# Launch Requirements

> Everything you need before deploying an app on the Elata protocol.

## What You Need

Before launching, make sure you have:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Safe multisig wallet">
    Every app is controlled by a Safe. Create one at [safe.global](https://safe.global) with your team members as signers.
  </Step>

  <Step title="110 ELTA tokens">
    10 ELTA for registration + 100 ELTA for the bonding curve seed. Both are paid to the protocol during launch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="App metadata prepared">
    Name, description, logo, social links. See [App Metadata and Listing](/apps/build/app-metadata) for the full spec.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Understanding of the two-phase flow">
    Phase A registers your app (10 ELTA). Phase B deploys the token stack (100 ELTA). See [App Lifecycle](/apps/app-lifecycle) for details.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Cost Breakdown

| Item               | Cost         | What It Does                                       |
| ------------------ | ------------ | -------------------------------------------------- |
| Registration fee   | 10 ELTA      | Registers app metadata and Safe in AppRegistry     |
| Bonding curve seed | 100 ELTA     | Seeds the initial ELTA reserve for price discovery |
| **Total**          | **110 ELTA** | Full launch                                        |

<Warning>
  The registration fee is non-refundable. The bonding curve seed becomes part of the trading reserve and is not directly withdrawable.
</Warning>

## Safe Wallet Setup

The Safe multisig is the owner of your app on-chain. It controls:

* Contributor split configuration
* Team vesting wallet
* Ecosystem vault
* App metadata updates

Set up your Safe before starting the launch process. Add all core team members as signers with an appropriate threshold (e.g., 2-of-3 for a small team).

## Network Options

| Network                | Gas Cost           | Use Case                |
| ---------------------- | ------------------ | ----------------------- |
| Ethereum Mainnet       | \~\$260 at 20 gwei | Production              |
| Base                   | \~\$2-5            | Production (lower cost) |
| Sepolia / Base Sepolia | Free               | Testing                 |

<Tip>
  Start on a testnet to validate your launch flow before spending real ELTA. Use the faucet to get test tokens.
