Every launch option
Everything the launch form can configure, with the exact bounds the contract enforces. All of it is set in the launch transaction and immutable afterwards - these are the economics your buyers can rely on, which is exactly why you cannot change them later.
The defaults
Skip the advanced section entirely and you launch with: supply 1,000,000,000, opening reserve 2 ETH (graduating after 4 ETH of net buys), anti-sniper on, no dev buy, swap fee 1.00%, ETH-side fees paid to you, token-side fees burned. Every section below changes one of those knobs.
The options here describe launching on Robinhood Chain, the venue open today. Where BSC or Solana will differ, the Chains & venues page says so explicitly.
Total supply
| Bound | Value |
|---|---|
| Minimum | 1,000,000 |
| Maximum | 1,000,000,000,000 |
| Default | 1,000,000,000 |
| Presets | 100M · 420M · 1B · 69B |
Supply is cosmetic in one sense - the curve shape and the fraction sold before graduation (~73.3%) are identical at every supply - and real in another: it sets the per-token price your buyers see. A 69B-supply token opens at a much smaller unit price than a 100M one at the same market cap. Pick the number whose price-per-token feels right for your audience; the economics do not change.
Opening market cap
You choose the market cap your token opens at, in USD. Under the hood this sets the curve's initial virtual reserve (y0): the form converts your USD target with the live ETH price and shows “Opens at $X” before you commit.
| Bound | Value |
|---|---|
| Reserve range (y0) | 0.05 - 50 ETH |
| Default reserve | 2 ETH |
| USD presets | $2.5K · $4K · $10K · $25K |
| Graduation raise | 2 × y0 |
| Graduation market cap | 9 × opening |
The curve's shape is fixed - the graduation target is always three times the opening reserve - so a higher opening market cap also means a proportionally larger raise and a higher graduation market cap. At the default 2 ETH reserve the token opens around 1.82 ETH of market cap, raises 4 ETH on the curve, and graduates at nine times its opening cap. The full derivation is in The bonding curve.
The reserve bound is denominated in the chain's native coin, so the largest opening market cap it can express moves with that coin's USD price. The form disables any USD preset the current chain cannot deliver exactly, rather than quietly opening lower than the button promised.
Your swap fee
You pick the rate you earn on every swap - buyers and sellers alike, during bonding. It is immutable after launch: the contract writes it exactly once, and no admin, creator or upgrade can raise it for a live token.
| Bound | Value |
|---|---|
| Your rate | 0.50% - 3.00% |
| Default | 1.00% |
| Tiers | 0.5% · 0.75% · 1% · 1.25% · 1.5% · 1.75% · 2% · 2.25% · 2.5% · 2.75% · 3% |
The platform's cut rides on top of your rate, and it is flat: a 0.30% of volume platform fee and a 0.05% of volume referral rail. So a trader pays your rate + 0.35% and you keep your whole rate - the platform's share does not grow when you move up a tier:
| Your rate | Traders pay | Platform | Referrals | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
0.50% | 0.85% | 0.30% | 0.05% | 0.50% |
1.00% | 1.35% | 0.30% | 0.05% | 1.00% |
2.00% | 2.35% | 0.30% | 0.05% | 2.00% |
3.00% | 3.35% | 0.30% | 0.05% | 3.00% |
A higher rate earns you more per trade but taxes every trader, including you. Most launches sit at 1%. The complete fee system - including what happens if you skip this option - is in Fees & earnings.
Anti-sniper
With anti-sniper on (the default), no wallet's balance may exceed 2% of supply while the token is bonding. Combined with the atomic dev buy, this is what makes a fair launch enforceable rather than aspirational: a sniper cannot sweep the bottom of your curve into one wallet.
With it off, the max-wallet check is relaxed. Whales can accumulate freely - which some communities prefer - but the concentration risk is yours to own. The dev-buy cap applies either way, and the setting is shown on the token page so buyers can see which rules a token launched under. After graduation there is no wallet cap in any case; the open market has no such rule.
Dev buy
An optional first buy executed atomically inside the launch transaction, capped at 2% of supply. Covered in detail in Launching a token; the short version: nobody can front-run it, the normal swap fee applies, it is slippage-guarded, and it is publicly disclosed in the launch event.
Fee routing - ETH side
Your share of the swap fee accrues in ETH (or the quote asset). You decide at launch where it goes, permanently:
| Option | What happens | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Pay me | Accrues on-chain to your claimable balance. Claim any time; you can point the payout at any address. The default. | Live |
| Buy back & burn | Your fees accumulate in an earmark; a keeper regularly market-buys your own token with them and burns it to the dead address. Pre-graduation it buys on your curve, post-graduation on the DEX. Runs once at least 0.001 ETH has accrued; slippage-guarded. | Live |
| Pay stakers | Your fees are deposited as ETH rewards into your token’s staking pool - holders stake the token and share the flow pro-rata. | Live |
| Pay me in stock | Your fees are converted into a tokenized equity you elect (from a liquidity-screened list) and held for you to claim. Not yet electable: the launch form shows it as a preview, and it opens only after the stock rail’s external audit. | Built · not live |
The contracts for stock conversion are written and covered by tests, but the rail is not live: it is gated on an external security audit of the fee system, and the live deployment does not accept this routing at all. That is why the launch form shows the equity card as a preview you cannot select - a routing that parks fees behind a conversion that does not run yet would not be an option, it would be a trap. Details and the fine print on what a tokenized equity legally is: Tokenized equities.
Fee routing - token side
After graduation, the locked LP position also earns fees in your token itself. Your share of those routes per a second, independent choice (there are no token-side fees before graduation):
| Option | What happens |
|---|---|
| Vest to me | Your token share vests to you linearly over 30 days from graduation - you cannot dump your own fee stream in one block, and buyers can see that. |
| Burn | Sent straight to the dead address on collection. Deflationary; the default. |
| Pay stakers | Deposited as token rewards into your token’s staking pool. |
Quote assets
By default a curve is denominated in the chain's native coin - you buy with ETH, the price is in ETH, and graduation seeds a TOKEN/WETH pool. The contract now also supports launching a curve denominated in an admin-whitelisted ERC-20 - think USDC, or even a tokenized equity - in which case buys, sells, fees, your payouts and the graduation pool are all in that asset instead.
- The whitelist is deliberately curated by the platform, not open: a curve holding a misbehaving token (rebasing, clawback, fee-on-transfer) would break solvency for every holder, so each asset is admitted individually with its own bounds and minimum trade size.
- The launch fee stays in the native coin regardless of the quote asset.
- ERC-20-quoted launches route ETH-side fees only as Pay me - the buyback and staking rails are native-coin plumbing.
- The quote asset is, like everything else here, fixed for the life of the token.
Quote-asset launches exist at the contract level, but the launch form does not yet offer the selector, and no asset has been whitelisted on the live deployment yet. When it opens, this page will list the admitted assets and their bounds.
