Launch Type

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

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 LaunchComing soon

Buy supply gradually with one set of wallets right after your token is created, making the token's price action more natural.

Paired Asset

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, 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.
