Trading
How trading an instant Uniswap V3 token works on OV3.
Instant liquidity
Every OV3 token launches straight into its own Uniswap V3 pool. It is tradeable from block one — on OV3, on aggregators like GMGN, in any wallet with swap support, and on charts like Dexscreener. There is no bonding curve, no waiting period, and no migration step.
Buying & selling
Open a token page and use the swap panel to buy or sell against the pool. Under the hood you are swapping through Uniswap V3, so any router or aggregator that supports the pool can route the same trade. Set slippage to protect against price movement while your transaction confirms.
Price discovery
Price is set by the pool's reserves: buys push the price up, sells push it down. The token page shows live market cap, pool liquidity, and a chart sampled from on-chain activity. Because the market is a standard Uniswap V3 pool, the price you see on OV3 matches what shows on external explorers and aggregators.
Locked liquidity
The launch liquidity is locked forever in the OV3 LP locker — there is no withdraw function, so it cannot be pulled by anyone, including the creator. This makes the pool unruggable while keeping it permanently tradeable.
Swap fees
The pool charges a 1% swap fee on every trade. Because the liquidity position is locked (not burned), it keeps earning that fee for life. Anyone can trigger a collection; the fee is split on-chain between the creator (their chosen share, 50%–90%) and the protocol. A separate fixed protocol fee also applies — see Fees & Flywheel for the full breakdown.
