Token launchpad
A contract system that deploys a token, seeds its initial market and configures fee recipients in one transaction — the entry venue for most agent tokens.
A launchpad bundles what used to be several steps: deploying an ERC-20, creating a market for it, setting who receives trading fees, and often registering metadata. One call produces all of it, which is why launch counts are large and why they are a measurement of deployments rather than of projects.
Launchpads are the most visible part of the agent economy and the least informative about it. A launchpad counts tokens; a registry counts identities; a payment rail counts settlements. They are different objects, and Sato Hub never adds them together.
Listing a launchpad is not an endorsement of anything launched on it, and a launch is not evidence that an agent exists behind the token.
