Private launches
Launch a token without showing everyone how much you hold.
The problem with creator wallets
On a normal launchpad, the creator's first buy is the most-watched transaction on the token. Everyone knows exactly how much the creator holds, and every move that wallet makes afterwards is read as a signal — a small sale to cover costs can look like the creator walking away.
Launching privately
| Normal launch | Private launch on Ztonk | |
|---|---|---|
| Launch transaction | From your wallet | From your private wallet, funded through the shield |
| Your first buy | Visible, tied to you | Made by that same unlinked wallet |
| How much the creator holds | Public | Unknown |
| Creator rewards | Paid to the launch wallet | Claimable to any address you choose |
Fund your private wallet through the shield, then switch on Launch privately. The launch and your first buy are signed by the private wallet; your main wallet never appears.
Collecting rewards privately
Creators earn a share of every trade. On Ztonk you can claim those rewards to any address, not just the one that launched the token — for example straight into a fresh wallet, or back into the shield.
Launching from a fresh wallet
The token itself records which wallet launched it. With Launch privately that's your private wallet, and its only funding is a shield withdrawal submitted by the relayer — nothing traceable to you.
