•Dividends: Optional holder rewards via @DividendsBot
•Fiat onramps: Apple Pay, Coinbase, MoonPay, Robinhood integration

Founding Team

Technical Architecture

Bonding Curve Mechanics

Bags uses Meteora Dynamic Bonding Curve (DBC):

•Pre-graduation: Token trades on bonding curve, price increases with buys
•Graduation: When SOL threshold met, token migrates to Meteora DAMM v1/v2
•Post-graduation: Token tradeable on DEX with locked LP, fees go to creator/partner
