Launch a token

• Name: up to 32 characters.
• Ticker: capital letters A to Z and digits 0 to 9, up to 10 characters.
• Image (required): connect your wallet, then drop or choose a picture. Square works best. The original image is recorded at launch and never changes.
• Character (optional, up to 280 characters): a short description of your coin's personality. Its AI character is built from it.

Name, ticker, image and character are permanent once the coin is launched.

Names and tickers that look like GEKKO are reserved for the official GEKKO coin and cannot be used.

The Preview card on the right shows exactly how your coin will look on the homepage as you type.

You can buy your own coin inside the launch transaction itself, at the opening price, so nobody can buy in ahead of you.

• Enter an amount in the coin's pair asset: ETH, or TSLA for a coin paired with TSLA. The form shows the tokens you would receive, the share of supply, and a minimum you will receive.
• The first buy is capped at 200,000,000 tokens, 20% of supply. If your amount would buy more, the form tells you, uses only what is needed for the cap, and returns the rest in the same transaction.
• The cap applies only to this first buy. It does not limit what you can buy or hold later.
• If the price would give you less than the minimum shown, the whole launch is refused and nothing is spent.

Closed by default. Its header always shows what is set.

• Holder Rewards: share part of your creator fee with holders. Choose Off, 10%, 25%, 50%, 100% or a custom value. It can be raised later and never lowered. See Creator rewards.
• Holder Reward Commitment: promise up to 3 future increases of the holder share, each on a whole number of days after launch (from Day 1 to Day 365). A commitment is permanent: it can never be removed, delayed or lowered.
• Fee Recipient Wallet: your wallet receives your creator fees by default. You can name a different wallet instead; that wallet must accept within 7 days. See Fee Recipient Wallet.

The summary shows the launch fee, your first buy, the total, your Holder Rewards and where your fees will go.

• Tick the Creator Wallet confirmation. It confirms you understand that the Creator Wallet can never be changed, and that losing access to it means losing your creator controls (raising Holder Rewards and changing the Fee Recipient Wallet). Trading fees keep flowing either way.
• If you chose 100% Holder Rewards, now or through a commitment, a second confirmation appears. At 100% you keep nothing of your creator fee share from that point on.

Anything still missing is listed in small red text above the button. Click a line to jump to that field.

Press Review launch. GEKKO reads every value from the chain again and simulates the launch before your wallet opens. The review shows your Creator Wallet, the full addresses involved, your coin's details, your settings, and the exact ETH the transaction sends.

Press Sign and launch, then confirm in your wallet.

The success screen shows your coin's address and what your first buy received. Press View coin page. For the first few moments the page may say your coin is live on chain and being added; it turns into the full coin page by itself, usually within a minute.

From the coin page you can share the link, watch trades arrive, and use your creator controls.
