Launch Configuration Guide

Welcome to the Alpaca Launchpad! When creating a new Token Launch pool, you will configure several parameters to define your token's economics, fundraising goals, and launch behavior.

This guide explains each input value to help you choose the best setup for your project.

Core Economics

These are the fundamental settings that define your token's existence and value.

1. Total Token Supply

"How many tokens should exist in total?"

The total amount of new tokens that will be minted upon creation.

What it is: The maximum number of tokens that will ever exist (unless your logic allows future minting).
Example: 1,000,000,000 (1 Billion Tokens).

2. Public Allocation

"What percentage of the supply goes to the community?"

You decide how much of the total supply is dedicated to the launch (sales + liquidity pool).

Alpaca's PacaLaunch algorithms automatically calculate the optimal split between the Fundraise Phase (tokens sold) and the Liquidity Pool (tokens paired) to ensure the pool is as healthy as possible upon a successful launch.

The Creator's Share:

Any tokens not included here are sent immediately to your wallet. For example, if you select 60%, you keep the remaining 40% immediately.

3. Pool Liquidity Target

"How much capital do you want locked in the DEX?"

This represents the specific amount of the Fundraising Token (e.g., KTA) you aim to raise to back your liquidity pool.

How it works:

This number drives the math. If you set this to 50,000 KTA, the system calculates prices to ensure exactly 50,000 KTA lands in the liquidity pool after launch.

📈 Pricing & Mechanics

Define how your token price moves during the sale and where it starts on the DEX.

4. Price Bonding Curve

The mathematical model that determines how the token price changes as users buy during the launch.

Curve Type	Behavior	Best Used For
Static	Price never changes.	Fair Launches & Equality.
Balanced	Gentle S-Curve (Sigmoid).	Standard Projects (~80% growth).
Rapid	Steep Ramp (Exponential).	Hype & Meme Coins.

5. Team Funds Share

"Do you need extra funds for development?"

The percentage of the total capital raised that is allocated to the project team. This is calculated as an add-on to your liquidity goal.

Example:

If your Liquidity Goal is 80,000 KTA and you set a 20% Team Share, the system raises a total of 100,000 KTA.
• 20,000 → Team Wallet.
• 80,000 → Liquidity Pool.

6. Sale Discount

"Do you want to reward early buyers?"

Also known as "Listing Premium". This sets how much higher the trading price will be on the DEX compared to the final launchpad price.

Example:

A 10% discount means the DEX starts trading 10% higher than the final sale price, giving presale buyers instant profit.

⏱️ Duration & Rules

The constraints that define success or failure.

7. End Date

The expiration time for the fundraising phase.

Rule: If the Launch Threshold is not met by this date, the launch is considered failed, and users can claim refunds.

8. Launch Threshold

The "Soft Cap"

The minimum percentage of your Liquidity Target that must be sold to trigger a successful launch.

Scenario A: You reach the threshold → The pool launches on the DEX automatically.
Scenario B: Time expires and you are below the threshold → The launch fails (Refunds enabled).
