How to take a launch live
Launch on the pad you already use, attach a stream, and the coin has a page that goes live on its own. Start to finish it is about a minute of clicking and one wallet signature. Here is every screen you will see on the way.
Sign in
Hit Connect wallet in the top right. The chooser covers MetaMask, Rabby and any EVM wallet, or plain email.
If you sign in with email and have no wallet at all, one is created for you and attached to that address. It signs like any other wallet and you can export it later, and nobody at CastPad can move funds in it.
Open Launch
The white Launch a coin button sits in the header on every page, next to the wallet button. White is an action you can take on this site. Nothing here signals with colour: a channel that is broadcasting right now is marked by the only badge on the site that moves.
The flow runs on one page. If you leave halfway through, your draft is saved in the browser and picks up where you left off. The logo is the one thing that does not survive a refresh.
Where it gets minted
CastPad does not mint your coin. A launchpad does, and you keep exactly the terms that launchpad offers. There is nothing to pick on the screen: a launchpad already implies its chain, and only one pad can mint today, so the flow goes straight to it.
Pons v2, on Robinhood ETH, is that pad. It is named on the review step and on the preview, so you see where the coin is going before you sign. Robinhood ETH is an EVM chain with a retail on-ramp in front of it, so the audience already holds a balance there.
Noxa and Hood Pad on Robinhood ETH, and Pump and Bags on Solana, are listed in the docs as coming soon. None of them has a contract wired up, so none of them can mint, and CastPad would rather offer no choice than a choice that cannot run. The moment a second pad is real, the picker comes back.
Fill in the coin details
Name, ticker, and optionally a logo and a description. Both text fields have a character counter, because both are written into the token's metadata and cannot be edited afterwards on most launchpads.
Skip the logo and the coin gets a lettermark built from its ticker. It looks deliberate rather than missing, and you can always replace it later on launchpads that allow metadata updates.
Attach the stream
Paste a Twitch, YouTube or Kick link. A channel URL, a bare handle, even a YouTube watch link: they all resolve. The preview panel starts playing the moment the link is recognised, so you can see the page before you pay for it.
The link is stored in the coin's metadata, not in a CastPad database. Any client that reads the token can find the broadcast, and the page keeps working whether or not we do.
You can leave it empty. The coin page renders without a player and you can attach a channel from that page whenever you are ready.
Confirm in your wallet
The review screen lists everything one last time, including what the launchpad charges and what CastPad takes on top. Nothing has been signed up to this point.
Hit confirm and your wallet takes over. Approve it there, and when it lands you get the coin page and its link.
After the launch
Share one link. The coin page carries the player, the chat, the chart and the buy box. There is no second URL to post.
Going live is automatic. When your channel starts broadcasting, the page flips to live and the coin appears on /live, sorted by concurrent viewers and mixed in with every other launchpad. Nothing to toggle.
Off air is not off. An offline channel still leaves a working page. The chart, the chat and trading all carry on without you.
Common questions
The ones that come up before the first launch.
Do I need a wallet before I start?
No. Sign in with an email and one is created for you. It is a real wallet you control and can export. It just skips the browser-extension step.
Which launchpads can I launch on?
Pons v2, on Robinhood ETH, is the one wired up today: that mint is real and it finishes inside this flow, which is why the flow goes straight there rather than asking. Noxa, Hood Pad, Pump and Bags are listed as coming soon and cannot mint yet. CastPad is the live layer on top of launchpads rather than a launchpad itself, so the list grows without the flow changing.
Can I change the stream link later?
Yes. The link is a metadata field, and updating it is free on launchpads that allow metadata updates. On launchpads that freeze metadata at mint, it is fixed, and the launch flow says which is which before you sign.
What does CastPad charge?
--
Who holds the tokens?
You do, in your own wallet. CastPad has no custody of keys, tokens or proceeds at any point. The mint is a transaction between your wallet and the launchpad's contract; we are the interface, not a party to it.
My channel is live but the page says offline.
Live state is polled, so there is a short lag after you go on air. If it persists, check that the link points at the channel and not at a past broadcast or a clip: those are single videos and never report as live.
Is any of this financial advice?
No. CastPad is a live and discovery layer for token launches, not an adviser. Tokens launched through it can lose all of their value, including yours, and nothing on this site is a recommendation to buy anything.
That is the whole thing.
Roughly a minute, one signature.
