Configure your launch

After this, you'll have your launch configured exactly how you want it, ready to fund and fire.

You configure the launch after you create your token and before you fund it. This is where you set the mode, the amounts and how many wallets buy at launch. Work through the form top to bottom, then move on to funding.

Launch mode

Pick Block-0 or Reserve, where your launchpad offers both. The mode decides how your buys land on-chain and how scanners see them. Launch modes explains both, with the trade-offs; read it first if you're unsure.

Total buy amount and dev buy

The total buy amount is how much SOL you buy across all your wallets at launch. The dev buy is how much your deployer wallet buys in the first block, when the token is created.

The SOL amount you enter is the source of truth. Ballistic derives the per-wallet split from it: you set the total and Ballistic divides it across your wallets.

Number of wallets

Set how many wallets take part in the buy at launch. Your total buy amount is split across this many wallets.

Wash toggle (Block-0 only)

Block-0 has an Automatically wash bundle switch, on by default, so the wash runs right after launch. Turned off, you run the wash yourself later with the Wash Bundle button on the token page. Delay between wash buys sets the pause between the wash's buys, from 0 to 10 seconds (default 10). See The wash.

Randomise balances

Randomise balances spreads slightly different amounts of SOL across your wallets, so they don't all show identical balances after they buy. It is off by default; turn it on.

Identical balances across every wallet are a tell. Different balances make the wallets look like separate traders.

Extra wallets

Extra wallets are wallets you fund that don't buy at launch. You use them afterwards to trade the token, buy back dips and defend the chart. The default is none.

Add them here if you want trading wallets ready after launch. They sit idle through the launch itself.

What's next

Once the config is set, you fund your wallets, then launch. See Fund your launch for how SOL moves from your funding wallet to your buyer wallets.

What can go wrong

Symptom	Likely cause	Fix
My wallets all have identical balances	Randomise balances is off (the default), so every wallet gets the same amount of SOL	Turn on randomise balances. It spreads slightly different amounts across your wallets so they don't all match.
I set an amount but the split looks off	The per-wallet amounts are derived, not set directly	The total SOL you enter is the source of truth. Set the total and let the split follow.
I want wallets that don't buy at launch	You need trading wallets ready but funded outside the launch buy	Use extra wallets. They skip the launch buy, and you trade from them afterwards for buybacks and defending the chart.
