Introducing Gavel
Gavel is a launchpad powered by Uniswap-style Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA). Projects sell tokens over time, discover a real market price, and seed liquidity automatically — without timing games.
What Gavel does
Gavel is built for launches that should be:
Open by default — fair launches anyone can join
Market-priced — price is discovered over time, not set in a private chat
Onchain-verifiable — bids, prices, allocations, and settlement are auditable
Liquid from day one — trading starts immediately at the discovered price
Why traditional launches fail
Most token distributions still run into the same problems:
Prices are set arbitrarily (often behind closed doors)
Allocations are opaque (who got in early, how much, and why?)
Liquidity is weak (proceeds don’t reliably become real liquidity)
Gavel fixes this by making the launch mechanism do the enforcing.
The core idea: Continuous Clearing Auctions (CCA)
In a CCA, participants don’t “race” to buy first.
Instead:
Token supply is released over time
Participants bid with a max price
The auction clears continuously (per block) at a single shared price
This shifts the game from speed → valuation.
How Gavel works (in 30 seconds)
You place a bid Set how much you want to commit and your max price.
Demand accumulates As more bidders join, demand stacks and the clearing price updates.
The market clears Each block ends with one clearing price. If the clearing price is ≤ your max price, you get filled — and everyone who fills pays the same price.
Liquidity from day one (Uniswap v4) When the auction ends:
allocations settle
proceeds seed Uniswap v4 liquidity automatically (or via Gavel/Clanker routing)
trading starts immediately at the discovered price
Liquidity isn’t promised — it’s enforced.
Launch modes
Gavel supports two modes, both using the same CCA engine:
1) Fair Launch (Permissionless)
Anyone can create and join
Open participation, no gatekeepers
Clean onchain price discovery + auto-liquidity
2) Curated Presale (Optional controls)
For curated launches, Gavel can add:
Allowlists
Per-wallet caps
Private bidding Without changing the core CCA mechanism.
Gasless funding (x402)
Gavel supports gasless funding via x402, so users can participate without needing native gas on the destination chain.
No wallet fragmentation. Just fund and bid.
