Sumo supports BNB Smart Chain launches through **PancakeSwap V2 BSC**. The flow deploys an ERC-20 launch token, creates a WBNB pair, adds initial liquidity while public trading is closed, submits atomic BSC bundle buys, and then opens trading.

## Prerequisites

Before launching, make sure you have:

1. Token metadata ready: name, ticker, image, description, and social links
2. Total supply and token decimals
3. BNB for deployment, pool setup, initial liquidity, bundle buys, and gas buffers
4. A launch plan: target supply control, pool-token percentage, bundle wallet count, and optional tax settings
5. A wallet plan: use ready wallets from private keys, [Wallet Farm](/wallet-farm/overview), or another profile, or create new BSC wallets / buy aged BSC wallets through [Wallet Marketplace](/wallets/wallet-marketplace) during the wizard

> **BNB and WBNB**
>
> Operators enter BNB amounts in the launch wizard. Sumo creates a WBNB-quoted PancakeSwap V2 pool and stores WBNB quote metadata on the active profile.

| **Initial Liquidity BNB**          | BNB supplied by the dev wallet during pool setup.                                                                                                                                             |

| **Injection Wallets**              | Optional extra wallets, up to 100, funded with BNB for activity after launch. They do not buy in the launch or take part in cleanup.                                                          |
| **Funds Per Injection Wallet**     | Shown when Injection Wallets is above 0. BNB sent to each injection wallet during funding. Defaults to 0.                                                                                     |

### Tax Controls

PancakeSwap V2 BSC launch tokens use the shared EVM tax controls. Tax controls are optional and disabled by default; when disabled, the token deploys from the no-tax contract template.

| Setting                                | Description                                                                        |
| -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Initial Buy Tax / Initial Sell Tax** | Taxes used during the initial post-launch tax window.                              |
| **Final Buy Tax / Final Sell Tax**     | Taxes used after the tax switchover block window.                                  |
| **Tax Switchover Blocks**              | Number of blocks before final taxes replace initial taxes.                         |
| **Max Supply Per Wallet Limit**        | Optional maximum token balance per non-excluded wallet.                            |
| **Tax Clog**                           | Accumulates tax tokens on the contract and allows swaps to BNB for the tax wallet. |
| **Max Tax Swap Amount**                | Maximum tax-token amount sold in one automatic swap.                               |
| **Min Blocks Between Tax Swaps**       | Cooldown between automatic tax-token swaps.                                        |

### 3. Wallets

Add, import, or generate wallets for each required BSC role.

| Role                  | Description                                                                                                      |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Dev Wallet**        | Deploys the token, creates the PancakeSwap V2 pool, adds liquidity, opens trading, and receives retained supply. |
| **Tax Wallet**        | Receives tax proceeds and submits later tax or limit updates when tax is enabled.                                |
| **Bundle Wallets**    | Execute BSC bundle buys before public trading opens.                                                             |
| **Injection Wallets** | Optional wallets funded with BNB for activity after launch. They take no part in the launch or cleanup.          |
| **Holder Wallets**    | Receive tokens through post-launch cleanup when token cleanup is not Off.                                        |

You can use ready wallets, create new wallets, or buy aged wallets at this step. Ready-wallet paths include importing private keys, pulling wallets from [Wallet Farm](/wallet-farm/overview), or reusing wallets from another profile. Additional paths include creating new wallets or buying aged inventory from [Wallet Marketplace](/wallets/wallet-marketplace).

Sniper wallets are not used by PancakeSwap V2 BSC launches.

### 4. Funding

Save the draft before funding. If CEX funding is enabled, deposit the estimated BNB into the funding wallet, check the balance, then use **Fund** to distribute BNB through Husher. If CEX funding is disabled, fund the dev, tax, and bundle wallets directly and use **Check Balances**.

The funding table tracks BNB requirements for the dev and bundle wallets. It supports address copying, allocation randomization, per-wallet allocation edits, and balance checks.

### 5. Strategies

Optionally add starter strategies to the profile before launch. You can configure [Counter Trade](/strategies/counter-trade), [DCA](/strategies/dca), and [Limit Order](/strategies/limit-orders) strategies by hand, or apply a strategy preset: Sumo ships built-in **Hyped**, **Standard**, and **Staircase** presets, and your org can save its own presets for reuse across launches and imports. Strategies are saved with the draft and can be reviewed after the token is live.

### 6. Launch Preview

For PancakeSwap V2 BSC, the preview action sequence is:

1. **Deploy Token** - Deploys the generated BSC ERC-20 launch token from the dev wallet.
2. **Create Pool** - Creates the PancakeSwap V2 WBNB pool, sets launch-wallet exemptions, and adds initial liquidity while public trading remains closed.
3. **Launch** - Submits the atomic BSC bundle, confirms landed transactions on-chain, opens public trading, activates the profile, and submits ownership renounce when configured.

> **BSC Bundles**
>
> PancakeSwap V2 BSC launches use BSC bundle submission for the launch sequence. Sumo still checks landed transactions on-chain instead of relying only on builder status.

## After Launch

When the bundle lands and public trading opens, the profile becomes active and opens in Live Trading.

## Launch Logs

PancakeSwap V2 BSC profiles add a **Launch Logs** tab for deploy, pool creation, bundle submission, confirmation, and post-launch actions.
