# Create a boost

> Create any boost in the same three-step wizard — recipient, conditions, a token or Conditional tips (no token), then confirm in your wallet.

**Create Boost** is the same wizard for every boost. It has three steps, then a review, then a confirmation in your wallet.

Open it from [Explore boosts](https://heroboost.me/explore/boosts). If the wizard does not open on its own, use **Open Create Boost**.

![Explore Boosts with the sidebar closed and a Create Boost button](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/01-open-from-explore.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=349112e022b9b6c6bc6fc1843422ab98)

Where to start — Explore Boosts, then Create Boost

You need a verified Hero account and the wallet you use for on-chain actions. Sign-in can be **Sign in with wallet** or **Sign in with Google**; the boost itself is confirmed in that wallet.

**1. Recipient and amount**

**Recipient on X** — enter their public X handle. If they are already on HeroBoost, the wizard shows their profile and **On HeroBoost**. Check that this is the right person, then confirm with **I checked that this is the right person to receive funds**.

**Who contributes?** — **Just you**, or **Community fundraise**.

![Who receives the boost and who can contribute](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/02a-recipient-who-contributes.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=ba4eef4f75e7443a18ec2f61251441e4)

Recipient and amount — who receives the boost, and who can contribute

**What are you giving?** — **USDC**, **Another token**, or **B20 equity** (tokenized equity on the allowed list). **Another token** can be any ERC-20, for example WETH. What people contribute is what the recipient receives if the round succeeds. A liquidity pool and other advanced token features are usually available only for tokens on the allowed list.

**To raise or tip for yourself, enter your own X handle as the recipient.**

**Funding goal** — the minimum total raised before the recipient can launch. **Funding cap** — leave it open so people can keep joining past the goal, or set a fixed cap that stops new joins at your limit. A fixed cap must be at least the funding goal.

![The asset, the funding goal, and the early-access cap](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/02b-asset-and-funding-goal.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=905b6e2e87474f09fcca8ce1a8630bb8)

Recipient and amount — the asset, the funding goal, and the early-access cap

**2. Tip conditions**

This step is optional. You can leave outcome rules off.

A round can wait for one outcome, not both. [Polymarket](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/outcome-gates/polymarket.md) is the larger choice: those markets already exist, you pick one, and you cannot write your own question there. [IMD Oracle](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/outcome-gates/imd-oracle-question.md) is the smaller choice: you write your own yes/no question. USDC, B20 equity, and another ERC-20 can all use either choice.

Paste a request you already have, or pay for a new question, on [IMD oracle question](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/outcome-gates/imd-oracle-question.md).

**Funding ends** must be on or after the time that result can be settled. [How outcome gates work](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/outcome-gates/overview.md) explains the shared rule.

![Both outcome choices are off, and Funding ends is set.](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/03a-tip-conditions-choices-off.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=5252a969778a74059873b8646d56d82d)

Both outcome choices are off, and Funding ends is set.

![The prediction-market link is on, a market is chosen, and the winning side is Yes.](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/03b-tip-conditions-polymarket-on.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=46e88500900a40532e8b716b12cbfca6)

The prediction-market link is on, a market is chosen, and the winning side is Yes.

**3. Token choice**

The wizard labels this **Round 1**.

**Does the recipient need to create a token?**

* **Recipient doesn't need to create a token** — Conditional tips (no token). Raised funds go to the recipient when they launch. This path does not create a token, and this boost does not open later token rounds.
* **Recipient must create a token to reward tippers** — this is the token launch. They set up a commemorative token and share it with people who funded the boost. You then choose how that token is distributed, or open **Custom token settings**.

![Create Boost step 3 of 3, Round 1, with the token choice menu open, a launch code field, a platform fee line, and a network gas line](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/04-token-choice-round-1.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=34167c96e1a8837ad633bd90bcf03fc6)

Round 1 token choice — the open menu and the fee lines shown before you confirm

Some actions can include a fee. The amount is shown before you confirm. The main plans are on the [HeroBoost pricing page](https://heroboost.me/pricing). Smaller fees that page does not list are on [Pricing](https://docs.heroboost.me/pricing.md).

Under **Custom token settings**, the token name is Make ALTCOIN GREAT Again, the symbol is ALGA, decimals are 18, and the max supply is 21,000,000,000.

![Custom token settings with token name Make ALTCOIN GREAT Again, symbol ALGA, decimals 18, and max supply 21,000,000,000](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/05a-token-name-and-supply.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=abe9456449191c1382378b98f18c3f13)

Custom token settings — name Make ALTCOIN GREAT Again, symbol ALGA, decimals 18, max supply 21,000,000,000

On **Token distribution (round 1)**, this boost mints 0.01% of the max supply, **Customize backer pool and other buckets** is on, and the backer pool is 85%.

![Token distribution round 1 at 0.01% of max supply, customize buckets on, and backer pool 85%](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/05b-distribution-and-backer-pool.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=eb87591973a676bc25077dd41fb24d1c)

Token distribution (round 1) — 0.01% of max supply, customize buckets on, backer pool 85%

**Other round buckets** are creator 5%, recipient 10%, treasury 0, and liquidity 0, so the bucket total is 100%.

![Other round buckets with creator 5%, recipient 10%, treasury 0, liquidity 0, and bucket total 100%](https://mintcdn.com/hb-bb10ae76/lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3/images/guides/boost/create/05c-other-buckets.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=lI-PBRP_pBkOb0t3\&q=85\&s=85c7000bd7fc59d2dc3b973fc0d6f85a)

Other round buckets — creator 5%, recipient 10%, treasury 0, liquidity 0, bucket total 100%

**Extra funds policy (round 1)** lets joiners vote how extra funds are split, and the **Next round proposer** is Recipient (hero). If you set a launch code, share that exact code only with the recipient. They enter it when they launch after funding succeeds.

**4. Review and confirm**

**Review your boost** shows the recipient, funding, tip conditions, and token choice. Then choose **Create boost in wallet** and confirm in your wallet.

## Someone who is not on HeroBoost yet

If the handle is valid but not on HeroBoost, the wizard says **Not on HeroBoost yet**. You can still continue with that handle. When they create a Hero account and sign in with that same X account, **For you**, then **Invites**, shows this boost. They link a wallet when the boost launches.

**Check the handle yourself.** Not on HeroBoost does not mean the handle is missing on X. Open **Show optional X check**, add your own X API key under **Settings → API keys**, then use **Check on X**. HeroBoost does not run that check for you. It uses your key and your X quota.

After the boost is on chain, **Share this invite** gives you the boost link and a suggested post. Share it so they can find the boost and claim it when their X account matches.

## After you create it

Open the boost and use [Read a boost](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/read.md). Round 1 is covered in [First round](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/rounds/first.md). A token boost can continue in [Later rounds](https://docs.heroboost.me/guides/boost/rounds/later.md). Conditional tips (no token) do not create a token, and they do not open a later token round.
