Guides
Launch a token
Steps
- Connect a wallet on Elysium with some HYPE for gas.
- Open Launch, then add a name, a ticker and an image.
- Add a description and links if you want them.
- Pick a preset or set the rules yourself.
- Review the summary and confirm one transaction.
Image, description and links
The image can be a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF up to 5 MB. Square images of 512x512 or larger stay sharp when expanded. The description holds up to 500 characters, and you can add a website, X, Telegram and Discord.
These are stored together on IPFS and the contract keeps their address, so they cannot be edited after launch.
Links are set by the creator and are not verified by Elyshook.
Limits
These are constants in the contract, and the launch form reads them from it.

Dev buy and dev lock
The creator can buy in the launch transaction. With an anti-snipe window that buy pays the opening fee and stays locked until the window ends, so a creator has no edge over the first buyers. A dev lock holds those tokens in the contract until the chosen date, and the token page shows it to every buyer. After the date, release them on the Fees page.
