How-to: Standard Launch

Step-by-Step Guide on Launching an Agent Token

Step 1: Click "Create New Agent" in the top navigation menu

Creating a New Agent

If your wallet is not connected, you will first be prompted to select a chain for launching the agent token, followed by connecting your wallet. Once your wallet is connected, you could proceed to Step 2.

Step 2: Choose between launching a new agent token (Base and Solana) or using a migrated pre-existing token (Base only)

Option to launch with existing token (Base only)

• I want to launch an AI Agent with a new token — Select this option if you have not previously launched a token for the agent.

• I want to launch an AI Agent on an existing token (Base only) — Select this option if you have an existing Base token and want to use it as initial liquidity, which will be locked and staked indefinitely to earn emission rewards. This will create an agent and LP pool with $VIRTUAL. If you wish to use a non-Base token (e.g., Solana), it must first be bridged to Base (refer to this guide).

Step 3: Choose Standard Launch

Select this option if you want to launch a brand new token directly. In this option, the agent will ascent to Sentient once 42,425 $VIRTUALS is bought up.

Step 8: Set up the pre-buy token amount and launch

The pre-buy token section is optional for Standard Launch. This gives you the flexibility to purchase a small amount of your tokens, which could be helpful to protect your token from snipers.

Set the pre-buy token amount (optional)

Note that 100 $VIRTUAL are needed (non-refundable) to create the agent.

For Standard Launch, the table below provides an estimate of the VIRTUAL required to purchase x% of the supply during token deployment:

A maximum of 87.5% of the supply can be purchased pre-bonding. After your agent has bonded, graduated, or red-pilled, the remaining 12.5% will be available on Uniswap (Base) or Meteora (Solana).

Amount of VIRTUAL	Supply (approx.)
1,100	15%
2,600	30%
4,100	40%
6,000	50%
9,000	60%
14,000	70%
24,000	80%
42,000	87.5%
