Create a token

Every field of the launch form, its limits, and what happens when you press Launch.

Launching takes one form and one confirmation. This page covers every field, the rules each one follows, and what happens on chain when you press Launch.

Before you start

  • An X account. Launching requires signing in with X, the same account buyers see as the creator.
  • SOL for the launch. Creating the pool and the token's accounts costs a small amount of SOL, shown in the summary before you confirm. Add the amount of your initial buy if you make one.

Launch settings

Pair

The asset your token trades against. SOL is selected by default; you can pick USDC or any of the other supported assets. The pair decides what buyers pay with and what the curve raises. See Pair assets.

Creator fee

The trading fee on every buy and sell while your token is on the curve: 1%, 2%, 3% (default 1%). You keep 60% of it. See Creator fees.

Initial buy

An optional first buy, sent together with the launch so it is the first trade on your curve. The launch form shows its limits in your pair asset:

  • The smallest initial buy is worth $0.10.
  • The largest is 90% of the amount the curve raises by graduation, so a launch can never graduate itself.
  • The form warns you when an initial buy would take more than 10% of the supply.

Fixed at launch

The supply, pair, creator fee, curve and graduation target cannot be changed after launch. Check the summary carefully before you confirm.

What happens when you launch

  1. The pool and token are created

    A Meteora DBC transfer-hook pool is created from a FOMOPRIME-registered curve configuration. Meteora creates the Token-2022 mint and puts the whole 1B supply into the curve.

  2. The gate is attached

    In the same transaction, FOMOPRIME initialises the token's transfer-hook accounts. Before it does, the program checks the mint has no mint or freeze authority and that every token is in the curve. See Token guarantees.

  3. Your initial buy fills

    If you set one, your buy goes in the launch transaction when everything fits, or in the transaction right after it.

  4. The token goes live

    The token appears in the New column on Discover and in My launches. Buyers from the fomo app and X-verified accounts can trade it right away.
