How to Trade

Trading coins on CAPZ is simple — but understanding the core mechanics will help you make smarter decisions and maximize your potential returns.

What Are Coins?

Coins are SPL tokens created on Solana, each typically tied to a real creator and their community. When you buy a coin, you're essentially betting on its potential — driven by the creator's content quality, virality, community engagement, and overall market potential. Every trade generates fees that reward both the creator and traders.

The Bonding Curve

When you create a coin on CAPZ, it's deployed under Meteora's Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC) protocol, which automatically generates an AMM (Automated Market Maker) powered by a bonding curve. This mechanism ensures that the token can't be rugged or have its liquidity pulled, providing strong protection for traders.

The bonding curve manages all trading activity for both buyers and sellers through its on-chain pricing logic, keeping the token's market value accurate and transparent. As liquidity grows along the curve, you'll see a progress bar on each token — showing its completion from 0% to 100%.

What Happens at 100% Progress?

When a token's progress reaches 100%, it graduates to Meteora DAMMv2. This marks a major milestone because:

  • Liquidity becomes permanently locked on Meteora

  • Price discovery enters a more open and mature market

  • Trading volume often increases significantly

  • The token integrates fully into the broader Solana ecosystem

Slippage Control

Slippage is the difference between expected and actual trade prices. You can adjust this based on:

  • Small trades: 1-3% slippage usually works

  • Large trades: May need 5-10% slippage

  • Low liquidity tokens: Higher slippage required

  • High volume periods: Lower slippage possible
