Creating Tokens on RuneShot

Once your RuneShot account is funded, you can launch directly from the interface - no wallets or extra tools needed.

Creating a new token on RuneShot costs around ~$8 in BTC, which covers the necessary Bitcoin gas fees

🞷 Quick Start: Creating Your Token

1. Make sure your RuneShot account is funded. Deposit BTC to your unique RuneShot deposit address. (If you haven’t done this yet, see the “Getting Started” section.)

2. Go to the New Token tab on RuneShot.

3. Fill in the details:

   • Ticker: The symbol or full name of your token. (A minimum of 4 character and a maximum of 14 characters, not including spacers.)

   • Description: Short explanation, meme, or mission statement

   • Icon: Upload a small image file (PNG, JPG, SVG, or GIF - max 25kb)

4. Click “Create!” The system will deduct the BTC fee and initiate your bonding curve.

🟆 Phase 1: Bonding Curve Auction Begins

• 800,000,000 tokens (80% of total supply) are made available for purchase through a bonding curve.

• The bonding curve starts with a low base price and increases automatically as more tokens are bought.

• Buyers can purchase tokens using the BTC they’ve deposited into RuneShot, with purchases executed instantly on NEAR.

• The price per token increases gradually based on how many tokens have already been sold -encouraging early participation.

There is no secondary market yet - all buys and sells go directly through the bonding curve contract.

🞷 Buying and Selling During Bonding Curve Phase

• Buyers get tokens added to their self-custodial RuneShot account instantly.

• Sellers can return tokens back to the curve in exchange for BTC at the current curve price (if not fully bought out yet).

• There are no gas fees or wait times - all trades are handled by the near-instant NEAR backend with fees covered by RuneShot.

🟆 Phase 2: Graduation

• Once 0.5 BTC is raised through the bonding curve, the token graduates.

• This marks the transition from the curve auction to a liquid secondary market.

Once the threshold is met, the token automatically graduates from the bonding curve.

🞷 Upon graduation:

• 0.5 BTC raised from the curve is automatically paired with the remaining 200,000,000 tokens (20% of supply, minus fees)

• This pairing creates a fully initialized liquidity pool on Rhea Finance

• Token trading now shifts from the bonding curve to Rhea - all within the RuneShot interface

From Bonding Curve → Market:

• Trading continues on RuneShot through Rhea

• Users can now withdraw tokens, provide LP, or trade via Rhea’s aggregator

• RuneShot remains the hub, but the token is now fully liquid and backed by a BTC-based pool
