# Launch your bot

> From your name and logo to a live, branded trading bot for your community.

**1. Share your identity**

Send us your community's name, your logo and a short welcome message.

**2. We configure your bot**

We create your bot in Telegram and set it up under your name, with the markets and community settings you choose. See [Your bot's settings](https://docs.lancetrade.xyz/owners/bot-settings.md) for what you can set.

**3. You become an owner**

We send you a one-time owner invite link. Open it in your bot and you become an owner, with your stats in the bot. The link works once, within 7 days. Your community can have more than one owner.

**4. Members connect and review permissions**

Share your bot's link with your community. Each member connects their wallet once and reviews the trading and fee permissions. See [Connect your wallet](https://docs.lancetrade.xyz/telegram/connect-wallet.md).

**5. Share the trading fees**

You receive 50% of Lance's bot fee on your community's trades. See [Fees and your share](https://docs.lancetrade.xyz/owners/fees-and-your-share.md).

## How long it takes

Timing depends on your branding and setup. [Book a demo](https://lancers.technology/contact) and we'll work through the steps and timeline with you.

## Before you share the bot

* **Post the bot's exact link** in your channel, and pin it. Impersonator bots copy names and logos, so members should only use the link you post.
* **Tell members it's on testnet.** While Lance runs on Hyperliquid testnet, trades use test funds.
* **Point them to these docs.** The [Quickstart](https://docs.lancetrade.xyz/quickstart.md) covers everything a member needs.
* **Don't promise results.** Trading perps is high risk. Don't tell members they'll make money, and share the [risk disclosure](https://docs.lancetrade.xyz/legal/risk-disclosure.md).

**Risk warning.** Trading perpetual futures with leverage is high risk. Prices can move fast and you can lose all the money you put in. Lance is software: it does not give investment advice, manage money or trade on anyone's behalf. Trades are executed on Hyperliquid, a third-party exchange that is not affiliated with Lance. Lance is not available to persons in the United States, the United Kingdom and sanctioned countries. Nothing on this site is an offer or solicitation where it would be unlawful.
