# Copy of Getting Started Vertigo is designed to take the tech lift out of operating a token launchpad. Using Vertigo as your token launcher backend is simple. Usually, a launch looks something like this: 1. Create the mint on chain 2. Deploy a pool and enable trading 3. Announce deployment and watch traders go ## The Mint There are so many ways to do a token, and in the future there may be more. For that reason, we chose not to limit launchers in their token configuration options. Any token can be used with Vertigo pools. **All we need from you is the mintAuthority, so that fresh tokens can be minted to the pool.** Everything else is up to you. ## The Pool Once the token is ready to go, deploy a pool with your chosen parameters. Parameters can be as simple or complex as you want. We provide sensible defaults that work out of the box, but feel free to experiment with different liquidity and fee settings to discover what your users like best. ## Trading Make sure your frontend integrates trading on Vertigo pools to allow your users to trade. Trading on a Vertigo pool is simple: You either **buy** or **sell**, with an optional setting for slippage. That's it. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
