Launching well
The form takes a minute. The decisions inside it are permanent. This page is what we would tell a friend before they pressed the button.
Pick the fee like a trader, not like an owner
The instinct is to max it at 2%. Resist. Every basis point you take is a basis point of worse execution for whoever is buying, on top of the pool's own 1% LP fee. A coin nobody trades at 2% earns less than the same coin traded constantly at 0.5%.
| 0.25% to 0.5% | Barely noticeable to traders. Sensible when you expect real volume and want the coin to feel cheap to move in and out of. |
|---|---|
| 1% | The middle. Visible on a chart but not punitive. This is the default in the form for a reason. |
| 2% | The ceiling. Defensible when the fee is the point, for example a charity coin where the donation is the pitch. Traders will notice. |
And pick the split honestly
The share you route to the nominated wallet is public on the coin page, forever. If you are launching a coin that says it funds something, route most of it there and let people verify. If you are launching for yourself, say so. The one thing that does not survive contact with a community is a stated split that does not match the one on chain.
Liquidity is the decision that actually matters
The ETH you seed sets how violent the price is. A pool with 0.05 ETH in it moves triple digits on a small buy, which looks exciting for an hour and then looks like a scam when it retraces. A pool with 2 ETH in it behaves like a market.
It is also the money you are least likely to see again. The position has no withdraw path, so treat the number as spent, not staked.
The minimum is not a recommendation
Supply is cosmetics
A billion supply against 1 ETH gives a price with a lot of zeroes in it. A million supply against the same 1 ETH gives a price with fewer. The market cap is identical. Pick whatever makes the number on the chart feel right to you and stop thinking about it.
Before you sign
| Name and ticker | Spelled the way you want them forever. There is no rename. |
|---|---|
| Recipient address | Pasted, not typed. Send a test transaction to it first if it is not a wallet you use daily. |
| Recipient can receive ETH | If it is a contract, make sure something can call claim. A wallet is safest. |
| Fee and split | Both permanent. Say them out loud and check they match whatever you plan to announce. |
| Liquidity | An amount you can afford to never see again. |
| Network | Robinhood Chain, chain 4663. Check the strip at the top of the page. |
The first five minutes
Trading is live in the same transaction that creates the pool, and there is no anti-bot window. Bots watch the mempool on every chain, this one included. If you plan to announce, assume the first buys are not from your community.
If that matters to you, the honest workaround is not a feature we have: it is launching quietly, letting the pool sit, and announcing later. See security.
Mistakes we have watched people make
- Nominating an exchange deposit address, which cannot claim and often cannot receive.
- Setting the split to 100% to the platform by dragging the wrong slider. Read the panel before signing.
- Seeding the minimum, then being surprised the chart is unusable.
- Announcing a fee percentage that does not match what is on the coin page.
- Assuming fees arrive automatically. They accrue. You claim them.
