Launchpad Guide

Launch a token at thecabal.app/deploy. The flow is designed to be simple: pick your chain and deployment type, fill in token details, set market cap and dev buy, confirm, and sign one transaction.

Deploy wizard (6 steps)

Step
What you configure

1. Welcome

Chain (Base or Robinhood) and deployment type (V3 or V4)

2. Token identity

Name, symbol, description, social links, logo (optional), banner (optional)

3. Starting market cap

Slider from ~0.5 ETH to ~200 ETH (1 billion token supply)

4. Dev buy

How much ETH to spend buying your token at launch (can be 0)

5. Confirm

Review everything before signing

6. Launch

Connect wallet and submit the on-chain transaction

Choose your chain

Base

Full Cabal experience:

  • V3 — standard Uniswap V3 with a 1% pool fee

  • V4 — Uniswap V4 with Cabal Hook V1 (custom launch fee curve)

Robinhood Chain

  • V3 only — Uniswap V3 with a 1% pool fee

  • V4 is not available on Robinhood yet (V4 contracts are deployed on-chain for future use)

When you select Robinhood, the UI automatically switches to V3.

Choose your deployment type (Base)

V3 — 1% pool

  • Fixed 1% Uniswap V3 pool fee

  • No custom hook — maximum compatibility with aggregators, routers, and buy bots

  • GoPlus factory path: token ownership is renounced at deploy

  • Liquidity locked 1 year via GoPlus locker

Good if you want a straightforward, battle-tested launch with high bot and router coverage.

V4 — Cabal Hook V1

  • 0% pool LP fee — trading fees are collected by the hook instead

  • Uses Cabal Hook V1 at a fixed verified address on Base

  • Anti-snipe sell fee curve: starts at 3%, decays to 1% over the first hour

  • Buy fee: 1% (during launch window and after)

  • Hook fee revenue split: 50% creator / 50% Obelisk NFT holders

  • Liquidity locked 1 year via GoPlus locker

Good if you want launch protection and a share of trading fees routed to you (and Obelisk holders).

See V4 & Cabal Hook for the full fee curve.

Starting market cap

The slider maps to an Uniswap tick based on a 1 billion token total supply:

Approx. market cap
Notes

0.5 ETH

Minimum

1 ETH

Default

10 ETH

Mid-range

200 ETH

Maximum

Higher starting MC = higher initial price per token. Dev buy tokens received scale inversely with MC (more tokens at lower MC for the same ETH spent).

Dev buy

Dev buy lets you purchase your own token in the same transaction as deployment, at the launch price.

  • Minimum: 0 ETH (skip dev buy entirely)

  • The ETH you enter is sent as msg.value with the deploy transaction

  • Estimated tokens ≈ devBuyETH ÷ (startingMC ÷ 1B)

There is no separate Cabal platform fee on top of dev buy — you only pay the ETH you choose plus any applicable locker fees (UNCX only if selected; current default is GoPlus, which is free at deploy).

What happens when you launch

Before the transaction (off-chain)

  1. Your logo (and optional banner) are uploaded and moderated

  2. Cabal returns an IPFS hash stored in the deploy parameters

  3. You review and sign

In the transaction (on-chain)

  1. Token is created (GoPlus factory on V3, Cabal factory on V4)

  2. Full 1B supply is added as liquidity on Uniswap

  3. LP position is locked for 1 year in the GoPlus locker

  4. Dev buy executes (if you set an amount > 0)

  5. On V3 (GoPlus path), ownership is renounced

After deploy

  • Success modal with your token address and explorer link

  • Optional metadata (banner, extended description) can be saved via Cabal API

  • Token is indexed by Cabal trackers and appears on your chain's token page (/base/... or /robinhood/...)

  • GoPlus security panel on token pages (honeypot, taxes, mintable flags, etc.)

Logo

Total upload payload is capped at 4 MB.

Liquidity locker (current default)

Today's deploy flow uses the GoPlus locker (option 1) for all launches:

  • Free at deploy time

  • LP NFT locked for 1 year

  • Migrating to another locker later costs 0.01 ETH (permanent, one-way)

Cabal and UNCX locker options exist in the protocol but are not exposed in the current simplified wizard. UNCX would add 0.04 ETH (V3) or 0.13 ETH (V4) at deploy if enabled in a future UI.
