letemcookletemcookletemcook is the fair launch kitchen on Base, where anyone launches a coin and nobody gets a head start. Free to start, the code can't rug you, holding pays, and every dial is explained in plain words. Here is exactly how it works.
Launch a coin free, only gas. Set your dials: fee, curve, locks, reward mode. Every choice is shown to buyers as a risk label and a trust score.
People buy on a bonding curve, priced in ETH, straight from the ETH in their wallet. The price climbs as the pot fills. A 10% wallet cap stops any wallet cornering it, and coins cannot leave the kitchen until they graduate — which is what stops anyone building a rogue pool and draining the raise.
When the curve fills its target, the coin graduates: liquidity moves to a real Uniswap pool and the LP is burned forever. Nobody can pull it. At that moment 3% of the raise goes to the creator and 3% to letemcook; everything else, plus the coin's own floor, becomes the pool.
Trades route through the Takeout window. Fees fuel the buyback, which buys the coin and burns it or feeds locked holders. Holding pays.
Bring people in and you earn a share of their rewards, three levels deep — but only while you are locked in the coin yourself. Nobody here is paid to shill something they can sell an hour later.
A live 0 to 100 read of how buyer-friendly a launch's dials are, on chain and impossible to fake, plus plain risk labels.
Reads the first block of real trades on every coin and calls it clean, watch it, or bundled looking, so a swallowed open is visible before you ape. It reads trades, not private wallet funding.
Conviction locks earn tier bonuses and a share of every paper hand's early-exit penalty. Diamond hands get paid by the impatient.
Tap the ? on any mechanic, anywhere, for a plain what-it-means, for the dev and for buyers. No jargon walls.
Claim a code and build a crew that binds to you on chain, three levels deep. The Brigade contract itself holds no money — it only records who brought whom. The paying comes from the coin creator's own reward pool, and only to people locked in.
Launching a coin. Free to do, you only pay gas.
The feed of every coin on the stove, from just-launched to about to plate.
A coin graduating: the curve fills, liquidity moves to a real Uniswap pool, and the LP is burned forever.
The buyback spectacle. Fees pile into each plated coin's pot, and anyone can cook the pot to buy the coin back and burn it or feed the lockers. Permissionless.
A timed competition that runs on a fixed clock — three rounds a day, eight hours each, forever. Nobody schedules them, so there are never gaps. Any coin launched during a window auto-enters, and the highest market cap when the clock hits zero wins the crown.
Locking your bag for conviction rewards: a tier bonus, a share of the penalties paid by holders who break their locks early, and eligibility for that coin's crew rewards — only wallets with an active lock earn those. Break a lock early and you forfeit any crew rewards you have not collected on that coin, which go back to the pool for the people who stayed.
The coin closest to plating, the leader about to graduate, featured at the top of the line.
Crews, on chain. Claim a code, share it, and wallets that bind join your crew permanently, three levels deep. The Brigade contract is only the record of who introduced whom — it holds no money and pays nobody. The paying happens elsewhere: if a coin's creator funded a reward pool, your crew's buys can earn you a share of it, in that coin's own tokens, and only while you hold an active lock on that coin yourself.
A dev's reputation, earned from how their past launches actually performed and how buyer-friendly they were. Shown on every coin they cook.
A 0 to 100 read of how buyer-friendly a launch's dials are, built from the dev's choices and shown right on the coin.
The people you brought and the people they brought, three levels deep. If a creator funded crew rewards, you earn from what your crew buys — but only while you are locked in that coin yourself.
While a coin is still on its curve, it can only move through the kitchen — buying, selling, claiming, locking. Wallet to wallet is closed, and so is wallet to any liquidity pool. It lifts permanently the moment the coin graduates.
A coin whose fair start closed five days ago and still has not filled. Most coins end here. Rewards become claimable rather than waiting on a graduation that is not coming, and the coin's floor is returned to it.
One transaction that sweeps everything you are owed across every coin: crew rewards, matured locks, loyalty, plating bonuses, creator fees. Anything not ready is skipped rather than failing the batch.
An anti rug read of the first block of real trades: what share of the open one or two wallets swallowed, with a clean, watch it, or bundled looking verdict. It reads the trades themselves and cannot see private wallet funding.
Memecoins are extremely volatile and most go to zero. The platform's contracts are experimental software with no warranty they are error-free or secure, and letemcook is not responsible for losses from them. Nothing here is investment advice, no coin is endorsed, and trades are final and on chain. Do your own research and never spend more than you can afford to lose.
Nothing but the network fee, usually under a cent on Base. letemcook takes no launch fee. The raise target is money buyers put in, never money you put up.
Your coin opens in a fair start window where everyone who buys pays the same price. When that window closes, the coin starts trading on a curve where the price rises as people buy. If it reaches its target, it graduates onto Uniswap and the liquidity is burned forever.
The coin hit its raise target. The money raised becomes a real Uniswap pool, and the tokens that unlock that pool are burned, so nobody can ever pull the liquidity out. From then on it trades like any other coin on Base.
It keeps trading on its curve. If it fails during the fair start window instead, the cook is closed and everyone who put money in can take it back, in full.
