Create a Launchpad
A Launchpad is a platform for project owners to raise funds and distribute tokens to early supporters in a controlled, transparent presale environment. Through the launchpad, you can set parameters for fundraising goals, presale rates, token distribution, and other settings that ensure a secure and organized presale process. Gemlaunch’s launchpad provides project owners with flexible options for listing, liquidity, affiliate programs, and more, making it easy to attract and manage investors effectively.
In this guide, we’ll walk you through each step to set up a successful launchpad using Gemlaunch. Whether you're creating a standard presale or applying advanced features like whitelisting or liquidity lockup, these instructions will help you make the most of the launchpad for a smooth fundraising experience.

Create a Launchpad
Creating a launchpad on Gemlaunch is straightforward. Follow the steps below to set up your token’s presale.
Step 1: Verify Your Token
Connect your wallet: Ensure your wallet is connected to proceed.
Navigate to Launchpad Creation: From the homepage, select Launchpads -> Create Launchpad, or access it directly at Gemlaunch Create Launchpad.
Input Token Address: Enter your token address if you have an existing token, or select the option to create a new token specifically for the launchpad.
Select Currency: Choose BNB or, if using stablecoins for your presale, refer to our guidelines for selecting the appropriate stablecoin.
Select a Fee Option: Choose the applicable fee option for your project.
Select Listing Option: Choose Auto Listing (liquidity is added automatically after finalizing) or Manual Listing (add liquidity manually).
Enable Affiliate Program: If applicable, select the Affiliate Program option.
Review: Double-check your selections, then click Next to proceed.
Step 2: DeFi Launchpad Information
After verifying your token, input the core presale details:
Use Positive Numbers: Ensure all entries are positive.
Presale Rate: Defines how many tokens investors receive during the presale.
Whitelist: Enable if you have a whitelist for specific presale contributors; this can be toggled at any time.
Soft Cap and Hard Cap: Set your minimum (soft cap) and maximum (hard cap) fundraising goals. The soft cap must be at least 25% of the hard cap.
Refund Type: Select either Refund or Burn for unsold tokens.
Liquidity (%): Enter the percentage of raised funds to be allocated to liquidity. The minimum is 51%, with a maximum of 100%.
Listing Rate: Set the rate for the initial liquidity pool (e.g., 1 BNB = x tokens). Generally, this is lower than the presale rate to secure a higher listing price.
Start and End Times (UTC): Ensure your start time is set before the end time and start date is prior to the end date.
Liquidity Lockup (Minutes): Specify the lockup duration for liquidity. The minimum period for liquidity lockup is 5 minutes, set to 1440 minutes for example for 1 day.
Vesting Contributor: Optionally enable Vesting Contributor if your project uses this feature.
Token Calculation: Review the total tokens required to create the presale pool, displayed above the Back/Next buttons. You can also utilize the Gemlaunch Calculator for designing balanced tokenomics.
