Creating a token
Choose Launch token and enter:
| Field | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Token name | Required, up to 64 bytes onchain |
| Ticker | Required, up to 12 bytes onchain |
| Image | Optional |

The form accepts a PNG representation of your image, up to 512 Γ 512 pixels and 1 MiB. Links must use HTTPS. X links must point to X or Twitter, and Telegram links must use t.me.
Every token has a fixed supply of 1 billion, with 18 decimals.
To launch:
- Connect your wallet and open the launch form.
- Enter the token details and check your image and links.
- Confirm the transaction locking 5 HYPE as the creator bond.
- Complete any HyperEVM delivery prompt and wait for confirmation on Elysium.
- Open your token from Explore to view its curve and trading page.
The 5 HYPE is refundable under the bond rules below. Network gas is charged separately. There is no additional nonrefundable token-creation fee.
The token's metadata reference is set at creation and has no update function. Check your details before signing. Uploading an image alone does not launch a token.
Token allocation#
| Allocation | Share of supply | What happens to it |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding curve | 70%, or 700 million tokens | Buyers purchase tokens from this inventory. The unsold remainder becomes spot liquidity at graduation. |
| Creator | 10%, or 100 million tokens | Held until graduation, then transferred to the creator's wallet. |
| Short lending | 20%, or 200 million tokens | Deposited into the token lending vault at graduation. |
The curve does not sell its entire 70% allocation before graduation. It retains tokens to pair with USDC in the spot pool.
The creator's 10% allocation has no vesting period after graduation. The creator can transfer or sell it. Launch tokens have no additional mint, transfer-tax or freeze function.
