# Launch a coin

> Create a new Trend and launch a token on ip.world — step-by-step.

## Launch a new Trend + token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the launcher">
    Tap **Create** from the top navigation bar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up the Trend">
    Enter the Trend name, description, and upload a profile image. Add any relevant social links (X, TikTok, website).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure the token">
    Pick a ticker, set the initial buy amount, and choose the token type:

    * **Creator** — you're the IP owner or authorized representative
    * **Community** — anyone can launch; fees route to a community treasury

    See [Coin types](/user-guides/coin-types) for the differences.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and confirm">
    The launch fee is **30 \$IP** on top of your opening buy. Review the summary and confirm.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Info>
  **Anti-snipe protection**: For the first 5 minutes after launch, each external wallet is capped at 2% of supply per trade. This prevents bots from sniping the entire supply.
</Info>

## Launch a token under an existing Trend

If the Trend already exists, you can add a new token under it instead of creating a new Trend. Navigate to the Trend page and tap **Launch token** — the flow is the same from Step 3 onward.

## After launch

Your token is live immediately. Share it, post about it on X or TikTok to start earning [UGC rewards](/user-guides/rewards/ugc-program), and consider [verification](/user-guides/verification/verification-overview) to unlock fee distribution and the trust badge.
