The interface is a single form divided into two sections: the left side contains token creation inputs, and the right side displays a live "Token Preview" panel that updates as you fill in details.

5.2 Anti-Sniper Protection

Sniper bots monitor the mempool for new tokens and attempt to buy large quantities immediately at launch, causing price spikes before organic buyers can enter, then selling at profit.

How Initial Buy Protects:

  • Purchase executes in the same transaction as token creation

  • Bots cannot frontrun an action within the creation transaction

  • Establishes initial liquidity at your price point

  • Creates immediate price floor

5.3 Initial Buy Amounts

You're buying at the initial bonding curve price and can sell these tokens later like any holder.
