Add the token details

Enter a name and ticker, then upload or drag in a square image. PNG, JPEG and WebP files up to 3 MB are supported, and images are resized to 512 by 512 pixels. When you review the launch, the image is stored permanently on Arweave and the token records that copy. The description, website and social links (X, Telegram and Discord) are optional.

Everything you enter is written on chain with the launch and can never be added, changed or removed later, by you or by ALPHA. Check every detail before you confirm.

Choose the chain and pairing asset

Select the chain first. The list then shows the pairing assets admitted on that chain, each with its logo, symbol and network.

The pairing asset is what your token is priced in and what sellers receive. It does not back your token or give it any of that asset’s rights.

Choose a fee preset

Choose Lean, Standard or Creator+. Lean charges 1% per trade with no creator reward. Standard charges 1.25%, with 0.25% to you as a reward. Creator+ charges 1.5%, with 0.5% to you. Every preset includes the 1% protocol fee, half of which buys back and burns ALPHA.

Rewards go to your connected wallet unless you choose another wallet for the selected chain. The preset and the reward wallet are fixed at launch and cannot change later.

Optional first purchase

You can buy the first tokens with the launch itself, starting from the curve’s opening price. You pay in the chain’s native currency (ETH, BNB, SOL, or USDC on Arc). When the pairing is the wrapped native token, such as WETH or WSOL, it is wrapped in the same transaction; for any other pairing it is swapped into the pairing asset first. On Solana that swap is approved together with the launch, and the launch is sent once the swap lands.

There is no free allocation: this purchase is a normal buy that pays the normal fee. The review shows its cost separately, and a maximum cost protects you if the price moves.

Review and sign once

The review lists the chain, token details, fixed supply, pairing asset, fee preset, reward wallet, any first purchase and the estimated network fee. One approval in your wallet then creates the token, its market and your first purchase together. Your token’s address is known before you sign and ends in a1fa.

When the chain confirms the launch, trading opens straight away. On EVM chains the token also appears in the ALPHA token list.

What can stop a launch

A launch is refused for missing or invalid details, an unsupported image, an unavailable pairing asset, an invalid reward wallet or a cost above your maximum. It can also fail for an insufficient balance, an expired quote or network problems. A failed or rejected launch creates nothing, and you only pay the network fee if a transaction was sent.

Creator responsibilities

Creators are responsible for accurate details, lawful communication and the security of their linked accounts and reward wallet. A successful launch does not certify the creator, the project or its value.

Because token details are permanent, check every link before you confirm. If a linked account is compromised later, warn holders through channels you still control, and never ask holders to send funds to an address shared only on social media.
