Getting Started with Unilaunch
Welcome to Unilaunch. This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to create your first token, set up liquidity for it, and manage it safely — even if you have never used a token creation platform before. Take your time reading through each section, and don't worry if some of the terms are new to you: we explain each concept as it comes up.
Before You Start
There are a few things you'll need in place before you can use Unilaunch. Getting these ready first will make the rest of the process much smoother.
A self-custodial wallet
To use Unilaunch, you need a self-custodial wallet — a wallet where only you hold the private keys, and no company or exchange controls your funds. Unilaunch connects to Phantom and Solflare for Solana, and to MetaMask and Trust Wallet for the EVM chains (Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Blast, and Robinhood Chain).
If you don't already have a wallet installed, download one directly from its official website or your browser's official extension store, and follow its setup instructions carefully. During setup, you will be shown a seed phrase (usually 12 or 24 words) — write it down on paper and store it somewhere safe and private. Never type your seed phrase into any website, including Unilaunch. Your seed phrase is the only way to recover your wallet, and anyone who has it can take everything inside it.
Funds to cover fees
Every action you take on a blockchain — creating a token, creating a liquidity pool, adding liquidity, and so on — requires a small network fee (often called "gas") paid in the native currency of that blockchain, plus the Unilaunch Tool Fee for using the relevant tool. Unilaunch quotes its own fee in that same native currency:
- On Solana, you'll need SOL in your wallet.
- On Ethereum, you'll need ETH — and so do Base, Arbitrum, Blast, and Robinhood Chain, which all settle in ether.
- On BNB Chain, you'll need BNB.
- On Polygon, you'll need POL.
- On Avalanche, you'll need AVAX.
We recommend having a bit more than you think you'll need in your wallet, since network fees can vary depending on how busy the network is at the time.
A clear idea of your token
Before you start, it helps to know:
- The name of your token (for example, "My Awesome Token")
- Its ticker symbol (for example, "MAT")
- The total supply you want to create, and how many decimals it should have (the form takes 0-9)
- A logo image and a short description — the form asks for both before it will let you continue
- Which blockchain you want to launch it on
You don't need to have every detail finalized, but having a rough plan will make the creation process much faster.
- 1Step 1
Connect Your Wallet
- 1.Go to unilaunch.lol.
- 2.Click the "Connect Wallet" button, usually found in the top corner of the page.
- 3.Select your wallet from the list of supported options.
- 4.Your wallet extension or app will open and ask you to approve the connection. Review the request, and if everything looks correct, approve it.
Once connected, you'll see your wallet address displayed on the site, confirming that Unilaunch can now "see" your public address so it can help you build transactions — but it still cannot access your funds or private keys.
- 2Step 2
Create Your Token
Once your wallet is connected and funded, head to unilaunch.lol/create-token to begin. Creation runs in three steps: your token's details, then the optional extras, then payment.
- 1.Choose your blockchain. Nine networks are open today: Solana, Ethereum, Base, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche, Blast, and Robinhood Chain. Monad and Tempo sit at the end of the picker marked "Soon" and can't be selected yet. This choice affects which wallet you'll use, which token standard applies, and which native currency you'll need for fees.
- 2.Fill in your token details. Enter your token's name, symbol, decimals, and total supply, then add a description and upload a logo image. Decimals control how divisible your token is, and this form takes a single digit from 0 to 9 — a token with 9 decimals can be divided into billionths. Every field on this step is required before you can continue.
- 3.Configure the token. Step 2 is a list of extras you can switch on or leave alone: social links and tags, creator information, multi-wallet supply distribution across up to 10 wallets, and a liquidity pool. On the EVM chains there are three more — a transaction fee, deflation, and reflection — which Solana tokens don't have. Each card shows what it costs, and the ones you leave off cost nothing.
- 4.Choose your token capabilities. Three cards at the bottom of step 2 decide what can be done to your token later, and what they offer depends on your chain. On Solana they revoke authorities — Freeze, Mint, and Update — so no one can freeze accounts, mint more supply, or rewrite the metadata afterwards. On the EVM chains they add capabilities to the contract instead: Burnable, Mintable, and Pausable. Either way the choice is final: revoked authorities cannot be restored, and capabilities cannot be added later.
- 5.Review the total. The fee breakdown across the bottom of step 2 adds up the base creation fee and every extra you switched on, and the running total sits under the Launch Token button. Make sure your wallet holds that much of the chain's native coin, plus a little more for gas.
