Launch a token

Launching costs a flat 0.0005 ETH fee, and nothing else. Everything you choose in this form is permanent, so it is worth understanding before you sign.

1. Identity

Name, ticker, description, image and socials are stored on-chain, in the token contract itself, not in our database. If this site disappeared, your token's metadata would still be readable by anyone. Images are referenced by URL; use an IPFS link (Pinata, web3.storage) if you want the image to be as durable as the rest.

2. Bond quote

Pick which graduated Pons token your raise buys when your curve fills. Buyers spend plain ETH; the quote is what the entire raise market-buys at the bond, what your pool pairs with after, and what your fees arrive in from then on. This choice decides who your natural audience is.

Each quote shows how many launches it has hosted and how much of it has been burned by those launches. Picking a quote with an active community is usually worth more than picking the largest one. See quote tokens.

3. Your fee

You can charge 0% to 2% on every trade, forever, on the curve and on the pool after the bond. This is on top of the 1% base fee (half of which is already yours), and it is yours entirely.

There is no vesting, no cliff, and no claim deadline. Fees accumulate to a claimable balance you withdraw whenever you like, from the token page or your creator dashboard. During the ETH phase they accrue in WETH and you claim ETH; after the bond they arrive in your quote token.

4. Cashback mode

Optionally route part of your take somewhere else. This never increases what traders pay; it only changes where your share goes. The three options and their tradeoffs are covered in fees & cashback. The create form draws a live diagram of the split as you move the sliders.

5. Dev buy (optional)

You can buy your own token in the same transaction that creates it: any ETH you send above the launch fee is swapped on your curve before anyone else can trade. That buy is exempt from the anti-snipe tax, so it clears at the honest price while bots in the same window do not.

The dev buy carries its own minimum-tokens-out bound. If the economics moved between quoting and confirming, the whole launch reverts rather than filling you at a different price.

What happens when you sign

  1. Your token's address will end in 909: the create page mines a salt until the predicted address carries the platform signature, and the prediction is confirmed by the deployer contract itself before you sign. Purely cosmetic, costs a few seconds, and a launch never fails because of it.
  2. The launch is simulated first. If it would fail, you see why instead of losing gas.
  3. The exact economics you were quoted are pinned into the transaction. If anything moved between quoting and confirming, the launch reverts rather than proceeding on different terms.
  4. Your token and a live Uniswap V4 pool quoted in WETH are created together, with the whole curve allocation seeded as liquidity. Trading opens in the same block, in plain ETH, for any wallet or bot that can swap Uniswap.

Anti-snipe window

For the first three seconds, buys pay a tax that starts at 99% and decays to zero, enforced by the hook. Sniping bots that front-run your announcement pay most of their spend as fees, which flow into the normal fee split rather than disappearing, while a human buying a minute later pays nothing extra. Your dev buy, riding the launch transaction itself, never pays it.

Things you cannot change later

  • Your fee percentage.
  • Your cashback mode and its share.
  • The bond quote, supply, and bond threshold.
  • The token's name, ticker, and on-chain metadata.

The only thing you can change is which address receives your creator fees, and only you can change it. Nobody can change it for you, which also means that if you lose the key, those future fees are gone. That tradeoff is deliberate; see trust & security.
