# Plan your launch

> Choose the token setup, distribution, vesting, profile control, announcements, and optional airdrop claim tools that fit your launch.

o1 Launchpad provides the core pieces needed to create a token and open its permanent onchain market. Supply distribution, vesting, and the profile-editing choice are committed at launch, so creators and communities can understand the setup before trading begins.

## Built-in launch options

## A practical launch flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Choose the market">
    Select the chain and quote currency. The quote determines the market pair, opening-price configuration, creation fee, and currency used for swap-fee claims.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Design the distribution">
    Decide how much supply enters the pool and whether any recipients receive immediate or vested allocations. All allocations are deducted from the fixed 1 billion token supply. o1 recommends leaving at least 25% in permanent liquidity.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose profile control">
    Keep profile information fixed or allow the creator wallet to edit it. This choice never allows new tokens to be created, transfers to be paused, the token to be upgraded, or liquidity to be removed.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the economics">
    Confirm the opening-price assumption, approximate FDV, creation fee, base swap fee, fee recipients, and 16-second anti-snipe schedule shown by the application.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch and communicate">
    Sign from the creator wallet, wait for confirmation, then use the token page and announcement registry to share updates with the community.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Distribution examples

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Community launch">
    Place most or all of the supply into permanent liquidity. Add a small set of immediate community or partner allocations only when needed.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Team and treasury">
    Send a treasury allocation directly to its destination and place contributor allocations into staircase vesting. Recipients and schedules are public from launch.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Creator-led launch">
    Keep the pool as the primary distribution path, enable creator announcements, and use referrals to attribute community-driven trading activity.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Optional airdrop claim tool

A team can fund a compatible Merkle claim contract through an immediate allocation, then publish its eligibility list and claim instructions. Review the claim contract, eligibility process, expiry, and unclaimed-token rules before launch. These rules control the airdrop only; the launch market remains open to everyone.

## Before you launch

* review every allocation recipient and amount;
* review the projected pool share and any low-coverage warning;
* confirm that each vesting schedule ends at 100%;
* enable profile editing only when ongoing updates are needed;
* check the selected quote, opening-price assumption, approximate FDV, creation fee, and fee split;
* confirm the creator and referral addresses;
* open the final transaction details in the wallet before signing;
* publish the token address, pool, allocations, and vesting terms after confirmation.
