🧵 AMM vs Bonding Curve — Why Bonding Curves are underrated for serious token projects,

As the founder of Mint Club, let me explain why bonding curves may be the missing primitive for sustainable token models — especially for long-term aligned projects.

1️⃣ First, let’s understand the core difference:
    •    AMM = Floating liquidity
    •    Bonding Curve = Fixed liquidity logic

In AMM (Uniswap, Aerodrome, etc.), liquidity depends on LPs adding/removing funds.
In Bonding Curve, liquidity is baked into the price curve from day one. No LPs needed.

2️⃣ AMM is great for meme coins & short-term hype

Because liquidity in AMMs can freely move based on demand, they fit speculative tokens, fast trading, and meme cycles.

But serious builders know:
Volatile liquidity = fragile ecosystems.

3️⃣ Bonding Curves = locked liquidity = trust layer

In bonding curves, liquidity can’t be pulled.

The only way liquidity exits is via burns — meaning every buy increases locked capital, every sell reduces supply.

This creates long-term price integrity.

6️⃣ This means:

✅ No splitting your community
✅ No diluting your main token
✅ Locked parent tokens = stronger scarcity
✅ New sub-ecosystem grows in parallel

You grow your ecosystem vertically, not horizontally.

7️⃣ This is exactly why bonding curves are powerful for:
    •    Sub-DAOs
    •    Community expansions
    •    Spin-off products
    •    Reputation & loyalty layers

You’re building on top of your main asset, not competing against it.

8️⃣ TLDR

AMM = hype-driven liquidity
Bonding Curve = protocol-locked liquidity

Both have a place, but serious builders looking for aligned growth should seriously consider bonding curves.

9️⃣ That’s why we built Mint Club.

Bonding curve-based token creation:
✅ No LP needed
✅ Fully on-chain
✅ Backed by your main token
✅ Community-aligned expansion

If you’re a founder, this might change how you think about your next token.

4️⃣ Now here’s where it gets interesting for founders 👀

Let’s say you’re launching a side project or new product under your main community.

You have 2 options:

A) Create a totally new token
B) Launch a child token using bonding curves backed by your main token

5️⃣ Case study: Mint Club’s MT token
    •    MT is backed by HUNT (parent token).
    •    To fully mint all MT tokens, ~50% of HUNT total supply must be locked.

Every MT minted permanently locks HUNT into the curve, strengthening both ecosystems.

Bonding curves are works of art, and I am glad to have discovered them awhile back 🤙
