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.

New to LAUNCH? Start with our Quick Start guide to get up and running in minutes.

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.

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.

Token Specifications (v4.0.0)

  • Total Supply: 100 billion ERC-20 tokens
  • Mintable: No - max supply is fixed at deployment
  • Burnable: Yes - via burn() function
  • Pool: Uniswap V4 with up to 7 liquidity positions
  • Extensions: Vault, Dev Buy, Airdrop (up to 90% allocation)

How Deployment Works

  1. 1.You configure your token parameters in the LAUNCH wizard
  2. 2.We call the Clanker v4 API with your configuration
  3. 3.Clanker deploys your ERC-20 contract on Base
  4. 4.A Uniswap V4 pool is created with your liquidity positions
  5. 5.MEV auction runs for ~22 seconds to protect early trading
  6. 6.Normal trading opens and your token is live

V4 Features

Vesting Vault

Trading Guide

Best practices for trading app tokens on LAUNCH and Uniswap.

Understanding Liquidity

Each app token has a Uniswap V4 liquidity pool. The pool's depth determines how much you can trade without significant price impact.

  • High liquidity (> $50K) = Lower slippage, easier to trade large amounts
  • Medium liquidity ($10K-$50K) = Moderate slippage, suitable for most trades
  • Low liquidity (< $10K) = Higher slippage, be cautious with large orders

Slippage Settings

Slippage tolerance protects you from price movements between submitting and executing your trade.

Trading Tips

  • Check price impact - Always review the estimated price impact before confirming large trades.
  • Use the Swipe feature - Quickly discover and buy promising apps with our Tinder-style interface.
  • Monitor holder count - More holders typically means more stability and organic interest.
  • Look for verified apps - Verified badges indicate the founder has proven app ownership.
