Launch a Simple (V3) token

Simple (V3) is the default Load path: buyers trade the bonding curve until the graduation cap fills, then liquidity locks into a Uniswap V3 WETH pool. There is no custom buy/sell tax after graduation — creators earn from curve fees and locked LP fee share.

1. 1

   Open Create → Simple

   Choose the Simple / Uniswap V3 launch mode. Read the in-app help if you need a glossary of each field.

2. 2

   Set identity

   Add token image (PNG, JPG, WebP, or GIF, max 4 MB — pinned to IPFS), name (up to 32 chars), ticker (up to 10), and optional description plus social links.

3. 3

   Optional initial buy

   Attach ETH at create to buy your own token in the same transaction. Cap is about 5% of supply. Creators are exempt from anti-snipe caps on this buy.

4. 4

   Anti-snipe & review

   Leave anti-snipe on for public launches (90s window, ~0.103 ETH max per non-creator buy). Review fee summary and total ETH required, then confirm in your wallet.

5. 5

   Confirm in wallet

   Approve when your wallet prompts. See “What happens during create” below for vanity addresses, timing, and why a second confirmation can appear.

What happens during create

When you hit create, Load walks through a short checklist. You stay on the progress screen until the token is live — no need to leave the page.

1. Upload — your image and metadata are pinned (IPFS) so the board and explorers can show them.
2. Prepare — Load reads the on-chain launch fee and builds the create transaction.
3. Wallet — your wallet asks you to approve. This spends the launch fee (+ optional initial buy) and gas.
4. On-chain — the network deploys your token and bonding curve. This step can take longer than a normal transfer.
5. Index — Load picks up the new token so it shows on the board and token page.

What “vanity” means

Every Load launch token gets a special contract address that ends in 10AD (Load’s brand suffix). That is the vanity address — a recognizable ending, not a random last digits string.

Finding that ending happens on-chain when you create. The network tries many candidate addresses until one matches …10AD, then deploys your token there. That search uses more gas and time than a simple send, which is normal.

What to expect

• Gas limit looks high compared to a swap — the vanity search needs headroom so the create does not run out of gas mid-way.
• Confirmation can take longer than buying or selling a token. Keep the tab open.
• Sometimes the first attempt does not land on a valid vanity tip and reverts. Load automatically retries with a small metadata tweak and may ask you to confirm in your wallet again. That is expected — approve the follow-up; the progress UI stays on on-chain confirmation.
• Do not refresh or close the page until you see success (or a clear error you can close).

What happens after create

• Token and curve appear on the board once indexed.
• Anyone can trade the curve; you earn 0.60% of volume as creator fees.
• At ~$35k FDV target (net ETH reserves), graduation can migrate liquidity to locked Uniswap V3.
• Claim creator fees anytime from the token page; after graduation, claim LP fee share the same way.
