Introduction to LAUNCH

LAUNCH is the first marketplace for tokenized mobile applications. We enable app founders to convert their apps into tradeable ERC-20 tokens, creating a new asset class backed by real metrics and revenue.

For Founders

Raise capital without giving up equity. Let your users become investors.

For Investors

Invest in apps you love. Trade tokens backed by real performance metrics.

How It Works

LAUNCH uses Clanker to deploy ERC-20 tokens on Base, creating instant liquidity pools for each tokenized app.

1

Verify Ownership

Connect your Apple Developer or Google Play Console account. We use OAuth to verify you own the app you're listing.

2

Configure Tokenomics

Set your total supply, initial market cap, founder allocation, and vesting schedule. We provide sensible defaults based on your app's metrics.

3

Deploy via Clanker

One click deploys your token contract and creates a liquidity pool on Uniswap V4. Your token is immediately tradeable.

4

Trade & Grow

Users can buy and sell your app tokens. As your app grows, token value is tied to real metrics like downloads, revenue, and DAU.

Quick Start

Get your app tokenized in under 5 minutes.

Connect your wallet

Any EVM wallet works. We recommend Coinbase Wallet or MetaMask.

Paste your App Store or Play Store link

We'll automatically pull in your app's name, icon, category, and metrics.

Verify ownership (optional)

Connect your developer account for a verified badge and access to real metrics.

Set tokenomics & deploy

Choose your initial market cap and allocation, then deploy with one click.

Listing Your App

The listing process is designed to be simple while ensuring quality.

Requirements

  • Your app must be live on the App Store or Google Play Store

Tokenomics Guide

Understanding the key parameters when tokenizing your app.

Total Supply

The total number of tokens that will ever exist. Standard is 100,000,000. This is fixed at deployment and cannot be changed.

Initial Market Cap

The starting valuation of your token in ETH. This determines the initial token price. We recommend 5-20 ETH for most apps.

Founder Allocation

Percentage of tokens reserved for the founder team. Recommended: 15-25%. These tokens are subject to vesting.

Vesting Period

How long founder tokens are locked before becoming transferable. Standard periods are 12, 24, or 36 months with linear unlock.

Clanker Integration

LAUNCH uses Clanker v4.0.0 for trustless token deployment on Base.

What is Clanker?

Clanker is a token deployment protocol on Base that creates ERC-20 tokens with built-in Uniswap V4 liquidity pools. It's used by hundreds of projects for fair, instant token launches with advanced features like MEV protection, vesting vaults, and airdrops.

  • Total Supply: 100 billion ERC-20 tokens
