Single-Sided Pools

The next product rollout on Darklake are Single-Sided Pools: a streamlined way to launch and participate in tokens with zero initial liquidity requirements from the project creator. Inspired by mechanisms used by Pump.fun, this system allows tokens to gain traction organically through a bonding curve-based buying model, using only one asset as input.

Tokens can launch directly into a price curve without requiring any upfront liquidity seeding from the project creator. The pool generates liquidity dynamically; price adjusts automatically as users buy and sell, with early participants benefiting from lower entry points and later buyers facing higher prices. This embedded liquidity model allows tokens to gain momentum organically and reduces the barriers to launching new assets.
