Launchpad
Launching a token
Anyone can launch a token on GAMA by filling in its details and paying the creation fee in ETH.
Creation fee
The creation fee is 0.00078 ETH. It is always paid in ETH, even for launches priced in another pair token. The whole fee is protocol revenue and follows the protocol split.
The protocol owner can change the fee for future launches. Each launch keeps the fee that applied when it was created.
What you choose
| Choice | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Name, symbol, logo, description, social links | The token's public details. They cannot be changed after creation. |
| Pair token | What the token is priced in, such as ETH. It must be an approved pair token. |
| Creator recipient | The address that receives creator income. By default, the creator's own address. |
| Mode | Standard or reward mode. See below. Cannot be changed later. |
| Creator tax | Standard mode only: 0% to 10%, paid to the creator on every trade. |
| Holder fee | Reward mode only: 1% or 3%, shared among holders after graduation. |
| Creator buyback | Whether to start with creator buyback-and-vest on. Only possible when you are also the creator recipient. In reward mode it stops at graduation. |
| Anti-snipe exemptions | Up to 32 extra addresses that skip the anti-snipe tax. |
| Opening buy | An optional first purchase on the new curve, made in the same step. |
Before the launch is created, the app shows a preview of the exact terms. If anything changes between the preview and the creation, for example the default fees, the creation is rejected and you must review the new terms.
Token
Every launched token has these properties:
- A fixed supply of 1,000,000,000 tokens, all created at launch and held by the curve. No more can ever be created.
- 18 decimals.
- No owner, no transfer tax, no blocklist, no pause, and no maximum wallet or transaction size.
- Details that cannot be edited after creation.
Every launched token's address ends in 100. This makes GAMA launches easy to recognize.
On the live release, burning tokens removes them from the total supply.
Pending release. In the next release, burned tokens are sent to a dead address and the total supply does not change.
Opening buy
The creator can buy some of the new token in the same step as creating it. It is an ordinary curve purchase with ordinary fees. The creator is exempt from the anti-snipe tax. If the opening buy completes the whole sale, the launch graduates immediately.
Pausing new launches
The protocol owner can pause new launches. The pause affects only the creation of new tokens. Existing tokens keep trading, graduating and paying out as usual.
