# Launch Type

> Pick how your supply is bought at launch, set your Dev Buy and Supply Buy, and check the market cap simulation.

### Launch mode

Ora offers two launch modes, each suited to a different kind of launch. **Atomic Launch** is available on every chain and launchpad. **Basic Launch** is coming soon: it shows as **Basic Launch (coming soon)** in the app and can't be selected yet.

- [**Atomic Launch**](https://docs.useora.xyz/launching-on-ora/launch-type/atomic-launch/): Secure your supply directly from block 0. No one can buy until the end of your bundle, so snipers can't front-run you.

- [**Basic Launch**](https://docs.useora.xyz/launching-on-ora/launch-type/basic-launch/): Buy supply gradually with one set of wallets right after your token is created, making the token's price action more natural.

### Paired Asset

*[Image: Launch Type step with Paired Asset, Dev Buy, Supply Buy and the market cap simulation]*

On the same step, on every launchpad except Bags and Uniswap, you pick the **Paired Asset**: the asset your token trades against. The chain's native asset (SOL on Solana, ETH on Robinhood) is selected by default, and your choice shows as **Paired asset** in the Token Preview.

### Dev Buy and Supply Buy

You also set how much of the supply your launch buys:

* **Dev Buy % (optional):** the share of the supply bought by your dev wallet.
* **Supply Buy % (Excluding Dev):** the share of the supply bought by your other launch wallets, on top of the dev buy. This one is required.

Both fields take a value from 0 to 100, with up to 4 decimals. Together, Dev Buy and Supply Buy can't go over the launchpad's limit: if you type more, the field you're typing in is lowered to fit. If that limit drops later, for example when you change the launchpad, the paired asset or the [funding type](https://docs.useora.xyz/launching-on-ora/wallet-funding/), your values are lowered again to fit, Supply Buy first.

If a value is too low for your launch, a message shows under the field and **Next** stays disabled:

* **Too low - min X% (or 0).** Your Dev Buy is under the minimum. Raise it or set it to 0.
* **Too low - min X%.** Your Supply Buy is under the minimum.
* **Too low for a valid layout - raise it.** No wallet layout works with this Supply Buy. Raise it.

### Market cap simulation

Once you enter your Supply Buy, a chart simulates your launch on the bonding curve, with your Dev Buy if you set one. Hover or click one of its three points to see its value:

* **STARTING MC:** the market cap your token starts at.
* **LAUNCH MC:** the estimated market cap right after your buys.
* **MIGRATION MC:** the market cap where your token migrates.

Until you enter a Supply Buy %, the chart shows **Enter a Dev Buy % and Supply Buy % to simulate**. On some launchpads it shows **Market cap simulation isn't available for this launchpad yet**.

### Comparison

Picking the right launch type matters, and the two suit very different launches. Basic Launch is coming soon, so every launch uses Atomic Launch for now.
