ANIKA — the Anika Inc token

1Deploy the ANIKA token

This creates the ANIKA token contract on Base: name Anika Inc, symbol ANIKA, fixed supply 100,000,000 ANIKA. The full supply is minted straight into the wallet that signs — your wallet. There is no mint button afterwards, no tax, no blacklist, no owner powers. Once it is deployed, the token is public and anyone can hold and transfer it.

2Open trading (create the market)

Deploying makes ANIKA public and transferable — but for people to buy and sell it, the token needs a market. This step creates that market: a liquidity pool on Uniswap V2 (Base). You choose how many ANIKA and how much ETH to seed the pool with. The ratio between the two amounts IS the opening price — there is no other price setter. The ANIKA and ETH you enter leave your wallet and go into the pool, and you receive LP tokens back in your wallet as your receipt — whoever holds the LP tokens controls that share of the pool, so keep them safe.

Enter both amounts to see the opening price.

Your wallet will sign two transactions, in order: (1) approve the Uniswap router to move exactly the ANIKA amount you entered, then (2) add the liquidity. Minimum amounts are set 0.5% below what you enter, and the transaction expires 20 minutes after you sign it. On a brand-new pool the full amounts go in.