- 6.Pay the fee. Pressing Launch Token opens the payment step, which shows the exact amount to send and the address to send it to, with a button to copy it. Send that amount from your own wallet — check the address and the amount in your wallet before approving, since your wallet is your last line of defense against mistakes — then press Check Transaction.
- 7.Wait for confirmation. Once the payment is seen, Unilaunch confirms it has your transaction and starts the launch. The token is recorded in My Portfolio on the Liquidity Pool page right away, as Pending; when the launch resolves, the same screen offers a link straight to your token on that chain's block explorer — Solscan, Etherscan, BscScan and so on, though Robinhood Chain has no public explorer yet.
Congratulations
At this point, your token exists on a public blockchain, forever, exactly as you configured it.
- 3Step 3
Set Up a Liquidity Pool
Creating a token doesn't automatically mean people can buy or sell it anywhere. For that, you need a liquidity pool — a pool of two assets that lets people trade between them. On Unilaunch the pool is part of creating the token rather than a separate errand, and it is always paired against the native coin of the chain you launched on.
- 1.In step 2 of Create Token, switch on the Liquidity Pool option. Enabling it costs nothing.
- 2.Enter how many of your tokens go into the pool, and how much of the chain's native coin to pair them with. The ratio between the two amounts sets the initial price of your token, so think carefully about this step.
- 3.Pick the swap fee: 0.25%, 1%, 2%, or 4%. This is what traders pay per swap, split between you and the pool, and it cannot be changed once the pool is created.
- 4.Launch the token and pay as described above — the pool is funded as part of that same launch.
- 5.Once the payment is confirmed, the position appears in My Portfolio at unilaunch.lol/liquidity-pool, and people can begin trading your token against the paired coin.
You can return to unilaunch.lol/liquidity-pool at any time: Add Liquidity tops a position up and Remove Liquidity withdraws from it, subject to the rules of the underlying liquidity protocol. A token launched without a pool still appears there, at zero, and can be topped up later.
A note on liquidity
The liquidity you provide sits inside a smart contract belonging to the underlying protocol, not with Unilaunch — you remain in control of your position and can manage it at any time. Also keep in mind that if you withdraw all liquidity from a pool, people will no longer be able to trade your token through it until liquidity is added again.
- 4Step 4
Managing Your Token Over Time
Launching your token is just the beginning. Here are some things you may want to do afterward:
- Update metadata. On Solana, if you kept the update authority, you can still change your token's image, description, and links. On the EVM chains, what was written at creation is what stays.
- Monitor your liquidity pool. Keep an eye on your pool's balance and activity in My Portfolio, especially if you plan to add or remove liquidity later.
- Communicate transparently. If you revoked mint and freeze authority, consider sharing this with your community, since it's a common signal of trustworthiness.
- Keep your wallet secure. As your token gains attention, your wallet may become a target for scammers. Continue following the safety practices below.
Understanding Fees
Every action on Unilaunch involves two separate costs, and it's important to understand the difference:
The Unilaunch Tool Fee
A base creation fee plus a small amount for each extra you switch on in step 2, quoted in the chain's native coin. The Liquidity Pool and Transaction Fee options are free.
The network fee (gas)
Paid to the blockchain's validators to process your transaction, independent of Unilaunch and varying based on network activity.
If you're using a liquidity pool, there may also be protocol-level fees (such as trading or swap fees) charged by the underlying liquidity protocol itself, separate from both of the above.
Check the amount on the payment step against the amount your wallet is about to send, since once it leaves your wallet there is no way to call it back.
Safety Tips for Beginners
- Never share your seed phrase or private key with anyone, including anyone claiming to be from Unilaunch support. We will never ask for it.
- Double-check every transaction in your wallet before approving it — addresses, amounts, and token details should always match what you intended.
- Start small. If you're trying a tool for the first time, consider testing with a smaller amount before committing significant funds.
- Bookmark unilaunch.lol directly, and always check the URL carefully before connecting your wallet to any site, to avoid phishing pages designed to look like Unilaunch.
- Remember that blockchain transactions cannot be reversed. Once you confirm a transaction, there is no "undo" button — for anyone, including us.
- No tool on Unilaunch needs your private key. The multi-wallet option asks for public addresses only, and nothing on the site has a field for a seed phrase or a private key. If a page claiming to be Unilaunch asks for either, close it.
