XMRVM / LAUNCHPAD FAQ

Fees, burn, graduation.
And how to use the dApp.

Straight answers about what the launchpad charges, where every part of a fee goes, and a step-by-step walkthrough from your first deposit to your first withdrawal.

01 / LAUNCHPAD FAQ

Four questions
people actually ask.

Launchpad · Fees and mechanics · November 2026

01

Is the 0.475% for buy & burn final?

Yes, for now. Every trade on the curve pays 1.25%: 0.30% goes to the token creator and 0.95% to the platform. Half of the platform part (0.475%) goes into a buyback box that no person can open. Only the TEE can use it, and only to buy back and burn XMRVM.

This rule is written into the launchpad program, and that program can't be changed. A different split would need a brand-new program.

02

Does the same fee structure continue after a token moves to Solana?

Almost the same, and the burn gets bigger.

BEFORE — ON THE CURVE · 1.25% PER TRADE
0.30%token creator
0.475%platform
0.475%buy & burn XMRVM
AFTER — ON RAYDIUM · 1.5% PER TRADE
0.25%the pool itself. It stays in the liquidity, which is locked forever.
0.285%token creator
0.9025%buy & burn XMRVM
0.0625%Raydium

So after a token moves to Solana, the creator earns about the same and the platform keeps nothing. Everything that would have gone to the platform buys and burns XMRVM.

03

How do you collect the fees after graduation?

With Raydium's creator fee, not with a token tax or a referral. Every pool is created with Raydium's config that includes a creator fee. The TEE is the pool creator, so it collects the fee, pays the token creator and buys and burns XMRVM through Jupiter.

The LP tokens are burned when the pool is created, so nobody can pull out the liquidity. The real creator's wallet is also written into the token's info on Solana, and then that info is locked so it can't change.

04

What do token creation and the XMR→SOL swap cost?

The token creation fee is simply the sum of the real costs of taking a token from launch to Solana. You pay them once, when you create the token:

  • XMR→SOL swap: done once, when the token graduates, through FixedFloat at a fixed rate. In our real test the price was about 1.2% below market, plus the Monero network fee. The TEE never accepts more than 5% below market.
  • Raydium pool creation: Raydium charges its own fee, about 0.15 SOL, plus a little rent.
  • Solana network fees: creating the token on Solana and the transactions around it.

Creation fee = swap cost + Raydium pool fee + Solana network fees.

Moving tokens to your own Solana wallet is separate and costs 0.001 XMR.

02 / HOW TO USE XMRVM

How to use XMRVM —
a walkthrough.

From first deposit to first withdrawal

XMRVM lets you put your Monero to work in applications, straight from your browser. You deposit XMR from your own wallet, use it inside the app, and withdraw it back to Monero whenever you want. There is nothing to install and nothing to run. You only need two things: a Monero wallet you already use and the Phantom browser extension.

Phantom may seem surprising — it's a Solana wallet, so why does a Monero app need it? XMRVM uses it as a signature device. Phantom never touches your XMR. It only signs messages that prove you own your XMRVM account, and later it's where tokens land when they move to Solana. Your Monero seed is never requested, entered anywhere, or taken out of your Monero wallet.

STEP 1

Connect

Open the app and click Connect wallet. Phantom will pop up and ask you to sign a short message. This signature creates your XMRVM account — a separate account inside the app that holds your balance. Every time you return and connect with the same Phantom wallet, you access the same XMRVM account.

If you lose access to that Phantom wallet, you lose access to the account, so keep Phantom's recovery phrase safe, just as you would with any wallet.

Once connected, you'll see your account address at the top, with Copy and Disconnect options next to it. The Overview tab shows your balance, which starts at zero.

STEP 2

Check what you're trusting (optional, but worth doing once)

Open the Verify TEE tab and click Run verification. The app performs a live check against the secure environment that holds the funds and shows you, step by step, what it could confirm: that the running code matches the published code, that it's running inside a hardware-protected enclave, and which Solana address belongs to it.

You can also click Download attestation to save the evidence and verify it yourself using independent tools.

You don't need to understand every line. The point is that your browser checks this live rather than relying solely on claims made on a web page.

STEP 3

Deposit XMR

Go to Overview and click Deposit XMR. The app displays Your Monero address — a Monero address associated with your XMRVM account.

Copy it into your own Monero wallet (Cake, Feather, Monerujo, the official GUI, or whichever wallet you use) and send the amount you want to use.

