The ThreeBid guide.
Everything from your first bid to token launches, claims, refunds, and where platform revenue goes.
What is ThreeBid?
ThreeBid is a launch platform where the community backs projects with ETH. Projects compete on one leaderboard during a 24-hour bidding round. At the end, up to three qualifying projects launch as tradable tokens on Robinhood Chain.
Backing is a commitment to a possible launch. If your project launches, you receive a proportional token allocation. If it does not win, you can claim an ETH refund under the round’s fee rules.
$THREE is the main platform token. ThreeBid will use 80% of platform revenue to buy back $THREE.
From bid to launch
- 01
Choose what should launch
Submit a project from its URL or back one already on the leaderboard. Review the project, token details, and amount before confirming in your wallet.
- 02
Build support during the round
Each confirmed bid adds to the project’s net backing. Projects need to reach the qualification threshold and finish within the winning ranks.
- 03
The round settles
After bidding closes, the contract fixes the winners. Successful winners receive a token and an ETH/token liquidity pool; other projects become refundable.
- 04
Collect your outcome
Open My bids with the wallet you used to back the project. Claim your tokens after launch, or collect your available ETH refund.
Submit & back a project
Use the submission field on the homepage to enter a project website, X profile, or supported post URL. Review the proposed name, ticker, image, and description. Your first confirmed bid registers the project and places it on the round’s leaderboard.
To support an existing project, open its card, choose your amount, and confirm Buy now in your wallet. You can back multiple projects and add to an existing position while the round is open. Repeated bids on one project are combined for your token allocation.
- The full bid is held in the round’s ETH escrow until its outcome is known.
- Net backing after the 1% bid fee determines ranking and launch liquidity.
- The round’s minimum bid is shown before confirmation. Keep additional ETH for gas.
- A confirmed bid cannot be reduced, moved to another project, or withdrawn during bidding.
Submitting a URL identifies the subject of a launch; it does not by itself verify ownership of, or an endorsement from, the linked project or account.
The 24-hour round
Each standard round gives the community 24 hours to back projects. The final ranking and qualification threshold determine which projects win.
From the round’s start to its end. Confirmed bids count only while the on-chain window is open.
When the bidding clock ends
No further bids are accepted. A settlement transaction finalizes the ranking, then separate launch transactions create the winning markets. Automation submits these transactions, so the countdown reaching zero and tokens becoming claimable are not necessarily simultaneous.
ThreeBid’s standard cadence is 24 hours. Each round stores its own start and end timestamps, minimum bid, threshold, and winner limit. Always follow the displayed terms for the specific round; older or specially configured rounds can have different durations.
Qualification & ranking
A project needs to clear the round’s net backing threshold and finish in a winning rank. The standard qualification target is at least $2,500 in net ETH backing when the round is created. That threshold is stored in ETH, so its displayed dollar equivalent moves with ETH’s price.
- Higher total net ETH backing ranks first.
- If totals tie, the project that reached that total in an earlier block ranks first.
- If both are in the same block, the lower candidate ID breaks the tie.
- Up to three projects can win. If only one or two qualify, only those projects launch. A round can also end with no winners.
Crossing the threshold is not a guaranteed launch: another project can move ahead before the round closes. Finalization fixes the winners.
Supply & your allocation
Each newly launched project token starts with 1 billion tokens, with 18 decimals and no additional minting function. The launch allocation is split equally:
Backers share the claim allocation in proportion to their gross ETH contributions, before the bid fee. There is no early-bid discount and no separate free creator allocation. A creator who bids receives tokens on the same basis as every other backer.
For example, if you contribute 0.1 ETH and the project finishes with 10 ETH in gross backing, you contributed 1% and can claim 5 million tokens. More backing before the close changes that percentage. Claims round down to the token’s smallest unit.
Small token amounts left over from liquidity creation are burned by the launcher, so the final total supply can be slightly below the initial 1 billion.
Launch price & locked liquidity
A successful launch pairs the project’s net ETH raise with its liquidity token allocation in a Uniswap v4 pool. The other half of the tokens remains in the core contract for backer claims. The creator does not receive the raised ETH as a cash payout.
The initial token price is approximately net ETH backing divided by 500 million tokens. With an initial supply of 1 billion, the starting fully diluted valuation (FDV) is approximately 2 × net backing. For a 10 ETH gross raise, about 9.9 ETH goes toward liquidity and the initial FDV is about 19.8 ETH. Pool rounding can leave small residual amounts.
