Launch a token
Go from idea to live market in one transaction, and see what you and your holders earn before you sign.
Launching on ubi.fun takes one form and one transaction. There is no launch fee, no code to write, and no approval process. One transaction creates the token, its Uniswap v4 market, locked liquidity, its creator vault, and your revenue stream. The app simulates it before your wallet asks you to sign, so a launch that would fail never costs you gas.
What every launch gets
- A fixed supply of 100 billion tokens, the same for every USDC-paired coin, no exceptions. A v3 token has a fixed supply of 1 billion.
- A live market at a $10,000 starting market cap, tradable from the first block.
- Liquidity locked in the protocol. There is no liquidity to pull; the market cannot be rugged out from under its holders.
- A creator vault that pays you, and pays everyone holding your token, in USDC from every trade.
- Membership in the platform economy: 13% of every fee (12.35% when a trade names a referrer) funds the daily USDC pool for eligible UBI holders, automatically (the v2 fee split).
The three choices that decide the money
Every trade of your token pays a fee. Three settings decide how big it is and where it goes. All three are permanent.
- Trading fee: 1.5% to 5%. What every buy and sell pays. A higher fee pays everyone more, you included, but makes each trade a little more expensive for traders. Whatever the fee, 77% of it goes to you, your holders and the buyback (the v2 fee split).
- Holder dividends: a sixth of your earnings, up to all of it. The share of your earnings paid to everyone holding your token, in USDC, over 24 hours. Holders who earn from holding have a reason to keep holding.
- Auto buyback: 0% to 10%. The share of your stream that buys your coin back and burns it. See Auto buyback and the floor.
Here is what three common setups pay per $10M traded, each with the default 10% auto buyback and no referrer, which is how most trades arrive:
| Default | Balanced | Holders first | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trading fee | 1.5% | 3% | 5% |
| Holder dividends | 16.67% | 25% | 50% |
| You earn | $88,900 | $160,000 | $177,800 |
| Your holders earn | $17,800 | $53,300 | $177,800 |
| Buyback and burn | $8,800 | $17,700 | $29,500 |
| Eligible UBI holders | $19,500 | $39,000 | $65,000 |
| Protocol | $15,000 | $30,000 | $50,000 |
For the same trade on another launchpad, at the same cost to traders, see How ubi.fun compares.
Figures are rounded and apply from October 7, 2026; the default holder share is 16.67%.
With a referrer (optional): when an app names a referrer on a trade, it takes 5% of the fee first and every row above is 5% smaller. Default then pays you $84,400 and your holders $16,900, with $7,500 to the referrer. The preview in the launch form has a With a referrer switch to show both.
There is no wrong answer. Default keeps trading cheap and pays you about a third more than creators earned here before vaults. Balanced pays you about 1.8 times as much and your holders about three times as much. Holders first pays your holders as much as you, which is a strong signal to a community. The launch form shows these numbers live for your exact settings before you sign.
Launching, step by step
-
Name it and add an image. Pick a name, a ticker, and upload artwork (up to 5MB, pinned to IPFS). Descriptions and social links are optional.
-
Set the money. Open Earnings & launch settings, then pick your trading fee, holder dividends, and auto buyback. The preview below the controls shows where every trade’s fee goes.
-
Optional: turn on Anti-sniper mode. For a window you pick (15, 30, or 60 minutes), 60% of supply sells at the fixed launch price, so bots gain nothing by being first. The chart stays flat during the window because that is the protection working. See Anti-sniper mode.
-
Optional: split your earnings. Add up to 4 wallets, or X handles like
@jack, that share what you keep after holder dividends. You keep the remainder automatically. See Splitting earnings. -
Review and launch. The app simulates the exact transaction first, then your wallet signs. When it confirms you land on your coin’s live market page.
After the launch
Your earnings and your holders’ dividends build up with every trade. Our harvest bot moves them into your vault automatically; you claim yours on the token page with Claim, and holders withdraw theirs on the same page. Details in Creator vaults and holder dividends.
What launching costs
Nothing but gas. Gas on Arc is paid in USDC, so the cost of a launch is a few cents of stablecoin. There is no platform launch fee at the standard $10,000 starting market cap.
