Question 1

Do I have to deposit HYPE before launching a token on HyperEVM?

Accepted Answer

Not on BT365’s current launchpad. A launch is one transaction the creator signs and broadcasts from their own wallet, so the creator pays their own gas directly, the way they would for any other transaction. There is no launch fee and no escrow. The only money in the transaction is the optional opening buy in HYPE and the platform’s ordinary routing fee on that buy, and if the launch fails the whole transaction reverts and nothing but the gas is spent. Our first-generation launcher, in which the platform’s wallet executed the launch, required a 0.1 HYPE gas escrow with the unspent remainder refunded afterwards; that model has been retired for new launches.

Question 2

Why do some launchpads ask for a gas deposit?

Accepted Answer

Because on those launchpads the platform’s own wallet signs the launch transactions, and the gas for them has to sit in that wallet before the first one signs. Either the platform keeps a funded float — which can run dry and is a honeypot for anyone who compromises the key — or each creator pre-funds their own launch into an escrow that is measured against actual spend and refunded. A well-designed escrow verifies the deposit before committing anything, measures spend from transaction receipts rather than estimates, and refunds the remainder on-chain.

Question 3

What happens to my money if a token launch fails?

Accepted Answer

On BT365’s current HyperEVM launchpad the launch, the token deployment and the creator’s opening buy are one atomic transaction. If any part fails, the whole transaction reverts, the opening buy and fee are never taken, and only the gas is spent. A launch that did land but whose confirmation was lost is reconciled from the chain rather than launched again, so the same ticker is never deployed twice.
