The launch day timeline
A running order for the first six hours, written as a call sheet: who is on the desk, what is published when, and which decisions have deadlines.
Open the entryLaunch day: the first hours, run from a call sheet
Launch day is the phase people plan least and remember most. It is short, it is public, and it is the only stretch where a decision has to be made in minutes rather than days. The entries filed here treat it the way a production treats a broadcast: a running order with named owners, a budget with a stop line, and a triage procedure for the moment something does not happen.
Three of these pages are about what to do. One is about what to do when the plan meets a quiet market, which is the ordinary case rather than the exception.
- Phase
- Two and three of four. The first hours, and the curve that runs through them.
- Starts at
- The signed mint. Ends when the day is logged, not when you get bored.
- Owns
- The running order, the spend, the distribution that hardens, the stop line.
- Hardest part
- Deciding in advance what you will do in hour four if nothing happens.
4 entries in this phase
The hours where a launch is decided in public: the running order, who does what, how the curve responds to early buying, what a budget covers, and how to behave when the room goes quiet.
02Analysis
First buyers and distribution
How the first wave of buying shapes a holder list, what concentration actually indicates, and how to read your own distribution without flattering it.
Open the entry03Budget
Budgeting the curve
Where money goes during a curve launch, how to write a budget in SOL that survives a bad hour, and the arithmetic behind every line of it.
Open the entry04Triage
When a launch stalls
A triage sequence for a quiet curve: diagnose before spending, separate the fixable from the finished, and decide what an honest wind-down looks like.
Open the entryWhere this phase sits
Launch day is decided by the preparation that preceded it and judged by what survives into the following week. The other two phase files hold both ends of that.
PHASE 01 Preparation Everything that has to be finished, agreed and written down before the mint transaction is signed: metadata, wallet policy, communications, budget and the checklist that ties them together. PHASE 04 After graduation What changes when a curve closes and an AMM pool opens: liquidity mechanics, the handover in your own operations, and a week-one plan that does not depend on the market cooperating.
