Launching a token

Steps

1. Connect a wallet.
2. Fill in the token's details — image, name, ticker, description, and optional links (website, X).
3. Optionally set a dev buy amount in HYPE.
4. Submit. The token is created, its 1,000,000 supply goes into the pool, and it's tradable immediately.

Dev buy

The creator can buy into their own token at launch, inside the creation transaction itself, with no upper limit. It's visible onchain exactly like any other buy — there's no hidden mechanism, just an early, public transaction.

Good practices

• A dev buy is a public, onchain first trade — size it with that in mind.
• Trading is capped for the first 3 minutes after launch to slow down snipers; see Anti-snipe. The dev buy is exempt from that cap.
• As the creator, you earn 50% of the 1% fee on every trade of your token from the very first trade — see Fees & revenue.
