Launch stack for a new Solana token

Token, then pool, then bot

Create the SPL token and confirm the mint. Add liquidity on the venue you want people to trade, usually a Raydium pool when that is the chart you want. Only then paste the mint into the volume bot.

Skipping the pool means the bot cannot fill. Skipping the token means there is no mint to paste.

Launchlab is the other first step

If you are launching on IDX Launchlab instead of opening your own pool, create the coin there and use the Launchlab volume bot while it is on the curve. Add a DEX pool later, when the coin has graduated and that pool is the market you want.

Keep the campaign small until swaps are landing. Raise the engine after the tape looks the way you expect.

The first session is a check

Fund only enough SOL for a short run. Paste the mint, confirm the symbol, and pick a lighter engine. The point of the first session is to see fills on the market you just created, not to spend the whole budget before you know the pool can clear.

Look at the dashboard and at the pair. Buys and sells should agree with each other. If the price jumps hard on a small swap, the pool is thinner than the engine. Add liquidity or choose a lighter engine before you continue. Stop the bot when the check is done, then decide whether a longer run is worth it.
