Basic mode
Basic mode is the creation form with three steps hidden: Launch, Fees & earnings and Extensions. What remains is the coin's identity, its socials, the automations and the review.
Nothing is dropped from what gets submitted. A basic launch is the advanced form on its defaults, so switching to advanced at any point simply shows the values that were already going to be sent.
What a basic launch runs on
| Decision | The default it takes |
|---|---|
| Launch type | a bonding curve, graduating automatically into a Uniswap V4 pool |
| Curve shape | the protocol's suggested starting market cap and raise target, see Curve parameters |
| Swap fee | the dynamic fee, stepping from 0.30% in calm markets to 1.20% when the price moves hard |
| LP share | 70% of every swap fee to liquidity providers, the rest split 75% creator and community, 25% protocol |
| Modules | none beyond the fee behaviour: no staking vault, no observers |
| Fee recipient | the creator's own wallet |
| Dev buy | none, unless one is entered on the Automations step |
Every one of those is permanent once the transaction lands, exactly as if it had been chosen by hand.
When basic is the right answer
Most coins. The defaults are the configuration the protocol recommends, and a coin launched on them is a standard Frontier coin: a fair curve, a fee that adapts to its market, and the creator's income landing in the creator's wallet.
Advanced mode is worth the extra three steps when a coin needs something specific: a different curve, a fee model of its own, a share of the income going to holders, or modules bound to the pool. None of that can be added later, so it is worth a look at the advanced steps before submitting even if the answer is to leave them alone.
