Go from an idea to a live token on Base in a few minutes. The wizard is simple to use, fill a form, click Next, and keep going until Deploy. Whenever you see a little light‑bulb next to a field, click it for a short, in‑context explanation.
Make sure your wallet is setup for Base. Connect your wallet to the Token Forge, keep a little ETH for gas, and have enough PBTC for the platform fees and, if you’re skipping a presale, seeding liquidity. Prepare a square logo (128–1024px) with a bit of padding so it still looks good inside rounded avatars.
Pick a name and symbol people can remember and pronounce. Upload your logo. Add a short description that tells newcomers what the token is for. Paste your links (Website, X, Telegram).
Pro tip: Avoid edge‑to‑edge logos and tiny text. Centered artwork with breathing room looks better everywhere.

Team allocation. Choose a percentage and a vesting period. Longer vesting signals commitment and smooths sell pressure. Many projects land between 5–15% with 12 months or more of vesting. If you don’t need a team slice, leave it off.
Staking rewards. Choose a percentage and a rewards duration. A moderate pool over 6–12 months gives holders something to do without flooding the market. Remember that staking redistributes supply—it doesn’t create value—so size it to your growth plan.

This is the fork in the road. Click the Presale Type light‑bulb if you want a quick recap on the screen.
You go straight to launch and provide initial liquidity (in PBTC). The app shows the estimated launch price implied by that amount and your total supply and tokenomics. Choose this when you want speed and already have the budget to seed the pool. More liquidity means a calmer chart; less liquidity means more volatility and a cheaper starting point.

You raise PBTC first, at a set price.
Hard cap: the most you’ll accept; the sale closes the moment this hits.
Soft cap: the minimum that makes the sale viable; if you miss it by the end time, launch won’t continue.
Price & duration: keep the window long enough to market but not so long that momentum dies. When you hit the hard cap you can launch immediately.
Whale protection: cap the % of total supply any wallet can buy (common picks are 2–3%). If you enable purchases over limit, anything above the cap still goes through but unlocks over time. That keeps big buyers in without letting one wallet dominate day one.
You’ll enter caps or initial liquidity in USD; Token Forge converts to PBTC automatically.

Choose how long your liquidity is locked and where.
Token Forge lock is built‑in and simple.
Team Finance gives you a third‑party lock record and extra features including visibility of the lock on sites like DEXscreener.
Six to twelve months is a sensible default. Short locks look weak; extremely long locks remove flexibility.

The Summary page shows everything: basic details, allocations, presale settings (or initial liquidity), whale limits, and the lock. Double check it; this is what hits the chain.
Check the Terms, then Deploy. Your wallet will ask for several approvals. Keep the tab open until you see the success state. From there, kick off launch‑day promotion.
Note: Please be patient, it can take some time for the transactions to complete.

Announce & pin.
If you’re in presale: Share your Token Forge token page (the one with the presale buy interface) as the single source of truth. Don’t share the token contract yet—tokens are held by the factory and aren’t tradable. Pin this in Telegram and make it the first post in your X thread.
If you launched directly (no presale): You can also s Share your Token Forge token page or the pair/trade link (Uniswap or DEX Screener) and the contract address (Base). Put the contract address in your profile bio.
Add the token CA to your wallet as a custom token, if you launched directly or your presale is completed.
Promote in the Forge community. Post updates in the Forge Tokens topic inside @tokenforge_base It’s a dedicated space for Token Forge projects to promote and cross‑pollinate.
Update your website. Add a clear “Buy on Base” (or “Join presale”) button, show the link (pair or token page).
Onboard holders. Publish a short guide “How to buy & stake” (post‑launch) or “How to join the presale” and link to staking (if enabled) and an “Add token to wallet” action (after launch).
Community hygiene. Add a buy bot to Telegram (post‑launch), pin a mini‑FAQ (official links, scam warnings, etc.), and moderate your chat.
Team: keep it modest and vest it for a reasonably long time. Six months is a baseline; longer is better for serious roadmaps.
Staking: reward loyalty without over‑diluting. A steady program beats a short‑term APY spike.
No presale: fastest path, works if you can fund liquidity yourself.
Presale: good if you need to raise for liquidity. Set a realistic soft cap and end date.
Whales: limit to 2–3% of total supply; enable overflow vesting so you don’t reject big supporters outright.
LP lock: 12 months is a good default.
A step re‑prompts you: a prior transaction likely hasn’t confirmed yet. Check in your wallet.
Stuck at deploy: check that you still have ETH on Base for gas and the required amount of PBTC.
Logo looks cramped: crop with more padding and re‑upload.
Tip: If you get stuck, ping us on X or Telegram @tokenforge_base. And don’t forget the light‑bulb icons—those micro‑guides are written for the exact field you’re on.
