# Creator Guide

This guide is for creators who want to launch and share a creator market during the public testnet.

## Before You Launch

Make sure you have:

* Signed in.
* Connected a supported social identity.
* Selected or confirmed your creator profile.
* Switched to Base Sepolia.
* Claimed or received testnet funds if the launch flow requires a transaction.

## Launchpad

Launchpad is where creators start the market creation flow.

The flow may ask you to confirm:

* Creator identity.
* Display name and handle.
* Token details.
* Social links or profile metadata.
* Wallet transaction approval.

## After Launch

After launch, you should review:

* Your creator profile.
* Your market page.
* Token lifecycle status.
* Any launch or trading activity.
* XP, badges, and creator rank.

## Sharing Your Market

Share your creator page or market page with testers. Ask them to check:

* Whether your profile information is correct.
* Whether your market is visible.
* Whether trading and activity display as expected.
* Whether your rank, XP, and badges make sense.

## Creator Rank

Creator rank is a profile and participation signal. It helps users understand creator activity during the testnet, but it does not guarantee market quality, financial performance, rewards, or platform endorsement.
