# Curated Launches

Curated Launches are reviewed and coordinated with Loadout. We look at the team, the product and the available builds, then work through launch preparation with the developer.

### What we review

Give us clear team information, the game's current state, available gameplay or builds, the roadmap and a realistic use of funds. Show what has been delivered and identify what still needs work.

A released game is not required. Loadout can fund development, and teams with released or revenue-generating games can also launch.

### Launch target and terms

The target for a new Curated Launch is **150 SOL in real bonding-curve reserves**. Review the actual project configuration before announcing or signing the launch. Existing projects can use earlier settings.

Choose the token model and review allocations, vesting, staking, buybacks and protection settings with the team. The standard game fee schedule is 5% on the curve and 2% in the official graduated pool.

### What verification means

Verification records that a project has gone through our review. It cannot guarantee that the game will ship, that the token will appreciate or that trading will fund the whole development budget.

Instant projects can apply for review later. Verification and token configuration are separate; a review does not automatically change an existing token's settings.

### Ongoing communication

Curated teams need to keep their communities informed. Publish progress, explain delays, show the work and communicate material changes to plans or commitments.

Fee income depends on eligible trading activity. Treat a successful token launch as the start of a relationship with the community and keep building from there.
