# Comparison

> VIVA vs typical meme launches — high level, not a full competitor matrix.

## One-line contrast

**Many launchpads** = curve or external AMM, trade with **whoever is there**, often **no protocol floor**, borrow **elsewhere or never**.

**VIVA** = **one pool per token**, trade with the **protocol**, **floor + curve pricing**, **optional quote borrow on the Trade page**, **no borrow APR**, **profit tax on sells**, **same-block sell guard**.

## Table (simplified)

| Topic                       | Typical meme + external AMM | VIVA (user view)                                 |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| Counterparty                | Other traders / LPs         | **Protocol pool**                                |
| Built-in floor              | Usually no                  | **Yes**                                          |
| Borrow beside trade         | Rare                        | **Yes**                                          |
| Interest over time          | Common                      | **Not** on borrow (3% open fee)                  |
| Tax on profitable sells     | Uncommon                    | **5%–30% on gain**                               |
| Classic liquidation auction | Common on leverage          | **Different** — [Borrowing](/concepts/borrowing) |

## Ecosystem

VIVA targets **BNB Chain** with **BNB or USDT** pools per deployment. Other chains differ — do not assume identical rules.

## DYOR

Different architecture ≠ safe investment. Meme tokens stay **high risk**.
