Eleven kilometers of water.

Between you and the logs.

This is the whole process in order: how you reach Hadal through Tor, and how a token goes from nothing to live on Solana. Read it top to bottom. The deeper it goes, the more of it is up to you.

-200 m — Twilight zone: reach us

Two circuits, one meeting point

Open Tor Browser and paste the address. That is all it takes to read this site: no account, no sign-up. Hadal works at the Safest security level, which turns scripts off.

hadalxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.onion

There is no clearnet mirror: if a normal-web link claims to be Hadal, it is not.

Neither you nor Hadal ever connects to the other directly. You meet in the middle, at a relay that sees neither of you.

  YOU (Tor Browser)               HADAL (onion service)
        o                                   #
         \                                 /
          [ guard ]               [ relay ]
             \                         /
              [ middle ]       [ relay ]
                  \                 /
                   --> ( @ ) <--
                    meeting point

  Your circuit and Hadal's circuit end at the same relay.
  Your side: three hops. Hadal builds its own circuit;
  how many relays are on its side is not drawn to scale.

Your side

Tor Browser picks a relay somewhere in the network to be the meeting point, then builds a three-hop circuit to it. Each hop is wrapped in its own layer of encryption, like an onion. The first relay can see you but not where the circuit ends. The last one sees neither end.

Hadal's side

Hadal has no address that visitors can learn. It publishes a handful of introduction points instead. You send the meeting point's name to one of them, and it passes the note along. Hadal then builds its own circuit to the same meeting point.

  introduction (the note, not the traffic):

  YOU --> [ introduction point ] <-- HADAL
          "meet me at relay @"

The relay in the middle joins the two circuits. Only sealed bytes cross it: the encryption between you and Hadal runs end to end, and the meeting point cannot read it. Each relay peels one layer and learns only its neighbors. Neither side learns the other's IP address.

Tor protects where you connect from. It does not protect what you do once you are connected. That is what the rest of this page is about.

-1,000 m — Midnight zone: a wallet that is not you

Hadal has no login. A Solana wallet is the only identity a launch needs, and it is the one thing Hadal cannot make anonymous for you.

   [ funding source ]
          :
          :   public, on-chain, permanent.
          :   Hadal cannot see it, hide it,
          v   or remove it. This link is yours.
   [ FRESH WALLET ]   its key lives in your signer

Use a fresh wallet. Make a new one for this and nothing else.
Fund it in a way that does not point back at you. Not from an account with your name on it, and not from a wallet that already holds your other tokens. Anyone can read the public chain, and a line from your old wallet to your new one is a line.
The trail is on you. Hadal cannot see how the wallet was funded, cannot hide it, and cannot remove it. That part is yours.

Signing happens off the page

The full description is on the launch page under signing without scripts.

   [ HADAL console ]
        |  an unsigned transaction, as text
        v
   [ YOUR SIGNER ]  a separate tool you control,
        |           offline if you can manage it
        |  the signed transaction, pasted back
        v
   [ HADAL ]  broadcasts it to Solana

The page runs with scripts off, so nothing in it can sign. The console gives you the transaction as text, you sign it somewhere else, and you paste the result back. A seed phrase or private key never reaches Hadal, and there is nowhere on our side to keep one. Hadal never holds keys.

-4,000 m — Abyssal zone: shape the token

Four decisions, made on the form before anything is signed.

Name and ticker: Written to the chain with the token. Treat them as permanent: pick them as if you could not change them.
Art: You choose an image from your own device and send it with the form. At launch, Hadal pins the image and its metadata to public storage from our side, over Tor. The storage provider sees a Tor exit, and the file is published as-is, including any metadata in it. Strip photo metadata (location, camera serial) first. Sample design: the storage provider is not chosen yet.
Supply: One fixed number, set at creation. Sample default: 1,000,000,000 tokens. Nobody can mint more afterwards.
Curve: How steeply the price climbs as people buy. Sample presets: gentle, standard, violent. Steeper rewards the earliest buyers more and runs out of room sooner. The figures below are the Standard preset.

  A token sheet, sample values only:

  name    Lanternfish
  ticker  LNTRN
  supply  1,000,000,000
  curve   standard
  art     lanternfish.png  (sent with the form at launch)

-6,000 m — Hadal zone: launch

The curve does the selling

There is no order book and no one to match you with. A bonding curve is a rule written into the program: the more of the token that has been bought, the more the next one costs. Buy and the price climbs along the curve. Sell back and it slides down the same line. The curve is the only counterparty, and it is always open.

