Launching a token

A possum launch is a StonkFun launch in one fixed shape, registered with possum first. The creator’s wallet pays and signs; nothing of possum’s signs.

What gets created

• Registered first. The launch form registers the new mint with possum before the transaction exists. Anyone can name possum’s treasury as a pool’s creator, so registration is what makes a token possum’s: an unregistered pool gets no rewards and no listing.
• One shape. Standard mode on StonkFun’s LaunchLab platform, the 2% fee tier, and a Token-2022 mint with 6 decimals and no transfer fee. The curve is StonkFun’s standard constant-product curve, about 14.7x from start to graduation, and a bonded token moves to a Raydium CPMM pool. Creators never choose a mode, tier or tax.
• possum’s treasury is the pool’s creator, so StonkFun forwards the creator share of every fee to possum. Where the money comes from

What the creator pays

• A mint fee of 0.25 SOL to possum’s treasury, in the launch transaction. It goes back to the creator at milestone 1; if the token never gets there, possum keeps it. Launching junk costs something, and a real launch costs nothing.
• A dev buy in the same transaction, so the creator buys first. The smallest dev buy is 0.01 SOL or 5 STONK, or $1 worth of a custom pair (Custom pairs).
• The reserved slice. The same transaction buys 2% of supply into possum’s drop wallet, never more than 10%. At milestone 1 the slice is dropped on other tokens’ holders and its cost goes back to the creator; if milestone 1 can no longer come, the slice is burned. Neighborhood drops
• StonkFun’s own cost of creating a pool, as for any launch there.

Tickers

• Up to 10 letters and digits. Lookalike characters (Cyrillic, Greek, accented, fullwidth) fold into plain Latin, so a lookalike is the same ticker.
• A ticker a launch has used is burned for 1 day.
• A ticker held by a token above $250,000 market cap is protected, and the form points to that token instead. Only tickers that reached the bar are protected, so nobody is sent to a bundler’s copy.
• These rules bind possum’s launch form. A copy can still launch directly on StonkFun.
