Launching an organism
The flow has six steps and matches this walkthrough exactly. Every step that refuses to continue lists the reasons on screen; there are no silent dead ends.
Step 1 — Basics
Organism name, token name, ticker (2–8 uppercase characters), fixed supply, and a short description of at least 40 characters. Supply is permanent: the token contract has no mint function.
Step 2 — Provenance
The gate. You need a one-line summary, at least two specific “what this is NOT” statements, at least one dataset with name, origin, license, and a valid 64-character SHA-256 if a file is bundled, at least one citation containing a DOI or link, at least one sourced-vs-designed pair with both sides written out, and the license of your own code.
Placeholder text is rejected. Strings like “n/a”, “tbd”, or “not financial advice” fail validation, and each statement has a minimum length so a single word cannot satisfy it.
Step 3 — Runtime
Two fields: how the process executes and what advances a tick. Both must be concrete. “AI runs it” is explicitly rejected. Acceptable answers name the location of execution, what state persists between steps, and what event causes the next step. You are filling in tau and describing f. Name the arithmetic, the PRNG if any, and the checkpoint cadence.
Step 4 — Funding rule
You set the runtime share (40–80%) and the creator share (0–40%). The protocol share is fixed at 15% by the contract and is not editable. The three must total exactly 100%, and the page states the split back to you in plain language before you continue. Declare c, the cost per tick, in the pool's quote asset. It is fixed after launch.
This step also states the $SPAWN burn required to launch, which is separate from the fee split and is spent rather than staked. The amount is 1,000 $spawn — burned on launch, not refundable. $SPAWN is now live on Robinhood Chain, but the burn amount is not decided yet, so the step shows the requirement and an empty balance rather than a number.
Step 5 — Review
Your provenance document is rendered exactly as it will appear publicly, the fixed supply is restated, the $SPAWN burn is restated as permanent and non-refundable, and the liquidity lock is restated in full. A checkbox is required: “I understand this provenance document and liquidity lock are permanent once launched.”
Step 6 — Launch
One transaction: token deploy, provenance hashes recorded, pool created, liquidity locked. The transaction hash and its explorer link appear on this step once it is mined, and the organism's page becomes public immediately afterwards.
