How a LUMO launch works.
Three steps, one transaction. Walk through the choices, see what becomes permanent and know what each cost pays for — before you open the launch form.
Step 1 of 3
Give your idea an identity.
Name, symbol, logo and cover
Choose a clear name, a short symbol, a logo you have the right to use and an optional cover image. Your token has a fixed supply of 1 billion.
Explain the project
Add a description plus website, X, Telegram and Discord links so buyers can find the original source. Check the spelling and links.
Preview before continuing
Review your token’s identity before launch. A name or image is not proof that another token is the same project; its address is the identifier.
Before you confirm
Four things to have ready. This checklist is for you; the launch form checks current routes, balances and costs separately.

Use this as your personal checklist. Your progress lasts until you leave or reload this page.
Open launch formMake the identity easy to verify
Use a clear token name, symbol, logo and optional cover image, then explain the project in a short description.
Add your real website, X, Telegram and Discord links, and check the live preview for spelling and image quality. LUMO’s launch flow uses a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens. Do not assume you can edit the token’s identity later — it is written on-chain.
After launch, share the market URL and exact token address. Different tokens can use the same name and symbol. Other platforms update their images and listings on their own schedules.
Choose a pair you can explain
If you launch CLOUD / TSLA, buyers trade CLOUD against tokenized TSLA. CLOUD does not become a Tesla share. If you launch CLOUD / PONS, buyers trade CLOUD against another community’s coin.
Tokenized stocks, ETFs and RWAs come from Robinhood’s issuer and are verified on-chain. Top performers are coins LUMO has curated as launch pairs: each has a live price and liquid pools, but its price moves with its own market. Choose the reference that fits your community’s story.
Enter an initial buy in ETH or USDG. This makes you the first buyer, and the preview shows the tokens you are expected to receive. Set buy and sell taxes carefully: those rates stay fixed, and 85% of every fee is yours, paid in ETH.
Know what each cost pays for
Your initial buy is a token purchase. It is different from the costs of creating and processing the launch.
- Initial buy
- The amount you pay in ETH or USDG. After the buyback fee and conversion, it makes your first purchase from the new token’s pool. Check the expected tokens received.
- Buyback allocation
- When active, 5% of the initial buy is set aside for buying and burning PONS and LUMO. The review shows the current rate. These burns are processed separately by the keeper; launch confirmation does not mean they have already completed.
- Platform fee
- A separate launch charge, if active. The review reads the current fee and shows it before confirmation.
- Conversion & trading fees
- Fees along the route affect how much reaches the launch pool and how many tokens you receive. Read the current conversion preview, not an example price from a guide.
- Network fee
- ETH used to process the launch on-chain. Your wallet estimates it before you confirm. Token spending approvals can require a separate transaction and gas fee.
Confirm once. Verify the result.
The final review and your wallet request should match the launch you intended.
Check the network, initial purchase, token details, pair and trading taxes. Confirm the acknowledgement in the launch form. If your wallet asks for a spending approval, review it; the launch transaction follows separately.
A successful launch creates the token and pool, burns the launch liquidity position and executes your initial buy together. If the launch transaction reverts, those launch actions are rolled back, although gas can still be spent. Wait for confirmed success and check its explorer receipt before sharing the token.
Your market is live. What next?
Open the token’s market page to see the trade panel, activity and Trading fees directly below the token information.
Collect your fees
Connect the creator wallet to collect available fees as ETH. Decide once how every collection is split — keep it, buy & burn your token, share it with holders, or send part to one wallet — and lock it on-chain. Collection needs a working conversion route and ETH for gas.

Every market has a holder chat. Open it with one free signature, pin the essentials, run a poll — or let 50 holders vote it open. The chain posts your fee collections and burns in it.

Answers to the questions creators ask most often.
What can I change after launch?
Treat the token identity and pair as final when you confirm. Buy and sell fee rates are fixed. The only decision left is the fee allocation — how much of each collection buys and burns your token, goes to your holders, goes to one chosen wallet, goes to a charity, and stays with you as ETH — and you make it once: it is locked on-chain the moment you save it.
Can I share my fees with holders or with another wallet?
Yes. In the Trading fees panel of your market, set a holders share and, if you want, one wallet address with its own share, then lock the allocation (one transaction, final). The holders part of every ETH payout goes to the holder-rewards vault, the wallet part is paid to that address on every collection. Every epoch LUMO snapshots the token’s holders, splits the ETH pro rata and publishes it on-chain; each holder — you included — claims their part on the market page, in ETH. Unclaimed rewards roll into the next epoch after 180 days.
Can my token give its fees to charity?
Yes — any share, up to 100%. The quickest way is at launch: in step 2, switch Charity token on, pick one of the 2,800+ verified nonprofits donate.gg lists (US, UK, EU, Latin America), and right after the launch transaction a second signature locks 100% of your fee share for it. Or later: in the Trading fees panel of your market, turn the Give to charity dial to any share and lock the allocation with the rest. That share of every ETH payout goes to the LUMO charity vault, which only knows one destination: the charity you chose. LUMO’s keeper sends it to donate.gg in batches of about $25 (the bridge has a fixed cost), donate.gg converts it to USD and pays the charity’s bank account, keeping 3% for processing. Every donation and its progress is shown on your market page.
Can I pay with ETH when my pair is a top performer or a stock?
Yes. You can choose ETH or USDG for your initial buy; LUMO finds a Uniswap v4 route and converts it into the selected pair within the launch transaction. The preview must succeed first. Keep ETH for network fees even if you choose USDG.
Do I need to supply all the liquidity myself?
Your initial purchase brings funds into your token’s pool. The displayed opening market cap is a pricing starting point (the pair’s phantom reserve), not a deposit you must fund. 100% of the supply sits on the curve from the start.
Which assets can I pair with?
Every genuine Robinhood Token (tokenized stocks, ETFs, commodities, treasuries), USDG, ETH, and the top-performing coins LUMO curates. The pair picker shows exactly what is enabled right now; a pair that is not enabled cannot be launched against until LUMO opens it.
What should I do if the launch fails or stays pending?
Open the explorer link and check the transaction status first. A pending transaction may still complete; avoid sending a duplicate blindly. If it failed, read the error, check balances and the current route, and refresh the preview. A processed failure can still spend gas.
