How Rush works
Rush turns a post on X into a token launch on Ascend, the launchpad on Elysium (Kinetiq's chain, gas in HYPE). You write the command; Rush deploys the coin, pays the gas, pins the art and replies with the links.
Overview
- Mention
@RushonElysiumwithlaunch, a$TICKERand a name. Optionally a picture, a description and options. - Rush reads the post (a strict pattern first, a language model when the strict form does not match), checks the gates below, and sends one launch transaction to Ascend's factory from its own wallet.
- Ascend creates the token (1,000,000,000 supply), opens its Uniswap v4 pool at the pair's start price with the whole supply inside, locks the liquidity, and sets up the fee configuration you chose.
- Rush replies with the coin page and the Ascend trading link, usually within a minute. The art is pinned to IPFS and shown on the coin page here; Ascend's own site attaches art only through its web app, so there the coin shows its initials.
The command
The strict form is one line; options come after the name in any order.
Examples
USDC pair, 1% fee, creator allocation paid to holders.
A dash separates the name from a description.
3% trading fee; the creator allocation buys $BURN back and burns it.
HYPE pair; the creator allocation is claimable by that wallet.
Any clear phrasing works - the model reads it when the strict form does not match.
Fee plans
Ascend splits every trading fee between the creator allocation, coin support and the protocol. The plan in your command decides what the creator allocation does. It cannot be changed after launch.
| Command | Ascend coin type | What happens to the creator allocation |
|---|---|---|
fees to holders (default) | Holder Rewards, 100% | Distributed to eligible holders in both the pair asset and the coin, under Ascend's eligibility, minimum and processing rules. |
buyback | Buyback, 100%, burn | Buys the coin in its own pool and burns what it bought, within Ascend's execution limits and price protections. |
fees to 0x… | Vanilla | Claimable by that wallet on Ascend as fees become available. Rush writes the wallet into the coin page so anyone can check it. |
Holder Rewards and Buyback coins have no recipient wallet at all; nothing from the creator allocation ever reaches Rush or the launcher. Rush takes no fee of its own and sets Ascend's builder fee to zero.
What gets deployed
Each launch is one call to Ascend's seat factory (Holder Rewards, Buyback) or escrow factory (Vanilla), pinned to the rule set and start tick in force when the command was read, so a launch cannot land under different rules than the ones you were quoted.
Trading fees
Figures below are Ascend's and are percentages of the amount traded. The base trading fee is 1%; anything you add above it goes entirely to the creator allocation. Within the base 1%, the creator share grows with the coin's market cap band.
| Market cap | Creator (at 1%) | Coin support | Protocol |
|---|---|---|---|
| under $40k | 0.35% | — | 0.65% |
| $40k – $1M | 0.50% | 0.05% | 0.45% |
| $1M – $10M | 0.55% | 0.05% | 0.40% |
| $10M – $50M | 0.60% | 0.05% | 0.35% |
| $50M+ | 0.75% | 0.05% | 0.20% |
Release. Below a $40k market cap only 10% of the total trading fee is released to the plan as trades happen (0.10% of volume at a 1% fee, 0.30% at 3%); the rest of the creator allocation is held. Held fees unlock once the coin's moving-average market cap stays above $40k for one hour within its first 14 days.
Forfeit. Held fees are forfeited to Ascend's buybacks and coin support if the coin does not reach $40k within 14 days, or goes quiet (under $5k market cap and under $1k daily volume for 7 days). Selling never forfeits. Full schedule: Ascend docs.
Who can launch
The bot replies with the reason when a gate applies. Gates exist so a handful of accounts cannot flood the feed; they do not judge the coin.
Verify a coin
Everything about a coin is on chain. On its page, open the launch transaction: it was sent by Rush's wallet to Ascend's factory and emitted a Launched event from the launchpad with the token address and pool id. The Seat (Holder Rewards / Buyback) or the Fee wallet (Vanilla) shows where the creator allocation goes.
Only coins launched through Rush are listed here. A coin with the same name or picture that is not on this site was not launched by Rush; compare the contract address.
FAQ
Do I need a wallet?
No. Rush's wallet sends the launch transaction and pays the gas. You only need a wallet if you want the fees paid to you directly (fees to 0x…) - then that wallet claims them on Ascend.
Who is the coin's creator on chain?
Ascend's factory makes an escrow contract the creator of every coin it launches; Rush's wallet is the deployer that called the factory. Your X post is linked from the coin page, and your handle is in the coin's metadata.
Can I change the fee plan later?
No. Coin type, fee rate and payout configuration are fixed at launch on Ascend. Pick them in the command.
What is the launch price?
Ascend opens every pool at the same start tick for a given pair asset, with the full 1,000,000,000 supply seeded into the pool. Rush never buys at launch, so the first trade is the first buy.
Why did my command not launch?
Either it was not a clear launch command, the ticker was missing, you launched too recently, or launching is currently limited to verified accounts. The bot replies with the reason when one of the gates applies.
Where is the picture from?
A photo attached to the command post. Without one, your X avatar is used. Names and pictures are not unique; the contract address is.
Is Rush affiliated with Ascend or Kinetiq?
No. Rush is an independent client that calls Ascend's public launch contracts on Elysium.
Disclaimers
Rush is an independent client of Ascend's public contracts and is not affiliated with Ascend, Kinetiq, Hyperliquid or X. Coins launched through Rush are created by their commanders; Rush does not vet, endorse or hold them and never buys them. Trading fee splits, release and forfeiture rules are Ascend's and can change on their side. Nothing here is financial advice. Coins can and do go to zero.
