# About Catapult Catapult is a token launchpad that uses algorithmic price action and volume-based graduation to reduce launch costs and eliminate early sell pressure. The app operates in two modes: **Catapult Turbo**, a simulated environment for initial activity, and **Catapult Hyper**, the on-chain infrastructure that handles trading and graduation. Instead of traditional fee structures, Catapult uses built-in revenue sharing to align incentives between the platform, creators, and traders. **Scope** The architecture is designed for multi-chain trading and launch infrastructure. Hyper introduces three specific shifts in token mechanics via **restructured bonding, reactivation and time windows.** These docs cover the current iteration: Turbo mechanics, volume-based graduation, and the first version of the Hyper terminal. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
