# Quickstart

> From zero to trading or launching on InkyPump V2 in a few minutes.

This page covers the three most common starting paths: trading a token, launching a token, and integrating from your editor through the MCP.

## Before you start

You need:

* A wallet with support for Ink mainnet (chain 57073)
* A small amount of ETH on Ink for gas
* A browser, or for the integration path, a terminal with Node 22 or later

Bridge ETH to Ink at [bridge.inkonchain.com](https://bridge.inkonchain.com) if you do not have any.

## Path 1: Trade a token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open InkyPump">
    Go to [inkypump.com](https://inkypump.com). Pick a token from the home page or paste its address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect your wallet">
    Click Connect, pick your wallet, switch to Ink mainnet.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Buy or sell">
    Enter the ETH or token amount. The preview shows expected output, the 2 percent fee, and price impact.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Sign in your wallet. The trade lands in the next block.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For the full mechanics, see [Trading on InkyPump](/trading/getting-started).

## Path 2: Launch a token

<Steps>
  <Step title="Go to the create page">
    [inkypump.com/create](https://inkypump.com/create)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fill in metadata">
    Name, ticker, description, image. Optional social links.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose your raise">
    Pick a target raise between 1 and 5 ETH. Pick a curve gain (1x to 21x). Pick your creator fee split (0 to 100 percent of the 1 percent variable fee).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Optional anti-snipe">
    0, 20, 40, or 60 seconds of captcha protection at launch.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Confirm">
    Pass the captcha, sign the transaction, land on your token's trade page.
  </Step>
</Steps>

For the full walkthrough, see [Create Your Token](/token-creation/getting-started).

## Path 3: Launch from your editor (MCP)

If you use Claude Code or Codex CLI, you can run the InkyPump MCP server locally and call its tools directly from your editor.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Generate a burner key">
    ```bash theme={null}
    umask 077
    printf '0x%s' "$(openssl rand -hex 32)" > ~/.inkypump-mcp-key
    chmod 600 ~/.inkypump-mcp-key
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Register the MCP">
    ```bash theme={null}
    claude mcp add inkypump \
      -e INKYPUMP_MCP_PRIVATE_KEY_FILE=$HOME/.inkypump-mcp-key \
      -e INKYPUMP_MCP_ENABLE_WRITES=true \
      -- npx -y @inkyswap/pump-mcp
    ```
  </Step>

  <Step title="Fund the burner">
    Read the public address with `wallet_info`, then send ETH to it.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use it">
    Ask the agent to call `launch_token`, `preview_launch`, or `recent_launches`.
  </Step>
</Steps>
