Playbook

Hooks, honestly.

Each hook is a creative label for a real mechanic. Only hooks marked Selectable can be chosen in the studio. Everything else is research, not a promise.

Profiles

The Dreamer

Implemented preset

Look: soft halo glow, pearl-lilac satin turtleneck, dreamy diffused light

Spot · broad · scheduled reveal. Uniform liquidity across a wide range; opening set to a future time.

The Architect

Implemented preset

Look: precise white seams and grid stitching on black tailoring, crisp edge light

Curve · tight step · narrow. Tighter range needs more maintenance if price leaves it.

The Wildcard

Implemented preset

Look: reflective chrome jacket with lilac flashes, dynamic angled pose

BidAsk · wide step. Edge-heavy liquidity and big price steps.

The Connector

Partly research

Look: interlaced fine silver strands woven into the collar, warm rim light

Spot · broad · (Open Circle later). Open Circle presale available on devnet.

The Guardian

Implemented preset

Look: structured dark tailored coat with high collar, steady frontal light

Curve · balanced · 90-day LP lock. Locks your starting liquidity for 90 days. A lock is not a 'safe token'.

The Alchemist

Partly research

Look: iridescent shimmering fabric texture, small oil-slick earring

Custom weights (research). Custom weight design and fee reinvestment are research.

Hook library

Steady — Spot

DLMM nativeSelectableLiquidity shape

Mechanic: Initial position deposits uniform liquidity across every bin in range.
Tradeoff: Even depth everywhere; less depth at the opening price than Curve.
Restrictions: Shapes only the creator's initial position. Other LPs can add any shape later.

Source

Focused — Curve

DLMM nativeSelectableLiquidity shape

Mechanic: Bell-shaped weights concentrated around the active bin.
Tradeoff: Deep near the start price, thin at range edges; needs more active management if price moves.
Restrictions: Initial position only.

Source

Wild — BidAsk

DLMM nativeSelectableLiquidity shape

Mechanic: Inverse curve: more liquidity at the range edges, less at the centre.
Tradeoff: Captures volatility at edges; thin near the opening price so early trades move price more.
Restrictions: Initial position only.

Source

Custom bin weights

DLMM nativeResearchLiquidity shape

Mechanic: addLiquidityByWeight lets you set arbitrary per-bin weights.
Tradeoff: Full control, more room for mistakes.
Restrictions: Research: not exposed in the wizard yet.

Source

Pace — bin step

DLMM nativeSelectablePricing

Mechanic: Each bin's price is (1 + binStep/10000) × the previous bin's. 10–100 bps choices.
Tradeoff: Smaller steps give finer pricing but more bins (and rent) for the same range.
Restrictions: Fixed at pool creation.

Source

Reach — bin range

DLMM nativeSelectablePricing

Mechanic: Narrow 21 / balanced 45 / wide 69 bins around the start price.
Tradeoff: Wider ranges cover more price movement but spread depth thinner.
Restrictions: Capped at 69 bins (one position, one transaction). Positions can be up to 1,400 bins via chunked resize, which PeoplePad does not run.

Source

Fee baseline

DLMM nativeSelectableFees

Mechanic: Base fee 25/50/100 bps converted to base factor (feeBps × 10000 / binStep).
Tradeoff: Higher fees earn more per trade but discourage volume.
Restrictions: Total fee also includes the on-chain variable fee, which depends on volatility parameters the pool inherits. The token page reads both from chain.

Source

Fee currency

DLMM nativeSelectableFees

Mechanic: InputOnly charges in whichever token is sold. OnlyY charges in token Y.
Tradeoff: OnlyY gives fees in SOL, but only when SOL is the on-chain Y.
Restrictions: Mints sort canonically; PeoplePad only offers OnlyY when SOL sorts as Y.

Source

Opening time

DLMM nativeSelectableLaunch

Mechanic: Timestamp activation type with an activation point; swaps are rejected before it.
Tradeoff: Scheduled reveals build anticipation; liquidity sits idle until then.
Restrictions: Must be at least 5 minutes ahead and within 90 days (PeoplePad limit).

Source

Two-sided seed

DLMM nativeSelectableLaunch

Mechanic: Deposit both token and SOL so buys and sells both have liquidity from the first block.
Tradeoff: Costs SOL up front; one-sided token-only seeding means sellers find no SOL until someone buys.
Restrictions: Default in PeoplePad.

