About Boardwalk

Boardwalk is a permissionless onchain protocol for launching and participating in token markets. Issuers create a launch, define its rules up front, and auction a new token under visible mechanics. If the auction reaches its graduation threshold, the raised asset pairs with the token supply to seed permanently locked liquidity, and the token moves into a live market. If the threshold isn't met, contributors can claim a full refund.

The protocol runs launches end-to-end in one place: auction, liquidity seeding, LP participation, fee routing, and governance. Issuers choose between two launch paths — Express, a 24-hour auction with streamlined defaults, and Advanced, a 7-day auction with configurable vesting, multiple fee recipients, and an optional referrer.

Tokens launched through Boardwalk include fee protections at the token level. The fee is embedded directly in the token contract, so it applies to onchain movement across any venue where the token trades — not just a single app. Once the launch is live, core fee percentages are fixed by protocol design.

Boardwalk is also where the people who support a launch over time come together. Café Boardwalk, a public web forum tied to every launch on the protocol, gives contributors, issuers, and third-party supporters — liquidity providers, growth contributors, security reviewers, treasury-management services, and public-good contributors — a built-in space to ask questions, post updates, and coordinate. The Café is a discussion surface, not an onchain mechanism: participation there does not change launch rules, fee routing, vesting, or governance weight.

BMX is Boardwalk's non-inflationary protocol token. Staking BMX creates an active governance role: each weekly epoch, stakers vote on how a designated share of protocol fees should be routed. Voting is winner-take-all across four options — BMX Buy & Burn, Route to Treasury, Perma-Lock BMX/WETH liquidity, and Route to BMX Stakers — with votes in one epoch directing the fees collected in the next. BMX is also used as a one-way cost for community signaling (Upvote and Downvote) and for certain launch-creation actions; burned BMX is permanently removed from supply.
Boardwalk is initially being deployed across Ethereum, Base, Fraxtal, and Katana.
