Graduation
Graduation is BASTION's on-chain milestone of survival. A token graduates when its price crosses roughly 15 ETH market cap — ten times its launch valuation.
What graduation is
- ·A permanent on-chain flag plus an event, triggered by anyone once the price threshold is crossed.
- ·A visible badge across BASTION: graduated tokens rank first in the Graduated sort and wear the badge everywhere.
- ·The qualifying bar for future holder-reward programs.
What graduation is NOT
- ·Not a liquidity migration. On bonding-curve launchpads, "graduation" is the risky moment liquidity moves to a DEX. On BASTION the liquidity has been on Uniswap V3 since block one — graduation moves nothing.
- ·Not a fee change, not an unlock, not a permission change. Purely a milestone.
Because the threshold check reads the pool's own price, graduation cannot be faked with metadata — the only way to graduate is for the market to actually price the token there.
