Featured Launches
Featured launches let approved creators bring their own token and launch it through a custom pool with tailored settings. Submit a request from the Create page to get started.
Standard meme coin launches use a bonding curve where the token is created automatically and 100% of the supply goes onto the curve. Anyone can create one.
Featured launches are different. The creator submits a request and works with the SnowForge team to deploy a custom featured pool with configurable parameters like fee rates, buy limits, and token allocation. The creator keeps a percentage of the token supply and seeds the pool with initial AVAX liquidity. Featured pools are visually distinguished with an orange "Featured" badge on the discover page and memescope.
1. Submit a request
Go to the Create page and select "Featured Launch". Fill in your token details (name, symbol, description, image) along with your socials and a message to the team. You can only have one active request at a time — wait for the team to respond before submitting another.
2. Team reviews your request
The team reviews your submission and may reach out via the built-in messaging system. You can check your request status and exchange messages from the "View My Requests" button on the Create page. Statuses include Pending, Reviewing, Approved, and Rejected.
3. Team deploys the pool
Once approved, the team creates a launch preset and deploys a FeaturedPool contract on-chain with your agreed settings. You'll receive a unique launch link tied to your wallet address.
4. Fund and launch
Open your launch link, confirm your token details, and provide the initial AVAX liquidity. When you confirm the transaction, the token is created and the pool goes live. Your configured percentage of the token supply is sent directly to your wallet.
5. Users trade on the pool
Once live, anyone can buy and sell on your featured pool just like a bonding curve pool. Trading appears in the terminal and on the pool page with real-time price updates. Your pool will display an orange "Featured" badge to stand out.
6. Graduation to DEX
When conditions are met, the pool migrates to the chosen DEX (currently LFJ). The collected liquidity is deposited into a trading pair and the LP tokens are permanently burned so the liquidity can never be pulled. After graduation, trading continues on the DEX.
Featured launches can include an exclusive trading window at the start (5 minutes by default). During this window, each wallet is limited to a maximum buy amount to prevent any single buyer from grabbing a large share of the supply early.
The exclusive period also includes built-in sniper protection and anti-bot measures. All buys during this window require a server-signed authorization, which prevents automated bots from front-running the launch.
After the exclusive period ends, buy limits are lifted and the pool is open for normal trading.
The following settings are configured by the team when setting up your launch:
- Creator token percentage: how much of the total supply goes to your wallet
- Trading fee: the fee charged on each trade (default 1%)
- Exclusive period duration: how long the buy-limited window lasts
- Max buy amount: per-wallet buy cap during the exclusive period
- Graduation DEX: which DEX the pool migrates to (LFJ, Pharaoh coming soon)
- Auto-migrate: whether the pool graduates automatically
After submitting a featured launch request, it moves through the following statuses:
- Pending: your request is waiting for team review
- Reviewing: the team is actively looking at your request and may message you
- Approved: your request has been approved and a launch preset is being prepared
- Rejected: the request was not approved — check messages for details
You can only have one active request (pending, reviewing, or approved) at a time. Once a request is resolved, you can submit a new one.
Head to the Create page and select "Featured Launch" to submit your request. The team will review your submission, discuss your requirements through the built-in messaging system, and configure everything on your behalf. Once your pool is set up, you'll receive a unique link to fund and launch.
