Token Launcher — Launch Tokens on Cronos

WolfSwap's Token Launcher lets anyone create and launch a token on Cronos with zero upfront liquidity. Using a bonding curve model — similar to pump.fun — your token is instantly tradeable the moment it's created. No need to provide liquidity, no seed funding required.

The bonding curve handles all trading automatically. As buyers come in, the price rises along the curve. When the token hits its graduation targets, it migrates to a real DEX liquidity pool — making it a fully tradeable Cronos token.

How It Works

1. Create Your Token

Go to the Token Launcher and fill in:

  • Token name & symbol — Choose your token identity
  • Description — Tell people what your token is about
  • Image — Upload a token logo (under 3MB)
  • Social links — Twitter, Telegram, Website (optional but recommended)
  • Initial buy amount — How much you want to buy at launch (in CRO or ETH)
  • Graduation target — The reserve threshold your token needs to reach before graduating to a DEX
  • Target DEX — Which DEX the liquidity pool will be created on (VVS Finance, Chronos, etc.)
  • Auto-graduate — Toggle to automatically migrate to DEX when targets are met

Every token launches with a fixed supply of 1 billion tokens.

2. Token Goes Live

The moment you confirm the transaction, your token is live and tradeable on the bonding curve. Anyone can buy or sell immediately — no liquidity pool needed.

3. Community Trades on the Curve

Buyers send CRO (or the chain's native token) to the bonding curve contract and receive tokens. The price increases as more people buy. Sellers can sell back at any time, receiving native tokens in return.

4. Token Graduates to DEX

When the token reaches both its reserve target and volume target, it graduates:

  • A real liquidity pool is created on the chosen DEX (VVS Finance, Chronos, etc.)
  • The bonding curve locks — no more curve trading
  • The token trades on the DEX like any other Cronos token
  • Full DEX liquidity is available for all traders

The Bonding Curve

The bonding curve is the core mechanic that makes zero-liquidity launches possible.

How Pricing Works

  • The curve starts at a low price when no one has bought yet
  • Each buy pushes the price higher along a mathematical curve
  • Each sell pushes the price lower
  • The contract calculates exact prices in real-time — no order book, no liquidity providers needed

Why This Is Fair

  • No pre-sales — Everyone buys on the same curve
  • No rug pulls — Liquidity is locked in the contract, not held by the creator
  • Transparent pricing — The curve is on-chain and verifiable
  • Early supporters benefit — Lower entry price for those who discover the token early

Hyped Launch (Anti-Snipe)

For high-profile launches, creators can enable Hyped Launch mode:

  • 10x creation fee — Higher cost to launch, signaling commitment
  • Buy limits enforced — Gradual buy limits prevent bots from sniping the entire supply at launch
  • Fair distribution — Regular users get a real chance to buy before bots can accumulate

Hyped Launch is designed for tokens that expect heavy initial demand and want to ensure fair distribution from the start.

Discovering Tokens

The Token Launcher page lets you browse and discover tokens:

Tabs

  • Launching — Active bonding curve tokens still progressing toward graduation
  • Graduated — Tokens that have migrated to a DEX and now trade with full liquidity
  • Owned — Your personal portfolio of launcher tokens (requires wallet connection)

Filters & Sorting

  • Hot — Tokens with 5+ swaps in the last hour
  • New — Tokens created less than 1 hour ago
  • Sort by — Recent activity, newest, most progress, least progress
  • Search — Find tokens by name or symbol

King of the Hill

The token with the highest progress toward graduation is crowned King of the Hill and highlighted at the top of the page with a golden animated border and crown badge. This is the token closest to graduating to a real DEX pool.

Trading on the Curve

Buying

  1. Find a token on the launcher page or go to its detail page
  2. Enter the amount of CRO (or native token) you want to spend
  3. The bonding curve calculates exactly how many tokens you'll receive
  4. Confirm the transaction — tokens arrive in your wallet instantly

Quick Buy — Each token card has preset buy amounts (e.g., 25, 50, 100, 250, 500 CRO) for one-click purchases.

Selling

  1. Go to the token's detail page and switch to the Sell tab
  2. Enter the amount of tokens to sell (or use 25%, 50%, 75%, Max presets)
  3. The curve calculates your CRO payout
  4. Approve the tokens and confirm — CRO arrives in your wallet

Slippage

Default slippage is set to 5% for launcher trades (higher than DEX swaps due to bonding curve volatility). You can adjust this in the settings. If a trade fails due to price movement, increase your slippage tolerance.

Graduation Mechanics

A token graduates when it meets both targets set at creation:

  • Reserve target — The total amount of native tokens accumulated in the bonding curve
  • Volume target — The total buy volume reaching the required threshold

Progress is tracked as a percentage and displayed on every token card. When both metrics hit 100%, the token is eligible for graduation.

If auto-graduate was enabled at creation, graduation happens automatically. Otherwise, the creator can manually trigger it.

After graduation:

  • A liquidity pool is created on the target DEX
  • The bonding curve is permanently locked
  • The token trades normally on the Cronos DEX ecosystem
  • WolfSwap's aggregator includes the new pool in swap routing

What You See on Each Token Page

  • Price chart — Live bonding curve price history
  • Progress bar — Visual percentage toward graduation
  • Market cap — Current estimated market capitalization
  • Buy/Sell panel — Trade directly on the bonding curve
  • Recent trades — Full history of buys and sells with timestamps
  • Top holders — Ranked list of wallets by holdings and % of supply
  • Token details — Contract address, creator wallet, social links
  • Share button — Tweet about the token directly

Supported Chains

The Token Launcher is available across multiple chains:

  • Cronos — CRO as the native trading token
  • Abstract — ETH as the native token
  • zkCronos, Polygon, Base, Blast, Linea, Ethereum — Available as supported

Each chain has its own set of target DEXs for graduation.

Fees

  • Creation fee — A small fee to create a token (paid in native token)
  • Hyped creation fee — 10x the standard fee for anti-snipe protection
  • Swap fee — A small fee on each bonding curve trade
  • Graduation fee — Fee charged when the token graduates to a DEX

All fees are displayed transparently before you confirm any transaction.

Tips for Launchers

  • Add social links — Tokens with Twitter, Telegram, and a website build more trust
  • Write a clear description — Tell buyers what your token is about and why it exists
  • Set a reasonable graduation target — Too high and it takes forever; too low and the pool starts thin
  • Consider Hyped Launch — If you expect high demand, anti-snipe protection shows commitment
  • Engage your community — Tokens that graduate are the ones with active communities behind them

Tips for Buyers

  • Check the progress — Tokens closer to graduation have proven community interest
  • Look at holder distribution — A healthy token has many holders, not one whale
  • Verify social links — Tokens with real Twitter/Telegram accounts are more likely to have genuine teams
  • Start small — Use Quick Buy presets to test with small amounts before going bigger
  • Understand the curve — Early buys are cheaper, but selling pressure can drop the price quickly
