Create a Presale Campaign

This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough on how to create a presale campaign for your token using the ElectroSwap Launchpad. Follow these steps to set up your presale, raise funds, and launch your token with crowd-sourced liquidity. No coding skills are required!

A presale allows you to sell tokens before adding liquidity. Proceeds from sales are used to create a liquidity pool with the remaining token supply.

Step 1: Navigate to Create Presale​

  1. Navigate to Launchpad Central by clicking on the "Launchpad" link in the navigation bar.
  2. Click "Create Presale" or navigate directly by clicking here.
  3. Review the input fields described in more detail below.

Step 2: Choose Token Type​

Toggle Use a custom token:

  • Enabled: Provide an existing token address. Name, symbol, and decimals will auto-populate. This option requires ElectroSwap approval before presale becomes active
  • Disabled: A new token will be generated for you using the fields you populate below.

Step 3: Token Information​

  1. Token Name: Enter or confirm the full name (e.g., "My Project Token"). Must be 25 characters or less.
  2. Token Symbol: Enter or confirm the ticker (e.g., "MPT"). Must be 2-6 uppercase letters or numbers.
  3. Token Supply / Tokens to Transfer: Specify the total supply (for new tokens) or amount to transfer (for custom). Must be positive and not exceed your balance if custom.

Step 4: Fundraising Goals​

  1. Presale Allocation: Set the percentage of supply to sell during presale (50-67%).
    • A higher value will result in a higher price per token at the time of launch. This may result in increased volatility.
    • Remaining allocation is added as liquidity.
  2. Minimum ETN Needed to Launch: Set the minimum ETN to raise.
    • If not met, presale fails to launch and contributors are refunded.
    • If met, a liquidity pool will be created and the token will be tradable on ElectroSwap
    • To qualify for ElectroSwap's default token list, this value should meet or exceed the displayed minimum needed to list.
  3. ETN Contribution: Your initial ETN amount to contribute (buy your own tokens).
    • Must be between calculated min and max.

Step 5: Affiliate Program (Optional)​

  • If enabled, set Affiliate Allocation (1-5%) of raised ETN for referral rewards.

Step 6: Presale Timing​

  1. Start Time: When contributions can begin (defaults to 1 hour from now).
  2. End Time: When presale ends (defaults to 14 days after start).
    • Must be after start and meet minimum duration.
