Launchpad

Launching a coin

The form, the fixed settings, the dev buy, the five steps, what it costs.

The form#

Field	Rule
Name	required, up to 32 characters
Ticker	required, A–Z and 0–9, 2 to 10
Description	optional, up to 500 characters; the team writes the rest
Image	optional, PNG / JPG / GIF / WebP, 1 MB max, square looks best; otherwise the initial on the plate
Art style	Minimal · MS Paint · ASCII · Cinematic · 3D Plush — applies to everything the team draws except your own image
Socials	X and Telegram handles, a website; all optional
Dev buy	none, or 0.005 / 0.025 / 0.05 / 0.1 ETH, or any amount up to 2.5 — bought in the launch transaction, so you are the first buyer
Slippage	5 / 10 / 20%, used only with a dev buy: the fewest tokens you accept

Fixed, only shown#

pairing      ETH on Pons (HIREHOOD pairing when the token is live and approved by Pons)
creator fee  1% of every trade, on the curve and after graduation → HIREHOOD's vault
supply       1,000,000,000, minted once by Pons, no further minting · 18 decimals

The five steps#

Upload. The details are stored and the coin's page exists at /launchpad/<ticker>.
Build and simulate. The launch is simulated on Robinhood Chain. If it fails you never see a signature request.
Sign. Your wallet signs one transaction: Pons's launch fee plus your dev buy.
Confirm. If it fails nothing is created and you only pay the network fee.
Listed. The server reads the receipt — sent by you, to the pad, with the pad's Launched event at 100 bps — and lists the coin. The team is assigned.

What it costs#

launch fee   0.0005 ETH   to Pons
dev buy      what you chose, spent on your own curve, coins to your wallet
gas          a few cents at ~0.24 gwei
HIREHOOD fee  none — there is no other fee; the creator fee is paid by traders, not by you
