Launch coins and Team Battles in the bot
Launch a coin on any of 9 chains from the Manna Telegram bot in three steps, set every option on the launch card, or start a Team Battle between two coins, each on the chain you pick, paid from your cash.
You can launch a coin without leaving Telegram. The bot asks for a name, a ticker and a picture, then shows a launch card with the same main choices as mannas.fun: pair, creator fee and split, sniper shield, graduation curve, first buy, lock, socials and holders-only chat. Everything is paid from your universal cash, signed by your own wallet, and your first buy goes in before anyone else's. The bot can also start a Team Battle: two coins that launch together, each on the chain you pick, and fight for a war chest.
Launches are live on all 9 chains: Solana, Robinhood Chain, Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and Avalanche. Pick the chain on the launch card. On every chain the bot pays from your cash and signs with your own bot wallet, so there is nothing to approve.
Launch in three steps#
- 1Send
/launchor tap π Launch on Home. - 2Name. "π Let's launch a coin. What's it called?" Send 1 to 32 characters, like
Zuzu the Otter. - 3Ticker. The bot suggests one from the name (the first letters of each word, or the name itself for one word, up to 8 characters). Tap Use $ZTO to take it, or type your own: up to 10 characters, any letters, numbers or symbols, like
ZUZUorshi.gov. No spaces, and Manna adds the$for you. - 4Picture. "Nice. Now send a picture for $ZUZU, or skip it." Send it as a photo (tap π and pick an image), or tap Skip picture β.
- 5The launch card opens. Change anything you like, then tap π Launch $ZUZU.
Your draft is saved as you go. Send /launch again any time to return to the same card. To stop a question (name, ticker, linkβ¦), send /cancel: the draft stays as it was. Once you answer, the bot clears its question and your reply from the chat.
Picture rules#
- Send it as a Telegram photo, or as a file in PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF.
- It must be 1.5 MB or smaller. For photos, the bot takes the largest size Telegram offers that fits.
- Too big: "That picture is too big. Send a photo, or a PNG / JPG / WEBP / GIF under 1.5 MB."
- To change it later, just send a new photo while the launch card is your draft.
The launch card#
The card shows your coin as it will launch:
π Launch a coin
π£ Solana
π· Name: Zuzu the Otter
π² Ticker: $ZUZU
πΌ Picture: β
π About: optional
π Socials: optional
π€ Pair: SOL
πΈ Creator fee: 1% (+ Manna's 1%) Β· split: Balanced
π° Your fee share goes to: you
π‘ Sniper shield: 10s, 90% the whole time
π Graduation: Normal (around 11x the start)
π Your first buy: none
π¬ Holders-only chat: off
Paid from your cash; your first buy goes in before anyone else.Anything you don't touch launches with Manna's quick-launch defaults: the chain's native pair, a 1% creator fee, the Balanced split, a 10-second sniper shield (90% flat on Solana), the Normal curve and no first buy.