Source

Liquidity commitment (position lock)

DLMM nativeSelectableLaunch

Mechanic: Positions created via initializePositionByOperator carry an on-chain lockReleasePoint.
Tradeoff: Shows commitment, but locks your own capital and doesn't make a token 'safe'.
Restrictions: Selectable in PeoplePad: your wallet is owner, operator and fee owner, and the position gets an on-chain lockReleasePoint (unix time). Adds one extra signed transaction. Until release you can claim fees but cannot remove liquidity. The lock cannot be shortened. Your wallet simulates each transaction before you sign; if Meteora's program rejects it, nothing is sent.

Source

Dynamic (variable) fee

DLMM nativeResearchFees

Mechanic: Volatility accumulator raises fees during fast moves.
Tradeoff: Protects LPs in volatility.
Restrictions: Parameters come from the program and preset; PeoplePad reads and shows them but has no switch for them.

Source

Liquidity mining rewards

DLMM nativeResearchIncentives

Mechanic: Up to two funded reward tokens per pool, claimable by LPs.
Tradeoff: Attracts LPs; costs reward tokens.
Restrictions: Pools use either limit orders or liquidity mining, not both. PeoplePad uses the LimitOrder mode.

Source

Transfer fee (Token-2022)

Token extensionResearchToken

Mechanic: A capped percentage on every transfer.
Tradeoff: Applies to all transfers, not just sells. It isn't a selective sell tax.
Restrictions: PeoplePad defaults to no transfer tax.

Source

Transfer hook

Needs Meteora reviewResearchToken

Mechanic: Custom program runs on each transfer (caps, cooldowns, gating).
Tradeoff: Powerful, but adds risk and complexity.
Restrictions: Needs a Meteora token badge. Permissionless only if the hook program and authority are revoked. Checks inside the app can't enforce rules on third-party swaps.

Source

Token-2022 with freeze authority

Needs Meteora reviewResearchToken

Mechanic: Issuer can freeze accounts.
Tradeoff: Control at the cost of holder trust.
Restrictions: Needs review. PeoplePad revokes freeze authority by default.

Source

Open Circle — Alpha Vault Pro Rata

Additional programSelectablePre-launch

Mechanic: Deposits are allocated proportionally; unused quote is refunded.
Tradeoff: Allocation follows capital, not one person one vote. Permissionless Pro Rata has no effective individual cap.
Restrictions: Devnet only until verified. Needs a scheduled opening; the vault is created in the launch and anyone can run the fill from the presale page after deposits close.

Source

Early Bird — Alpha Vault FCFS

Additional programSelectablePre-launch

Mechanic: First-come deposits up to caps.
Tradeoff: No ordinary withdrawals before launch. Wallet caps aren't Sybil resistance.
Restrictions: Devnet only until verified. Needs a scheduled opening; created in the launch, filled from the presale page. LP lock is not token vesting.

Source

Inner Circle — Merkle allowlist

Additional programResearchPre-launch

Mechanic: Only allowlisted wallets can deposit.
Tradeoff: Curated access; more operational work.
Restrictions: Separate vault deployment.

Source

Giver / Co-creators / Community pot

Additional programResearchFee sharing

Mechanic: Route claimed LP fees to recipients.
Tradeoff: Needs a funded, verified distribution program or keeper.
Restrictions: Meteora Dynamic Fee Sharing supports 2–5 recipients and integrates with DAMM v2/DBC, not DLMM directly. Claiming DLMM fees manually and passing them on isn't an automatic royalty.

Source

Buyback / burn rituals

Additional programResearchFee sharing

Mechanic: Use fees to buy and burn the token.
Tradeoff: Needs a keeper and transparent accounting.
Restrictions: Not native to DLMM.

Source

Bonding curve + graduation

Additional programResearchOther engines

Mechanic: Meteora DBC is a separate launch engine whose new configs migrate to DAMM v2.
Tradeoff: Different product.
Restrictions: Deliberately not used: PeoplePad is a direct DLMM launch with no graduation bar.

Source

Chapters — cosmetic updates

Creative layerResearchCreative

Mechanic: New portrait chapters added to your token's page.
Tradeoff: Purely cosmetic; no financial effect.
Restrictions: Proposal.

Key facts: DLMM positions are accounts, not burnable LP tokens. Fees don't auto-compound. Zero slippage only holds within a single bin. Liquidity mining and limit orders are mutually exclusive pool modes. Sources were checked on 5 October 2026.
