The cost to launch a token on Robinhood Chain is gas plus whatever you put in the pool. The MintPlus route charges no launch fee and waives the standard lock fee as of August 2026, so every other line — vesting, airdrops, a launchpad raise — is an optional extra rather than a requirement.
The three routes, priced
There are three ways to bring a token to market on this chain, and they cost very different amounts for reasons that have nothing to do with quality.
The free path. Mint, pool and lock in one transaction through MintPlus. Fees: none. Costs: gas, and the ETH you pair with your supply.
The free path plus paid extras. The same launch, with Team Finance services layered on where you need them — a vesting schedule for a team allocation, an airdrop, a staking pool. Each is priced per use and dated below.
A launchpad raise. A pad handles the sale, the curve and often the pool creation, and takes a cut of what is raised. That cut is the largest cost in this guide and the one that varies most between pads.
The dated fee table
Team Finance prices as of August 2026, from team.finance/robinhood. Gas is paid separately in ETH on top of every row.
| Line item | Cost (as of August 2026) | Required? |
|---|---|---|
| MintPlus token launch | Free — the standard lock fee is waived | The free path |
| Gas for the launch transaction | Paid in ETH, per transaction | Always |
| ETH paired into the pool | Your capital, not a fee | Always |
| Liquidity lock outside the launch flow | $150 per use | Optional |
| Token lock | $150 per use | Optional |
| NFT lock | $150 per use | Optional |
| Vesting schedule | $100 per use | Optional |
| Airdrop | $100 per use | Optional |
| Multisender | $50 per use | Optional |
| Staking pool | Free for a limited time | Optional |
| Pro plan, unlimited use | $2,500/year | Optional |
| Launchpad raise | A share of the raise, set per pad: —pending | Only if you raise |
Team Finance is a multi-chain Web3 token-management suite that projects and individuals use to lock liquidity, vest tokens, mint and manage supply across chains. It is also our sister product — Locksley is built by TrustSwap and powered by Team Finance — so the disclosure comes with the prices. When the free option fits, which for most fair launches it does, take the free option.
The costs that are not on any fee page
The pool is the real budget. The ETH you pair with your supply dominates every other number here, and it is not spent — it is deployed. It sits in the liquidity pool taking the other side of every trade, which means it can end up worth more or less than you put in. Fund it thin and a single sell craters your chart. Fund it deep and you have real money at market risk from block one.
Gas is per transaction, not per launch. Gas is charged for deploying, for pooling, for locking, for every later change, and for every failed attempt. Budget for several transactions rather than one, especially if you are configuring anything unusual.
Retrofitting is more expensive than planning. A lock created inside the MintPlus transaction costs nothing beyond gas. The same liquidity lock added afterward is a standalone service at the per-use price, plus gas again. The same applies to vesting: setting a schedule before tokens are distributed is one transaction, and unwinding a distribution that already happened is not possible at all.
Locking is optional, and plenty of launches skip it. If yours does, know how the absence reads on a token page: "No lock found" means we found none — not that none exists. Locksley does not yet index every locker.
Distribution costs time or money. No fee schedule covers getting anyone to look. That budget line is real whether you pay it in weeks of posting or in labeled placements, and it is unpacked in getting your token listed and noticed.
Is the launchpad cut worth it?
Only you can price that, but you can frame it precisely. A pad charges a share of what you raise, in exchange for the sale mechanics, an audience already watching that pad, and usually an automatic pool creation at graduation; the TrustSwap Launchpad publishes its own terms for that model, and TrustSwap builds Locksley, so read that as a disclosure rather than a recommendation. Against that, the free path costs gas and gives you every configuration choice yourself, including the pool depth and the lock date.
The honest test is whether the pad brings buyers you could not reach. If it does, its cut is the price of distribution. If it does not, you paid a percentage for software you could have run for gas. Compare the pads on their published mechanics — —pending pads are indexed on Robinhood Chain launchpads, and every Robinhood Chain launchpad, compared sets their fees, graduation rules and lock policies side by side. Free vs paid launch routes takes the decision head-on.

Frequently asked questions
How much ETH do I need to launch a token on Robinhood Chain?
Enough for gas on several transactions, plus whatever you intend to pair with your supply in the pool. The gas portion is small and varies with network conditions. The pool portion is entirely your decision and is the number that matters — it sets how deep the market is and how far a single trade moves your price.
Is a free launch worse than a paid one?
The launch route determines what a transaction costs, not what a token is worth. A free MintPlus launch and a launchpad raise both end with a token contract and a funded pool. What differs is who runs the sale, who sets the pool parameters, and whether you paid a share of a raise for access to that pad's audience.
What is the cheapest way to lock liquidity when launching?
Locking inside the MintPlus launch transaction, because the standard lock fee is waived there as of August 2026 and you pay only gas. Locking afterward is a separate service at $150 per use through Team Finance, our sister product, plus gas for that transaction. The mechanism and the release timestamp are identical either way — only the timing and the fee differ.
Do I pay Locksley anything to be listed?
No. A token page is created when a pool is created, with price, pool depth, holder distribution and lock state read from the contracts. Nothing is submitted and nothing is approved. We charge for the doing, never for the reporting. Paying never changes how a token's data displays.
“No lock found” means we found none, not that none exists: we do not index other lockers yet, and it is never a claim about the project.
