Everything IgnitionX does, and how to launch a token on it.

IgnitionX is a token-launchpad for Robinhood Chain. This page covers what's on the platform — the live launch feed, the six ways to deploy a token, trading, and the anti-rug protections built into every launch — and walks through deploying a token from start to finish.

01Getting started

Three things to know before you do anything else on the platform.

Connect a walletClick Connect Wallet in the top right. IgnitionX talks to whatever wallet your browser has injected (e.g. MetaMask) — no account or sign-up beyond that.
Pick a networkThe network pill next to your wallet shows whether you're on Testnet or Mainnet. This is a platform-wide setting, not a personal preference — everyone browsing sees the same one at the same time.
Know which one is realTestnet uses Robinhood Chain's test network — nothing has real value. Mainnet is the real chain: real ETH, real tokens, real trades. Always check the network pill before sending anything.

02Features

What's actually on the platform, beyond the launch wizard itself.

◔

Live launch grid

Every token launched on the current network, with search, status filters (Recently Launched / Launched / Deployed / Graduated), live price sparklines, and a market-cap badge on each card.

↯

Real-time trade feed

A live ticker of real buys and sells as they happen on-chain — including bonding-curve trades, tagged so you can tell a Quick Launch trade apart from an ordinary pool trade at a glance.

🚀

Launch announcements

The instant a new token goes live, it gets a large announcement banner in the same feed — you don't have to refresh the grid to catch a brand-new launch.

◈

Portfolio

Connect your wallet to see every token you've launched, your real on-chain holdings, any creator rewards you can claim, and LP unlock status/countdowns.

⛓

Six launch modes

From a plain no-frills deploy to a fully configurable tax token to a pump.fun-style bonding curve — pick the mode that matches what you're actually building. See Launch modes.

✎

Editable token profile

Add a logo, banner, description, and social links to your token after launch — off-chain, display-only metadata that syncs to every visitor, verified by a signature from your own wallet.

⚡

Gasless launches

Two of the six modes let you sign a message instead of paying your own gas — a relayer submits the transaction for you. See Gasless launches.

🔒

Locked liquidity

Every mode that adds a real pool locks the resulting LP tokens for a fixed period — never immediately withdrawable by the creator. A bonding curve's graduation liquidity is permanently burned instead of locked to anyone.

◧

Self-disabling tax

Every taxed pool's transfer tax permanently switches itself off, forever, once the pool's live market cap crosses a fixed target — see Tax & graduation.

03Launch modes

Every launch starts the same way — name, symbol, supply — then splits into one of six paths depending on how much upfront ETH you want to put in and how much control you want over the tax.

Deploy Token

No ETH needed

100% of the supply mints straight to your wallet. No pool, no tax, nothing else happens on-chain. Creating a market for it — anywhere, any time — is entirely up to you afterward.

  • CostA flat, small deploy fee
  • TaxNone
  • Best forTokens you'll pair into liquidity yourself later, or that don't need a public market at all

Deploy + Add Liquidity

Needs ETH

Creates the token and pairs your ETH into a real pool in the same transaction. A 1.00% transfer tax funds the climb to a fixed $50,000 market cap, then switches off for good. Your LP is locked to you, not withdrawable early.

  • CostA flat launch fee, plus the ETH you're pairing
  • Tax1.00%, until $50,000 market cap
  • OptionalAn initial buy-in, guaranteed to be the pool's first trade

Deploy Custom Tax Token

No ETH needed

Same idea as Deploy Token, but for the configurable token type — deploy and verify only, with whatever tax settings you chose staying completely inert until a pool actually exists.

  • CostA flat, small deploy fee
  • TaxConfigured, but inactive
  • Best forReserving your configurable token now, launching liquidity later

Deploy + Add Liquidity (Custom Tax)

Needs ETH

The fully configurable path: pick a buy tax and sell tax (each independently capped), and mix in up to four mechanics — reflections paid to every holder, a marketing wallet, automatic liquidity, and automatic burn. Rates lock at launch and can never be raised afterward.

