By Wallets and funding
- Every participating wallet holds enough ETH for its planned buy plus a gas buffer, not just a bare gas estimate.
- Wallet addresses have been double-checked, not just copy-pasted once.
- Private keys or seed phrases for launch wallets are stored securely and never shared.
- Current network gas conditions have been checked shortly before execution, not hours in advance.
Contract and token configuration
- The token contract has been verified on a block explorer.
- Total supply, decimals and any transfer restrictions or taxes are reviewed and intentional.
- Contract ownership and any admin functions are understood - what can still be changed after launch, and by whom.
Liquidity and allocation
- The amount of ETH being paired as initial liquidity is decided and funded.
- A decision has been made on whether to lock liquidity, and for how long.
- The total planned allocation across all participating wallets is known and intentional.
Security review
- Wallets used for the launch are separate from wallets holding unrelated funds, where practical.
- No seed phrase or private key has been pasted into an untrusted tool or shared with anyone.
- The launch interface or bundler being used is the official one, not a copycat or phishing domain.
- Transaction details, including gas settings, are reviewed in the wallet's confirmation screen before signing.
Execution readiness
- All wallets are funded and confirmed on-chain before execution begins.
- The execution order and gas strategy are decided in advance, not improvised mid-launch.
- A plan exists for what to do if a transaction gets stuck pending due to a gas spike.
- Post-launch monitoring is set up so you can see how the token is trading shortly after liquidity goes live.
FAQ
- Does this checklist apply to any ERC-20 launch, or only bundled ones? Most of it applies broadly; the multi-wallet allocation items matter most once more than one wallet is involved.
- What is the single most common mistake this checklist is meant to catch? Underestimating gas during a demand spike and unreviewed contract parameters are two of the most common, avoidable causes of a launch not going as planned.
- Is locking liquidity mandatory? No, but it is worth deciding deliberately rather than leaving liquidity unlocked by default without having considered the tradeoff.
