Fair Launch Tokens: How They Work and How to Create One

Fair Launch Tokens: How They Work and How to Create One

•By CreateMyToken Team

Tired of sketchy token launches with secret pre-sales and team dumps? Fair launch is the antidote, it's exactly what it sounds like. No pre-mine, no team allocations, no insider advantages. When you create a fair launch token with CreateMyToken, 100% of the supply goes straight into a DEX liquidity pool, and everyone (yes, even you as the creator) has to buy from the same pool at market price.

What makes a token launch "fair"?

Think of it as the complete opposite of those shady launches you see everywhere:

  • Zero insider advantage: All tokens are created at launch and immediately put into a DEX pool, no secret stashes
  • Clean contracts: Plain ERC 20 tokens with no sneaky owner controls, minting abilities, or pause functions
  • Market decides: Price discovery happens organically through the DEX from the very first trade
  • Creator gets no freebies: Want some tokens? Buy them like everyone else (though you can optionally make the first purchase)

Fair Launch Token

Here's what happens under the hood: CreateMyToken deploys your ERC 20 token and immediately pairs it with the chain's native token (like ETH on Base) in a V3 DEX pool. The liquidity gets locked in there permanently, and boom your token is tradable from the get-go.

The magic behind our fair launch

We've engineered this to be ridiculously simple for you, but there's actually some sophisticated stuff happening behind the scenes. When you hit deploy, we bundle everything into one atomic transaction that:

  1. Deploys your token: Clean ERC 20, no owner backdoors
  2. Creates the DEX pool: Works with Uniswap V3, PancakeSwap V3, and other major V3 DEXs
  3. Dumps all tokens into liquidity: Every single token goes into the pool, no exceptions
  4. Executes your first buy: If you want some tokens, we can automatically buy them for you at launch

The cool part? We calculate a sensible starting price based on your target market cap and handle all the technical DEX requirements (like tick spacing). You sign one transaction, and everything happens atomically — no room for MEV bots or other shenanigans.

Where can you fair launch?

We support fair launches on pretty much every major EVM chain that has decent V3 DEX infrastructure:

  • Base, Ethereum, Optimism, Arbitrum, Polygon: Using Uniswap V3
  • BNB Smart Chain: Using PancakeSwap V3
  • Plus more: If there's a solid V3 DEX, we probably support it

Don't worry about compatibility, our interface will only show you the "Deploy" button on chains where fair launch actually works. No guessing games.

What you actually need to decide

Fair launch keeps things simple, just a few key decisions:

  • Token basics: Name, symbol, and how many tokens to create (we stick with 18 decimals)
  • Starting market cap: This determines your initial price, don't go crazy here
  • First buy: Want to grab some tokens at launch? Set how much ETH (or native token) to spend

Notice what's missing? All those sketchy owner controls like minting, pausing, and fee mechanisms. We deliberately exclude them to keep things fair and trustworthy.

Let's launch your fair token

Ready to do this? Here's the step-by-step:

  1. Head to our Fair Launch creator
  2. Connect your wallet and pick your chain
  3. Fill in the basics: token name, symbol, total supply
  4. Set a realistic starting market cap (seriously, don't make it $10M on day one)
  5. Decide if you want to buy some tokens at launch (totally optional)
  6. Hit "Deploy Token" and confirm the transaction

That's literally it. Our system handles the rest — deploys the token, creates the liquidity pool, locks everything up, and executes your first buy if you want one. Your token goes live immediately and starts trading.

How to nail your fair launch

  • Simplicity wins: The beauty of fair launch is transparency, no complicated tokenomics or hidden tricks
  • Communication is key: Share all the details (supply, chain, contract address) immediately after launch
  • Start realistic: Choose a market cap that gives your token room to grow naturally
  • Get visible: Add your token to block explorers and price tracking sites ASAP
