# Launch your first coin

> Launch a Pons coin at sponsor.gl/launch and direct its fees to an X profile, in one transaction.

Launching takes one transaction at [sponsor.gl/launch](https://sponsor.gl/launch). The result is a real Pons coin with its creator fee share directed to the X profile you choose.

<Note>
  **Before you start.** The connected wallet pays the launch fee, any dev buy, and gas. [Wallet setup](/getting-started/wallet-setup) covers adding Robinhood Chain and bridging ETH.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Connect your wallet">
    Open [sponsor.gl/launch](https://sponsor.gl/launch) and connect. The **Launch coin** button activates once a wallet is connected.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in the coin details">
    **Name** and **Symbol** are required. **Logo**, **Description**, **Website**, and **Telegram** are optional. The coin's X link is filled automatically from the profile you pick next.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Direct fees to an X profile">
    Type the @handle and press **Resolve**. The app shows the profile it found, with its avatar, @username, and numeric id. Fees follow the numeric id, so a handle rename later changes nothing.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm your choice">
    Tick the confirmation checkbox under the resolved profile. The fee direction is set once, at launch, and stays with the profile you picked, so give the resolved @username and id a quick look before confirming.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set the dev buy (optional)">
    Enter an ETH amount under **Dev buy (optional, ETH)** to buy your own coin inside the launch transaction. The tokens land in your wallet. The fee line shows your total: "Launch fee: 0.0005 ETH", plus your dev buy if set. Sponsor charges nothing at launch; its **20%** platform fee comes out of collected fees later ([Fees & parameters](/reference/fees-and-parameters)).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Launch">
    Press **Launch coin** and confirm in your wallet. On success the page shows "Your coin is live and its fees are directed to @username." with links to the coin's page and the explorer.
  </Step>
</Steps>

From then on the coin's page tracks lifetime fees and collections, and the profile's page lists it under "Tokens directing fees here". For what happens onchain, see [How launching works](/launch/how-launching-works).