A dedicated fee-locker contract permanently owns the liquidity position. It can collect earned trading fees, but it has no function to remove the locked principal or transfer the position. Locking liquidity does not fix the token’s market price; swaps still change the pool balances and price.
Claim your tokens
- Sign in with the same wallet you used to place the bid.
- Open My bids and find the launched project.
- Select its token claim action and confirm the transaction in your wallet.
- After confirmation, the contract transfers your allocation directly to that wallet.
Claims open only after the project’s launch succeeds. They are not automatic wallet distributions. Each wallet claims once per project, covering all of its bids on that project. The current core has no claim expiry and no vesting schedule.
You need ETH on Robinhood Chain for gas. There is no additional ThreeBid claim fee. If your wallet does not display the token after a confirmed claim, use the launched project’s token contract address to view or import it.
Refund rules
Your refund depends on how the round ends. The table below describes the current 1% bid-fee deployment; older rounds retain their original terms.
| Outcome | You receive | Available when |
|---|---|---|
| Project launches | Token allocation | Launch confirms |
| Outside winning ranks | 99% ETH refund | Round is finalized |
| Below qualification | 99% ETH refund | Round is finalized |
| Round cancelled | 100% ETH refund | Cancellation confirms |
For a 0.1 ETH contribution, an ordinary losing refund is approximately 0.099 ETH; a cancellation returns the full 0.1 ETH. The contract calculates net amounts per bid and rounds down to whole wei. Network gas is separate and is not returned.
After a project launches, your backing becomes a token allocation and cannot be exchanged for a refund through the round contract.
Collect your refund
Open My bids with your original bidding wallet, find the refundable project, and select its refund action. Check the displayed amount and confirm the wallet transaction. ETH is sent back to that same wallet after confirmation.
Refunds must be claimed; they are not pushed to wallets automatically. Each claim covers all of your bids on that project, can only be completed once, and requires network gas. The current core has no refund claim expiry. Unclaimed refundable backing stays in escrow.
Bid fees & trading fees
1% bid fee
Each bid is accounted for as 99% net backing and a deferred 1% fee. For a successful winner, the fee becomes available to ThreeBid only after launch. For an ordinary losing project, it is retained when the backer claims a refund. Cancelled rounds return the full contribution with no retained bid fee.
1% trading fee
New launch pools charge 1% on buys and sells. This is a pool swap fee, separate from pre-launch bidding and network gas. Fees earned by ThreeBid’s locked liquidity position go to its configured recipient, with no creator split. Other liquidity providers, if any, earn their own share of pool fees.
Trading fees are collected in ETH and the project token. Collection does not automatically convert token fees to ETH. Older deployed pools keep their original fee tier, including the earlier 2% pools.
$THREE buybacks & $ORY
$THREE is the main ThreeBid platform token. ThreeBid’s revenue allocation is 80% toward $THREE buybacks and 20% to $ORY. Platform revenue includes collected bid fees and the trading fees earned by ThreeBid’s locked liquidity positions, with a 1% trading fee on new launch pools.
For every 1 ETH equivalent allocated under this policy, 0.8 ETH equivalent goes toward buying back $THREE and 0.2 ETH equivalent goes to $ORY. This split applies to revenue, not to the gross amount backed or the liquidity principal.
$ORY is identified by the Solana mint above; ThreeBid’s bidding and project launches use ETH on Robinhood Chain. The $THREE page is the home for the platform-token contract address, buyback allocation, and collected revenue.
What the revenue number means
The Revenue metric on the $THREE page counts lifetime fees actually paid out by the contracts, including ETH and project tokens. It excludes uncollected fees and locked liquidity. Its USD amount values those historical collected amounts at current prices, so it can change with prices and is not a treasury balance or a measure of completed buybacks.
The contract system
Four ThreeBid contracts handle a project’s path from bid to market. Each launched project has its own token and fee locker.
- 01ThreebidEth
- The core contract holds ETH backing, records candidates and bids, maintains ranking, finalizes rounds, calls the launcher, and handles token claims and refunds. Only accrued platform fees are withdrawable by the fee recipient.
- 02ThreebidRobinhoodLauncher
- Called by its bound core contract to create the project’s token and Uniswap v4 ETH/token pool. It allocates the claim supply to the core and mints the liquidity position to a new fee locker.
