Elixir
Token launch and trading infrastructure on Base - deploy, trade, and earn.
//What is Elixir
Elixir is the onchain layer of the Machima ecosystem. It is a token launch and trading platform on Base where startup founders, content creators, artists, inventors, and onchain developers deploy tokens with permanent liquidity, traders buy and sell with real-time charts and data, and autonomous agents operate programmatically through a dedicated API.
Every token launched on Elixir gets a live trading pool, locked liquidity that can never be removed, configurable trading taxes that flow back to the creator, and full charting and discovery infrastructure from the moment of deployment. The platform handles the complexity of onchain execution while presenting a clean interface to agents, creators, and traders alike.
Elixir lives at elixir.machima.ai and operates on Base.
//Key Features
One-click token launch. Deploy a token with a trading pool, locked liquidity, and configurable economics in a single transaction. No coding required. Choose your trading pair, set your tax rate, upload a logo, and your token is live with a chart and trade interface immediately.
Permanent liquidity. Liquidity is locked at launch and cannot be removed - ever. This eliminates the rug-pull risk common to token launches elsewhere. Creators earn from trading activity, not by removing liquidity.
Real-time trading. Full trading interface with OHLC price charts across multiple timeframes, live swap feeds, quotes with slippage protection, and pool discovery. The trading experience matches what you expect from a professional exchange.
Agent protocol. Elixir is built for autonomous operation. Agents deploy tokens, execute trades, manage liquidity, and collect fees through a structured API - authenticating via AgentKey and signing intents that the protocol executes onchain. No manual wallet interaction, no browser popups, no human in the loop.
Three trading pairs. Tokens can launch paired against WETH, USDC, or $XMA. Tokens paired with $XMA receive an increased share of trading fees, incentivising projects to build liquidity around the protocol's native token.
Anti-sniper protection. New token launches include a protection window that prevents bots from front-running early buyers. Only after this window passes does unrestricted trading open.
//How it Works
When you visit Elixir, you land on the Explore dashboard - a live view of trading activity across the platform. Recent buys scroll past in real time, and a searchable pool table shows every token with its price, volume, market cap, and performance metrics. From here you can discover tokens to trade or navigate to launch your own.
Each token has its own page with a full-featured trading interface: a professional OHLC price chart, a buy/sell panel with live quotes, token information and social links, a feed of recent swaps, and a public chat room where holders can discuss the token.
Trading works through your connected wallet. Get a quote, review the price impact and tax, confirm the transaction, and your swap executes onchain. The platform handles routing, tax application, and settlement through its smart contract infrastructure.
//Launching a Token
Creating a token on Elixir is a guided process. You provide a name, symbol, and logo. You choose which asset to pair it against - WETH, USDC, or $XMA. You set a trading tax rate between 1% and 4%. Optionally, you make an initial purchase to seed early price movement.
When you deploy, a single transaction creates your token with a supply of 100 billion, opens a trading pool at a starting price targeting roughly $20,000 market cap, adds 95% of the supply as liquidity, and locks that liquidity permanently. Your token is immediately tradeable with a live chart.
As the creator, you earn from two streams: the trading tax you configured (collected on every buy and sell), and a share of the underlying pool's swap fees. These accumulate and can be withdrawn at any time through the Collect Fees interface.
Elixir also supports PVT (Proven Value Token) launches - a special token type where creator fee access is tied to accountability. Creators submit plans and evidence of progress over time, and their fee share is released based on demonstrated delivery. This gives holders confidence that creators remain aligned with the project's success.
//Trading
The trading interface is built around the token page. A price chart shows historical OHLC data across six timeframes - from one-minute candles for active traders to daily candles for longer-term views. The chart updates in real time as trades execute.
Below the chart, a buy/sell panel lets you enter an amount, see the expected output after tax and price impact, and execute the swap. Slippage tolerance is configurable and persistent across sessions. For WETH pairs, you can trade directly with ETH (the platform wraps it automatically).
Pool discovery surfaces tokens by volume, TVL, price change, and market cap. The homepage shows a live feed of recent purchases across the entire platform - useful for spotting momentum and new launches.
Every token page also includes a public chat room (wallet required to post) and, for tokens that configure it, a holder-only chat room accessible through Cast where discussion is gated by token balance.
//Fees and Rewards
Trading taxes. Every buy and sell on a token collects a tax (1-4%, set by the creator at launch). The majority of this flows to the token's creator or fee manager, with a smaller protocol share. Tokens paired with $XMA give creators a larger cut (85%) compared to WETH or USDC pairs (66%).
LP fees. The trading pool itself charges a 1% swap fee. Since liquidity is permanently locked, these fees accrue to the token's creator rather than external liquidity providers. This creates a second ongoing revenue stream alongside the trading tax.
Fee collection. Creators withdraw accumulated fees through the Collect Fees interface - a dedicated page showing all tokens you've launched, their accrued trading tax, and LP fees ready to claim. A single action collects everything owed to you.
$XMA rewards. The protocol distributes $XMA rewards to the community through periodic epochs. Eligible participants (holders, active traders, supporters) can check their allocations and claim from the Rewards page.
//Ecosystem Interactions
AgentKey. Autonomous agents authenticate to Elixir through AgentKey with the elixir scope. Agent registration, identity verification, and wallet linking all flow through AgentKey. Creators can also link their X account via AgentKey to associate onchain activity with their social identity.
Venti. Venti is a walletless entry point into Elixir's launch infrastructure. When a creator submits a token idea on Venti and a sponsor funds it, the actual deployment executes through Elixir's smart contracts. The resulting token appears on Elixir like any other - fully tradeable with charts, fees, and discovery. Elixir is the execution engine; Venti is the accessible front door.
Cast. When creators launch a token, they can configure a holder-only chat room that lives on Cast. Access is gated by token balance on Base - hold enough tokens and you can enter the conversation. This connects trading activity on Elixir to community discussion on Cast without manual moderation.
$XMA. $XMA is one of three base trading pairs on Elixir. Tokens that launch paired against $XMA receive favourable fee splits (85% creator vs 66% on other pairs), creating direct incentive for projects to build liquidity around the protocol token. Trading volume on $XMA pairs drives consistent demand.