There is a second, earlier safety net. Every cook sets a survival floor: a minimum the fair start has to collect. Everything counts toward it, including the creator's own buy in. If the window closes below that number, the cook is called off and everyone is refunded in full — no coin ever trades. A floor of zero means there is no floor at all, so check it before you put money in.
Every trade pays 1%. The platform's share is fixed at 40% of that and can never be changed by anyone. The creator splits the rest between their own cut and the coin itself, and whatever they leave behind is spent buying the coin back. There is one other cut, and it happens once: when a coin graduates, 3% of the raise goes to the creator and 3% to letemcook before the Uniswap pool is funded. The coin's own accumulated floor is added back in, so roughly 94% of a raise becomes pool liquidity — a 1 ETH raise funds a pool of about 0.95 ETH. A creator can also pledge part of their own cut to a cause, permanently, which comes out of their share and never out of yours.
A 0 to 100 number calculated on chain from the settings a creator chose: whether they took a small fee or a large one, whether their own fees are locked up, whether holders can lock, whether bots were capped at launch. It is arithmetic, not an opinion, and nobody can pay to raise it.
You lock your tokens for 7, 30 or 90 days and earn a bonus for doing it. Anyone who breaks a lock early pays a penalty, and part of that penalty is shared with the people who stayed. Locking also does one more thing now: only locked wallets earn crew rewards on a coin, so it is the difference between earning from the people you brought and earning nothing.
Every coin uses the same verified code, with no owner, no ability to mint more, and no pause switch. Liquidity burns at graduation. And while a coin is still cooking, its tokens cannot leave the kitchen at all — not to another wallet, not into a pool — which closes the one attack that could have drained a whole raise. What a creator can still do is sell their own tokens, which is why the board shows a live flag when a creator is selling.
A curve opens at a starting price, so the whole supply already has a value before anyone buys. "Raised" is real money that went in. "Market cap" is what every token would be worth at today's price. They are different numbers and both are honest. The number is today's price times the coin's full supply, read from the token itself — so it does not jump around when people lock tokens or when a coin graduates. Only the price moving, or a buyback genuinely burning supply, moves it.
letemcook runs on Base, Coinbase's own network. Bring ETH on Base — nothing else works, and funds sent on Ethereum, Solana or any other network will not arrive. If your money is in Coinbase, sending it to Base is free and takes about a minute: choose Send, pick the Base network, and paste your wallet address. Send ETH, not USDC. Your wallet is switched to Base automatically when you connect.
A wallet on Base with some ETH. That is it — you spend the ETH in your wallet directly, with no approvals and no wrapping. You can connect a browser wallet or scan a code with a phone wallet. letemcook never holds your funds or your keys.
Claim a code on the crew page and share your link. Anyone who arrives through it is linked to you the first time they connect. When they buy a coin whose creator funded rewards, you earn a share of their reward — never a cut of their trade, so their price is exactly the same either way. It reaches three levels: whoever brought them, whoever brought that person, and one more.
Two rules matter. You only earn while you are locked in that coin, judged at the moment of each buy. And nothing pays out until the coin graduates, or until five days after its fair start if it never got there. Break your lock early and anything you have not collected on that coin goes back to the pool for the people who stayed.
The tokens come from the creator's own allocation, not from letemcook, and they stop when that creator's pool runs out.
While a coin is still cooking, it can only move through the kitchen. You can buy, sell, claim and lock as normal — but you cannot send it to another wallet or into a liquidity pool.
That exists to stop a specific theft. Without it, anyone could buy a few tokens, create the coin's Uniswap pool first at an absurd price, and let graduation pour the entire raise into their rigged pool. The lock lifts permanently the moment the coin graduates, and from then on it is an ordinary token.
One transaction sweeps the lot, across every coin: crew rewards, matured locks, the loyalty they earned, plating bonuses, and creator fees if you are a creator. Anything not ready yet is quietly skipped instead of failing the whole thing, so you never have to work out what is claimable first.
Most coins never fill their curve, so nothing is left hanging on a graduation that is not coming. Five days after the fair start closes, crew rewards become claimable anyway, and anyone can return the coin's accumulated floor to it. You can still buy and sell the whole time.
A creator's own starter lock is held to a longer standard — three months — because it is a promise to buyers rather than a reward.
A creator can hand their coin to someone else at any time. And if a graduated coin's creator goes silent for six months, someone with real skin in the game can adopt it — they have to be holding a lock worth at least 1% of the supply with two months still to run. Fees the old creator already earned stay theirs, so there is nothing to gain by staging a takeover.
A creator can name an address and a share of their own fees to send there, once, permanently. Not even a later owner can change or redirect it. The split happens as fees are earned, and anyone can push the payment through, so the recipient never has to touch a wallet interface.
The contract guarantees the money reaches that address forever. It cannot guarantee who is behind it — letemcook does not vet recipients, so judge the address like you would judge anything else.
The contracts are experimental software, offered with no warranty that they are error free or secure. Every coin uses the same verified code with no owner, no mint and no pause, and liquidity burns at graduation — but memecoins are extremely volatile and most go to zero. Never spend more than you can afford to lose.
