BNB Chain buyers are careful because they have seen many rugs. A launch that passes their checks is half the battle. Follow this list in order. It builds on the general token launch checklist.
Before launch
Contract
- Final supply, name and ticker.
- Taxes: keep them low and fixed, or none at all.
- Owner powers: no blacklist, no minting, no trading pause unless you truly need them.
- Plan to verify the source code on the block explorer right after deployment.
Wallets and funds
- A BNB wallet for the deployer, and your master wallet in Mentat Booster.
- BNB for gas, liquidity and your promotion budget.
Community
- A Telegram group or site that is ready for newcomers.
- A short pinned message about what the project is.
Launch
- Deploy the contract and verify it.
- Create the PancakeSwap pool and add liquidity. See how PancakeSwap works for token launches for V2 and V3.
- Lock the liquidity and share the proof.
- Buy and sell a small amount yourself to confirm both work.
- Run the Token Analyzer on your own contract. Fix whatever it flags. BNB Chain honeypot and rug pull checks lists what buyers look for.
First hours
- Start a bump session so fresh buys appear while the first visitors arrive.
- Complete your profile on DexScreener and DEXTools.
- Respond to every question in your community.
First week
- Add DexScreener reactions.
- Run a volume session for steady activity.
- Consider a trending placement timed with an announcement.
- Share updates on a regular schedule so the community has something to follow.
Mistakes to avoid
- No lock and no explanation. Buyers assume the worst.
- Hidden owner powers. They are what honeypot checkers flag first.
- A thin pool. Every trade swings the price and scares buyers.
- One-day budgets. A token needs visibility for weeks. Read why new tokens die and how to keep yours alive.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need to lock liquidity on BNB Chain?
It is not required, but it is one of the strongest trust signals on EVM chains. Buyers often skip tokens whose liquidity is not locked.
Should I renounce ownership of my contract?
If your contract does not need owner powers after launch, renouncing removes the most common worries for buyers. Make sure you do not need those powers first.
How much BNB should I keep for promotion?
Enough to run a bump or volume session and keep gas in reserve. The bot shows the cost of a session before you start.
