choose your tier - waifu.fun

every launch on waifu.fun picks one of four tiers. the tier is fixed at createLaunch() and cannot be changed. tier math lives in the contract (LaunchFactory.tierBudget, delegating to the TierMath library) as a pure function, not a config table.

the tiers

tier (display)	contract enum	presale cap	curve fill (`quoteAmt`)	PCS follow-up buy (`v2BuyBnb`)	vesting
SMOL	TIER_80	16 BNB	16 BNB	0 BNB	off
BASED	TIER_90	32 BNB	calibrated (~17 BNB)	cap minus quoteAmt	on
WAGMI	TIER_95	64 BNB	calibrated (~17 BNB)	cap minus quoteAmt	on
GIGACHAD	TIER_98	160 BNB	calibrated (~17 BNB)	cap minus quoteAmt	on

what each column means

presale cap is the maximum BNB the vault will accept before deposits get rejected. once the cap is hit, the window can close and the bundle bot can execute.
curve fill (quoteAmt) is how much BNB the bundle pays to FLAP’s newTokenV6. it is dynamically calibrated against the buy tax rate so the effective curve fill (after FLAP’s 1% protocol fee and the configured buyTax) stays at or above 16 BNB plus a 1% safety margin. with default 3% buy tax this works out to ~16.84 BNB. SMOL is the exception, it spends exactly 16 BNB on the curve and does not graduate.
PCS follow-up buy (v2BuyBnb) is BNB the bundle spends on the freshly-deployed PCS pair in the same atomic transaction. it equals presaleCap minus quoteAmt so the full cap is spent and no BNB strands in the vault. zero for SMOL.
vesting controls how claimers receive their tokens. see vesting explained.

SMOL: curve only

SMOL (TIER_80) mints the token and fills the bonding curve. it does not graduate to PCS v2. the token sits at FLAP’s Tradable status until organic buyers push it past the four-fifths threshold (which would auto-graduate it). presalers get a flat 200M tokens (20% of supply) split pro-rata, same as every other tier. choose this when:

you want a lower-stakes launch
you do not want to commit BNB to seeding v2 liquidity
you trust organic demand to graduate the token

caveats:

no PCS pair at launch, so no immediate price discovery on a public AMM
vesting is off, all tokens unlock at claim
the token may sit on the curve indefinitely if it never graduates

BASED: standard

BASED (TIER_90) is the typical mid-size launch. the bundle fills the curve, graduates to PCS v2, and follow-up-buys 12 BNB worth of tokens for presalers. vesting is on (50% at TGE, 50% linear over 24 hours). choose this when:

you have a community that can fill 32 BNB
you want a PCS pair from day one
you want vesting to dampen early dump pressure

WAGMI: bigger raise, more buy pressure

WAGMI (TIER_95) doubles the cap and quadruples the follow-up buy. same graduation mechanics, same vesting, more buying pressure into the freshly-deployed pair. choose this when:

64 BNB is in your community’s reach
you want a stronger price action moment at launch

GIGACHAD: max tier

GIGACHAD (TIER_98) is the big one. 160 BNB cap, 140 BNB into the PCS pair in the same transaction. this produces the largest immediate buy pressure available on the platform. choose this when:

you have a serious community and serious demand
you can stomach an under-subscribed refund if the cap does not fill

how to pick

set the tier where you are at least 80% confident the cap will fill before the close window. an under-subscribed launch is not a disaster (presalers get a bonus on refund), but it is a non-event for your token. better to ship a BASED that fills than aim at GIGACHAD and refund.

tier math is in the contract

// from TierMath.sol (called by LaunchFactory.tierBudget)
function tierBudget(uint8 tier, uint16 buyTaxBps)
    internal
    pure
    returns (uint256 presaleCapBnb, uint256 quoteAmt, uint256 v2BuyBnb, bool vestingEnabled)
{
    if (tier == 0) return (16 ether, 16 ether, 0, false); // TIER_80 (SMOL)
    if (tier == 1) presaleCapBnb = 32 ether;              // TIER_90 (BASED)
    else if (tier == 2) presaleCapBnb = 64 ether;         // TIER_95 (WAGMI)
    else if (tier == 3) presaleCapBnb = 160 ether;        // TIER_98 (GIGACHAD)
    vestingEnabled = true;
    quoteAmt = calibratedQuoteAmt(buyTaxBps);             // ~17 BNB at 3% buyTax
    v2BuyBnb = presaleCapBnb - quoteAmt;
}

there is no admin function to change these. if waifu.fun wants new tiers we deploy a new factory.

treasury LP ladder

every graduating tier also configures a four-step single-sided PCS V3 LP ladder via TreasuryLP5. the 100M tokens (10% of supply) sent to the treasury get progressively deployed as four overlapping infinity-range V3 positions as the token’s TWAP market cap rises through tier targets:

launch tier	tier 0 entry	tier 1 entry	tier 2 entry	tier 3 entry
SMOL	$250k	$1M	$5M	$25M
BASED	$1M	$5M	$10M	$25M
WAGMI	$5M	$10M	$25M	$100M
GIGACHAD	$10M	$25M	$100M	$1B

those MC values are USD targets; the contract uses a Chainlink BNB/USD feed plus a TWAP from the FLAP V2 pair to gate tier deployment. see after launch for what happens to the BNB collected by those LPs.
