Launch a vault

Turn your creator coin into a 4626 vault on Base in four steps, all in the app.

Launch path

1. Pay $499
2. Deploy
3. Activate
4. Go live

This guide is for creators launching a new vault on Base. As of 2026-09-05 this is the supported path for new vaults. Older vaults may have launched differently.

What you'll need

• A creator coin live on Base (for example, a Zora creator coin)
• 100 million of that coin to deposit
• $499 USDC for the launch fee
• A 4626 account that can sign transactions

Details and a quick self-check are on Before you start.

The four steps

Step	You do	Result
1. Pay the launch fee	Pay $499 USDC	Deploy unlocks
2. Deploy contracts	Name your shares, submit one transaction	Your vault exists, empty
3. Activate the vault	Deposit 100,000,000 creator coins	Shares are created and split for launch
4. Go live	Watch in the app	Auction runs, then trading opens

You do steps 1–3. 4626 runs the rest: the earn strategy, the auction, the Solana bridge, and the settlement that opens trading. After the vault exists, the Vault manual covers deposits, strategies, and what happens if a strategy cannot pay the vault back.

tip

Activation doesn't start trading. Your shares become tradable only after the auction settles. Why.

Start

Open the deploy app at app.4626.fun/deploy/vault.
