Crypto Token Launch Marketing Checklist
Updated October 1, 2026
Short answer
A token launch needs three phases of marketing: preparation (brand, socials, contract and links ready), launch day (announce, pin, list on discovery boards such as Cashboard, activate your community) and the first week (daily updates, KOL posts, a second promotion around a milestone).
Before launch
- Name, ticker and logo decided; logo exported as a square image.
- Short description written (one or two sentences) plus a longer version for your website.
- X account and Telegram created, with bios and profile images.
- Launch post and thread drafted, including the contract placeholder.
- A list of 10 to 20 relevant crypto accounts you would like to work with.
- A small budget split into launch day and a later milestone.
Launch day
- Deploy or create the token and double-check the contract address.
- Publish the launch post on X with the contract and pin it.
- Pin the contract and official links in your Telegram.
- Complete your token profile on screener sites so your logo and links appear on charts.
- List the project on discovery boards. Cashboard supports launched tokens, pump.fun tokens and presales on Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Tron and Robinhood Chain.
- Reply to every early question in Telegram and on X. Early responsiveness builds trust.
First week
- Post at least one update a day: holders, community content, roadmap progress.
- Run one or two disclosed KOL posts and measure the traffic they bring.
- Re-promote around your best milestone instead of spreading budget evenly.
- Collect questions people ask and answer them in a pinned FAQ.
Measure what works
Use separate links (for example with ?utm_source=) for each influencer or group so you can see which one brings visitors. On Cashboard, project owners can see card views, detail opens and link clicks for each 24-hour promotion in their profile.
Frequently asked questions
- When should I start marketing a token?
- Prepare everything before launch, but announce the contract only when it is live. Most attention happens in the first hours, so have your posts, links and listings ready in advance.
- Which chains does Cashboard support?
- Ethereum (ERC-20), BNB Chain (BEP-20), Solana, Base, Arbitrum, Polygon, Tron (TRC-20) and Robinhood Chain.
