Launch a token on Base

From a natural-language brief to a deployed ERC-20 with liquidity.

Decide the parameters

• Name + ticker — short, memorable, unclaimed. Check the ticker isn't already a well-known token on Base.
• Supply — default 1,000,000,000 (1e9) with 18 decimals unless told otherwise.
• Tax / owner — default to 0% tax and renounced ownership for a fair launch; flag if the brief asks for taxes.

Launch checklist

1. Deploy a standard, audited ERC-20 (OpenZeppelin) — no mint-after-deploy, no hidden owner mint.
2. Seed an LP on Aerodrome/Uniswap v3 with the intended initial price; lock or burn the LP tokens.
3. Renounce ownership (or transfer to a timelock) and publish the verified source on Basescan.
4. Post the contract address + LP link; never share a deploy key.

Output

Return { name, ticker, supply, decimals, initialLpUsdc, ownerAction, steps[] } and a one-paragraph launch announcement.

Guardrails

Refuse honeypot patterns (transfer-blocking, unbounded owner mint, blacklist). Always state that this is not financial advice.
