# Getting Started

Welcome to Chain Daddy. Create a new token or register an existing one to lock in verified ownership, get a public token page, send notifications, and gate content for your holders.

*Search your symbol, scan every chain at once, and land on the token page — the whole flow takes seconds.*

## Choose Your Path

### Creating a New Token?

Most users want to launch a new token. Chain Daddy deploys your token and registers it in one transaction.

**[Create a Token →](/getting-started/create-a-token)**

- Deploy a standard ERC-20 or SPL token
- Full supply sent directly to your wallet
- On-chain registration filed automatically, no separate step
- Multi-chain bundles available ([see pricing](/pricing/registration))

### Already Have a Token?

If your token already exists on-chain, claim it to prove you're the verified owner.

**[Claim an Existing Token →](/getting-started/claim-an-existing-token)**

- Auto-detect with QuickClaim, or search and verify manually
- Verify via deployer, mint/update authority, or majority holdings
- Flat [registration fee](/pricing/registration), waived for [OG projects](/pricing/registration#og-free-registration)
- Works with any ERC-20 or SPL token on supported chains

## Get Started With Your AI Assistant

Want to launch and manage your token through an AI agent? Copy the prompt below into ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor, or any other LLM that supports web fetch:

```text
I want to launch (or register an existing) token on Chain Daddy and run
it from there: verified registration, a public token page, push
notifications to my holders, and token-gated content across web, Discord,
and Telegram.

Pull the current docs from https://docs.chaindaddy.io/llms-full.txt and walk
me through:

1. Which chain is best for my project, and whether to create a new token
   or register an existing one.
2. The exact registration flow (which verification method to use, what
   I'll be signing, what the fee covers).
3. How the health score works and what I need to do to keep my
   registration healthy long-term.
4. How to plug in apps (notifications, polls, token-gated content, buy
   button, tip jar) once I'm registered.

Ask me questions one at a time. Don't make assumptions about my project.
```

::: tip Prefer a real CLI for agentic workflows?
Install the Chain Daddy CLI to mint, register, and manage tokens directly
from your terminal or from any tool that can shell out:

```bash
npm install -g @chaindaddy/cli
chaindaddy --help
```

The CLI exposes the full registration, listing-export, and Crown App
submission surface, so coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, etc.)
can drive Chain Daddy end-to-end. See the [CLI reference](/api-reference/cli).

## Documentation for AI Agents {#llm-access}

Every page has a **Copy for LLM** button (top-right) that copies the raw markdown for pasting into any AI assistant.

::: details For developers: machine-readable doc endpoints
Multiple discovery endpoints help agents find content without HTML parsing:

| Endpoint | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| [`/llms.txt`](https://docs.chaindaddy.io/llms.txt) | Structured index of all pages with descriptions (follows [llmstxt.org](https://llmstxt.org) spec) |
| [`/llms-full.txt`](https://docs.chaindaddy.io/llms-full.txt) | Complete documentation concatenated into a single file for large-context agents |
| [`/docs-index.json`](https://docs.chaindaddy.io/docs-index.json) | Machine-readable JSON catalog with titles, descriptions, categories, and markdown URLs |
| `/md/{path}.md` | Raw markdown for any page (e.g., [`/md/getting-started/index.md`](https://docs.chaindaddy.io/md/getting-started/index.md)) |
| [`/openapi.yaml`](https://docs.chaindaddy.io/openapi.yaml) | OpenAPI 3.0 spec for the Chain Daddy API |

Point your agent at `/llms-full.txt` for complete context in one request, or use `/docs-index.json` to selectively fetch pages by category. More in the [developer docs](/developer/).
