Launch
Import a token
After this, you'll be able to bring a token that already exists into Ballistic, and you'll know why community takeover launches are gone.
You can bring a token that is already live into Ballistic by its name, symbol or contract address. Ballistic does not launch new community takeovers (CTOs) any more: the CTO snipe is retired on every launchpad.
Import a token
- Click Import a token in the sidebar.
- Type the token's name, symbol or contract address.
- Pick the chain: Solana, BSC, Base or Ethereum.
- Click Import only.
The token then opens in Ballistic, where you can trade it from the trade panel.
About community takeovers
A CTO used to mean buying up a live token's supply across your wallets in one coordinated snipe. That launch path is retired. The import dialog may still offer Launch as CTO for some tokens; where the launchpad does not support it, it tells you so.
What can go wrong
| Symptom | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The dialog says CTO isn't supported | CTO launches are retired | Use Import only. |
| The token isn't found | The contract address is wrong, or you picked the wrong chain | Check the address and the chain, then search again. |
