Deploy and configure your own token launch

Deploy a community-mined token on Arc Testnet by setting its name, supply, mining rules, and fee all on-chain, no backend needed.

Launching a token on MINEPAD deploys two smart contracts: an ERC-20 token and a TokenLauncher that controls the mining phase and, after graduation, runs as a built-in AMM. Once you submit the transaction, every parameter is locked permanently on-chain your community can immediately start mining.

Token parameters are immutable once deployed. Double-check your supply, mining amounts, cooldown, and fee before submitting — there is no way to edit them afterward.

Navigate to the creation form

Go to actfun.xyz/create. You need a connected MetaMask wallet on Arc Testnet and enough ARC to cover the creation fee plus gas. If you haven’t done that yet, see Connect your wallet.

Fill in the token form

Token identity

1. Enter a token name

   Type a name in the Token Name field. Maximum 32 characters. This becomes the ERC-20 name stored on-chain (e.g. DogeFun).

2. Enter a ticker symbol

   Type a symbol in the Symbol field. Maximum 10 characters, alphanumeric only — the form automatically converts to uppercase and strips other characters (e.g. DOGE). This becomes the ERC-20 symbol.

3. Choose a token image

   Select one of three image modes using the tabs above the image picker:

   • Emoji — pick from the emoji grid. The selected emoji is stored on-chain as the token’s imageUri.
   • URL — paste a link to an image hosted elsewhere (e.g. https://example.com/logo.png).
   • Upload — drag or click to select a file (PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP, max 10 MB). The app compresses your image to 200×200 px JPEG at 72% quality and stores it on-chain as a base64 data URL.

   Uploaded images are stored directly in the smart contract. Keep the image recognisable at small sizes — it will appear at 56×56 px throughout the app.

Supply and mining parameters

These parameters define the entire lifecycle of your token — how fast it mines out, how much effort each mine requires, and how large the liquidity pool will be at graduation.

1. Set the max supply

   Choose a preset or enter a custom value:

   Preset	Value
   1M	1,000,000
   10M	10,000,000
   21M	21,000,000
   100M	100,000,000

   95% of the max supply becomes the mineable supply  the amount the community can mine out. The remaining 5% is reserved as LP tokens, minted to the launcher contract at graduation to seed the AMM pool.

2. Set tokens per mine

   Choose how many tokens each successful mine call awards:

   Preset	Value
   100	100 tokens
   1,000	1,000 tokens
   10,000	10,000 tokens

   A larger mine amount means fewer total mines needed before graduation. A smaller amount extends the mining phase and gives more people a chance to participate. The live preview shows the resulting Total mines count.

3. Set the cooldown

   Choose how long each wallet must wait between mine calls:

   Preset	Duration
   30 sec	30 seconds
   1 min	1 minute
   3 min	3 minutes
   10 min	10 minutes
   1 hr	1 hour

   Longer cooldowns reduce mining speed and spread participation across more wallets. Shorter cooldowns let individual miners accumulate faster.

4. Set the ARC fee per mine

   Choose the ARC fee a miner must pay each time they mine:

   Preset	Fee
   1 ARC	1 ARC
   2 ARC	2 ARC
   3 ARC	3 ARC
   4 ARC	4 ARC
   5 ARC	5 ARC

   Every fee payment accumulates in the launcher contract. At graduation, the entire collected ARC balance  along with the 5% LP reserve tokens  seeds the AMM liquidity pool. A higher fee creates a larger pool and better initial liquidity. The preview shows an LP seed estimate based on your fee and total mine count.

Daily max (automatic)

The per-wallet daily maximum is set automatically to tokens per mine × 10. For example, if each mine awards 1,000 tokens, a wallet can mine at most 10,000 tokens in any rolling 24-hour window. This limit resets as a rolling window, not on a fixed midnight schedule.

Read the live preview

The preview panel on the right updates as you type. Before deploying, confirm these values look correct:

Field	What it means
Max supply	Total token supply cap
Mineable (95%)	Tokens the community can mine
LP reserve (5%)	Tokens held back to seed the AMM
Per mine	Tokens awarded per mine call
Total mines	How many mines until graduation
Cooldown	Wait time between mines per wallet
Daily max	Max tokens per wallet per 24 hours
Fee/mine	ARC required per mine
LP seed (est)	Estimated ARC in the pool at launch

Deploy the token

1. Click Deploy Token

   Scroll to the bottom of the form and click Deploy Token. MetaMask will open a transaction confirmation dialog.

2. Review the transaction

   MetaMask shows the creation fee (an anti-spam charge sent to the protocol) plus the gas estimate. Confirm the amounts and click Confirm.

3. Wait for confirmation

   The button changes to Deploying on Arc… while the transaction is pending. This usually completes within a few seconds on Arc Testnet.

4. Token launched

   When the transaction confirms, the app shows a Token launched! success message and redirects you to the token grid after 2 seconds. Your token is now live and ready to mine.

The creation fee is a small ARC amount charged by the protocol to prevent spam deployments. It is sent directly to the protocol fee recipient and is separate from the per-mine fees miners will pay later.
