01

Create Presale

Add the coin name and symbol, choose one ETH funding target, and set the funding window. You are the creator by default, or you can provide another creator address.

What happens

  • The funding target is the exact amount the presale contract uses to decide whether the launch can proceed.
  • The coin metadata, funding deadline, launch window, and creator address are fixed when the presale is created.
  • Review every value before signing. After contributions begin, the creator cannot withdraw the ETH or cancel the presale.
02

Live Presale

Share the presale and let contributors fund it directly with ETH. Everyone sees the same target, deadline, and amount raised.

What happens

  • Contributors send ETH directly to the presale contract. There is no token swap or approval step before contributing.
  • Each wallet's contribution and the total amount raised are recorded onchain.
  • The creator cannot edit the target or deadline after the presale is live.
03

Successful Presale

If the target is reached before the deadline, the presale becomes ready to launch. If it is missed, the token does not launch and Pepe Pad automatically processes the ETH refunds.

What happens

  • Ready to launch means the funding condition passed; it does not mean the token or market already exists.
  • Anyone can submit the launch transaction during the launch window. The creator does not have an exclusive launch right.
  • If the target is missed—or the launch window expires—the presale enters refunding, permanently blocks the token launch, and queues every contributor for the nightly refund run.
  • A manual Refund now option remains available only if an automatic refund is delayed.
04

Launch Token

Launch Token creates a standard fixed-supply token and its opening token/WETH liquidity without custom transfer fees.

What happens

  • The launch uses the presale's accepted ETH to create the opening token/WETH market.
  • The purchased token output stays in the presale contract until contributors claim their allocations.
  • The liquidity position is permanently locked and cannot be removed by the creator or Pepe Pad.
05

Post-launch Status

After launch, contributors claim their tokens. The presale page shows the completed result and the addresses needed to verify it onchain.

What happens

  • Each token allocation is proportional to that wallet's accepted share of the total contribution.
  • If the presale raised more than the launch target, the unused ETH remains separately refundable.
  • The presale address, launched token address, and transaction history remain available for onchain verification.
