Fair launch and LP burned badges

02Fair launch: the green rocket

The token was launched on Saturn with a passkey in one transaction: 100% of the supply went into the pool and the liquidity was burned forever. No team tokens, nothing left to mint. The token page adds one line with the launch date, the KCAL it was paired with, the creator and a link to the transaction. The rocket also needs a seal: a launch earns it only once no contract can ever be attached to the token, sealed at birth (every launch made now) or later by its owner under Tools → Seal. Launches from before the seal show no rocket until their owner seals them. The rocket checks the supply, the pool and the seal, not who owns the token.

A service launch is the same promise for a Saturn service token, with the same rocket: 95% of the supply pooled against TAZ and burned, and the other 5% disclosed on the service's profile.

03LP burned: the orange flame

At least 90% of the token's liquidity, counted across every pool it trades in on v4 and v3, sits in burned pools that can never be withdrawn, and the token's supply is capped and fully minted. Any token can earn it, whoever created it. The flame shows the exact share when you hover it (or tap it on the token's page). Pools list the same fact with a small Burned tag.

The supply rule matters: if a token's owner can still mint, a burned pool protects nobody. The owner can print new tokens and sell them into the pool until its other side (KCAL, TAZ, SOUL…) is gone. Such tokens never get the flame, however much of their liquidity is burned.

04Olive stack: capped and fully minted

An olive stack, three coins right up under a bar, beside the symbol means the token has a maximum supply and all of it has been minted. Tokens since burned still count: since October 2026 a burn never makes room under a cap again and inflation payouts stay under it, so no more can ever be minted, short of a change by the chain's own governance. When some of the cap has since been burned, the words say so.

It is a fact about the supply, not a verdict on the token: prices still move, a full cap does not stop anyone selling, and it does not stop the token's owner changing its name, icon, description and link. It says nothing about who holds the supply or how deep its pools are. Hover the stack for its words, or tap it on the token's page, where the rules note under the figures says the same, and the swap page says it under the amounts when you pick such a token.

Saturn reads the cap and the supply from the chain and compares them exactly, in the token's smallest units. A token with no maximum supply (SOUL, KCAL, TAZ and many others) never shows the stack, nor does a capped token with room left, nor one Saturn has not read yet.

05Violet wax: no contract can ever be attached

A violet wax seal beside the symbol means the token is sealed: no contract can ever be attached to it, and the seal cannot be removed, short of a change by the chain's own governance. It is a fact about the token, not a verdict on it. A seal does not stop minting (only a cap that is fully minted does), a new inflation schedule or a rename, and the owner can still change the name, icon, description and link. Hover the seal for its words, or tap it on the token's page, where the rules note under the figures says the same; Creating a token explains sealing in full.

Saturn reads the seal from the token itself, its _sealed_c entry on the chain, and reads it again every hour, so a new seal can take up to an hour to show. A token Saturn has not read yet, or one with a contract attached, shows no seal.

06Thin market cap: the grey drop

A grey drop, a pool running low, takes the place of a market cap or FDV that is more than 50 times the liquidity behind the token. Price times supply can read millions for a token minted by the quadrillion against a few dollars of pool, yet no pool could pay anything near that for the supply. Hover or tap the drop to see the hidden figure, the liquidity and the ratio; on a token's page it says Thin beside it. Thin market caps sort last on the token list.

The same rule keeps such tokens from inflating Saturn's own totals: on the status page, each token's staked and earned value counts at most its liquidity. SOUL is the one exception. It is priced on outside exchanges, so its market cap is real however small its pools here are.

07Checked from the chain, not from a label

Anyone can write any label into a transaction, so a label proves nothing and earns nothing. Saturn Ops reads the launch transaction's own instructions back from the chain and checks each fact:

• The transaction succeeded, created the token and minted all of it.
• Its only other step pooled exactly the whole supply (95% for a service launch) from the creator's wallet and burned that pool. A launch that did anything more, a buy in the same transaction for example, earns no badge.
• On mainnet, a fair launch paired exactly 250,000 KCAL.
• Right now the token's supply is fixed and fully minted, so nothing is left to mint.
• Right now the pool registry says the launch pool is burned.
• The token is sealed, at birth or since.

A badge describes how a token was launched, where its liquidity sits, whether all of its supply has been minted or whether it is sealed. It says nothing about whether the token is worth buying. Prices still move, a full cap does not stop selling, a burned pool can still be thin, and a seal does not stop minting.

Why does a token I know was launched on Saturn show no rocket?

Either the checks are still running, which takes a minute or so after launch, or one of the facts above does not hold for it, or it is not sealed yet (its owner can seal it under Tools → Seal).

Can a badge disappear?

A burn cannot be undone, so the flame only goes away if new unburned liquidity pushes the share below 90%, or if more of the token can be minted. A burn takes away neither the rocket nor the olive stack: once a cap is filled, it stays filled.

Why do SOUL, KCAL and TAZ have no rocket or flame?

They were not launched on Saturn, and less than 90% of their liquidity sits in burned pools. SOUL and KCAL never show a seal either: they are the chain's own tokens. None of the three has a maximum supply, so none shows the olive stack.
