Create and launch your project

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up and launching your project on ApeOn.

1. Go to the Ape On Platform:

   • Navigate to the Ape On website and ensure you have a connected Solana wallet with sufficient SOL balance for deployment fees (around 0.024 SOL is required).

2. Click on 'Launch a New Token':

   • Select the option to create and launch a new token from the homepage or relevant section.

3. Enter Token Information:

   • Token Name: Provide a name for your token (e.g., "CryptoApe").

   • Token Ticker: Enter a unique ticker symbol for your token (e.g., "APE").

   • Upload Logo: Add an image that represents your token by uploading a logo.

   • Project Description (Optional): Write a brief description of your token to inform potential investors and buyers about its purpose or utility.

4. Add Social Media Links (Optional):

   • If applicable, enter the following information to build trust and social engagement with your project:

     • Twitter: Add your project’s Twitter account handle.

     • Website: Link to your official website.

     • Telegram: Provide a link to your project's Telegram group for community interaction.

     • Discord: Add your project's Discord server link.

5. Set Initial Buy Amount (Optional):

   • Initial Buy: Optionally, you can be the first person to buy your token by specifying the initial amount you want to purchase in SOL.

6. Enable Token Lock (Optional):

   • Toggle the Token Lock feature if you wish to lock tokens for a specific duration to increase investor confidence.

   • Select Lock Period: Choose a lock period for the tokens, ranging from 10 to 30 days. During this time, the creator will not be able to sell the tokens, providing security to investors.

   • This feature is powered by Jupiter Lock, which ensures secure token locking for the chosen period.

7. Advanced Options:

   • Under the advanced settings, choose where you want to lock your Liquidity Pool (LP):

     • Meteora: Offers lifetime rewards, with 90% of fees going to creators. Additional rewards for holders and influencers are coming soon.

     • Raydium: Select Raydium if you prefer no LP fees.

   • This step is crucial for ensuring liquidity in your token and locking it securely.

8. Agree to Terms & Conditions:

   • Review and check the box to agree to the Ape On Terms & Conditions and Token Profile Policy.

9. Deploy Token:

   • After filling out all required information and ensuring you have sufficient SOL balance, click the ‘Deploy’ button to launch your token on the Solana blockchain.

   • Your token will be created and launched in just a few seconds, and you’ll receive a confirmation once the deployment is successful.

Important Notes:

• Token Lock: This is a key feature for securing your project and building investor trust by preventing early dumps or rug pulls.

• Cost to Deploy: Ensure you have ~0.024 SOL to cover deployment costs.
