# Launch a token

> For creators — configure a sale and ship it.

HyperPad mints a fresh, fixed-supply token for your sale — one signed transaction to go live.

<Card title="Want every knob? Read the technical docs" icon="sliders" href="/projects/overview">
  Pricing modes, multi-phase whitelists, buyer & team vesting, anti-snipe, LP lock and more — the
  **For Projects** section documents every option in depth.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect on the EVM rail">
    Open the [app](https://hyperpad.fun), switch to the EVM rail, connect a
    wallet with some HYPE for gas.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Define your token">
    Set name, ticker, and supply. HyperPad mints it fresh with **no further mint rights**, so the cap
    you set is the cap that exists.

    <Note>
      The contracts also support **bringing your own ERC-20**, but that path isn't enabled in the app
      yet — today the launchpad mints a new token for every sale.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the sale">
    * **Price** — how much HYPE per token.
    * **Soft / hard cap** — the minimum to launch and the ceiling to stop at.
    * **Phases** *(optional)* — ordered price tiers, each with a rising cap, so early buyers pay less.
    * **Duration** — how long the sale stays open.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional: vest the team">
    Lock a team allocation behind a cliff + linear vesting. The clock starts when trading opens, so
    you're aligned with buyers from block one.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch & settle">
    Sign to go live. When the sale ends or fills, hit **finalize** — liquidity locks on HyperSwap and
    claims open automatically.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  **Unsold supply is always burned.** This is a platform policy you can't switch off — it's what keeps a
  fair launch fair. Size your sale to the supply you actually want circulating.
</Warning>

<Tip>
  Once liquidity is live, your project can [claim the LP's trading fees](/evm/lp-and-fees) anytime — a
  real revenue stream, not a one-time raise.
