Private Launches
Private launches let approved creators bring their own token and launch it through a custom pool with tailored settings. To set up a private launch, contact the SnowForge team directly.
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.
Private launches are different. The creator works with the SnowForge team to deploy a custom launch 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.
1. Contact the team
Reach out to the SnowForge team to discuss your launch. The team will work with you on parameters like the token allocation split, trading fees, buy limits during the exclusive period, and which DEX the pool should graduate to (currently LFJ, with Pharaoh support coming soon).
2. Team deploys the pool
The team creates a launch preset and deploys a LaunchPool contract on-chain with your agreed settings. You'll receive a unique launch link tied to your wallet address.
3. Fund and launch
Open your launch link, fill in your token details (name, symbol, supply, description, image), 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.
4. Users trade on the pool
Once live, anyone can buy and sell on your launch pool just like a bonding curve pool. Trading appears in the terminal and on the pool page with real-time price updates.
5. 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.
Private 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
Private launches are not self-serve. To set one up, reach out to the SnowForge team through our official channels. The team will walk you through the process and configure everything on your behalf.
