Launch a token
What a launch does, what it costs and how creators earn.
What a launch does
One transaction, in this order:
- Creates your token: 1,000,000,000 supply, 18 decimals, a plain ERC-20 with no owner, no minting and no transfer tax.
- Opens a Uniswap v4 pool against USDC with the kernel as its hook and your rules registered.
- Puts the whole supply into the pool as single-sided liquidity starting at a fully diluted value of about $5,000. Buying half the supply costs roughly $5,000; buying 90% costs roughly $45,000.
- Locks that liquidity. The launchpad has no function to remove it.
Launches also get a launch floor: the price can never trade below where it started. A sell bigger than the USDC in the pool fails instead of partly filling.

|---|---|---|
| Fair launch | Launch guard (29%, 3 minutes, 1% per buy) + Dump damper (strength 500,000, up to 7%) | Most launches |
| Deflationary | Launch guard + Auto burn (1% of each buy) | Tokens where shrinking supply is the story |
| Whale friendly LPs | Surge fee (up to 2%) + Dump damper | Tokens you expect to trade in size |
| Plain | No blocks, base fee only | Simple pools |
How creators earn
The locked position earns the trading fee on every swap. When fees are collected, the creator receives their share (90% of launch fees at the current setting, fixed for your launch at launch time). Buys pay fees in USDC and sells pay in your token, so you receive both. Collect and claim from the pool page or your Portfolio; anyone can trigger collection, and claims are pull-based. You can hand creator rights to another wallet with transferCreator.
