Launch a Token
A token is created in one transaction - currently free apart from gas. You pick a few settings, optionally buy some of your own supply in the same breath, and the Factory handles everything else. Your token is tradable the second the transaction lands.
What you pick at launch
| Choice | What it means |
|---|---|
| Name & ticker | What your token is called. Up to 32 characters for the name, 16 for the ticker. |
| Description & image | Shown on your token's page and stored with the token itself. Up to 256 characters; a square image looks best. |
| Links | Optional X, Telegram and website, displayed on your token's page. |
| Staking vault | Optional, off by default. Turn it on and your token gets its own vault where holders can stake and earn a share of trading fees. |
| Community fee share | Only if you turned the vault on: how much of the community-and-creator slice of post-graduation fees goes to stakers rather than to you, from 1% to 100%. Set once, permanent. |
| Fee destination | Where your creator earnings land - your wallet by default, or any address you choose: a team multisig, a treasury, or even a contract with your own redistribution logic. |
| Initial buy | Optional. A share of the supply bought from your own curve inside the launch transaction, before anyone else can. |
Without a staking vault there's no community share to set: the whole creator-and-community slice is yours.
One thing the Factory refuses outright: you can't launch two tokens with an identical name, symbol, description and image. A straight copy of an existing token won't deploy.
The initial buy
Snipers watch launchpads and try to buy new tokens the instant they appear. The initial buy is your counter: buy from your own curve inside the launch transaction itself, before any sniper can act. You give it as a percentage of the supply, and the app works out the ETH it will cost.
There's a limit, so creators can't quietly corner their own supply:
- Standard cap: 15% of total supply (150 million tokens).
- Absolute ceiling: 25% - a hard limit that not even the protocol team can raise.
If your initial buy would exceed the cap, the launch simply doesn't go through.
Holding a large slice of your own token isn't hidden from anyone: it shows up on the token's Holders tab from the first block.
Where your earnings go
As a creator you earn in four ways: 75% of the 1.5% fee on every curve trade, 5% of the raise at graduation, then two streams after graduation - 22.5% of every swap fee, shared with your staking vault if you gave your token one, and 75% of what your token's own graduation liquidity earns. That last one is the position locked at graduation, not anyone else's liquidity in the pool.
At launch you decide where all of that lands:
- Your wallet - the default.
- Any address you name - a multisig, a treasury, a splitter, a friend.
- A contract with your own redistribution logic - if you want the earnings shared out on your own terms rather than landing in one wallet.
The destination can be handed off later, but only by whoever currently holds it.
What actually happens when you launch
- Your token is created at its pre-determined address.
- Its future Uniswap pool is set up on the spot - dormant until graduation, but locked into its rules from day one.
- If you turned on staking, the vault is created and wired up.
- If you asked for an initial buy, it executes and the tokens land in your wallet.
- Your token appears on frontier.fun, live and tradable, with its own page.
The safety pause
The protocol team can pause new launches and curve trading as an emergency brake. Tokens that have already graduated are beyond its reach - they live on Uniswap and keep trading no matter what.
