Launching a token

What the launch form does, how splits work, and what is permanent.

The launch form on /launch collects two things: the token (name, symbol, art, description) and the fee routes. The review step shows the exact shareholder list that goes on chain, simulates the launch on the live program for free, and only then lets you sign.

  • Launchpad. pump.fun, on Solana. The creator fee is pump.fun’s own, tiered by market cap.
  • Recipients. Up to five. Type a handle, paste a profile link, or enter an email, a domain or a wallet address; the kind is recognised for you. A handle that does not exist is refused before anything is signed.
  • Shares. Each recipient gets a percentage of the creator fee. The shares may add up to less than 100%; whatever is not routed stays with your wallet, as its own line. Klik takes 5% of what is routed, as its own line, in the open.
  • Two signatures. One for the coin, one for the split. New recipient wallets are funded with the rent minimum (0.0009 SOL each) in the same transaction, because the program cannot pay an account that does not exist.
  • Permanence. The program locks the split after it is written. Nobody can change it afterwards, including you. Check the list before you sign.
Launching needs a Solana wallet with about 0.02 SOL for rent and fees, plus any first buy. Every transaction is simulated before it is signed; if the simulation fails, nothing is sent.
