How to Create a Manual Fair Launch

With a Manual Fair Launch you get all the funds raised to your wallet and then you can either supply liquidity on DEX yourself, launch on a CEX or just use the funds for development and marketing. - Usually used for private sales and partial raises or projects that want to list on a DEX that GemPad does not support at the time of the sale set up

Fair Launch has no hardcap, meaning there is no limit on the amount you can raise until the sale ends. Because there is no hardcap, you also can't set the exact price of the tokens - the price will be constantly changing depending on how many people buy and how much they buy

When setting up the sale you choose how many tokens in total you want to allocate to the sale and the price will be calculated every time there is a new buy. The final price of the tokens will be known when the sale ends.

1. To get started, go to this link

2. Next you enter in the address for your token and click next (make sure you have Manual selected)

3. Fill out the following sale details:

• Fund Raising Token: This is the token you are raising funds in and it will also be your liquidity. You can choose between SOL and USDC. For example: SOL

• Presale Amount: Here you input the total number of tokens that you want to allocate to the Fair Launch. For example: 250000

• DEX Listing Rate: This is the value of your tokens once your token launches onto a DEX. If you input 100 the sale rate and DEX listing rate will be the same price. If you input 90, the sale rate will be 10% better than the DEX listing price and if you input 80, the sale rate will be 20% better than the DEX listing price. etc. For example: 90

• Soft Cap: This is the minimum you must raise in order for the sale to be successful. Please note the softcap needs to be at least 11% of the hardcap! For example: 40

• Hard Cap: This is the maximum you can raise in your sale. After the hardcap is met your sale will end. For example: 100

• Minimum Buy: The minimum amount investors can buy in your presale. For example: 0.1

• Maximum Buy: The maximum amount investors can buy in your presale. For example: 2

• Start Date: This is the date you want your sale to begin.

• End Date: This is the date you want your sale to end.

We usually recommend that a sale should last 48-72 hours.

• Estimated Launch: The expected time for the launch of your project - meaning when you want your token to go on DEX. You can finalize the sale before this timer if the hardcap has already been met, you can also finalise after this time runs out if you need some extra days before the launch. The Launch does not happen automatically. You will need to press on the FINALIZE button to finalize it.

4. In the next step you have to submit your graphics along with links to your socials:
