How It Works
TokenMesa automates the entire token launch process through smart contracts and Uniswap V4 integration. What traditionally takes months of development happens in minutes through our guided interface.
The 4-Step Launch Process
1. Create or Select Your Token
Deploy a new ERC20 token or connect an existing one. Set your token's name, symbol, and total supply.
What TokenMesa handles: Token contract deployment, ERC20 standard compliance, and initial minting.
2. Deploy TokenMesa Contract
Configure your token economics:
Deflationary burn: Percentage of tokens permanently burned per transaction
Revenue vesting buyback: Decentralized revenue vesting buybacks with slippage protection
Price stabilization: Floor/ceiling controls and intelligent pool-based swaps (coming soon)
Other advanced features: Vesting schedules, revenue distribution, and extensible tokenomics
What TokenMesa handles: Smart contract deployment, parameter validation, and security checks.

3. Create Liquidity Pool
Set up your Uniswap V4 pool with USDC pairing and initial pricing.
What TokenMesa handles: Pool creation, hook integration, and initial price discovery.
4. Add Initial Liquidity
Provide your tokens and USDC to activate trading. We recommend initial liquidity equal to 10-30x your expected daily service transaction volume for smooth price discovery and minimal slippage.
Example: If you expect $200/day in service transactions, start with $2,000-$6,000 in initial liquidity ($1,000-$3,000 USDC + equivalent value in tokens).
Future improvement: With our upcoming price stabilization feature, you'll be able to bootstrap liquidity pools with less than $100, making token launches accessible to everyone.
What TokenMesa handles: Liquidity provisioning, pool activation, and automated market making.
How Payments Work (After Launch)
Once your token is live, here's how the payment flow works:
Configure Payment Settlement
Set your TokenMesa contract address as the payment recipient in your settlement layer:
x402 Protocol: Configure the TokenMesa contract as your payment destination for AI agent micropayments
Coinbase Commerce: Set the TokenMesa contract address as the recipient for crypto payment processing
Other Settlement Layers: Any payment processor that supports on-chain destinations can route to your TokenMesa contract
This ensures all revenue automatically flows into the TokenMesa ecosystem for token economics processing.
How Users Access Service
Payment Flow:
User pays (USDC or service tokens) to TokenMesa contract
Service provider's backend detects payment on-chain
Service delivered immediately to user
TokenMesa processes token economics in background (vesting, buyback, burn, distribution)
Payment Methods:
Pay with USDC: User pays USDC → Service delivered → TokenMesa vests revenue and executes revenue vesting buyback
Pay with Service Tokens: User pays service tokens → Service delivered → TokenMesa burns configured percentage and distributes remainder
Pay with Any Token (coming soon): User pays any ERC20 → Service delivered → Auto-swap to USDC → Revenue vesting buyback
Example: Services are priced in USDC. Users can buy service tokens on Uniswap or pay directly with USDC. Either way, service is delivered immediately upon payment confirmation to TokenMesa contract.
Automated Revenue Processing
All tokenomics processing happens automatically in the TokenMesa layer on withdrawal:
Burn mechanism: Configured percentage of tokens permanently destroyed per transaction
Vesting schedule: USDC revenue unlocks gradually over your configured timeframe instead of all at once, ensuring consistent buying pressure over time
Revenue vesting buyback: Vested USDC automatically buys back service tokens from the market with slippage protection
Everything runs on-chain with no manual intervention required.
Decentralized Withdrawal
Anyone can trigger withdrawals to send vested revenue to service providers:
Permissionless execution: Any address can call the withdrawal function
Automated processing: Withdrawal triggers burn mechanism and revenue vesting buyback
Direct distribution: Service providers receive service tokens at their configured recipient address
No intermediaries: Everything executes on-chain without third-party custodians
Post-Launch Token Economics Management
Service providers can manage tokenomics configurations after launch:
Management Dashboard
Access TokenMesa's dashboard for complete tokenomics visibility and control:
Real-time analytics: Track burns, buybacks, vesting progress, and revenue flow
Parameter adjustment: Update tokenomics settings as your business evolves
Transaction history: Monitor all automated revenue processing events
Community transparency: Share dashboard metrics to build trust
Dynamic Tokenomics Configuration
Modify economic parameters through the management dashboard as market conditions evolve:
Burn rate adjustments: Fine-tune deflationary mechanisms to optimize supply reduction
Vesting schedule modifications: Recalibrate revenue distribution timeframes
Buyback configuration: Adjust slippage tolerance and revenue allocation percentages
Distribution management: Update recipient addresses and allocation splits
(Optional) Lock Tokenomics for Trust
Build community confidence by making tokenomics immutable:
Voluntary locking: Service providers can permanently lock tokenomics parameters
Community assurance: Locked parameters cannot be changed, preventing rug pulls
Transparent commitment: On-chain proof that economics won't be manipulated
Flexible locking: Choose which parameters to lock and which to keep adjustable
