Launch checklist
End-to-end checklist for a new vault on Base (v1.14.1). For legacy vaults (older releases, e.g. AKITA), infrastructure may differ. See Glossary — new vault launch.
Creator coin on Base · 50M–100M tokens for activation · signing ready · launch bundle paid.
Prerequisites
- Creator coin live on Base (typically Zora)
- 50M–100M creator coin for activation deposit
- 4626 account with execution-ready signing

Launch procedure

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pay launch bundle | Deploy unlocked in app | Pay launch fee |
| 2 | Deploy contract stack | Vault, shares, gauge, oracle, auction live | Deploy contracts |
| 3 | Activate vault | Deposit + fair-launch auction scheduled (Phase 2–4 UserOps) | Activate vault |
