# Launching as a project

> The full lifecycle and every lever you control on an EVM-rail launch.

This is the technical half of the docs — for teams who want to know *exactly* what they can tune. If
you just want the friendly version, the [Launch a token](/evm/launch-a-token) guide has you covered.

Everything below is what the **create form launches** — a single `createSaleWithNewToken` transaction
that mints your token and opens the sale in one shot.

## The lifecycle

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create" icon="rocket">
    One transaction mints a fixed-supply token, funds the sale + LP allocation into the sale contract,
    and routes the team remainder. The sale opens at your `startsAt`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Sale" icon="cart-shopping">
    Buyers commit the quote asset, first-come-first-served, until `endsAt` or the hard cap. Phases,
    whitelists, and per-wallet caps gate who buys at what price.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Finalize" icon="scale-balanced">
    Anyone can finalize once the sale ends **above the soft cap**. Below it, the sale cancels and
    buyers refund.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Liquidity & claims" icon="lock">
    The raise seeds a **locked HyperSwap V3 pool**, trading opens, and buyers claim (instantly or on
    your vesting schedule). Unsold tokens burn.
  </Step>
</Steps>