  • CostA flat launch fee, plus the ETH you're pairing
  • TaxYour own rate, plus a small platform tax on top (same self-disabling behavior)
  • Best forReflections, auto-liquidity, or a fully custom tokenomics design

Quick Launch

⚡ Zero tax, no ETH needed

No upfront ETH at all. Your token trades immediately against its own bonding curve — price rises automatically as people buy. Once the curve raises enough real ETH, it graduates: it automatically seeds a real pool and the platform's usual post-launch tax begins.

  • CostA flat, small launch fee
  • TaxNone pre-graduation; the standard platform tax after
  • Best forA pump.fun-style launch with instant trading and no liquidity to raise yourself

Quick Launch (Custom Tax)

⚡ Zero tax, no ETH needed

Identical bonding-curve mechanics to Quick Launch, but graduates into the configurable token type — so your reflections/marketing/auto-liquidity/burn settings apply from the moment real trading begins.

  • CostA flat, small launch fee
  • TaxNone pre-graduation; your configured tax after
  • Best forA bonding-curve launch that still ends in your own custom tokenomics
◆

In every mode that ends with a real pool, the liquidity that goes in is locked to the original creator for a fixed period — it's never something you (or anyone) can pull back out early. A Quick Launch's graduation liquidity comes from many different buyers rather than one creator, so it's permanently burned instead of locked to anyone.

04How to deploy a token

The launch wizard is the same four steps regardless of which mode you pick — only what you fill in in step 2 and 3 changes.

Connect your wallet and check the network

Click Connect Wallet top-right, then confirm the network pill shows the network you actually intend to launch on. Click Launch a token (or the Launch tab) to open the wizard.

Step 01 · Identity

Name, ticker symbol, total supply, a short description, and optionally a logo, banner, and social links. This is the same information shown on your token's card and detail page later — you can still edit the description/branding/socials after launch.

Step 02 · Deploy mode

Choose one of the six modes from Launch modes above. The live preview panel on the right updates immediately to show what your token's card will look like.

Not sure which to pick? No ETH to put in yet → Deploy Token or Deploy Custom Tax Token. Want instant trading with zero setup → Quick Launch. Want your own tax/reflections design → one of the Custom Tax modes.

Step 03 · Terms

For a liquidity mode, set how much ETH to pair in (and, optionally, an initial buy-in — guaranteed to be the pool's very first trade). For a custom-tax mode, set your buy/sell tax split across reflections, marketing, liquidity, and burn. Deploy-only and Quick Launch modes have little or nothing to configure here.

Step 04 · Review

Double-check everything — there's no editing tokenomics after this. Confirm, then approve the transaction in your wallet (or, for a gasless-eligible mode, sign the free message and send the deposit — see Gasless launches). A progress panel tracks each step of the launch live.

You're live

Once the transaction confirms, your token appears on the grid, a launch announcement posts to the live feed, and it shows up under Your launches in your Portfolio tab. See After you launch for what to do next.

05Gasless launches

Deploy Token and Deploy + Add Liquidity both support launching without paying your own gas.

1. SignYou sign a message describing your launch — free, no gas, no transaction sent yet.
2. DepositYou send one plain ETH transfer covering the fee/liquidity/buy-in — an ordinary transfer, not a special gas payment.
3. RelayA relayer wallet submits the actual launch transaction and pays that transaction's own gas for you.

This only ever covers the launch transaction's gas — you're still the one funding the launch fee, liquidity, and any buy-in itself. Nobody but you can ever redirect or forge a launch: every relay re-checks your own signature and deposit before doing anything. Where gasless isn't available (or a relayer isn't configured for the current network), the wizard falls back to an ordinary wallet-paid transaction automatically.

06After you launch

Edit your token

From your token's detail page (or Portfolio → Your launches), update its description, logo, banner, and social links any time — a quick signature from your wallet syncs it for every visitor.

Claim creator rewards

If creator rewards are enabled on the network you launched on, your Portfolio shows a claimable balance as trading activity accrues — trigger the swap and claim it straight to your wallet.

Unlock your LP

Once your lock period ends, an Unlock LP button appears next to that launch in your Portfolio. Before that, the countdown shows exactly how long is left.

Watch it trade

Every real buy/sell shows up in the live feed in real time, and your token's price/market-cap chart updates from the same on-chain activity.

07Buying & selling

How a trade works depends on which side of graduation a token is on.

