Create a Token

Anyone can create a new token on the XYZ Launchpad by paying the creation fee. Your token launches with a bonding curve and is immediately tradeable.

​
Prerequisites

  • An XYZ Chain wallet (Keplr, Leap, or XYZ Wallet)
  • At least 80,000 XYZ for the creation fee (check the current fee in the launchpad UI)

​
Step-by-Step Guide

​
What Happens on Creation

When you create a token, the launchpad contract:
  1. Collects the creation fee as initial XYZ reserves for the curve
  2. Instantiates a new CW20 token contract with 100,000,000 token supply (6 decimals)
  3. Holds all tokens in the launchpad contract (released via buys)
  4. Creates and indexes a bonding curve for the new token

​
Contract Message

For developers integrating directly, the create token message is:
Funds required: [{ "denom": "uxyz", "amount": "<creation_fee_in_uxyz>" }]
Query the launchpad contract’s Config endpoint to get the current creation fee:
The creation_fee field returns the fee in uxyz (e.g., "80000000000" = 80,000 XYZ).

​
Token Name & Symbol Cooldown

To prevent rapid spam and name squatting, the launchpad enforces an 8-hour cooldown on token names and symbols. If someone creates a token named “DOGE”, no one else can create another token with that same name or symbol for 8 hours. The check is case-insensitive.

​
Max Wallet Limit

The launchpad enforces a max wallet holding limit (currently 3% of total supply). A single wallet cannot hold more than 3% of a token’s supply through buys on the bonding curve. This prevents whales from accumulating outsized positions during the early bonding phase.

​
Creator Benefits

As the token creator, your token gets visibility on the launchpad and automatic graduation to the AMM. Currently, all trading fees (0.5% buy, 2.5% sell) go to LP reserves. A creator fee share parameter exists on-chain but is set to 0% at this time.
