Create a new launch

1.  ## Select a network
    
    Select the deployment network to see its available launchpads.
    
2.  ## Select a launchpad
    
    Choose the launchpad. It determines the available modes, currencies, fees and reward settings.
    
3.  ## Review integration-specific options
    
    Some launchpads have extra settings. Review the [Launchpad Options](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/launchpad-options/) before continuing.
    
4.  ## Define the token metadata
    
    Open **Configure Token** and fill in the following:
    
    -   **Project Name** and **Symbol**: the token’s public name and ticker. Add a **Description** if the form requires it.
    -   **Image or video**: JPG, PNG, GIF, MP4 or WebM, within the displayed limit (2 MB for images and 10 MB for Pump.fun videos). Crop images and check the preview.
    -   **Social links**: X/Twitter, Telegram and Website are optional. Use full URLs and fix any displayed errors.
    
    Custom token address
    
    On compatible Solana routes, open **Advanced Settings** and enable **Custom Token Address**.
    
    > **Warning**
    > 
    > Enter the token-mint private key, not a public wallet address. Never share this key.
    
5.  ## Create the token launch draft
    
    Select **Create** to save the metadata and open [Launch Settings](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/launch-settings/).
