Launch a token
What you need
- A wallet that supports Robinhood Chain (for example MetaMask or Rabby). Townpad adds the network for you.
- A small amount of ETH on Robinhood Chain for the launch fee, gas and your optional opening buy.
Step by step
- Open townpad.xyz and tap Create.
- Connect your wallet and switch to Robinhood Chain when asked.
- Upload an image. It's cropped square, resized to 512 px and stripped of photo metadata before being stored on IPFS.
- Enter a name, ticker and description, and add your links (X, Telegram, Discord, website, Farcaster).
- Set your creator tax and where earnings are sent (your wallet or another address).
- Optionally turn on buybacks and set an opening buy.
- Tap Review launch, check every detail, then Launch token and confirm in your wallet.
Townpad simulates the transaction before you sign, so a launch that would fail never costs you gas.
Costs
| Item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Launch fee | Shown before you sign. Covered by Townpad from October 8, 2026 (see Free launches) |
| Network gas | Paid by you |
| Opening buy | Optional, any amount you choose |
Creator tax
The creator tax is charged on every trade on top of the protocol's base fee and is paid to you. You choose it at launch, up to the protocol's maximum, and it can never be raised afterwards. Traders see it on your token page before they buy.
Direct launches from Townpad currently depend on pons v2 access for the launching wallet. If your wallet isn't eligible yet, Townpad will tell you before you sign.
