# Introduction

> VIVA on BNB Chain — create tokens, trade with protocol pools, and optionally borrow quote with a rising floor.

## What is VIVA?

**VIVA** is a **token launch and trading** experience on **BNB Smart Chain (BNB Chain)**. Anyone can launch a meme-style token; buyers and sellers settle against **that token’s protocol pool**, not a scattered order book of strangers.

Each token has **its own on-chain pool**. The pool holds **BNB or supported quote** (e.g. USDT), tracks a **floor price** designed to **only move up** under normal fee flows, and can offer **quote loans** secured by locked tokens — **no daily interest**, and **no classic liquidation auction** like many lending apps.

**Tagline:** Long live memes.\
**Product idea:** Trade the upside. Cap the downside.\
These are positioning lines, not profit guarantees — see [Security and risks](/security).

## What you can do in the app

| Area          | In plain words                                                                                   |
| ------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Create**    | Launch a new token and pool; set metadata, links, and creator fee share within on-screen bounds. |
| **Discover**  | Browse and search tokens (volume, market cap, floor, etc.).                                      |
| **Trade**     | Buy or sell with the pool quote asset; use **Borrow** / **Repay** when enabled.                  |
| **Portfolio** | Positions and activity for your wallet.                                                          |
| **Referrals** | Share your link; rewards follow live rules on the Referrals page.                                |
| **Points**    | Donations, claims, and leaderboard when enabled by deployment.                                   |

## Core ideas (short)

### Rising floor

Trade and borrow fees (and part of sell profit tax) feed **floor support**. When enough accumulates, the protocol **raises the floor** without rewriting the launch-time **trading curve anchor**.

### Borrowing without a ticking clock

Borrow **quote** with tokens locked as collateral. Health uses **floor value**, not a CEX oracle + hourly liquidator. You pay a **one-time opening fee** on new borrow — not protocol interest per day.

### One counterparty

Swaps and borrow/repay settle against **that token’s pool** — no external LP toggling the same contract mid-trade.

### Elastic supply

**Buys mint**; **sells burn**. Circulating supply moves with activity along the curve and floor rules.

## Compared with a typical AMM meme pair

| Counterparty         | Other users / LPs | Protocol pool                          |
| Built-in floor       | Usually no        | Yes — on-chain rules                   |
| Borrow on token page | Rare              | Yes                                    |
| Borrow interest      | Often yes         | **No ongoing APR** (one-time open fee) |
| Profit tax on sells  | Rare              | **5%–30% on gains only**               |
