# What Is Flaunch?

Flaunch is a protocol for launching tokens and routing the value they generate after launch.

It is built around three core mechanics:

1. Trading fees can be allocated to the creator.
2. Creator revenue is paid in ETH.
3. The rights to that revenue are represented by an NFT that can be held, transferred, or managed by another contract.

This means a Flaunch token is not only a token launch. It is also a revenue position that can be used by creators, launchpads, and treasury products.

## What Flaunch Does

When a token is launched on Flaunch, the creator can define:

* The Token Metadata
* The Starting Market Cap
* The Fair Launch Supply And Duration
* The Creator Revenue Allocation
* The Launch Time
* Whether Revenue Should Flow To A Wallet Or A Manager

After launch, fees continue to flow according to those settings.

## What Else It Enables

* Fixed-Price Fair Launches That Remove Early Price Risk
* Auto Buybacks That Follow The Price Upward
* Transferable Revenue Rights That Can Move To Better Stewards
* Community-Owned Structures Built Around Shared Fee Flows

## Why Builders Use It

Flaunch gives builders more than a token launcher.

It can be used to:

* Launch Tokens Quickly
* Build Launchpads On Top Of The API Or SDK
* Route Revenue Into Treasury Managers
* Build Products Around Tokenized Revenue Rights

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.flaunch.gg/getting-started/why-flaunch.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
