A maki.finance token doesn’t trade on maki.finance. It trades on a real DEX, from its very first block. At launch the creator picks the venue, and the token lives there forever:
  • SushiSwap is the default and the venue we work closely with on Robinhood Chain. Most Maki launches open here.
  • Uniswap v3 is available as an option at launch for creators who prefer it.
Both are canonical v3 deployments sharing the same WETH and the same 1% fee tier, so a launch opens with identical geometry either way: same opening price, same locked position, same fee economics. One launchpad, one registry, one fee ledger. Only the pool’s home differs.
The venue is frozen into the token at creation. A token lives on one DEX for its whole life; there is no migration and nothing to move.

​
Why this matters: your token is visible everywhere

Because every token is an ordinary v3 pool on a major DEX, the entire trading ecosystem can see it without anyone lifting a finger:
  • Charting and discovery platforms (GeckoTerminal, DexScreener and friends) index the pool from its first swap.
  • Aggregators and wallets that integrate SushiSwap or Uniswap can route to it.
  • Trading bots interact with it like any other v3 pool, because it is one.
There is no “on the launchpad” phase where only we can see your token. It is born public, on infrastructure every major platform already watches.

​
How trading works from second zero

Freshly created pools have one practical problem: DEX routing APIs haven’t indexed them yet, and on this chain Sushi’s router depends on exactly such an API. So the Maki app trades through MakiSwapRouter, a minimal contract that swaps native ETH against the pool directly:
  • Works the instant the pool exists, identically on both venues.
  • Stateless, ownerless, immutable. It only ever swaps against a pool it re-derived from a known factory.
  • Native ETH in and out, with your slippage limit enforced on-chain.
Once a token has broader liquidity, aggregators and DEX routers are a fine way to trade it too. MakiSwapRouter is simply the path that always works, from the first second.

​
One registry, two venues

The launchpad keeps a single on-chain registry of every token: creator, venue, pool, position, and fee split. Indexers and integrators consume one TokenCreated stream regardless of venue. The SDK resolves each token’s venue, pool, and fee locker automatically.
