Launch a coin on EVM

Elysium through Montra: your wallet sends the launch itself.

View as Markdown

Payday launches on EVM too, starting with Elysium (chain id 99901) through Montra. The same launch key works there. The difference from Solana: the wallet sends the launch transaction itself and tells Payday its hash. Payday never signs or sends anything for it.

Steps

  1. GET /evm/configs?chain=99901: pick a pairing. dev_buy says whether a dev buy is possible on it.
  2. POST /evm/quote with {"config_id": 0, "dev_buy": "0.5"}: what it costs in the native coin.
  3. POST /evm/launches: the one transaction to send.
  4. Send it from wallet exactly as it is, then POST /evm/launches/{id}/submit with {"hash": "0x..."}.
  5. Read GET /evm/launches/{id} until it says launched.
curl -X POST https://payday.direct/api/v1/evm/launches -H "Authorization: Bearer pd_YOUR_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "chain": 99901, "wallet": "0xTHE_WALLET_THAT_SENDS_THE_LAUNCH",
  "name": "Blockhead", "symbol": "HEAD", "image": "data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgo...",
  "fees_to": "someaccount", "config_id": 0, "dev_buy": "0.5"
}'
const { data } = await (await fetch(BASE + "/evm/launches", { method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify(req) })).json();
const tx = data.transactions[0];   // { name: "launch", to, data, value, gas }
const hash = await walletClient.sendTransaction({ to: tx.to, data: tx.data, value: BigInt(tx.value), gas: BigInt(tx.gas) });
await fetch(BASE + "/evm/launches/" + data.id + "/submit", { method: "POST", headers, body: JSON.stringify({ hash }) });

Rules on EVM

  • The wallet pays gas and its dev buy in the chain's native coin (HYPE on Elysium) and must hold enough before the launch is created.
  • Tickers are up to 10 characters with no spaces, names up to 32. Links must be https.
  • The DEX reimbursement goes to the wallet that sent the launch, in USDC on the same chain.
  • A launch sent without a submit is still found on chain within about a minute. One never sent expires after 15 minutes.
