bridging to Base from Solana will give you over 3x the fee share you would have on Solana, but that's not because the fees are higher, but because Flaunch takes zero fees and every fee is automatically paid out as ETH, meaning you never have to sell your tokens and Flaunch truly puts creators first, choosing to create a better experience over extracting from traders. also you will bridge to Base and be happy

the best thing about flaunch sniper protection is that it works
there's a massive incentive for launchpad teams to *not* block snipers - tokens do more early volume, resulting in higher revenue (extraction) without relying on longer term individual token growth
but for apps like Zora or the Base app, simple off-chain checks could prevent app-native users from being sniper exit liquidity, and true fans would earn more
(positively) forcing users to execute early swaps on the frontend would drive users to
- keep an eye on an app
- create accounts on an app
- link their wallets to an app
- spend time on an app
building for hype is one thing but building for token longevity, quality user experiences, and healthy distribution is another
it's incredibly easy to implement this. our contracts are public, and we don't charge fees.
Groups consolidate tokens into onchain economies that drive value to creators and followers.
We also just dropped an FAQ that explains it all - https://t.co/o2doO7BdZs
Flaunch is bullish on Base, and we are committed to onboarding everyone's favorite coins to Groups.
On top of using treasury yield to buy $FLAY, we're making swift moves with our ~$20m treasury to execute strategic buys of existing Creator Coins and Memes on Base. Get ready to see the top Base coins on Flaunch.
Why? Because Flaunch is not just a launchpad. It never was - Flaunch is building a token hub, a liquidity layer, and the future of onchain capital formation.

Groups are essential to sharing the upside with your holders
Revenue from every token imported to a Group goes straight back to holders of the Group Coin, meaning you can import all your content and holders will start earning ETH without ever having to sell a coin
