# Launch Your App

> Step-by-step launch flow using current protocol contracts.

## Overview

Launching an Elata app is a two-phase process. Phase A registers your app. Phase B deploys the full token stack.

**Total cost:** 110 ELTA (10 ELTA registration + 100 ELTA bonding curve seed).

***

## Phase A: Register (10 ELTA)

Register your app metadata and Safe wallet address through the AppFactory.

1. Prepare your Safe multisig wallet
2. Approve 10 ELTA for the AppFactory contract
3. Call `registerApp()` with metadata and your Safe address
4. Your app appears in the store immediately (no token yet)

***

## Phase B: Deploy Token Stack (100 ELTA)

Deploy the full token infrastructure by seeding the bonding curve.

1. Approve 100 ELTA for the AppFactory contract
2. Call `deployToken()` from your Safe
3. The protocol deploys: App Token, Bonding Curve, Staking Vault, Vesting Wallet, Ecosystem Vault

**What gets deployed:**

| Contract          | Purpose                                   |
| ----------------- | ----------------------------------------- |
| App Token         | ERC-20 with 10M supply                    |
| Bonding Curve     | Constant-product price discovery          |
| Staking Vault     | Token holder staking                      |
| Vesting Wallet    | 25% team allocation with vesting schedule |
| Ecosystem Vault   | 25% ecosystem reserves                    |
| Contributor Split | Revenue distribution to contributors      |

***

## Post-Launch State

After Phase B, your bonding curve is in `PENDING` state. Activate it to begin trading.

The curve moves through: `PENDING` to `ACTIVE` to `GRADUATED` (or `CANCELLED`).

<Note>
  Creator allocation (team vesting) is subject to vesting schedules. Tokens vest linearly over the configured period.
</Note>

***

## Important

* Transfer tax (up to 2%) applies to token transfers that touch allowlisted LPs
* Fee routing begins immediately when trading starts
* The 100 ELTA seed becomes part of the bonding curve reserve and is not directly withdrawable
