# Getting Started

## Launch a token

Hit **LAUNCH** on the homepage. Fill in the form:

| Field                         | Notes                                               |
| ----------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
| **Coin Name**                 | The token's full name.                              |
| **Ticker**                    | Conventionally uppercase, e.g. `PEPE2`.             |
| **Image**                     | JPG / PNG / GIF / WebP, ≤ 5 MB.                     |
| **Dev Buy (ETH)**             | ETH to buy on your own curve at launch. Can be `0`. |
| **X / Website / Description** | Optional.                                           |

{% hint style="info" %}
**Dev Buy** buys tokens in the same transaction as the deploy. Bots can't front-run you because there's nothing to front-run — your buy and the contract creation land in one tx. Set it to `0` if you want to start clean.
{% endhint %}

Sign the transaction. Your token goes live instantly — chart, curve, buy/sell box all ready.

## Trade on the curve

Click any token to open its detail page. Everything is there: price, chart, curve progress bar, buy/sell box, trade history, holder rankings.

Tokens trade on the bonding curve until graduation. When the curve fills, the token migrates automatically to Uniswap V2 with permanently locked LP — trading continues there without any action on your part.

{% hint style="info" %}
Once a token's state shows **migrating** or **migrated**, route trades to Uniswap V2. The curve is closed.
{% endhint %}

## Claim dev fees

Every trade on your token's curve pays **0.3%** to you. Fees accrue to the wallet that deployed the token — no configuration needed.

The **Fee Vault panel** on the homepage shows your total across all deployed tokens. Hit **CLAIM** to sweep everything in one transaction.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Fees go to the deployer wallet only. No redirects, no splits.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://trench-today.gitbook.io/trench-today/getting-started.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
