Token Configuration

• Supply: 100 billion (fixed)

• Max vault: 90% (min 10% to LP)

• Max extensions: 10

• Max reward recipients: 7

Fees & Protection

• Default sniper protection: 66% → 4% over 15 seconds

• Trading fees distributed to configured recipients

• 80% creator / 20% interface split by default

Best Practices

• Test first - Use /clanker simulate before real deployment

• Quality images - Upload to IPFS before deploying

• Configure vesting - Lock tokens to build trust

• Use vanity - Memorable addresses help marketing

• Deploy on Base - Lower gas fees than mainnet
