🛠️How to Create a Manual Fair Launch

All funds raised are sent directly to your wallet, giving you full control over how they're used. You can manually add liquidity on a DEX, list on a CEX, or allocate towards development and marketing.

Best suited for:

Private sales and partial raises
Projects listing on a CEX
Projects looking to list on a DEX not currently supported by SolSale

Unlike a Presale, a Fair Launch has no Hardcap, meaning there is no limit on how much you can raise. Because of this, the token price is not fixed. Instead, the price fluctuates with each purchase depending on how many tokens are bought and by how much.

When setting up your sale, you choose the total token allocation. From there, the price is recalculated with every new buy, and the final token price is only determined once the sale ends.

Step 1. Getting Started

Step 2. Entering in your Address

Enter your token's contract address and click Next. Ensure Manual is selected before proceeding.

Step 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, USDC1 and USDC. For example: SOL
Presale Amount: The number of tokens available for investors to buy For example: 250000
DEX Listing Rate: Sets your token's launch price on the DEX as a percentage of the presale price.
- 100 = DEX price matches presale price (no discount)
- 90 = Presale buyers get a 10% discount vs. DEX price
- 80 = Presale buyers get a 20% discount vs. DEX price
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 if you set one! For example: 40
Hard Cap (optional): This is the maximum you can raise in your sale. After the hardcap is met your sale will end. For example: 100
Minimum Buy (optional): The minimum amount investors can buy in your presale. For example: 0.1
Maximum Buy (optional): 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 target date and time for your DEX listing.
This is your planned launch time, but launching is entirely manual:
- Finalize early if the Hardcap is reached
- Finalize later if you need more time—the sale ends on schedule, but you control when the DEX listing happens
You must click FINALIZE to launch on the DEX. It will not happen automatically

Step 4. Access Type, Referrals & Vesting

Presale Type: Choose between Whitelist or Public.

Whitelist: Only pre-approved wallet addresses can participate
Public: Open to all investors without restrictions

Whitelist Settings (if Whitelist is selected):

Whitelist Timer (seconds): Set how long your whitelisted investors have exclusive access before the sale opens to the public (if the Hardcap hasn't been reached).
Add WL Tier: Create multiple whitelist rounds with tiered access. Each tier gets its own timer and priority:
- Tier 1: First access for the duration you set
- Tier 2: Second access window, Tier 1 wallets can also participate
- Tier 3: Third access window, Tier 1 and Tier 2 wallets can also participate
- Continue adding tiers as needed

Note: Earlier tiers retain access in all subsequent rounds. If all timers expire and the Hardcap hasn't been met, the sale automatically becomes Public.

Referral System (optional)

Enable Referral System: Activate this to allow participants to earn rewards by sharing their unique referral link.
Referral Type: Choose your reward structure:
- Reward Pool: A percentage of the total raise is set aside and split among all referrers based on their contribution Example: If you set 3% and the sale raises 100 SOL, 3 SOL is distributed proportionally among all referrers
- Affiliate: Referrers earn a direct percentage from each purchase made through their link Example: If you set 4% and someone buys $100 worth, the referrer earns $4
Reward Percent (1-20%):
- Percentage of total raise allocated to the referral pool. Recommended: 2-3% Example: 1%
- For Affiliate: Percentage earned per individual purchase. Recommended: 2-3% Example: 1%

Sale Vesting (optional)

Add Sale Vesting: Enable token vesting to distribute presale tokens gradually over time.
Token Release on Launch (%): Percentage of tokens claimable immediately upon sale finalization. Example: 20%
Cliff (days): Waiting period after launch before the next token release begins. Example: 30 days
Token Release per Vesting Cycle (%): Percentage of tokens released in each vesting period. Example: 10%
Vesting Period Each Cycle (days): How often tokens are released after the cliff ends. Example: 14 days
Example Vesting Schedule: Using the examples above, your token distribution would work as follows:
- At Launch: 20% claimable immediately
- Days 1-30: Cliff period (no releases)
- Day 44: First vesting release of 10% (30-day cliff + 14-day cycle)
- Every 14 days after: Additional 10% released until fully vested

Step 6. Select Sale Package:

Choose between the Simple, Standard or Premium Package.

⬜ Simple → there is no border around your sale, you also can not add KYC and AUDIT badges

Standard → Your presale has a border around the sale card, you can add KYC and AUDIT badges on the sale (please note: KYC and AUDIT are not included in the price of 3 SOL)

Premium → Your presale has a Premium border around the sale card, you can add KYC and AUDIT badges on the sale (please note: KYC and AUDIT are not included in the price of 5 SOL), and you get a buy bot in the main GemPad Telegram Chat
