# Launch a token

Launching on Chimpx is fast.

You pay **1 APE**, create the token, and the market opens right away.

Every launch follows the same rules:

* no presale
* no team allocation
* no private round
* full supply starts in the public launch flow

### Before you launch

Have these ready:

* your wallet
* enough APE for the **1 APE** launch fee
* extra APE for gas
* a token name and ticker

You can also add:

* a short description
* a token image
* website, X, and Telegram links
* an optional first buy

### Launch flow

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Connect your wallet

Open Chimpx and connect the wallet you want to use.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Fill in token details

Add your token name, ticker, image, and socials.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose an optional first buy

You can buy your token at launch.

This uses the same curve as everyone else. There is no creator-only price.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Confirm the launch

Review the **1 APE** fee and approve the wallet prompt.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Go live

Once confirmed, your token appears in the app and starts trading immediately.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Fees and rewards

* **1 APE** to launch
* **0.75%** platform fee on bonding curve buys
* **0.75%** platform fee on bonding curve sells
* **+10 XP** for each launch

{% hint style="info" %}
The launch fee does not include network gas.
{% endhint %}

### Best practices

* keep the name clean and readable
* upload a clear image
* add socials before launch if you want more trust

### After launch

Trading starts on the bonding curve right away.

If the token reaches **14,228 APE** raised, it graduates to Camelot automatically.

### Next steps

Read [Buy and sell tokens](/buy-and-sell-tokens.md) to understand trading.
