🎯 Launch Modes Explained

1️⃣ Basic Launch (Pump.fun)

Standard token creation without bundle buying.

Aspect	Details
Execution	Single transaction
Protection	❌ None - open to snipers
Use Case	Testing, simple launches
Cost	~0.02 SOL (pump.fun fee only)

Transaction Flow:
[Create Token] → Token live → Anyone can buy

2️⃣ Bundle Launch ⭐ (Recommended)

Create + buy in the same block using Jito atomic bundles.

Aspect	Details
Execution	Atomic (all-or-nothing)
Protection	✅ Anti-sniper (same block)
Use Case	Most launches
Cost	~0.02 SOL + Jito tip

Transaction Flow:
[Create Token + Buy 1 + Buy 2 + Buy 3 + Buy 4] → All in same block

How it works:

1. Your token is created

2. Your wallets buy in the SAME block

3. Snipers cannot get in before you

4. Maximum of 5 transactions per bundle

::: tip Why Bundle Mode? Without bundle protection, bots can detect your token creation and buy before your own wallets, front-running you. :::

3️⃣ Snipe Mode

Buy existing tokens at launch with maximum speed.

Aspect	Details
Execution	High-priority bundle
Use Case	Sniping other launches
Input	Token contract address
Cost	Buy amount + Jito tip

4️⃣ Bundle + Snipe Mode (Advanced)

The ultimate launch strategy: atomic creation + follow-up snipers.

Aspect	Details
Execution	Multi-phase bundle
Protection	✅ Maximum
Use Case	Professional launches

Execution Timeline:
Block 0:  [Create + Dev Buy + Bundled Wallets]  ← Atomic
Block 1:  [Sniper Wallet 1]
Block 2:  [Sniper Wallet 2]
Block 3:  [Sniper Wallet 3]

Configuration:

• DEV BUY %: Percentage of total buy from dev wallet (e.g., 10%)

• SNIPE WALLETS: Number of follow-up sniper wallets (1-5)

• SNIPE TIP: Priority fee for sniper transactions

👛 Wallet & Buy Configuration

Selecting Wallets

1. Check wallets to include in bundle buy

2. Use "Select All" for quick selection

3. Maximum 20 wallets per launch bundle

Setting Buy Amounts

Method	Description
Fixed Amount	Same SOL per wallet
Manual Adjustment	Set each wallet individually
±10% Buttons	Quick adjust total by 10%
Random Range	Min-Max for organic appearance

Randomized Buy Amounts

Enable range for natural-looking buys:

Example:
Min: 0.1 SOL
Max: 0.2 SOL

Result:
Wallet 1: 0.15 SOL
Wallet 2: 0.18 SOL
Wallet 3: 0.11 SOL
Wallet 4: 0.19 SOL
...

::: warning Why Randomize?

• Identical buy amounts look suspicious

• Analysis tools flag uniform purchases

• Randomization mimics organic trading :::

🎫 GET CA Feature

Reserve your Contract Address (CA) before launching:

How It Works:

1. Fill in all token metadata

2. Click "GET CA" button

3. System generates deterministic CA

4. Token is NOT deployed yet

5. Use CA for marketing/announcements

6. Launch when ready - same CA guaranteed

Use Cases:

• 📢 Pre-announce to community

• 🎨 Create marketing materials

• 📊 Set up tracking before launch

• ⏰ Schedule launch time

::: warning Important The CA is only valid with the EXACT metadata you entered. Changing name/symbol will result in a different CA. :::

---

🔄 Clone Metadata Feature

Copy metadata from existing tokens:

1. Click "Clone Metadata"

2. Enter existing token CA

3. Metadata auto-fills

4. Modify as needed

5. Launch with your wallets

::: warning Caution Only clone tokens you have rights to use. Impersonating other projects may have legal consequences. :::
