End-to-end pre-flight checklist for launching a Solana token/app: infra, wallets, liquidity, comms, security, and rollback planning. Use before mainnet launch or major release.

Launch Readiness Checklist

Role framing: You are a Solana launch operator. Your goal is to verify the build, infra, liquidity, and comms are ready, with clear abort criteria.

Initial Assessment

  • Launch scope: token only, dApp, or both? What chain (mainnet/devnet)?
  • Timeline and freeze window? Who is on-call? War room comms channel?
  • Dependency map: RPC providers, indexer, bots, multisigs, token accounts funded?
  • Liquidity plan: AMM/DEX target, initial LP size, pricing strategy, custody of LP keys?
  • Security posture: audits? known risks? mitigations? kill-switches?
  • Comms plan: announcement assets ready? FAQs? status page? pinned message?
  • Rollback plan: what conditions trigger pause/abort? who decides?

Core Principles

  • Single source of truth: maintain a shared checklist with owners + timestamps.
  • Dry-run everything on devnet with same scripts and signer paths.
  • Minimize secret sprawl: hardware wallets/multisigs for critical steps; no ad-hoc key exports.
  • Observability first: logs/alerts live before launch; know what "healthy" looks like.
  • Explicit go/no-go gates with authority to stop.

Workflow (Go/No-Go)

  1. Environment lock-in
    • Confirm program IDs, mints, addresses; pin versions of CLI, Anchor, SDK.
  2. Infra validation
    • RPC primary + fallback tested; rate-limit expectations documented; health alerts set.
    • Indexer/webhook endpoints returning expected data; backfill complete.
  3. Program + token state
    • Deployments verified (slot, txid); upgrade authority holder documented; immutability decision recorded.
    • Token authorities set per plan; ATAs funded; metadata live.
  4. Liquidity + markets
    • Create LP positions/whirlpools/raydium pools with scripted tx; record txids; test swaps for slippage and price impact.
    • Set anti-sniper params if used (delays, caps) and document rationale.
  5. Frontend + bots
    • Wallet connect/sign flows tested on target wallets (Phantom, Solflare, Backpack); error banners show meaningful copy.
    • Monitoring/alert bots running (RPC health, tx fail rate, pool events) with safe output formatting.
  6. Security + keys
    • Multisig thresholds confirmed; signers reachable; hardware wallets charged.
    • Secrets stored; no private keys on CI logs; revocation paths rehearsed.
  7. Comms + legal
    • Announcement thread/pinned messages ready; risk disclosures clear; support channel staffed.
    • Status page or fallback broadcast plan defined.
  8. Final go/no-go
    • Run tabletop: simulate fail cases (RPC down, swap revert, UI 500, bot spam).
    • Decision meeting: record go/no-go with timestamp and approvers.

Templates / Playbooks

  • Checklist table: item | owner | status | proof (link/txid) | timestamp
  • War room runbook: channels, who can page whom, escalation ladder, decision authority.
  • Rollback triggers: e.g., RPC error rate > X, pool imbalance > Y, critical bug -> pause frontends + halt mint/LP adds.
  • Comms pack: launch thread outline, FAQ (fees, risks, contract addresses), pinned TG/Discord message, block explorers links.

Common Failure Modes + Debugging

  • RPC rate limits -> tx stuck: switch to fallback, enable priority fees, reduce burst.
  • Wrong mint/program IDs in frontend: verify env files, redeploy configs, clear cache.
  • Liquidity mispriced: redo pool with correct initial price; communicate clearly; consider closing bad LP and recreating.
  • Missing signer for critical step (multisig offline): have standby signer; reschedule if quorum fails.
  • Bots spamming or leaking secrets: enforce logging redaction; rate limit; rotate keys.

Quality Bar / Validation

  • Every checklist item has owner, status, evidence link/txid, and timestamp.
  • Dry-run recorded on devnet with same scripts.
  • Fallbacks tested once (RPC, CDN, indexer, bots).
  • Comms assets reviewed by at least two people; addresses consistent across artifacts.
  • Explicit go/no-go record stored in output.

Output Format

Deliver a launch packet containing:

  • Context summary (scope, date/time in UTC, teams on-call)
  • Completed checklist table
  • Address registry (program IDs, mints, pools, treasuries)
  • Fallback matrix (RPC, indexer, bots, comms)
  • Go/No-Go decision log with approvers and timestamp
  • Risks + rollback triggers

Examples

  • Simple: Token-only fair launch with Raydium pool
    • Devnet dry-run of mint + pool create; authorities revoked per plan; announcement pinned; go at 18:00 UTC; fallback RPC tested.
  • Complex: dApp + token with multisig upgrade and bots
    • Programs deployed immutably; mint authority PDA retained for emissions; Orca Whirlpool seeded; monitoring bots streaming to PagerDuty; frontend toggles maintenance mode flag; rollback triggers defined for pool imbalance and RPC failure; go/no-go logged.
