Run a launchpad
Create a launchpad
Chain, size, curve, fees, branding — every decision the wizard asks for and what it does.
Creating a launchpad is free and takes a few minutes. Go to the wizard, connect a wallet, and work through the steps below. Nothing is charged; the transactions you sign pay network fees only.
1. Chain
Pick Solana or an EVM chain. This is fixed forever — wallets, fees and every token launched on your page follow it. See Chains for what differs.
2. Size
The size preset sets where coins start and where they graduate. Three presets, or set the caps yourself.
| Preset | Graduates at | Roughly raises | For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small | 100 SOL mcap | 34 SOL | A first launchpad, a test, a tight community |
| Standard | 250 SOL mcap | 85 SOL | About where pump.fun graduates — a familiar shape |
| Big | 2,000 SOL mcap | 589 SOL | An audience that already exists |
On a USDC launchpad the same three presets are denominated in dollars, with Standard graduating near the $69k mark. On EVM the caps are in USD.
The wizard blocks any configuration whose graduation threshold falls under 10 SOL (or 750 USDC). Below that, Meteora's auto-migration keepers ignore the pool and you would have to migrate every coin by hand.
3. Curve shape
Three shapes, all reaching the same final market cap by different routes. Flat rises gently and raises the least; steep is cheap early and expensive late, raising the most.
| Shape | Feels like | Raise for identical caps |
|---|---|---|
| Flat | A steady climb — early buyers are not enormously rewarded | 103 SOL |
| Balanced | The default. Recognisable to anyone who has used a launchpad | 163 SOL |
| Steep | Very cheap at the start, expensive near the end | 217 SOL |
The wizard draws the curve live from the real program math, not an approximation, so what you see is what launches.
4. Trading fee and the creator's cut
The trading fee is charged on every buy and sell, from 0.1% to 10%, default 1%. Of it, 25% is commission and the rest splits between you and the creator of each coin, by a slider you set from 0 to 70.
On EVM your number is a floor rather than the fee: each creator picks their own token's fee at launch, from your floor up to 10%. Solana cannot do this — the fee lives in the launchpad's immutable config, so there your number is the fee.
5. Branding
Name, handle, tagline, colours, logo. All of it is editable later, unlike everything above — see Branding.
6. Sign
On Solana you sign two transactions: one creates the fee vault that will hold your share, the other creates the launchpad config. The vault goes first, because the config records the vault address permanently and cannot be edited afterwards. On EVM there is no config transaction — one free signature proves you own the wallet that will receive the fees.
Chain, quote currency, curve shape, market caps, trading fee, creator's cut, and the wallet that receives fees. These live in an immutable on-chain config by design: a launchpad owner who could quietly change the fees after coins launched would be rugging their own users. Branding, copy and socials stay editable forever.
