# Overview

## How Thunderhood works

Thunderhood operates on the NEAR blockchain as a fully permissionless platform, eliminating the need for trusted intermediaries. It emphasizes decentralization and censorship resistance, allowing anyone to trade or create tokens freely.

### Token Launch Set-up

Thunderhood provides a platform for users to create their own token with their own information including Name, Symbol, Token icon, Supply, Initial Liquidity, Social Media link, Sell Tax, Vesting, Swap fee. All these steps only take you under 1 min to create your token.&#x20;

### Swap + Auto Route

Inspired by Uniswap v2, **Thunderhood Swap functions** as an automated liquidity protocol, driven by:

* Swap function: x \* y = k
  * Uniswap v2 Whitepaper: <https://uniswap.org/whitepaper.pdf>

**Auto Router** is the future feature that identifies the best prices for traders on Thunderhood by potentially splitting trades across $NEAR LP provided by us simultaneously.

### LP Locked

LP Lock ensures a secure trading environment, meaning that once creators add initial liquidity to their token, they no longer have access to the liquidity pool, enhancing trust and safety. The initial liquidity will be permanently locked in the trading pool and cannot be withdrawn.&#x20;

### Fees

#### Trading fee:&#x20;

Trading fee on the Thunderhood platform is set at 0.6% per swap transaction, in addition to any network fees and other applicable taxes (such as farm/sell taxes). These fees contribute to enhancing and maintaining the Thunderhood infrastructure.

#### Generation fee

Generation fee on the Thunderhood platform is set at 0.6% per token created, in addition to any network fees and other applicable taxes (such as farm/sell taxes). These fees contribute to enhancing and maintaining the Thunderhood infrastructure.&#x20;
