A reef at night, lit from below. Each coin is a lantern set loose in one transaction: priced at a fixed opening cap, its whole supply floating in a single pool position, drifting wherever the buyers push it. Lanternreef lights the water and keeps nothing.
Three things happen in one transaction, and none can be undone. A lantern on the water cannot be re-lit, re-weighted, or reeled in by the hand that released it.
The coin is created: a fixed billion supply, no owner, an address mined so the coin is the hook of its own pool.
Its Uniswap v4 pool opens against ETH at a fixed dollar capitalisation from a signed price reading that expires in minutes.
The entire supply is seated in one liquidity position from the opening tick down. Price moves only when someone swaps.
Rules that live in the coin, not on this page. Kelp holds the reef in place the same way: nobody tends it, it simply does not let go.
Placeholders so the dark has something in it. No coin on this site exists yet; the first real lantern is announced on X before it is lit.
the lantern that opened the reef
burns green, drifts slow
pale and fast, hard to hold
a warm light at the edge of the dark
The site is. The launch contracts are not published yet, and every lantern on this page is a sample, labelled as one.
Robinhood Chain, on Uniswap v4. The coin and its hook are one contract.
The creator keeps the levy on their own coin. Lanternreef keeps a fixed slice written in at birth. There is no listing fee.
The creator holds the position, like any pool on v4. We say so plainly instead of pretending a lock exists.
