# Create A Token

## Fixed parameters

Every token created on Bound Launchpad has these fixed values:

| Parameter                 | Value                                                        |
| ------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Total supply              | 1,000,000,000 tokens                                         |
| Liquidity pool allocation | 20% of supply                                                |
| Premine                   | 100% (directed to Bound-controlled wallets for distribution) |
| Decimals                  | 2                                                            |
| Tokens per mint           | 10,000                                                       |

## Flexible parameters

You choose:

* **Display ticker** - A short nickname used in the Bound UI (not stored on-chain)
* **Rune ticker** - The official on-chain ticker
* **Token image** - Visual identity for your token
* **Symbol** - e.g. 😂
* **Description** - What your token is about
* **Socials** - Twitter, Telegram, Website (optional)

## Timing

After submitting your etch transaction:

1. Wait for **6 Bitcoin block confirmations** - required by the Runes protocol to prevent front-running
2. After reveal, wait **1 more block** confirmation
3. Your token is now open for minting

## Cheap etch option

The **Cheap etch** switch is on by default. It restricts image size so your etching transaction costs no more than $30. Turn it off if you want to submit a larger image.
