How it works

Launch a coin

• Name, ticker and artwork are all you need. Everything else has a default: the pair starts on SOL.
• The ticker takes 2 to 8 letters or numbers (A to Z, 0 to 9).
• Card art: PNG, JPG, WEBP or GIF up to 12 MB. Square works best. You can also drop the image on the box.
• The pair panel filters by Memes, Stocks, Collector and Base (SOL and USDC), and searches by symbol or name.
• More options holds your website, X link, an optional initial buy and its slippage.
• The exact initial buy and slippage show before your wallet opens.
• Creating a coin means you accept the content rules: no scams, impersonation, hate or stolen art.
• Anyone can report a coin from its Coin details. Coins that break the content rules are hidden.
• Home's Launched on pump.fun list shows real launches on Solana mainnet, newest first.

Pairs

• The pair is what your coin is priced and bought in: SOL, USDC, a meme or collector token, or a tokenized stock.
• The pair picks the card. Each pair has exactly one design, so choosing the pair and the design is one choice. DOGE gets Imperial Gold.
• SOL is pump.fun's default pair and gets the One Piece design. USDC gets Duel Masters.
• Under the pair panel: the exact mint, its issuer and when it was reviewed. The mint is checked again before wallet review.
• The pair funds the optional initial buy, so changing the pair clears it. SOL also pays network and account costs.
• Stock pairs use tokenized quote assets. They grant no equity: your coin is not company shares.
• Each quote asset has its own issuer terms, availability and risks.
• Demo pairs use no real assets.

Your card

• The design is printed on the card and kept for good. Market cap never changes it.
• The token trades. Its creator holds the separate one-of-one card made at launch.
• Picking another pair keeps your coin details and artwork; only the pair and its card change.
• Designs shows one sample coin in each pair's design, grouped as Memes, Stocks, Collector and Base.
• Designs with no pair are kept by the coins already made with them. They are not offered for new coins.
• In the demo the card goes into your demo collection. On mainnet it is permanent once your coin is created.
• There are no card sales, bids, auctions or royalties. The card NFT gives no token ownership or stock rights.

Fees

• Launch a Card charges no platform fee.
• A mainnet launch pays Solana network and priority fees, account rent for the new accounts, the Metaplex NFT fee for the card, and pump.fun's protocol and creator fees inside any initial buy.
• Coin creation and card issuance are paid mainnet transactions. Exact costs show before your wallet asks.
• In the demo, the 0.02 test SOL launch cost stands in for those network fees and account rent. Demo trades pay 1%.
• Every fee in one table: Fees.

The demo

• Mainnet launches are not open yet. The demo uses test SOL: no real coin or card is created.
• Pick a handle to get 100 test SOL. No wallet needed.
• Your test account lives in this browser. Clearing site data ends access to it.
• Balances, the bonding curve and trades are simulated. Each quote asset has its own demo balance.
• Activity includes demo bots: simulated traders, marked bot.
• Portfolio holds your coins and your one-of-one cards. Value is test SOL plus your coins; 24h is their price move.
• Under 5 test SOL, the faucet in your wallet menu gives 50 more.
• Start over leaves your handle for good. Its coins and cards stay with it, and nobody can enter it again.
• Only demo coins have cards here. Coins on Solana devnet or mainnet don't, yet.

Trading

• The price follows a pump.fun bonding curve. When the curve sells out, the coin graduates to a PumpSwap pool. The demo's curve is simulated.
• Bonding curve shows how far a coin is from graduating.
• Each step on the chart is a trade. The first buy starts the chart and the trade list.
• A range with no trades stays empty. Choose a longer one.
• Check the price impact, fee and max slippage before you confirm a trade.
• Demo trades pay a 1% fee in test SOL. USD is shown at a fixed $150 per SOL, a test rate. Market data is simulated, not live quotes.

Wallet launch

1. Pick your coin's pair: its card design comes with it. Add your token name, ticker and artwork.
2. Connect your creator wallet and sign an ownership message. It starts your launch session and spends nothing.
3. Review the token creation costs and any initial buy, then approve the pump.fun transaction in your wallet.
4. After the token is verified, approve its one-of-one card NFT to that same wallet. Some wallets sign both in one approval.
5. If the token lands before the card, finish the card from Launch. Your token is not created again.

What your wallet will show

Launch lists what the wallet prompt will carry before it opens:

• How many approvals are left: one for the coin and its card, or the card after the coin.
• The network fee. The exact amount is in your review.
• With an initial buy: a new token account for your coin, and the coin marked unverified. That's normal for a coin created seconds ago.
• With a tokenized stock quote: a note that the stock token has issuer controls.
• A second signer for each new address. This page created it, and it can't move your other funds.
• The card's artwork and details locked for good. Some wallets call this an authority change.
• Phantom may say this site is new. Check that the address bar reads launchacard.fun.

If your wallet warns that this site could be malicious, don't approve. Reject it there; nothing is sent or charged.

Connecting a wallet authorizes no payment or transaction.

Saved launches

• While new mainnet launches are closed, you can still finish a saved launch.
• Connect the same creator wallet on Launch to find it.
• If the coin was created before its card, finish the card there. The coin is not created again.
• A launch prepared in another browser can't be signed here. Discard the unused draft about a minute after it was prepared, then launch again.
• Your form draft lives only in this browser.

Calm motion

Stops the sky, the card turns and the ticker. It starts on when your device asks for reduced motion.
