquidity / reserves
- Assets available in a trading pool. Your actual sell quote depends on the trade size and which liquidity is usable at that price.
- Price impact
- How much your own trade changes the pool price. Larger trades in smaller pools usually have a greater effect.
- Slippage / minimum received
- Slippage sets the price movement you accept after quoting. Minimum received is the lower amount you agree to accept for that transaction.
- Network fee / gas
- ETH paid to process a blockchain transaction. It is separate from Bloom’s fees and can be spent even when an on-chain transaction fails.
- Locked liquidity
- The creator cannot withdraw the initial launch position. This does not remove market losses, issuer risk, technical failures or limited liquidity.

A few common questions
Quick answers for the moments when the next step is not obvious.
Why can’t I buy or sell right now?
A trade needs a working route, enough liquidity and, for a synthetic pair, an acceptable reference price. Check your balance and approval, then read the message in the trade panel. Increasing slippage cannot create missing liquidity or fix an unavailable route.
Why does my wallet ask for an approval?
An approval lets a contract spend a token for the action you requested. It can be a separate transaction before a trade or launch. Check the token, spending limit and recipient contract in your wallet. Approving spending alone does not complete the trade.
Can I use GMGN, another trading app or my wallet’s swap button?
External apps choose which pools, routes and tokens they support. A public pool or a visible chart does not guarantee that their swap service can trade it. Bloom’s market page checks its own routes; always use the exact token address.
Why do charts, images or prices look different elsewhere?
Each platform discovers and updates token information independently. A newly launched token can appear later, without an image, or with different price and liquidity data. A confirmed blockchain receipt is the evidence that a launch or trade completed.
Can a failed transaction still cost ETH?
Yes. A transaction that is processed on-chain and fails can still use a network fee. Rejection in your wallet or a failed preview is different from an on-chain failure. Check the transaction’s explorer status before submitting again.
Where is the donation receipt?
Open Trading fees on the market page to follow the funds and view the charity and agent links. Funds collected into the vault are not yet a completed donation. The on-chain donor is the market’s agent contract; choosing charity mode does not promise a personal tax receipt.
Does a featured listing mean the token is approved or safe?
No. Listing order, a token name, an image or a featured position is not an endorsement. Research the project and verify its address. Perps is marked Soon and is not currently available.