- 03ThreebidLaunchToken
- The project’s ERC-20 token. It mints its initial supply once, exposes its metadata, and allows the launcher to burn its own unused token dust. There is no later supply-minting function.
- 04ThreebidFeeLocker
- Permanently holds the project’s liquidity position. Anyone can trigger fee collection, but proceeds always go to the immutable fee recipient. There is no principal withdrawal or LP-position transfer function.
The Uniswap v4 PoolManager operates pools and swaps; the PositionManager manages liquidity positions. Permit2 supports token allowances, and the Universal Router supports swap routing. New ThreeBid pools use no custom swap hook.
Addresses & verification
The following directory records the September 7, 2026 ThreeBid mainnet deployment and its Uniswap infrastructure on Robinhood Chain, chain ID 4663. Open an address to inspect its transactions and contract information.

The main platform token is the token ThreeBid will buy back with 80% of platform revenue. Its contract address is separate from the launch contracts above and the individual project tokens below.
Project tokens, pools & fee lockers
These addresses differ for every launch. Start with the launched project’s token link. The core’s WinnerLaunched event records the token address, pool ID, fee-locker address, and liquidity position ID. A Uniswap v4 pool ID is a 32-byte identifier, not a standalone contract address.
Earlier rounds
The earlier core is 0x77417181cc12Fb02C749288Ee98ed39678fecd20. Its rounds preserve their original refund and pool-fee policies. My bids uses the contract saved with each original round so a later deployment does not redirect your claim.
Permissions & settlement
The core administrator can create rounds, cancel an open round, change the registration authority, fee recipient or launcher, pause new registrations and bids, and transfer the admin role. A finalized round cannot be cancelled. Pausing bids does not disable the existing token-claim or refund functions.
The registration authority authorizes candidate registrations. Users sign their own bids, token claims, and refunds. Claims are tied to the bidding wallet; the registration signature does not authorize moving a backer’s funds.
Finalizing an ended round, launching a pending winner, and collecting locker fees are permissionless contract calls. ThreeBid’s automation performs settlement, but the contract checks the same timing and status rules for every caller.
Changing core configuration does not rewrite already deployed project tokens or fee lockers. Each existing locker keeps its fixed recipient and locked position.
Your wallet & network
Sign in using the available Google, X, or external-wallet options. Social sign-in can create an embedded Ethereum wallet through Privy when you do not already have one. Your wallet address is what connects your account to on-chain bids, tokens, and refunds.
- Fund your bidding wallet with ETH on the Robinhood network shown in the app. ETH on a different chain is a different balance.
- Keep enough ETH for the contribution plus transaction gas, and for later claims or refunds.
- Use the wallet menu to copy your address and, where supported, export your embedded wallet.
- Return with the original bidding wallet to manage a position. Signing out does not cancel bids or remove assets.
Robinhood Chain mainnet uses chain ID 4663; its testnet uses 46630. Testnet assets and transactions are separate from mainnet.
X connection & points
Connecting X is optional for bidding. A verified X connection lets eligible purchases earn 10 points per $1 backed, using gross backing before fees and excluding gas. The ETH/USD quote is recorded when the purchase is prepared; points appear after transaction verification.
Connect before preparing a purchase to earn points on it. Connecting later does not award points retroactively. Signing in with a verified X account can establish the connection automatically. One X account can be connected to one wallet at a time.
My bids shows your points and connected account. Disconnecting X keeps your wallet signed in and preserves earned points; new purchases stop earning until you reconnect. Claims and refunds do not earn extra points, and a later refund does not remove points already earned. Points do not represent a promised token allocation or airdrop.
A few quick answers
Can I withdraw before the round ends?
No. Confirmed bids stay in escrow until the outcome is determined. You can add backing while bidding is open, but you cannot cancel an individual bid.
Does the highest bidder get all the tokens?
No. Every backer of a successful project receives a share based on their gross contribution. All backers in that project receive the same final allocation rate.
Do I need to claim within 24 hours?
No. The 24-hour window is for bidding. The current core has no expiry for eligible token or refund claims.
Why does My bids still show a pending outcome?
The round may be awaiting finalization, the winning launch may be pending, or the app may be waiting for confirmed chain data. Refund eligibility follows contract status, not just the visible countdown.
Is a $THREE buyback the same as a token claim?
No. A project-token claim distributes your launch allocation. A $THREE buyback uses the platform’s allocated revenue to purchase its platform token; it does not send you an automatic payment.
