How Owl1 works

Owl1 is a non-custodial front-end for the o1 Launchpad on Base. It routes your swaps and captures a referral fee on every trade.

Overview

Owl1 does not launch tokens or run its own pools. It is a trading layer on top of the o1 Launchpad — every market you see is an o1 token trading in a permanent single-sided Uniswap V4 pool on Base.

Owl1 adds one thing on top:

  • Referral capture — Owl1's wallet is bound into every swap, earning 20 bps of the 1% fee.
Owl1 is non-custodial. It never holds your funds or signs for you — every transaction is reviewed and signed in your own wallet.

How it works

Owl1 sits between your browser and the o1 Launchpad. All o1 requests flow through Owl1's server, which attaches the API key and the referral wallet — the browser never talks to o1 directly.

The referral wallet is injected server-side into the signed quote, so it cannot be stripped or tampered with by the client. That is what guarantees Owl1 earns its share on every trade routed through it.

Swap flow

A swap is a fully client-signed round trip — Owl1 only ever returns transaction steps for your wallet to sign and broadcast on Base.

  4. 4Sign + broadcast — you sign the Universal Router swap; it confirms on Base.

Revenue sharing

Every swap through an o1 V4 pool pays a 1% fee. When a trade carries a valid referrer, o1 splits that 1% three ways:

RecipientShareWho
Creator50 bpsThe token launcher, set at launch
Platform30 bpso1 Launchpad
Referrer20 bpsOwl1 — captured on every routed trade

Owl1 is the referrer, so it earns 20 bps (0.2%) of every trade routed through it. This referral share is how Owl1 funds itself.

Risk

The tokens traded here are permissionless and may have no utility or value — prices are volatile and you could lose everything. Always DYOR and never trade what you cannot afford to lose. Nothing on Owl1 is financial advice.
