Describe the token | Name it and pick what it pairs against. | | 2. Prepare | STONKFUNBOT assembles the launch request. | | 3. Live terms | Current launch terms and cost are read at request time. | | 4. Proposal shown | You see the exact terms and cost before anything happens. | | 5. You confirm | Explicit acceptance of that specific proposal. | | 6. Security checks | The prepared transaction is decoded and checked before it's trusted. | | 7. Signing | Only a transaction that passed every check gets signed by your wallet. | | 8. Submission | The signed transaction is submitted to Solana. | | 9. Chain confirmation | STONKFUNBOT waits for the network to actually confirm it. | | 10. Recorded result | The outcome is recorded and only then reported back to you. | A proposal is not a launch. Nothing executes until you confirm it — see [Confirm](/transaction-flow/confirm.md). ## What a launch needs * **A name and a pairing.** For example: "launch GameStop paired with GMEX." * **An image.** StonkFun requires a logo for every launch. On social surfaces, attach it to the message that requests the launch. ## What you get A fixed-supply token with a live market on StonkFun, paired against the asset you chose, with your wallet recorded as the creator on chain. StonkFun's standard launch mode splits the pool's trading fees between the creator and the platform — your wallet is the creator, so that share accrues to you as the token trades, and only as it trades. You may optionally include a dev buy — a small share of supply purchased as the pool's first trade — as part of the launch request. ## Referrals Launching once gives you a referral link from your dashboard. Anyone who launches through it credits your account: when their launch succeeds, a share of STONKFUNBOT's own service fee is paid to your wallet. This is a single-level program — no self-referrals — and the link is tied to your account rather than your handle, so it keeps working if you ever rename. See [Fees](/understanding-the-system/fees.md) for the current referral share. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.stonkfun.bot/using-stonkfunbot/launches.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