Every button on the card#
| Button | Choices | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| π£ Solana / π’ Robinhood / π΅ Base / π‘ BNB Chain / βͺ Ethereum / π· Arbitrum / π΄ Optimism / πͺ Polygon / πΊ Avalanche | The launch chain. | Switching chain resets the pair, first buy and lock. |
| π· Name | 1 to 32 characters. | Can't change after launch. |
| π² Ticker | Up to 10 characters on Solana, 12 on Robinhood Chain and the other EVM chains. | Can't change after launch. Switching a draft to Solana cuts a longer ticker to fit. |
| π About | One line about your coin, up to 500 characters. Optional. | Shows on the coin page. |
| π Socials | π X, βοΈ Telegram, π Website. Send a handle (@yourcoin) or a link. Send - to remove one. | Shown on the coin's Manna page, and on DexScreener once listed. |
| π€ Pair | What the coin trades against, locked forever. Solana: SOL, USDC, tokenized stocks and pre-IPO tokens. Robinhood: ETH, WETH, USDG and stock tokens. Base, BNB Chain, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon and Avalanche: the native coin and USDC (no stock pairs). | With a pair other than the native coin, your first buy is in that token, and Manna swaps your cash into it. Changing the pair resets the first buy. |
| πΈ Fee | 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 3%, 5%, 10%, or X% βοΈ for any value from 0 to 10. | The creator fee every trade pays on top of Manna's 1%. Can't change after launch. |
| π° Split | Keep it all, Balanced, Give it back, Shill army, Burn it, Jackpot, Spread it. | Where your creator fee goes. See Fee routes. The AI credits and Custom splits are on mannas.fun only. |
| π‘ Shield | Off, 5s, 10s, 20s, 30s. Solana also picks the kind: 90% flat, 95% flat, 99% flat or Fading 99%β. EVM chains pick where the sniper tax goes: Comeback Fund, Holders, Burn or You. | Buys in the first seconds pay a big fee; your own launch buy skips it. Picking a kind while the shield is off turns it on at 10s. See Sniper shield. |
| π Graduation | Light (about 6Γ the start market cap), Normal (about 11Γ), Heavy (about 14.7Γ, the deepest pool). | When the coin leaves its curve for its locked DEX pool. See Curves and graduation. |
| First-buy chips | Solana: No buy, 0.1 SOL, 0.5 SOL, 1 SOL. Robinhood, Base, Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism: 0.005, 0.01 or 0.05 ETH. BNB Chain: 0.02, 0.05 or 0.2 BNB. Polygon: 50, 200 or 500 POL. Avalanche: 0.5, 2 or 5 AVAX. | X βοΈ for any amount up to about $10,000 worth of the chain's coin at today's price (for example about 66 SOL, 2.5 ETH or 50,000 POL), and never less than the biggest chip. With a non-native pair, one button asks for the amount in the pair token. |
| π Lock buy | Solana: No lock, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, 1 year. EVM chains: No lock or 30 days. | Only shown when you set a first buy. Puts your first buy in an on-chain lock nobody can open early, not even Manna. See Dev buy and locks. |
| π¬ Holders chat | On or off. | When on, only holders can post about the coin in Manna's feed and coin thread. |

| β Start over | Clears the draft. | Asks for a new name. |
Send your fee share to an X or Telegram account#
On Solana you can launch a coin for someone else, like a creator or an influencer, and send them your creator fee share:
- 1Tap π° Send my fee share to someone.
- 2Pick π An X account or βοΈ A Telegram account and send their username.
- 3The card shows "π° Your fee share goes to: @name on X".
Their fees wait safely until they sign in to Manna with that account. A Telegram account can also simply open the Manna bot. After that, Manna pays them every 15 minutes. After launch, a π£ Tell @name on π button lets you let them know. Tap β©οΈ Back to me to undo before launching. Coins on EVM chains always pay the creator wallet directly.
Confirm and launch#
Tapping π Launch $ZUZU shows a summary first:
π Launch $ZUZU Β· Zuzu the Otter on Solana?
π€ Pair: SOL
πΈ Creator fee: 1% + Manna's 1% Β· split: Balanced
π‘ Sniper shield: 10s, 90% the whole time
π Graduation: Normal
π Your first buy: 0.5 SOL (~$88.00), locked 30 days
Network costs: about 0.03 SOL, paid from your cash.
The name, ticker, pair and fees can't change after launch.
[β
Launch it] [β Back]What it costs#
| Cost | Solana | Robinhood Chain | Other EVM chains |
|---|---|---|---|
| Network costs shown | about 0.03 SOL | about 0.0003 ETH | the launch's gas at that chain's current gas price, in its own coin (ETH, BNB, POL or AVAX), with the dollar value |
| Manna launch fee | $0.50, included in the launch | $1, charged only after the coin is live | $1, charged only after the coin is live |
| Your first buy | whatever you set | whatever you set | whatever you set |
Before launching, the bot makes sure your wallet on that chain holds enough for the launch plus your first buy, and pulls whatever is missing from your cash on any other chain. On Solana a launch takes about 0.034 SOL (the coin's accounts, the $0.50 launch fee and network fees) plus your first buy. If your cash can't cover it, you're told how much the launch needs and how big a first buy fits. Unused SOL stays in your wallet as cash. See Fees.
