# Launch Steps

Launching with LIVO isn’t just about deploying a token — it’s about starting a journey from concept to community-backed success.\
Here’s how to bring your project to life on the LIVO Launchpad:

### **Step 1 – Connect Your Wallet to Livo.trade**

* Connect your preferred Ethereum wallet (e.g., MetaMask, Rabby, Coinbase Wallet).
* This is your **creator identity -** all deployment and fee transactions will be tied to this address.\
  Your wallet address becomes the on-chain signature of your project, establishing authenticity from the very first transaction.

### **Step 2 – Fill In Token Creation Details**

* **Token Name** and **Symbol:**
  * These are immutable once deployed, so choose something that reflects your brand and vision
  * **Pro Tip:** *memorable* names and *short* symbols tend to perform better in the market.
* **Token Logo**:
  * Upload your token image or logo (recommended 512x512px PNG with transparent background).
  * **Note:** The image uploaded during deployment cannot be modified.
* **Social Links (Optional)**
  * Add optional links to:
    * Twitter/X
    * Telegram
    * Website
  * **Why it matters:** Strong branding and clear communication channels help build early trust and community engagement.

### Step 3 - Configure Your Liquidity

Configure your post-graduation phase in one of three ways:

* **No LP fees**
  * Graduates the token to Uniswap V2.
  * The token creator does not earn any LP fees. Traders are still charged the native Uniswap V2. fees (0.3%), which stay locked in the liquidity pair.
  * For community projects.
* **Creator LP fees**
  * Graduates the token to Uniswap V4 with a custom hook.
  * The custom hook collects 1% LP fees on buys & sells.
  * The collected LP fees are split 50%/50% between the token creator and the Treasury.
  * The collected ETH fees (from LP and graduation) can be claimed by the token creator on their profile page.
* **Creator LP fees + Tax Collection Period**
  * Graduates the token to Uniswap V4 with a custom hook.
  * The custom hook collects 1% LP fees on buys & sells.
  * Activates a 14-day tax collection period after graduation.
  * Buys and sells on Uniswap can each collect up to 5% tax in ETH
  * Buy and sell taxes are configured independently.
  * Collected taxes accrue to the creator in ETH, who should claim. 

### **Step 4 – Deploy**

* Sign the transaction in your wallet
* There is no fee to deploy a token besides the gas :sunglasses:

**Behind the scenes:**<br>

* Your token smart contract is deployed as a minimal proxy pattern (immutable) to save gas on deploying the token
* Until graduation, it can only be traded through the Livo Launchpad platform, following the bonding curve.
* The token is automatically configured to deploy liquidity to Uniswap V2 or V4 depending on your deployment configuration

## What Comes Next

### **Step 5 – Bonding Curve Phase: Build Your Vibe**

* Price discovery happens organically through bonding curve mechanics.
* Promote your project to attract early backers.

**Goal:** Reach your **Graduation Criteria** — e.g., 3.75 ETH collected — to unlock migration to Uniswap.

### **Step 6 – Graduate to Uniswap**

* Receive 0.05 ETH at graduation.
* Liquidity is deployed in Uniswap V2 or V4,
  * 3.5 ETH + 285 M tokens of liquidity (28.5 % of the total supply).
* LP tokens are sent to a **non-accessible address**, making liquidity effectively permanent.
  * If you deployed with LP creator fees, claim your LP fees form the profile page
  * If deployed with tax-period, claim accrued ETH from the profile page

### **Step 7 – Open Market Opportunity**

Your token is now live on Uniswap:

* Tradeable by anyone
* Protected by permanent liquidity
* Supported by ongoing trading fee incentives

**From here:**\
Focus on growing your community, expanding utility, and delivering on your project vision.
