01Migration
Planning for graduation
What the migration step changes mechanically, what has to be ready before it happens, and why the plan should never assume it will.
Open the entryAfter graduation: the week the work changes shape
Graduation is a mechanical event with an operational aftermath. If a curve reaches the launchpad completion condition, the platform moves the collected reserve and the remaining supply into an automated market maker pool, and from that point price comes from pool reserves rather than from a curve formula. Charts change, routing changes, and the list of things that can go wrong changes with them.
Both entries here are written on the assumption that graduation might not happen. A plan that only works after migration is not a plan.
- Phase
- Four of four. Begins at migration, if migration happens at all.
- Changes
- Price source, slippage behaviour, routing, liquidity, monitoring surface.
- Owns
- Migration readiness, the pool checks, week-one rhythm, liquidity policy.
- Not assumed
- That any curve completes. Platform thresholds and fees are set by the platform.
2 entries in this phase
What changes when a curve closes and an AMM pool opens: liquidity mechanics, the handover in your own operations, and a week-one plan that does not depend on the market cooperating.
02Week one
The week after migration
A seven-day operating plan for a token that now trades in a pool: liquidity questions, reporting rhythm, and the difference between quiet and dead.
Open the entryWhere this phase sits
Nothing in this phase is reachable without the two before it, and the readiness that makes migration uneventful is written down during preparation rather than improvised on the day.
PHASE 01 Preparation Everything that has to be finished, agreed and written down before the mint transaction is signed: metadata, wallet policy, communications, budget and the checklist that ties them together. PHASE 02 Launch day The hours where a launch is decided in public: the running order, who does what, how the curve responds to early buying, what a budget covers, and how to behave when the room goes quiet.