Pool-based tokenDeploy + Add Liquidity and Custom Tax modes trade against a real DEX pool from the moment they launch. Buy/sell straight from the token's detail page; price follows the pool like any ordinary AMM pair.
Quick Launch, pre-graduationTrades go straight against the bonding curve itself — no pool yet. Price rises with every buy and falls with every sell, following the curve, not an order book.
Quick Launch, post-graduationOnce graduated, it behaves exactly like a pool-based token from then on — same detail-page trade panel, same live pricing.

The live feed tags every bonding-curve trade with a small ⚡ marker so you can tell it apart from an ordinary pool trade at a glance.

08Tax & graduation

Every taxed token on IgnitionX is built to tax itself out of existence, not to tax forever.

  • A Deploy + Add Liquidity or Custom Tax pool starts taxed the instant it launches, and that tax permanently disables itself, forever, the moment the pool's live market cap crosses its target — checked automatically on every taxed trade.
  • A Quick Launch token has zero tax while it's trading on the curve. The moment it graduates into a real pool, it opts into that same kind of post-launch tax — which then disables itself the same way, once the (now real) pool's market cap crosses its own target.
◆

Nobody can raise a tax rate after launch. For custom-tax tokens the rate is locked in at launch and has no setter at all afterward — the only thing a creator can still change post-launch is operational (marketing wallet, exemptions), never the rate itself.

09Security & disclosures

LP locks & burns

Every liquidity-bearing launch locks its LP to the creator, or — for a Quick Launch's graduation liquidity — burns it outright. Neither is ever pulled back out early by anyone, including the platform.

Immutable custom-token rates

A Custom Tax token's buy/sell rates are fixed forever at launch. There is no admin, creator, or platform action anywhere that can raise them afterward.

Independently-added pools

If liquidity is ever detected for a token outside IgnitionX's own launch flow, its card says so plainly and its price isn't tracked here — the platform doesn't vouch for a market it didn't create.

Testnet vs. Mainnet

The Demo/Live network switch is platform-wide. On Mainnet, every launch, trade, and price shown reflects genuine on-chain transactions and real funds — never a simulation.

IgnitionX is an independent, unofficial interface built for Robinhood Chain — it is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a product of Robinhood Markets, Inc. Launching or trading a token carries real financial risk. Nothing on this page or on the platform is financial advice; review a token's own contract and terms before committing real funds.

10FAQ

Do I need ETH to launch a token?

Only for the modes that add liquidity upfront (Deploy + Add Liquidity, and its Custom Tax equivalent) — you're pairing that ETH into the pool yourself. Deploy Token, Deploy Custom Tax Token, and both Quick Launch modes need no upfront ETH beyond a small flat fee.

What's the difference between Testnet and Mainnet?

Testnet runs on Robinhood Chain's test network, where nothing has real value — it's the place to try the platform out. Mainnet is the real chain: real ETH, real tokens, real, irreversible trades. The network pill next to your wallet always shows which one is currently active for everyone.

Can a creator raise the tax after launch?

No. A Custom Tax token's rate is locked in permanently at launch, with no setter anywhere in the contract afterward. A plain Deploy + Add Liquidity token's tax only ever moves in one direction: from active to permanently disabled once its pool crosses the market-cap target — never back up.

What happens to my liquidity?

It's locked to you (the creator) for a fixed period the moment it's added — you can't withdraw it early, and neither can anyone else. Once the lock period ends, an Unlock LP button appears for that launch in your Portfolio.

What does "graduated" mean?

For a taxed pool, it means the tax has permanently switched off — the market cap target was hit and trading is now tax-free for good. For a Quick Launch token specifically, "graduated" also marks the moment it moved off the bonding curve and into a real DEX pool.

Is IgnitionX affiliated with Robinhood?

No. IgnitionX is an independent, unofficial interface built for Robinhood Chain. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or a product of Robinhood Markets, Inc.

Is any of this simulated?

Once real contracts are configured for a network, launching, trading, and a taxed/graduated token's own price all reflect genuine on-chain activity — not a simulation. What stays illustrative regardless: holder-count breakdowns, 24h volume shown before any real trades exist, and the price of a pool IgnitionX merely detected rather than created itself.
