For token-issuing projects, FlowState is the supply orchestration layer for your token. Every channel that puts your tokens into the market (team unlocks, VC vesting, treasury sales, designated market makers) can route through C1 Pools instead of dumping into the AMM. The chart stays clean. The seller gets oracle price minus 1%. The buyer pays no slippage.Documentation Index

The problem most projects face
Every token project hits the same wall around year two:- Team and VC unlocks begin. Holders want to realise gains. The AMM pool cannot absorb the volume without dropping the price 30-50%.
- Treasury holdings need diversification. The project holds native tokens that cannot be sold to fund operations without signalling weakness.
- Liquidity mining costs rise. Keeping AMM pools deep enough to look healthy on chart sites costs ongoing token rewards, draining treasury.
- Designated market makers refuse to quote. For tokens below $50M market cap, professional MMs decline inventory risk that cannot be hedged.
- Short-term holders dump on every catalyst. Even small sells move the price meaningfully, hurting long-term confidence.
Your token’s supply channels, mapped to C1
C1 Pools accept supply from four distinct sources. For a token-issuing project, each of these maps to a part of your cap table or treasury operations:Holders
Your team, advisors, seed investors, KOL allocations, retail holders and any other long-term position. Anyone who holds the token can deposit into the C1 Pool when they want to exit, in any size, without coordinating with the project.
Vesting platforms
Token vesting contracts (Series X, Sablier, Hedgey, Liquifi and similar) can route unlocked tokens directly into C1 Pools at each vesting cliff or stream tick. Recipients exit at oracle price without ever touching the AMM. Integration with Series X is native.
Market makers
Designated MMs that historically refused to quote thin-liquidity tokens can deploy inventory into C1 with a defined exit price (oracle). This converts MM engagements from speculative inventory risk into structured execution.
OTC desks
Project treasury operations and large block trades can route through C1 instead of bilateral OTC. The treasury gets oracle pricing, the buyer gets aggregator-routed execution, the chart is unaffected.
How a project activates each channel
Holders
Once a C1 Pool exists for your token and aggregator routing is live, holders can deposit independently. The project’s role is communication: tell holders the pool exists, tell them how to use it, and tell them why it matters for the chart.
Vesting platforms
Coordinate with your vesting provider to enable a “route to C1 Pool” option at unlock. Series X is built around this flow. For other providers, the recipient deposits manually post-unlock. The project can pre-stage this with each VC and team member ahead of their cliff.
Market makers
If you have a designated MM relationship, give them the C1 Pool address as a structured inventory deployment venue. The MM deposits available inventory into C1 and exits at oracle minus 1% as buyers route through aggregators. See Market Makers for the full MM economics. Your MM contract terms can include C1 routing as a baseline expectation.
What this looks like for chart health
A typical thin-liquidity token with a $5M AMM pool and a $500K position holder has three exit paths:| Exit method | Slippage to seller | AMM price impact | Chart visibility |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single AMM dump | 20%+ | -20% | Visible red candle |
| TWAP over weeks | 5-10% | -5-10% | Sustained downtrend |
| C1 Pool | 1% fee, 0% slippage | None | Invisible to chart |
Where this matters most
The economic case strengthens with position size and token thinness:VC and team unlock cliffs
The single highest-impact use case. A $1M-$10M cliff routed through C1 instead of the AMM is the difference between a sustained downtrend and an invisible exit.
Treasury operations
Project treasuries can convert measured tranches at oracle price without creating visible sell pressure. Useful for funding operations, runway extension or DAO grants.
Post-launch holder retention
When large holders have a clean exit path, short-term holders panic less on catalysts. The chart stops being a coordination signal for selling.
Lower LP rewards spend
Healthy chart action depends less on artificially deep AMM pools when large sellers route through C1 instead. Liquidity mining budgets can be reduced or redirected.
When to start
The right time to set up a C1 Pool is before the first major unlock. Once the pool exists and aggregator routing is live, holders have a clean exit option. Without it, the only exit is the AMM, with the predictable consequences. For projects approaching team or VC unlock cliffs, lead time to set up a pool and coordinate the holder communication is two to four weeks.Get started
