### **Step 1: Meme Creation**

* **AI Tools**: Creators use Burning Meme’s advanced AI tools to design and refine their memes.
* **Submission Fee**: A small fee of **200 $Guru** is required to submit a meme for Boost Mode.

### **Step 2: Boost Stage**

The Boost Stage is the first phase of **Two-Tier Liquidity Generation** and lays the foundation for a successful memecoin launch. During a 1-hour period, community members lock their $Guru tokens into a **Boost Pool** to support the meme and contribute to its liquidity.

At the end of the Boost Stage, the total locked $Guru tokens form the basis for the next step: the **Fair First Buy**.

### **Step 3: Fair First Buy**

The **Fair First Buy** ensures a smooth transition from community contributions to open trading:

* **Initial Liquidity Creation**: All locked $Guru tokens are pooled and used to collectively purchase memecoins from the bonding curve at the lowest price.
* **Equitable Distribution**: Purchased memecoins are airdropped directly to the wallets of:
  * The **creator**, based on their share in the Boost Pool.
  * **Boosters**, proportionally based on their contributions.
* **Anti-Bot Safeguard**: This process prevents sniping bots from gaining an unfair advantage, ensuring fair initial access.

### **Step 4: Bonding Curve Trading**

Once the Fair First Buy is complete, the memecoin enters the Bonding Curve Stage:

* **Open Trading**: The memecoin becomes tradable on the bonding curve, allowing users to buy and sell freely.
* **Dynamic Pricing**: The bonding curve automatically adjusts prices based on trading activity, promoting transparent price discovery.

### **Step 5: DEX Listing & Rewards**

When the memecoin achieves a market capitalization of **$60,000**, it is automatically listed on a decentralized exchange (DEX):

* **DEX Listing**: Trading transitions from the bonding curve to a DEX, enabling greater visibility and accessibility for the memecoin.
* **DEX Launch Rewards**: Key contributors are rewarded for their roles in the memecoin’s success:
  * The **creator** receives 1% of the total memecoin supply.
  * **Boosters** share 2% of the total supply, distributed based on their contributions.
  * **Traders** who participated on the bonding curve share 3% of the total supply, based on trading volume.
