What Does Bonding Curve Complete Mean?
The graduation ceremony for a new Solana token.
On Solana launchpads like Spawned, new tokens typically start their life on a bonding curve. This is an automated market maker formula that sets the token's initial price based on buy pressure and total supply. The goal is to build a foundational treasury of liquidity.
'Bonding curve complete' is the event triggered when a predefined liquidity target—often $50,000 to $100,000 worth of SOL—is raised. This milestone is not the end of the journey, but a critical graduation. It automatically stops the bonding curve minting process, locks the raised liquidity into a pool, and lists the token on a decentralized exchange (DEX) like Raydium or Orca. For token creators, it's a sign of successful initial validation. For holders, it marks the beginning of open, permissionless trading on the broader Solana DeFi ecosystem.

Frequently Asked Questions
Your tokens remain in your wallet. The key change is that they are now freely tradable on a DEX. The bonding curve contract stops minting new tokens, and the price is now determined by the open market on the DEX liquidity pool, not by the curve's formula.
No. Completing the bonding curve is a significant validation of initial interest, but it does not guarantee future price action. Once listed on a DEX, the token is subject to open market forces, volatility, and broader project execution. Always conduct your own research.