Then wait. The app tracks the deposit through several stages: waiting, detected when the transaction appears on the network, confirming while the Monero network processes it, and finally credited when the funds are available inside the app.

This takes about as long as any Monero transfer — typically around 20 minutes. Click Refresh to update your balance. Your Monero wallet's history will show the outgoing transaction as usual.

STEP 4

Use your balance

Your XMR is now available inside XMRVM. The Applications tab lists what you can do with it. Three applications are currently live:

  • Escrow: Go to the Escrow tab and select Fund an escrow. You can set aside XMR for a counterparty, with an optional third person acting as an arbiter. The funds remain locked until released or refunded according to the agreement. Your agreements and their statuses appear under Escrow activity.
  • Payments: The Payments tab lets you Create a conditional payment — a payment that only completes when a specified condition is met, such as a deadline. Payment activity shows the status of each payment.
  • Launchpad: The Launchpad lets you explore, create, buy, and sell tokens. More details below.

Everything within these applications happens inside XMRVM. Funding an escrow or buying a token updates your in-app balance instantly; it does not trigger a new Monero transaction every time. Monero is only involved when you deposit and withdraw.

STEP 5

The Launchpad

The Launchpad has three sections: Explore, Launch a token, and My tokens.

Explore lists every token launched on XMRVM. Click a token to open its page, where you'll find a market cap chart, recent trades, top holders, and a trading box.

Buying and selling: On a token's page, enter an amount and click Buy, or switch to sell and choose how much of your holding you want to sell. The price follows a bonding curve: it rises as more tokens are bought and falls as tokens are sold. Each trade settles immediately against your XMRVM balance. There's no order book and no waiting for a counterparty.

Launching your own token: Click Launch a token. Enter a name, symbol, and short description, and optionally add a website, X, and Telegram link. You can also make an initial purchase during the same step, allowing you to own some tokens from the start.

The total supply is fixed at one billion tokens, and nobody — not even the creator — receives any tokens for free.

Proceed to Review, check the details, and then click Create token. Your token's page opens, and it's immediately live for anyone to trade.

One important thing to understand before launching: the Phantom wallet you're connected with becomes the token's permanent creator wallet. It's recorded when the token is created and cannot be changed later. When the token eventually moves to Solana, anything owed to the creator goes to that Phantom wallet. Make sure you're connected with the wallet you actually want to use.

My tokens displays two lists: Tokens you hold and Tokens you launched.

STEP 6

Graduation: when a token moves to Solana

Every token's bonding curve has a fixed size. When the last token on the curve is bought, the token graduates.

Trading in XMR stops on its page, and the app displays Migrating to Solana with three steps: the collected XMR is converted to SOL, the exchange completes the conversion, and a liquidity pool opens on Raydium.

The secure environment handles the entire process automatically; nobody on the team touches the funds. It usually takes between 15 minutes and an hour, mostly depending on Monero confirmation time.

Once completed, the page displays Trading on Solana, with links to Raydium, Jupiter, and DexScreener.

The pool's liquidity is permanently locked, and the token on Solana has no mint or freeze authority — meaning nobody can create additional tokens or freeze anyone's tokens.

STEP 7

Moving a graduated token to your Phantom wallet and back

Once a token is on Solana, its page displays an On Solana box with two options.

  • Send to wallet: Moves tokens you hold inside XMRVM to your Phantom wallet on Solana. Enter the amount and click Send to Solana. Shortly afterward, the tokens appear in Phantom, where you can trade them on Raydium or anywhere else on Solana, just like any other Solana token.
  • Bring back: Does the reverse. Click Bring back with Phantom, approve the Solana transaction in Phantom, and the tokens return to your XMRVM holdings. You might do this to sell on the token's XMRVM page or simply keep everything in one place.

Tokens that haven't graduated cannot be sent to Solana. They exist only inside XMRVM until the bonding curve is completed.

STEP 8

Withdraw to Monero

Whenever you want your XMR back in your own wallet, go to Overview and click Withdraw.

Paste a Monero address from your wallet, enter the amount, and confirm. The amount is reserved immediately so it cannot be spent twice. The app then tracks the payout through three stages: requested, submitted (with the transaction ID once available), and confirmed.

After that, it appears in your wallet as a normal incoming Monero transaction.

STEP 9

Keeping track

The Activity tab contains your transaction history: deposits, withdrawals, trades, escrows, and payments, each with its current status.

For anything involving the Monero or Solana networks, there's a transaction ID that you can independently look up.
