Launch · two ways in

Launch a coin

A meme launch is instant: name the coin, pick its fee and pair, state your first buy. A developer coin is reviewed after it launches. The standing orders apply to both, and each one says who enforces it.

You are here

Meme launch

Open to anyone, with no review. New coins launch on Raydium LaunchLab, paired with SOL, with one 2% trading fee on the curve; there is nothing to pick but the coin and your first buy. Your creator share, 10% of the pad's 1.75%, is paid to you with the normal payouts.

Developer coin

For a coin that is for something. Launch under the standard split first, then apply. A person checks the project against the published checklist. If it is approved, its creator share can be raised to 50%, paid on a 3-day delay, and it gets a Reviewed stamp. Reviewed means checked, not endorsed.

Part 2 · Fee and pair

Trading fee

2%

New coins launch on Raydium LaunchLab, on the pad's own platform, with one fee on every trade on the curve: 2% in all. 1.75% goes to the pad's fee vault on Raydium, which the pad's fee wallet claims, and 0.25% goes to Raydium. There is nothing to pick. The rate and the wallet that claims it are set in the pad's platform config on Raydium LaunchLab, and the team's admin key can change them.

The pad's fee wallet claims the pad's 1.75% from its fee vault on Raydium, and our bot splits it six ways: holders 30% (every 10 minutes, weighted by time held), traders 15% (weekly), the weekly drop 10%, the creator 10%, the team 10% and the burn 25%. The split is carried out by our bot and is not enforced on chain. The burn share is held, and nothing is bought or burned with it, until the pad's own coin has graduated. Payouts come from trading fees: with no trading there is nothing to pay out.

After graduation Raydium's pool fees apply; see the coin's page.

There is no opening sniper fee on a Raydium coin: the first trades pay the same 2% as every later one.

What the pad's 1.75% means on a trade of 1,000 SOL: 17.50 SOL, divided like this by our bot. Raydium's 0.25%, 2.50 SOL, goes to Raydium.

The curve starts at a market cap of about 28 SOL (about $2,124 at today's SOL price).

It graduates when it has sold 793,100,000 tokens and raised 85 SOL, at a market cap of about 411 SOL (about $31,212 at today's SOL price). The coin then moves to a Raydium CPMM pool, and its liquidity is locked through Raydium's LP lock.

The curve is set in SOL, so its dollar figures move with the SOL price.

The launch itself costs about 0.021 SOL in account rent and network fees, on top of any first buy (about 0.0255 SOL with one: it also opens your token account and the fee vaults). The first trade after a launch with no first buy may pay about 0.0015 SOL once, as rent for a fee vault Raydium's program opens.

Pair

New coins launch on Raydium LaunchLab, paired with SOL. Coins launched here earlier on Meteora keep their pairs and their rules.

Fees, rewards and rebates for this coin are all paid in SOL.

Paste the token's mint. If a route exists it is selected; if not, you can ask for one.

Stock pairs open one by one as each token is approved on Meteora. The issuer of a stock token can pause, freeze or take back its token, which can stop or drain the payout pot for coins paired with it. Stock tokens are not offered to US persons or in some other regions.

Part 3 · Your first buy
%

You buy 10,000,000 tokens (1% of the 1,000,000,000 supply).

Cost, including the 2% fee
0.288 SOL
The transaction puts in exactly
0.288 SOL

The price moves up as you buy, which is why this is a little more than 1% of the starting value (0.28 SOL) plus the fee. Worked out from the LaunchLab curve at this site's fee. Your review shows the figure read from the chain; the pool is made in the same transaction, so the price cannot move before your buy.

The tokens go straight to your wallet with no lock. The coin page shows how much you bought.
