Risks

Written for someone deciding whether to put money in, not for someone deciding whether to be impressed.

• The launchpad is not open. Nothing on this site asks you to launch or buy anything through the launchpad yet. Any site, token or address offered to you as the AGI Launchpad today is not ours.
• Nothing has been audited. 613 Solidity tests and 564 indexer tests exist; no external audit does, and there is no bug bounty. The owner key, the launch configs, the approved quote assets, the fee recipients and this front end are separate choices on top of that, and none of them has been reviewed either. A reproducible build tells you what code will run; it does not tell you the code is right.
• Payouts wait for a sweep, and the sweep is usually ours. Fees reach the escrow when a sweep runs. The creator fee recipient can send one, but in practice the operator we run does, and if it stops nothing is paid out until a sweep runs again — the fees accumulate in the hook and are not lost. Graduation's two phases are permissionless and do not depend on us. See Operations.
• The owner is powerful. They can re-peg launch economics for future launches, approve and remove quote assets, retune the snipe tax, rotate the trusted sweep operator and the launch forwarder, redirect any launch's creator fee recipient after a 3-day notice, and release a stuck launch's swept reserves after 7 days. A compromised owner key is a serious event even though liquidity itself cannot be unlocked.
• The V1 owner can renounce; the V2 owner never can. V1 does not disable renounceOwnership, and an ownerless V1 locker can never change its protocol fee recipient or its collector whitelist again. V2 goes the other way: its ownership cannot be given up at all, only transferred, so somebody always holds the powers listed above.
• Quote assets are third-party. A quote asset that is paused, blocklists an address, becomes fee-on-transfer or starts rebasing can wedge a launch. The rescue paths exist for exactly that and they are owner-operated and time-delayed, not automatic.
• Uniswap V4 is a dependency, not a detail. Graduation, every graduated trade and every fee sweep run through the V4 PoolManager and PositionManager. The hook must also be deployed at a mined address whose bits encode its permissions; a mistake there is not recoverable by redeploying the factory.
• The snipe tax can cost you 99%. Buying in the first seconds of a launch, from a wallet the creator did not exempt, means most of the spend becomes fees. The exemption list is public — read it.
• Creators can bundle legitimately. Up to 32 wallets can clear at the untaxed price. That is visible on chain and it is not an endorsement of anyone's distribution.
• Locked liquidity is not a floor. The position can never be withdrawn, but the price can still go to almost zero. Locked LP prevents one specific rug, not loss.
• Meme tokens go to zero. Most launches on any launchpad end worthless. This one has better plumbing than most; that changes nothing about the distribution of outcomes.
• L2 risk. Robinhood Chain has its own sequencer, its own bridge and its own failure modes, none of which these contracts can mitigate.
• Irreversibility. A wrong address, a wrong chain or a wrong amount cannot be undone by anyone, including us.