  SAMPLE Standard curve. Not a forecast.

                  share of supply sold (sample)

Sample economics for the Standard preset (worked by hand; supply 1,000,000,000)
Sold	Tokens sold	Price per 1,000,000 tokens (SOL, sample)	Total paid in (SOL, sample)
0%	0	0.030	0
20%	200,000,000	0.047	7.5
40%	400,000,000	0.083	20
60%	600,000,000	0.188	45
80%	800,000,000	0.750	120

On the Standard sample curve, 800,000,000 of 1,000,000,000 tokens (80%) are sold along the curve and the other 200,000,000 are held back for the pool at graduation. The first million tokens cost about 0.03 SOL. The last million cost about 0.75: a climb of about 25 times. The curve is full once about 120 SOL has been paid in, at a market cap of about 750 SOL.

Early buyers pay least. That is the incentive, and it is the risk: price can fall as fast as it rose, and Hadal makes no claim about where any curve ends up. All numbers here are sample values.

The model is a constant-product curve: start market cap = the virtual SOL reserve (30 SOL for Standard), and SOL paid in = reserve × share sold ÷ (1 − share sold). Trade fees are left out of the table. A flat sample network fee of 0.02 SOL (rent and transaction fees) applies once, at creation.

-8,000 m — Hadal zone: graduation

The curve fills. The pool opens.

   curve full: ~120 SOL paid in,
   800M tokens sold            (sample)
        |
        |  the curve closes. the SOL and the 200M
        v  held-back tokens are paired, deposited into:
   [ DEX pool ]  price is now set by trading in the pool
        |
        |  the LP tokens (the receipt that lets someone
        v  withdraw the liquidity) are sent to:
   [ burn address ]  nobody can withdraw it

When the last token on the curve is bought, the curve closes for good. The SOL it collected (about 120 SOL on the Standard sample curve) and the tokens held back are paired up and deposited into a pool on an open DEX. From that moment the price is set by trading in the pool, not by the curve.

The pool's LP tokens, the receipt that lets someone withdraw the liquidity, are sent to a burn address. After that the liquidity cannot be pulled: not by the creator, not by Hadal.

-10,935 m — Challenger Deep: surface

One signature hauls the fees up

   your signer   o  buoy
                 |
                 |   ^  one signature
                 |   ^  hauls it up
                 |
              [#####]  creator fees,
  ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  waiting on-chain

Every trade on the curve pays a fee. In the sample numbers, 0.30% of every curve trade belongs to the creator, and it sits on-chain, in a place only the creator wallet can open. If the Standard sample curve fills, that adds up to about 0.36 SOL.

To claim, review what has built up, and sign one claim transaction the same way you signed the launch: the console gives you the transaction as text, you sign it in your own signer, and you paste it back. The SOL lands in the wallet you name. Hadal cannot claim for you, cannot hold it back, and cannot move it somewhere else.

Claiming is a transaction like any other, and it is public. If the fees land in the wallet you launched from, nothing changes. If you send them to another wallet of yours, the link between the two is on-chain for anyone to read. Choose where it goes with that in mind.

Sample behavior and a sample fee. The live numbers will be set before launch.

-10,935 m — What Hadal sees, and what it cannot

What Hadal sees	What Hadal cannot see
The token name, ticker, image, supply and curve you submit. They have to be published.	Your IP address, or the country or network it belongs to. Your circuit ends at relays. Hadal sees only a relay.
Your wallet's public address, and the signed transaction. Solana shows both to everyone anyway.	Your private key or seed phrase. Signing happens in a signer you control, away from the page.
That a request arrived, and roughly when. A server has a clock. What gets written down is covered on the safety page.	Who you are away from the chain. No accounts, no email, no cookies: there is nothing to collect.
Anything you type into the site yourself. Do not put your name in a token description.	What you do in other tabs, or on other sites.

Tor is not magic. Solana is public, so the token, its creator wallet and every trade are visible to everyone, for good. If you sign in to your own accounts in the same Tor window, paste your own name into the token, or fund the wallet from your exchange, you have told them yourself. More in Stay unseen.
