Glossary

Technical terminology and definitions for RevvFi.

A

Approval Threshold

The percentage of voting shares required to approve a governance proposal. Different proposals have different thresholds:

Treasury: 60%
Strategic Reserve: 66%
Emergency: 80%

AMM (Automated Market Maker)

Decentralized exchange mechanism using liquidity pools. RevvFi uses Uniswap V2’s AMM for token trading.

B

Bootstrapper

See RevvFiBootstrapper

Bounty

See Launch Incentive

C

Cliff Duration

The period during which no tokens are released to the creator. After cliff expires, linear vesting begins. Example: 1-year cliff means creator receives nothing for 12 months.

Creator Vesting

The schedule by which creator tokens unlock after launch. Includes cliff (locked period) and vesting (linear release).

CreatorVestingVault

Smart contract holding creator’s allocated tokens with cliff + linear release schedule protection.

D

Deposit Window

The time period during which LPs can deposit ETH into a launch. Closes at raiseEndTime.

DEX

Decentralized Exchange. RevvFi uses Uniswap V2 as its primary DEX.

E

ERC20

Ethereum standard for fungible tokens. RevvFi tokens follow ERC20 standard.

F

Failing Launch

A launch where total deposited ETH never reaches the targetLiquidityETH before raiseEndTime. Failed launches allow refunds.

Fungible

Interchangeable. ERC20 tokens are fungible (each token is identical).

G

Governance

System for collective decision-making by LPs. Uses share-based voting (no separate token).

Guardian Multisig

Multi-signature wallet that can emergency-pause launches but cannot access funds.

H

Hard Cap

Maximum total ETH accepted in a launch. If set to 0, no maximum (soft cap only).

Headroom

The remaining capital available before hard cap is reached.

L

Launch

The execution of bootstrapper.launch() when:

totalDepositedETH >= targetLiquidityETH
block.timestamp > raiseEndTime
Called by anyone (permissionless, incentivized with 0.01 ETH)

Launch Fee

0.1 ETH paid by creator to deploy a new launch. Non-refundable even if launch fails.

Launch Incentive

0.01 ETH reward to the address that calls launch(). Covers caller’s gas costs.

Lock Duration

Period in seconds that LPs must wait after launch before withdrawing. Set by creator, ranges 30-730 days.

Liquidity Pool

Pool of tokens + ETH on Uniswap V2 used for trading. RevvFi creates dedicated pools per token.

LP (Liquidity Provider)

User who deposits ETH into a RevvFi launch. Receives shares and governance voting rights.

LP Token (Uniswap)

ERC20 token representing a share of a Uniswap V2 liquidity pool. Held by RevvFiBootstrapper, not distributed to LPs.

M

Maturity Time

Timestamp when LPs can begin withdrawals. Formula: maturityTime = raiseEndTime + lockDuration

Multisig

Multi-signature wallet requiring multiple authorized signers to execute transactions.

N

Non-Transferable

Property of RevvFi shares: shares cannot be transferred between addresses. Can only be minted on deposit, burned on withdrawal.

---## O

Oracle

On-chain system that provides external data. PopularityOracle calculates popularity scores for launches.

P

Pair

Uniswap V2 trading pair (e.g., REVV/WETH) that enables token trading.

Per-Token Contract Isolation

RevvFi architectural principle: each launch gets independent contracts (bootstrapper, vaults) to prevent cross-launch interference.

Popularity Score

0-100 metric calculated by PopularityOracle based on:

Deposit velocity (30%)
Unique depositors (25%)
Social verification (20%)
Creator reputation (15%)
Time to target (10%)

Proposal

Governance action proposed by an LP. Types: Treasury Release, Strategic Release, Lock Reduction, Emergency.

Proposer

LP who creates a governance proposal.

R

Raise End Time

Timestamp when deposit window closes. Set to: block.timestamp + raiseWindowDuration

Raise Window Duration

Duration in seconds that deposit window stays open.

Refund

Return of deposited ETH to LP if launch fails. Proportional to LP’s share balance.

RevvFiBootstrapper

Primary smart contract per launch. Orchestrates deposits, launch, refunds, and withdrawals.

RevvFiFactory

Main factory contract. Deploys new launch instances and maintains registry.

RevvFiGovernance

Governance contract managing LP voting on proposals.

Rug Pull

Malicious action where creator drains funds illegally. RevvFi prevents via:

Non-transferable shares
Treasury controls
Vesting cliff/locks
Creator isolation

S

Internal accounting unit representing LP’s stake. Minted 1:1 with ETH deposited. Non-transferable.

Mapping shares[address => uint256] tracking each LP’s share balance. Serves as governance instrument.

Slippage

Price movement during token swap. RevvFi uses 1% slippage tolerance on Uniswap interactions.

Soft Cap

Minimum ETH required to launch (targetLiquidityETH). If not met, launch fails and LPs can refund.

Staking

Locking tokens to earn rewards. RevvFi uses shares instead (no separate staking mechanism in v1).

Strategic Reserve Vault

Vault holding strategically reserved tokens with strict governance controls:

66% approval threshold
14-day timelock
Max 25% per quarter

T

Target Liquidity ETH

Minimum ETH required to execute launch. If target not reached by raiseEndTime, launch fails.

Template

Token template used to deploy new ERC20s. RevvFi templates include Community, Utility, Meme types.

Threshold

See Approval Threshold

Timelock

Delay period between proposal approval and execution. Allows LPs to exit if disagreeing:

Treasury: 7 days
Strategic: 14 days
Emergency: 48 hours

Total Shares

Sum of all shares minted across all LPs: totalShares = sum(shares[lp])

Total Supply

Total tokens minted per launch. Sum of:

Liquidity Allocation
Creator Vesting
Treasury
Strategic Reserve
Rewards

Transfer Pause

Function preventing token transfers during emergency. RevvFi tokens don’t include this (unnecessary).

Treasury Vault

LP-controlled vault holding treasury tokens. Uses 60% approval + 7-day timelock.

U

Uniswap V2

DEX version 2 used for RevvFi liquidity. Provides AMM mechanics, routing, and LP token generation.

Unique Depositors

Count of distinct addresses that deposited in a launch. Used in popularity score calculation.

V

Vault

Smart contract holding tokens with restricted access. RevvFi has 4 vault types per launch:

CreatorVestingVault
TreasuryVault
StrategicReserveVault
RewardsDistributor

Vesting

Schedule of token release over time. RevvFi uses:

Cliff: no release for period (e.g., 1 year)
Linear: gradual release afterward (e.g., 2 years)

Voting Power

Share balance of an LP, used to weight their votes in governance. Direct 1:1 relationship.

W

WETH

Wrapped Ethereum. ERC20 token representing 1 ETH. Used for Uniswap V2 pairs.

Withdrawal

LP action to close position and receive assets after maturityTime. Options:

withdrawAsAssets: Receive ETH + tokens
withdrawAsETH: Receive only ETH (tokens auto-swapped)

X

No RevvFi-specific X terms.

Y

No RevvFi-specific Y terms.

Z

No RevvFi-specific Z terms.