Progress#
After β Launch it, the same message shows each step with β³ turning into β :
| Solana | EVM chains |
|---|---|
| Saving your coin | Saving your coin |
| Getting your wallet ready | Getting your wallet ready |
| Launching on Solana | Finding your Manna address |
| Putting it on Manna | Launching on Robinhood (or the chain's name) |
| Locking your first buy (if set) | Putting it on Manna |
When it's live#
The message changes to your coin's address, your first buy and these buttons: πΉ Trade $ZUZU, π Copy CA, π£ Share on π, π Open on Manna, π Launch another and β Home.
On Solana, if the coin launched but the lock on your first buy didn't go through, the bot says so. The coin stays live and you can lock the buy from the coin's page.
When it fails#
"β $ZUZU didn't launch:" and the reason, then "Your draft is saved." Tap β» Try again or βοΈ Edit. Two quick taps can never launch the same coin twice: while one launch runs, another tap answers "β³ Your coin is already launching."
If the server stops before it can report (rare), after 6 minutes the card says "Your launch of $ZUZU didn't report back" and that it may or may not have gone through. Check your coins on Manna first with π My coins. If the coin isn't there, tap β» Try again.
Team Battles#
A Team Battle launches two coins together, each on its own chain: Solana or Robinhood Chain (one tap each), or another EVM chain Manna is live on. When time is up, the coin with the bigger market cap in dollars wins. 50% of a Solana coin's creator fee fills a war chest during the battle, and the chest buys the winner for its holders, on the winner's chain (bridged with Relay when it's worth at least $5). Coins on EVM chains don't fill the chest. See Team Battles for the full rules.
Set one up#
- 1Send
/battle, or tap βοΈ Battle on Home or βοΈ Team Battle on the launch card. - 2"βοΈ Let's set up a battle. Two coins, one winner. What's Side A's coin called?" Send a name (1 to 32 characters).
- 3Pick Side A's ticker (type your own or tap the suggestion).
- 4"And Side B's coin?" Send a name, then pick its ticker. The two tickers must be different.
- 5The battle card opens.
βοΈ Team Battle Β· Solana vs Robinhood
Two coins launch together, each on the chain you pick. When time's up the bigger market cap in dollars wins.
π° Only $CATS (Solana) fills the war chest: half its creator fee. If $CATS wins, the chest buys it on Solana. If $DOGS wins on Robinhood, Manna bridges the chest there with Relay, buys $DOGS and sends it to its holders, when the chest is worth $5 or more (and 3x the gas there). A smaller chest goes to $CATS's holders instead.

Battle coins pair with their chain's own coin (SOL, ETH, BNB, POL or AVAX) and use the default shield (10 seconds, 90% flat), the Balanced split and the Normal curve. Each coin's description reads "Team $CATS in a Manna battle against $DOGS".
Confirm and start#
βοΈ Start $CATS vs $DOGS?
Launches $CATS on Solana and $DOGS on Robinhood and starts a 1 day battle, 1% creator fee on each.
Your first buys: 0.1 SOL into $CATS and 0.005 ETH into $DOGS (~$32.40).
Network costs on Solana: about 0.03 SOL (~$5.20), paid from your cash.
Network costs on Robinhood: about 0.0003 ETH (~$1.10), paid from your cash.

[β
Start it] [β Back]Network costs are about 0.03 SOL per Solana coin and a little of the chain's coin per EVM coin, plus the launch fee per coin ($0.50 on Solana, $1 on Robinhood). The bot then launches Side A, then Side B, then starts the battle, showing each step. When it's on, you get π °οΈ Trade $CATS, π ±οΈ Trade $DOGS, π£ Share on π, βοΈ Open the battle and βοΈ New battle.
If something fails midway#
Each side launches once. If Side A went live but Side B didn't, the message says so, and β» Try again picks up where it stopped: it launches only what isn't live yet, then starts the battle. A side that is already live can't change its name, ticker, picture, chain or first buy. You can start at most 3 battles per hour.
