# Getting Started

AI can generate ideas instantly, but there is no system that can decide which ones deserve to continue. IdeaFoundry creates a persistence layer that turns raw prompts into ventures and measures real on-chain demand to determine which ideas should advance.

IdeaFoundry validates ideas by routing all early trading into a closed, internal market that is fully on-chain but non-transferable. 

At launch, the full token supply is minted, however, every token is held by the factory/bonding curve contract and cannot enter circulation. Users trade against internal balances only, generating clean on-chain signal without creating external liquidity. This eliminates the possibility of pair-creation exploits.

### Getting Started

#### Launch a Venture

1. Go to <https://ideafoundry.xyz/> and create an account with email
2. Tap/click **“Launch Venture”** and enter a phrase for your dream idea
3. Pick 1 of 5 prompts
4. Generate token mission data (less than 2 minutes total)
5. Edit if needed
6. Connect wallet (BNB Chain), mint Venture token (1B supply, bonding curve), auto-listed
7. If you didn’t tokenize right away, you can find your token later under **"My Profile"** to complete tokenization later

#### Trade Ventures

1. Find the token (search, link, or sort)
2. Tap **View Details & Trade**
3. Choose from 200+ supported assets, connect wallet, trade. [See the list here.](https://ideafoundry1.gitbook.io/ideafoundry-docs-1/supported-assets)&#x20;
4. Claim tokens upon graduation only. This is to eliminate the possibility of pair-creation exploits.&#x20;
