    Use an existing [Funder](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/funder/funder/), or choose **Fresh Funder** → **Deposit** and send the required asset on the displayed network.
    
    Fresh Funder and existing Funder follow the same funding and launch flow.

5.  ## Swap to the quote asset (optional)

6.  ## Set up automations (optional)
    
    Before launching, configure the automations you want from the Funding panel:
    
    [Sniper Guard
    
    Trigger a protective action when your sniper thresholds are reached.
    
    ](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/funding/sniper-guard/)[Auto Buy / Auto Sell
    
    Plan automated buys or sells with your chosen strategy and limits.
    
    ](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/live-settings/auto-buy/)[Volume Bot
    
    Plan automated buy-and-sell rounds with your volume target and timing.
    
    ](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/live-settings/volume-bot/)
    
    Save their settings and check that their status is **Planned**. Available options depend on the chain and launchpad.
    
7.  ## Launch
    
    **Normal launch:** Deploys the token and starts the configured developer and holder buys, plus any cleanup included in your launch plan, with the selected mode and delays.
    
    **[Scheduled Mode](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/launch-settings/#advanced-settings-optional):** Deploys the token and executes the developer buy, if configured and supported. Holder buys wait until you trigger **Snipe** from the Live Workspace; the Funder may need topping up first.
    
    **[Imported token](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/chain-and-launchpads/import-token/):** Confirm with **Snipe** to start the configured buys on the existing token, without deploying a new one.
    
    **[Manual](https://proxima-docs.pages.dev/create-launch/launch-settings/launch-modes/#manual):** Deploys the token and executes the developer buy, if configured and supported. Holder wallets stay funded; you submit their buys yourself from the Live Workspace.
