Launching a token
Go to robinhood.qian.ag/launch (or the equivalent /launch page on base.qian.ag / ethereum.qian.ag). One form, one transaction, and your token is live and tradable.
What you fill in
Chain. Robinhood Chain, Base, or Ethereum. The launch works the same on each; the difference is gas cost and where your audience trades. Robinhood Chain gas is near zero, Base is cheap, Ethereum mainnet gas can exceed the deploy fee itself.
Name, symbol, image, description. The image and description are pinned to IPFS and stored on the token contract itself (tokenURI()), so explorers and third-party indexers can read your metadata without depending on Qian.
Pool version, V3 or V4.
- V3 is the classic launch: token plus locked liquidity, with one fixed, standard trading fee.
- V4 lets you choose your fee from the range on the launch form. Pick V4 if you want to set your own rate. See Creator fees.
The choice is permanent. A pool's version and its fee can never change after launch.
Liquidity tier. This sets your token's starting price and market cap:
| Tier | Starting market cap |
|---|---|
| 1 (default) | 1 ETH (3 BNB on BSC) |
| 2 | 2 ETH (6 BNB) |
| 3 | 5 ETH (15 BNB) |
| 4 | 10 ETH (30 BNB) |
On BSC the tiers are set in BNB at roughly the same dollar values. A higher tier means a higher starting price and a "heavier" chart: more value must flow in to move the price the same percentage. Tier 1 fits most launches. (Market cap here means fully diluted: price × total supply.)
Dev buy (optional). You can buy your own token in the same transaction as the launch, before anyone else can. It's priced like any other buy, nothing extra.
What it costs
- The deploy fee shown on the launch form, plus whatever you spend on the dev buy.
- Gas: near zero on Robinhood Chain, cheap on Base, market rate on Ethereum.
What happens on-chain
One transaction: the factory deploys your token (full 1B supply), creates the Uniswap pool, deposits the entire supply as liquidity at your chosen tier, and hands the LP position to the QianLocker for good. Your token page at qian.ag/<chain>/token/<address> is live seconds later, chart and all.
Your token is already verified
Every launched token shares identical bytecode with the verified QianToken contract, so the explorer shows your token's full source code from block one.
