# Create an Auction

Creating your own Auction has never been easier. It just takes three simple steps:

1. Select <mark style="color:green;">Create Auction</mark>. Then choose the Sell Asset, and the Buy Asset.&#x20;
   1. If your desired token is not in our token list, simply paste the token address into the search bar. Token addresses can be found on trusted websites like Coingecko.com and Coinmarketcap.com, or on the protocol's website.&#x20;
2. Set the price range
   1. The minimum price will be the lowest price a bidder can 'bid' on the asset.
   2. There are 100 ticks in every auction. Each tick is spread out evenly. The 'tick width' determines the gap between each tick, or bid/ask order *(if tick width = 1, then you could place a bid at 4 and 5, but not at 4.5)*
   3. The max price will be automatically calculated based on the minimum price and tick width
3. Select an end date. This will determine how long the auction will run.

After making the relevant confirmations and approvals, your auction will be live. Feel free to spread the word in the [Buttonwood Discord](https://discord.gg/fgh8QVP4).&#x20;

For new users, you can toggle to Goerli Testnet to get comfortable before spending the gas on mainnet.  &#x20;

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.prl.one/buttonwood/user-guides/buttonauctions-user-guide/create-an-auction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
