Launching a token
Four fields, one transaction, zero launch fee. What the creator earns and what the creator cannot do.
The form
A launch takes four fields and one transaction.
| Field | Rule |
|---|---|
| Name | 1 to 32 characters |
| Ticker | 3 to 8 characters, uppercase letters and digits |
| Image | Square, PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF, 2 MB maximum |
| X link | Optional. Must start with https://x.com/ |
There is no launch fee. You pay gas only.
The image is uploaded to IPFS when you submit. The token stores its ipfs:// address on chain, so the image cannot be swapped later.
Supply
| Tokens | Share | |
|---|---|---|
| Sold on the curve | 800,000,000 | 80% |
| Reserved for the pool at graduation | 200,000,000 | 20% |
| Total, fixed forever | 1,000,000,000 | 100% |
All 1,000,000,000 tokens are minted once, to the token's curve. Nobody receives an allocation. The creator buys on the curve like everyone else.
First buy
You can buy in the same transaction as the launch. That buy lands in the Batch open like everyone else's. It gets the same clearing price as every other buy in the first 30 seconds. Launching first gives no price advantage.
Image guidelines
- Square. The site crops to a square in the preview before upload.
- Clear at 48 pixels. It is shown small in lists.
- No logos of projects you do not own, and nothing that suggests an official link to Elysium, Kinetiq or Hyperliquid.
- 2 MB maximum.
What the creator earns
40% of every trade fee on the token, on the curve and in the pool after graduation. Fees accrue in HYPE and are claimable any time from Portfolio. There is no vesting and no minimum.
A creator who stakes 100,000 $ANEMOS earns 50% instead. Staking is not live yet. See Staking.
What the creator cannot do
The token contract has no owner. That means:
- No mint. The supply is 1,000,000,000 forever.
- No tax. Transfers move the exact amount.
- No pause and no blacklist.
- No access to the liquidity. The pool position is locked forever at graduation.
- No change to the name, ticker or image.
One rule is built in. Until graduation, nobody can send tokens to the token's own Uniswap pool address. This stops anyone from opening the graduation pool early at a fake price. The rule switches off forever at graduation.
