Frequently Asked Questions

What is Ava Genesis?

Ava Genesis is a no-code ERC-20 token deployment platform. You fill in a form, pay a flat fee in ETH or USDC, and your token smart contract is deployed on-chain in under 60 seconds — no Solidity knowledge required.

Which blockchains are supported?

Ava Genesis supports Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, and Polygon on mainnet. Sepolia testnet is available for free testing before you deploy to mainnet.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. Ava Genesis is fully no-code. You provide the token name, symbol, supply, and any optional features through a guided wizard. The platform handles all the smart contract deployment.

How long does deployment take?

Typically under 60 seconds once your transaction is submitted. The exact time depends on network congestion — during periods of high gas prices it may take slightly longer for the transaction to confirm.

What are the platform fees?

There are three tiers: Starter ($10 in ETH or USDC) for a standard ERC-20, Basic ($20) for a burnable token, and Premium ($50) for any advanced feature such as minting, pausing, blacklist, buy/sell tax, or max wallet. All amounts are denominated in USD but paid entirely in cryptocurrency.

Do you accept credit cards or bank transfers?

No. Ava Genesis does not accept card payments, bank transfers, or any fiat currency. All fees are paid exclusively in ETH or USDC directly on-chain from your wallet.

Are there gas fees on top of the platform fee?

Yes. Gas fees are paid separately to the blockchain network. Gas is determined by current network conditions and is not controlled by Ava Genesis. The platform fee and gas fee are two separate transactions — you will see both in your wallet.

Can I get a refund?

No. Because all payments are made on-chain in cryptocurrency, they are permanent and irreversible by design — this is a fundamental property of blockchain technology. There are no refunds, chargebacks, or reversals under any circumstances. We strongly recommend testing on Sepolia testnet (free) before deploying on mainnet.

What is the 3% platform allocation?

On the Starter tier only, 3% of your initial token supply is automatically minted to the Ava Genesis treasury wallet at deploy time. This is visible on-chain and disclosed in the token contract. Basic and Premium tiers receive 100% of their initial supply.

Can I pay in USDC instead of ETH?

Yes. You can choose to pay the platform fee in USDC. You will need to approve the USDC spend in your wallet before the deployment transaction can proceed. Gas fees must always be paid in the native token of the chain (ETH for Ethereum/Base, BNB for BNB Chain, MATIC for Polygon).

What token features are available?

Standard (Starter): basic ERC-20 with fixed supply and optional burning. Basic: adds a burnable function ($20 tier). Premium ($50): any combination of mintable (add more supply later), pausable (freeze transfers in emergencies), blacklist (block specific wallets), buy tax (0–25%), sell tax (0–25%), and max wallet (anti-whale limit).

Can I change the token parameters after deployment?

Core parameters — name, symbol, and decimals — are immutable once deployed. If your token includes mintable, pausable, or blacklist features (Premium tier), those functions are controllable by the owner wallet after deployment.

What is the maximum tax rate?

Buy and sell tax are each capped at 25% (2,500 basis points) in the smart contract. This cap is enforced on-chain and cannot be exceeded.

Is my token compatible with Uniswap and other DEXes?

Yes. All tokens deployed through Ava Genesis are standard ERC-20 compatible and work with any DEX that supports the standard interface, including Uniswap, SushiSwap, PancakeSwap, and others. If you have tax features enabled, verify DEX compatibility before adding liquidity.

Can I verify my contract on Etherscan?

Yes. Ava Genesis automatically submits all deployed contracts for verification on the relevant block explorer (Etherscan, Basescan, BscScan, or PolygonScan). Verification typically completes within a few minutes of deployment.

Are the contracts open source?

Yes. The full Solidity source code for both ERC20Token.sol and TokenFactory.sol is published on GitHub under the MIT licence. All deployed contract addresses are listed on the /contracts page with direct block explorer links.

What library are the contracts built on?

All contracts are built on OpenZeppelin 5 — the most widely used and battle-tested smart contract library in the industry. The factory uses the EIP-1167 minimal proxy (clone) pattern for gas-efficient deployments.

Have the contracts been professionally audited?

The contracts are built on OpenZeppelin's audited libraries. A formal third-party audit is on our roadmap. Until then, you can review the full source code on GitHub and inspect every deployed contract directly on the relevant block explorer.

Who controls the deployed token contract?

You do. Ownership is set to the wallet that signs the deployment transaction. Ava Genesis has no admin key, no upgrade proxy, and no ability to pause or interact with your token after deployment.

What is the MCP server?

Ava Genesis provides a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that allows AI agents — such as Claude — to deploy ERC-20 tokens autonomously. The agent calls the MCP tool, provides token parameters, and the deployment happens on-chain without human interaction.

How do I connect the MCP server to Claude?

Add the Ava Genesis MCP endpoint to your Claude Desktop or Claude Code configuration file. The full setup guide is on the /agents page. It takes under 30 seconds to connect.

Is there a REST API?

Yes. In addition to the MCP server, Ava Genesis exposes a REST API for programmatic token deployment. Full API documentation is available on the /docs page.

Is Ava Genesis responsible for the tokens I deploy?

No. Ava Genesis is a self-service infrastructure tool. You, the token creator, are solely responsible for all legal and regulatory compliance in your jurisdiction, the intended and actual use of your token, and any disclosures to your token holders.

Is creating an ERC-20 token legal?

The legality of token creation varies significantly by country and use case. Ava Genesis does not provide legal advice. You are solely responsible for ensuring your token complies with all applicable laws, including securities regulations, in your jurisdiction.

Does deploying through Ava Genesis mean my token is endorsed or vetted?

No. Ava Genesis does not vet, audit, or endorse any token deployed through the platform. Anyone can deploy any ERC-20 token. Always do your own research before interacting with any token.
