Why

The Launch Pool soft cap shipped in the Genesis program and JS client 0.42.0, but the developer hub had zero mentions of it — grep -ri "soft cap" across the repo returned nothing. Nothing was tracked in Linear for the docs either; the feature issues (APP-585, APP-599, APP-600, APP-588, APP-590, APP-591) are all Done with no docs follow-up.

What

Adds a ## Launch Pool Soft Cap section to /smart-contracts/genesis/launch-pool covering:

  • What a soft cap is — a ceiling on quote tokens kept, not a failure condition. Deposits above it are still accepted and the launch still succeeds.
  • Configuration — softCap on addLaunchPoolBucketV2, plus the two validation rules (InvalidSoftCap 221, SoftCapBelowThreshold 222) and the pre-finalize-only constraint.
  • Oversubscription math — the filled / excess split with the div_ceil rounding that keeps the bucket solvent, and a worked example showing that the effective price is capped at softCap / baseTokenAllocation.
  • refundLaunchPoolV2 — previously undocumented. Serves both the failed-floor full refund and the oversubscribed excess refund. New src/examples/genesis/refund_launch_pool_v2 umi example.
  • Soft cap vs. minimumQuoteTokenThreshold — a matrix of the four floor/ceiling configurations, since the floor was also undocumented on this page and the refund path depends on it.

Also adds a Launch Pool extensions table, a Common Errors table, softCap / refunded fields in the state-fetching snippets, four FAQ entries (mirrored into faqs frontmatter for FAQPage JSON-LD), and five glossary terms.

Note for reviewers — possible SDK bug

softCap is required on addLaunchPoolBucketV2 in @metaplex-foundation/genesis 0.42.0. Every other extension gets a ?? none() default in the generated serializer; softCap does not, and its type has no ?:

minimumQuoteTokenThreshold?: OptionOrNullable<MinimumQuoteTokenThresholdArgs>;
softCap: OptionOrNullable<SoftCapArgs>;   // no `?`, no default

This means existing Launch Pool snippets that omit softCap no longer typecheck against 0.42.0. The docs now say to pass softCap: null, but this looks like a kinobi codegen gap worth fixing on the SDK side rather than documenting around permanently.

Out of scope

  • CLI docs unchanged — the mplx CLI has no soft cap flag yet (confirmed against metaplex-foundation/cli main). The page notes this.
  • Locales — /ja, /ko, /zh will follow in a separate PR per the repo's edit-English-first workflow.

Verification

  • pnpm run build passes; the page renders with the new sections and the FAQ JSON-LD.
  • All 5 in-page anchors verified against slugifyHeading.
  • Protocol behaviour checked against metaplex-foundation/genesis main: buckets/extensions.rs, launchpool/state/launchpool_extensions.rs, launchpool/processor/refund_launchpool_v2.rs, trigger_behaviors_v2/bucket_transition_context.rs, behaviors/send_start_price.rs.

The soft cap shipped in the Genesis program and JS client 0.42.0
(LaunchPoolV2Extensions.soft_cap / LaunchPoolV2ExtensionType::SoftCap)
but was not documented anywhere on the developer hub.

- Add a "Launch Pool Soft Cap" section covering configuration, the
  oversubscription split, the pro-rata excess refund, and how a soft cap
  interacts with minimumQuoteTokenThreshold
- Document refundLaunchPoolV2, which serves both the failed-floor full
  refund and the oversubscribed excess refund, with a new umi example
- Note that softCap is a required argument on addLaunchPoolBucketV2 in
  0.42.0 and must be passed as null when no cap is wanted
- Add a Launch Pool extensions table and a Common Errors table covering
  InvalidSoftCap (221) and SoftCapBelowThreshold (222)
- Replace the "Out of Scope" section with an inline callout, per the
  GEO/LLM rubric

- Line 545: Add a concise declarative BLUF sentence immediately below the
“Common Errors” heading and before the error table, summarizing that the section
covers invalid soft-cap settings and launch pool states that reject refund
requests.
- Line 321: Update the rounding explanation near filled to state that each
deposit contributes less than one quantum unit and aggregate dust can reach up
to depositCount - 1 quantum units, replacing the unsupported “few” bound.
