# Launch a Community on Common

**What is a Community on Common?** 

A community on Common is both a coordination hub and source of truth for your web3 community members. A community on Common consists of a crypto-native forum, seamless governance integrations, & more. Check out the [product features](/commonwealth/readme/product-features.md) page for more information.

**Step 1: Selecting Community Type**

Once you are on the “Community Type” page, choose which chain you'd like to create your community on.

The chains that we currently support for token forum creation are:

* EVM Compatible chains (if your don't see yours email <mark@common.xyz>)
* Cosmos
* Solana

**Please Note:** to get the most out of the Common platform we recommend launching your community on Base.

**Step 2: Community Information**

This is the step where you can input the information specific to your community. All of the below information can be changed later.&#x20;

**Please Note:** The community name that you create during this step will become the community's url. You are unable to change the community url yourself.&#x20;

In order to change the community url at a different date please email <mitchy@common.xyz>.
