Creating a coin
1
Pick the chain
Open Create and choose Robinhood Chain or Solana.
2
Name, ticker and picture
Add a name, ticker and picture and, if you like, a description and links (website, X, Telegram).
3
Choose the pair
Pick what the coin trades against: ETH or SOL, a stock token or a stablecoin. The pair can’t be changed later. See Chains and pairs.
4
Choose the coin type
Normal, or Rewards (Robinhood Chain): a 1%, 2% or 3% reward tax shared with holders every hour. See Reward coins.
5
Pick your launch options
Keep your Dev incentives or share half or all with holders, choose how long to protect your ticker, and whether to lock your dev buy.
6
Add a dev buy and confirm
Optionally buy some of your own coin in the same transaction, then confirm in your wallet.
The launch fee
Launching costs a flat $500, priced live in ETH or SOL. The Create page shows the exact amount before you confirm. Both chains charge the same fee. The fee is what makes a launch on 2hour.fun mean something: it makes low-effort copies of other people’s coins far less rewarding, and creators earn it back first through creator fees.Creator fees
The 1% fee on every trade of your coin is shared between you and 2hour.fun. You get 80% of it until you’ve earned back your $500 launch fee, then 20% for as long as the coin trades. Claim your fees from your profile at any time. Your creator dashboard shows what your coins have earned. Normal coins on Robinhood Chain can also add a creator tax of up to 5% that goes to you, under Advanced on the Create page.Dev buys
A dev buy lets you buy some of your own coin in the same transaction as the launch, so nobody can buy in before you.- On 2hour.fun a dev buy is capped at 50% of the supply, on both chains, so nobody launches holding almost all of their own coin.
- Whatever you hold shows publicly in the coin’s Dev holds badge. See Safety badges.
- A dev buy that’s held earns holder rewards on a Reward coin, like any other holding.
- You can lock your coins for 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days or a year, or burn them, so everyone can see you can’t sell them. See Lock your dev buy.
Protect your ticker
When launching, choose how long your ticker is yours: Off, 24 hours (the default), 3 days or 7 days. While it runs, any other coin launched with exactly the same ticker, on either chain, isn’t listed on 2hour.fun: Explore, Trade and search leave it out. Capitals and ”$” are ignored, so $SLY and $sly are the same ticker.- It starts as soon as your coin is live.
- Create checks the ticker as you type and won’t launch or reserve one that’s taken, so nobody pays for a coin that wouldn’t be listed.
- Anyone can still launch a coin with the same ticker straight from the contracts, so a hidden coin’s own page still opens from a direct link.
- Only the exact ticker is covered. Look-alikes aren’t hidden, but a coin with the same name or picture is still labelled Copy. See Original and Copy.
- It isn’t offered when reserving: a reservation holds its ticker from the moment it’s made.
Editing your coin’s info
After launch, you can update your coin’s description and its Website, X and Telegram links. Tap Edit info in the coin’s About card, or on the coin in your creator dashboard.- The name, ticker and picture stay as launched, so an Original stays the Original.
- The description can be up to 600 characters. Leave a link empty to remove it.
- Edited info shows Updated by the dev, with when.
- Only the coin’s dev can edit it, signed in to the account that launched it.
Edits show on 2hour.fun. The details written on the chain at launch don’t change, so other apps may still show the originals.
