Creating a coin
A coin is created with one transaction. There is no listing fee, no approval and no waiting list: the cost is network gas.
Two ways for a coin to reach its market
The first decision is what kind of launch it is, and it changes the shape of the coin's whole life.
| Type | What happens | Page |
|---|---|---|
| Bonding curve | The coin trades against a price formula, fills, and graduates automatically into a Uniswap V4 pool with its liquidity locked. | Curve parameters |
| Instant | No curve at all. The coin is created directly in its Uniswap V4 pool, tradable in the block that created it. | Instant launch |
A curve builds a price and a holder base before the pool exists; an instant launch starts with neither and trades immediately. Neither is the better one.
Basic or advanced
The form has two modes, switched at the top at any point.
Basic asks for the identity of the coin and little else. Everything not asked is submitted on the protocol's defaults, which are a real answer rather than a placeholder. See Basic mode.
Advanced adds three steps: the launch itself, the fees and earnings, and the modules running on the pool.
Switching between them never loses what has already been entered: basic is the same form with three steps hidden, not a different transaction.
The steps
| Step | What it decides | Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Identity | name, symbol, description, image | both |
| Socials | X, Telegram, website, shown on the coin's page | both |
| Launch | curve or instant, and the shape of the curve | advanced |
| Fees & earnings | what a swap costs, and how each fee divides | advanced |
| Extensions | the modules bound to the pool, staking vault included | advanced |
| Automations | what the launch does for you, starting with the dev buy | both |
| Review | every choice in one place before submitting | both |
Name up to 32 characters, symbol up to 16, description up to 256. A square image displays best. The factory refuses a coin whose name, symbol, description and image are all identical to an existing one, so a straight copy will not deploy.
What is permanent
Everything except the fee recipient, which the current recipient can hand on to another address.
The curve, the fee model, the LP share, the modules and the vault share are written into the coin and cannot be edited afterwards by the creator or by the protocol team.
This is why the form carries defaults on every field: a creator who wants to decide nothing gets a standard coin, and a creator who wants to decide everything gets exactly one chance to do it.
What happens when the transaction lands
- The coin is created at its predetermined address.
- Its Uniswap V4 pool is created and configured with the chosen fee model. On a curve launch it stays dormant until graduation; on an instant launch it is seeded and open in the same transaction.
- Any modules configured are deployed and wired to the pool — a staking vault, a fee recipient contract, an observer, whatever was selected.
- The automations run, if any were set. A dev buy, for instance, executes here and its coins land in the creator's wallet.
- The coin appears on frontier.fun with its own page, tradable immediately.
