Company profile

researched Aug 2026

g8keep is a Web3 token launch and trading platform built on the Base network. It targets what it describes as structural flaws in token issuance β€” malicious deployers, flawed fair-launch curves and bot activity β€” by standardising deployment through a factory contract that sets parameters for fees, liquidity and snipe protection. Initial liquidity supplied at deployment is permanently locked, and a Uniswap V2 pair is created immediately so that a newly deployed token is tradable as soon as deployment completes.

The platform is also described as a token discovery and trading venue spanning Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) networks. Reported feature set includes a 15-minute post-launch protection window intended to block bots and bundlers from front-running a launch, mechanisms for distributing tokens without privileged early access, and a share of trading fees routed back to token creators as an ongoing revenue stream. As of late 2024 the project had completed three third-party audits and was preparing to launch on Base mainnet.

One source lists a g8keep token traded on Uniswap V2 against WETH with a reported market capitalisation of roughly $28,000 and a total supply of 1 billion; however, in September 2024 the company's co-founder publicly stated that g8keep was not listed on CoinMarketCap and did not have a token, so this token data is unverified and contradicted.
