# Launching a Token

Creating a coin on STABLEPAD takes about a minute. Every launch produces a real on chain token with a fixed supply and a locked liquidity pool, so there is nothing to configure around vesting or mint authority.

## What you set

Name, the full display name of your coin.

Ticker, the short symbol such as WHATIF.

Image, the logo shown on cards, the chart, and the leaderboard.

Optional details such as a banner and social links.

Optional dev buy, an initial purchase you make in the same transaction, priced in the network pair token. This gives your coin its first trade and starting price.

## What happens on launch

When you confirm, STABLEPAD deploys the token contract and seeds a single sided Uniswap v3 position on the network you chose. The full supply of one billion tokens goes into that position, paired against the network stablecoin. The liquidity is locked, which means the creator cannot pull it. From that moment the coin is tradable by anyone.

  D --> E[Live and tradable]
  B -. optional .-> F[Dev buy in pair token]

```

## Fixed supply

Every STABLEPAD coin has a fixed supply of one billion tokens. There is no hidden minting and no owner mint function, so the supply you see at launch is the supply forever, minus anything holders choose to burn later.

## Locked liquidity

The pool is locked at creation. This is the core safety property of the platform, because the most common rug happens when a creator withdraws liquidity. On STABLEPAD that path does not exist, the liquidity stays in the locked position and trading fees accrue to it.

## Picking a network

You choose the network before launching. The only practical difference is the pair token: USDT0 on Stable, USDG on Robinhood, native USDC on Arc, USDT on Ethereum, and USD1 on BNB Chain. Pick the network where your audience already holds the pair token. See Networks for details.

## After launch

Your coin appears on the Home board and can be sorted by newest. Share the coin page so people can trade it. As a creator you begin earning trading fees right away, covered on the Fees page.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.stablepad.app/using-stablepad/launching-a-token.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
