Pour a billet

One transaction, and it costs gas. Name it, ticker it, and the foundry does the rest in the same block.

What the heat does

1The billet is deployed and mints its whole supply in its own constructor — 0 of it, split in that same transaction.
2A pool opens: native ETH against the billet, no LP fee, the skim in the key where it cannot be swapped out later.
3The pool’s share is cast into the ingot as one position. There is no function anywhere that winds it back off.

The mould, from the chain

Read from the launchpad once there is one. This page prints no figure it has not asked the chain for.

The share that is not cast into the ingot goes to the foundry’s supply wallet, not to you, and it is liquid from the first block. That is the cost of a free door, and it is a constant in the contract rather than a setting on this page. The pattern lists every one of them.
