# Creation Guide

Base.meme supports two creation modes:

* **Standard mode**: a simple one-step flow using platform defaults.
* **Advanced mode**: a two-step flow that lets you customize `Raised` (funding target) and token distribution, including an optional vesting allocation to lock tokens and release them over time after graduation.
