Is the model and creator data real?
Yes. It is requested from the Hugging Face Hub, with short-lived caching. Missing values are shown as unavailable or omitted, not replaced with sample statistics. A directory listing is not an independent quality review.
Do I need an account just to browse?
No. Public model and creator discovery works without signing in or connecting a wallet. Launching needs Hugging Face identity, eligible repository access, and your own Solana wallet.
Can I run a model through Groq here?
Not in this version. There is no live Groq inference connection in hugpad. The Groq guide explains its service and links to current official documentation without claiming every Hub model is supported.
Can I launch for someone else’s model?
Not just because it is public. The namespace must match your verified Hugging Face account or an organization where Hugging Face reports admin/write access. See ownership verification.
How much does a launch cost?
The prepared preview shows an estimated SOL debit, including account funding and the network fee. There is no initial buy. The estimate comes from simulation and is not a guaranteed final cost or a universal fixed amount.
Does Prepare launch create a token?
No. It verifies access, uploads public media, builds the transaction, and simulates it. Creation requires your wallet approval, submission, and successful on-chain confirmation.
What if the launch fails or times out?
Read the error and check any recorded signature. A timeout does not prove the transaction failed. Do not create a second launch until the existing transaction is resolved; see troubleshooting.
Can I edit token details after launching?
hugpad has no post-launch editing flow. Review every field before signing and do not assume the published name, ticker, picture, or links can be corrected later.
Does a token give model rights or inference access?
No. The model’s license and access conditions remain those published by its author. A token does not transfer intellectual property, revenue, weights, or hosted inference access.
Does HF verified mean a safe or verified token?
No. The badge describes a profile status reported by Hugging Face. It is not a Hugpad launch certificate, investment recommendation, or guarantee of a model’s quality.
Why is the website always a Hugpad address?
The launch flow fixes it to https://hugpad.co/<mint address>. The current app does not supply a working coin page at that destination. Use the confirmed pump.fun link to inspect the created coin.
Why are there no live launches in the directory?
The Launches browsing page has no connected live listing source in this version. Its empty state is intentional; hugpad does not invent tokens, market figures, or creator launch histories.
