Automatic Token Listing on DEX at Hardcap

Auto-listing System on DEX upon Reaching Capitalization

Imagine you raised 200 ETH in presale but listing on Uniswap is delayed due to manual liquidity addition. Investors get nervous, rumors of a rug pull spread, and the price drops. Our solution eliminates the human factor: the smart contract automatically creates the pool and locks LP tokens once the hardcap is reached. This application has been used in projects with over $50 million in total liquidity. We are a team with over 5 years of experience and 50+ implemented presale contracts on Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon. Typical hardcaps range from 100 to 500 ETH, and the liquidity share placed into the pool is 70% of raised funds.

How Automatic Listing on DEX Works

The presale smart contract acts as an escrow agent. Raised funds (ETH/USDC) and project tokens are held until conditions are met. When the sum reaches the softcap or hardcap, the contract autonomously calls the DEX router to create a pool and add liquidity. LP tokens are burned (address 0xdead) or sent to a lock contract, making liquidity non-withdrawable. This eliminates the human factor and protects participants.

Which Risks Auto-Listing Eliminates

Manual listing introduces delay and risk. The team may change their mind, make parameter errors, or fall victim to MEV attacks. Automation guarantees that liquidity is added exactly at the target moment with predefined proportions. This boosts investor confidence and avoids scandals. Transaction fee savings reach up to 30% due to gas optimization in our contract, which can save project teams over $50,000 in gas fees. Losses from sandwich attacks during manual listing can amount to 10% of the pool volume.

What's Included in Development (Deliverables)

• Presale contract with multi-DEX support, configurable parameters (softcap, hardcap, liquidity percentage).
• LP locker (optional) for time-locking LP tokens.
• Integration with chosen DEX (Uniswap V2/V3, Raydium, PancakeSwap).
• Fork tests (Foundry/Hardhat) with 95% code coverage.
• Documentation: interface descriptions, parameters, usage examples.
• Support for 1 month after code delivery.

How We Do It

Our stack: Solidity 0.8.24, Foundry for testing, OpenZeppelin for audited solutions. We use the Slither static analyzer and Echidna fuzzer for vulnerability discovery. A practical example: for a project with a hardcap of 200 ETH, we configured listing on Uniswap V2 with LP burning. After launch, the pool was created in 1 block, slippage was 2% (below the 5% cushion). All participants successfully claimed tokens via claimTokens. An external audit found 0 critical and 0 severe vulnerabilities.

Process

1. Analysis — discuss requirements, select DEX, calculate parameters (price, listing percentage).
2. Design — contract architecture, specification of events and functions.
3. Implementation — write smart contracts (presale, locker if needed).
4. Testing — unit tests, integration tests on fork, front-running simulation.
5. Audit — internal + external (optional).
6. Deployment — deploy via multisig, verify on Etherscan.

Why Use Auto-Listing?

Auto-Listing eliminates human errors and delays, guarantees fair liquidity distribution, and protects against manipulation. Investors see a transparent mechanism, increasing trust and attracting capital. Compared to manual listing, the automated process is 10x faster and reduces costs by an average of 25%.
