Configuration
Launching a token requires configuring four categories of parameters. Every choice is made before deployment and locked onchain.
Token Identity
Token Name
The full name of your token (e.g., "ABC Token"). Stored onchain in the ERC-20 contract.
Token Symbol
The ticker symbol (e.g., "XYZ"). Used across Aerodrome, explorers, and wallets.
Total Supply
The total number of tokens minted at launch.
Logo
An image uploaded and pinned to IPFS. Linked to the token's onchain metadata for display on Aerodrome and explorers.
Twitter X URL
Optional link to your project's Twitter/X profile, displayed on the token detail page.
Liquidity Settings
Liquidity %
Percentage of total supply allocated to the Aerodrome pool. The remaining tokens go to the creator wallet.
1-100%
Pair Token
The asset paired against your token in the pool.
ETH (WETH: 0x4200...0006) or USDC (0x8335...2913)
Initial Amount
The amount of ETH or USDC you deposit to seed the pool. This sets the initial price of your token.
Any amount
Pool Type
The AMM model for your trading pair.
vAMM or CL (see Pool Types)
Pool Types
vAMM (Volatile AMM) - standard constant-product pools (x * y = k), similar to Uniswap V2. Liquidity is spread across the entire price range. Simple, battle-tested, and best suited for new tokens with expected volatility. LP is represented as an ERC-20 token.
CL (Concentrated Liquidity) - concentrated liquidity pools similar to Uniswap V3. The Launcher deploys a full-range position by default (widest possible ticks), giving you the benefits of Aerodrome's CL infrastructure and fee tiers while keeping the setup simple. LP is represented as an NFT position.

Lock Duration
Custom (days)
LP is locked for the specified number of days. After expiry, it can be withdrawn.
Permanent
LP is locked forever (max uint32 duration). It can never be withdrawn. Maximum trust signal for your community.
Locking is handled natively through Aerodrome's LockerFactory contracts, not a third-party lock service. The lock is onchain, verifiable, and non-upgradeable.
