The deployer of record

You know who
deployed it.

And what we hold. And what we've sold. Every KNOWN coin launches with its full record public, from block one.

We create the coins, launch them under rules we publish, and keep the record: our holdings, our sales, the terms of every launch. One company, one wallet.

The deployment

Deployed in the open.
Rules that don't move.

This doesn't mean a KNOWN coin can't go to zero. Plenty will. It means that if one does, it went there on its own, not because someone was selling into you from a wallet you couldn't see.

There is no hidden allocation waiting behind the launch. Our own position is the disclosed one, and nothing else.
We don't buy our own launch through a cluster of fresh wallets in the first block. The open market at launch is the open market.
Nobody gets tokens before you can. There is no private round, no friends list, no pre-send.
Each deployment gets a public registry entry: what we hold, what we've sold, and the terms it launched under. If a coin isn't in the registry, we didn't deploy it.
No hidden economics

We're paid two ways.

No promises

What a fair launch is not.

A fair launch is a fair start, not a floor and not a forecast. There is no backstop behind a KNOWN coin: any floor you think you see is other buyers, not us. Snipers exist, early sellers exist, and no deployment method removes them.

Never buy a token because KNOWN deployed it. The mark tells you who launched a coin and what we were paid, nothing more. The judgment is yours.

The reasoning, in full
Before you buy anything

Do the work on every single coin.

1Check the top holders

Concentration is the risk, whoever deployed it. A few wallets with enough supply can take the price apart at will.

  • Open the holder list on any explorer.
  • Add up the top ten, minus the liquidity pool.
  • The bigger that number, the fewer people the price belongs to.

2Run the bubble maps

A spread-out holder list can still be one person. On a bubble map, linked wallets give themselves away as clusters.

  • Look for clusters of connected wallets.
  • Many wallets funded from one source is one holder.
  • Same-block buys are coordination, not community.

3Size to what you can lose

Assume zero is a real outcome, because it often is. Our coins included. There is no backstop.

  • Pick a size where losing it all changes nothing.
  • Set it before you enter, not mid trade.
  • No story, ours included, is a reason to break it.

Every coin is a CTO
from day one.

The tokens that last are the ones people carry themselves. Our job is to hand you the keys at the start, not make you take them back after a rug.
