# How it works?

Tokens launched on PumpBase follow a streamlined and transparent process that removes complexity for creators and ensures fairness for investors. Unlike bonding-curve models, every token on PumpBase goes **directly live on Uniswap V3**, ready for trading and tracking from day one.

### Project Setup

Before launching, creators prepare their project details:

* The creator connects their wallet to the PumpBase platform to begin the launch process.
* Adds name symbol for the token.
* Upload project logo, add website, social links, and About section.
* Configure fees (<mark style="color:$warning;">Coming Soon</mark>).
* Choose reward models and token pairs (<mark style="color:$warning;">Coming Soon</mark>).
* Select how much the **developer wallet will buy** at launch.
* Review all settings and confirm deployment.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Creators must connect their wallet to launch a token. Investors, however, have the flexibility to either connect their wallet directly on PumpBase or trade through Uniswap.
{% endhint %}

*This makes the launch professional, transparent, and easy for the community to recognize.*

### Fair Participation

PumpBase integrates protections to ensure a fair start for everyone:

* Sniper protection prevents bot entries.
* Purchase and wallet limits keep participation balanced.
* Rewards are distributed transparently and automatically via smart contracts.

### Liquidity and Listing

Once the setup is complete, PumpBase handles the rest:

* Liquidity is added directly to **Uniswap V3** — there is no bonding curve or virtual liquidity step.
* Trading begins immediately, making the token live and accessible.
* Tokens are visible and tradable on Uniswap V3.
* Projects appear on all dex tracking platforms like Dexscreener.
* The 1% Uniswap fee is automatically enforced and split: **50% to the creator, 50% to LP providers.**

*This ensures fair liquidity management without manual steps.*
