# Launch Guide

This guide walks you through the entire process of launching your game on Loadout — from preparation to going live and beyond.

### 1. Preparation

Before launching, make sure you have the following ready:

**Required**

* Playable demo
* Game Design Document (GDD)
* Team information and backgrounds
* Clear roadmap
* Use of funds breakdown
* Hero image and screenshots
* Dedicated project X/Twitter account (strongly recommended)

**Recommended**

* Trailer or gameplay video
* Active Discord community
* System requirements
* Core gameplay loop summary

### 2. Project Creation

1. Connect your Solana wallet (this will be your project admin wallet).
2. Click “Launch New Project”.
3. Fill in your project details:
   * Project Title
   * Studio Name
   * Short Tagline
   * Long Description
   * Genre Tags
4. Upload your visual assets (Hero Image + Screenshots).
5. Add links (Website, X/Twitter, Discord).
6. Upload your GDD and any supporting summaries.

### 3. Token Configuration

Choose your launch type:

* **Fair Launch**\
  100% of the token supply goes to the market from day one. No team or treasury allocations.
* **Studio Launch**\
  Optional allocations (up to 20% team + 20% treasury, max 40% combined) with mandatory on-chain linear vesting.

Then configure:

* Token Name (cannot be changed later)
* Token Symbol (3–5 uppercase letters)
* Token Image
* Token Description
* Total Supply (100M, 1B, or 10B)
* Launch timing (immediately or scheduled)

### 4. Review & Launch

Carefully review all information on the preview screen.\
Once confirmed, sign the transaction to launch your project.

Trading goes live immediately after you launch.

### 5. Post-Launch Responsibilities

Your project is now public. Focus on these key activities:

* Post regular updates on your project page
* Engage with your community on Discord and X
* Ship visible progress on your roadmap
* Use treasury funds transparently
* Communicate clearly about development

Projects that consistently deliver and communicate tend to attract more attention and trading volume.

### 6. Graduation

When your project reaches 60 SOL in the bonding curve, it automatically graduates:

* Transitions to a Meteora DLMM pool
* Liquidity is permanently locked
* Deeper liquidity and tighter spreads
* The 5% fee structure continues (4% to your treasury)

Graduation is a milestone, not the end. It signals initial market validation and improves trading experience for your holders.
