It collects the token's identity, its launch mode, its dividend settings, then deploys the contract. This page describes each step. ### Step 1 — Token Set the token's basic identity: * **Name** — the full name of the token. * **Symbol** — its ticker. * **Total supply** — the fixed number of tokens that will ever exist. * **Image** — the token's logo or avatar. * **Description** — a short description of what the token is. * **Socials** — links to Twitter/X, Telegram, or a website. Name and symbol are how your token appears on the [board](/for-traders/the-board.md). They are not unique — anyone can launch a token with any name — so they are an identity, not a trademark. Choose something legible and honest. ### Step 2 — Launch mode Choose how the token opens: * **Bonding curve** — the token starts on a [curve](/core-concepts/the-bonding-curve.md) and [graduates](/core-concepts/graduation.md) to a HyperSwap pool when the curve target is reached. No upfront liquidity required. * **Direct liquidity** — you seed a HyperSwap pool immediately, and the token opens straight onto the market. See [launch modes](/for-creators/launch-modes.md) for the trade-offs between the two. ### Step 3 — Dividends Configure how the token's dividend tax works: * **Reward asset** — what the token pays dividends in. The wizard offers a curated list of well-known HyperEVM assets — HYPE, major stablecoins, and supported tokenized stocks — and the option to supply a **custom token address**. If you supply a custom address, the wizard checks that it is a real deployed contract and warns you when the asset has no liquid path for the protocol to convert into it. See [choosing a reward asset](/for-creators/choosing-a-reward-asset.md). * **Dividend tax** — a slider from 1% to 10% (default 5%). This percentage is taken from every trade and distributed as dividends. All other token transfers are unaffected. * **Creator / Holders split** — a slider that sets what share of the dividend tax goes to you (the creator) versus your holders. The two values always sum to 100%. Default is 50% creator / 50% holders. Any ratio from 0% / 100% to 100% / 0% is valid. All three choices are permanent. Confirm them deliberately. ### Step 4 — Review and confirm The wizard shows you the final configuration: token identity, launch mode, reward asset, dividend tax, and creator/holders split, plus the cost. Review it carefully — the permanent choices cannot be undone. When you confirm, you sign the launch transaction and pay the 0.5 HYPE launch fee (plus gas, and for direct liquidity, the liquidity you are providing). ### After deploying The token contract is created and your token appears on the board. From the first trade — whether on the bonding curve or on the open market — the dividend tax is active and paying out. Continue to [after launch](/for-creators/after-launch.md) for what to do once the token is live, and to [economics](/for-creators/economics-and-fees.md) to understand how value flows to you and your holders.

GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.div.fun/for-creators/the-launch-wizard.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
