how launch.free works

Most launchpads mint a coin and walk away. On launch.free, every coin launches on a real pump.fun ↗ bonding curve and picks a liquidity mode— a rule, fixed at launch, that decides what the coin's creator fees do for its holders. The mode is shown everywhere the token appears, so buyers know where the fees go before they buy.

The seven modes: staking streams fees to stakers as SOL, buyback & burn buys the coin back and burns it, buyback & lock buys it back and time-locks it, stock-backed buys a tokenized stock and pays it to holders, sol rewards reflects SOL straight to holders, jackpot pools fees into a provably fair prize draw, and airdropsends a share of the launch's dev buy to $LAUNCH holders (chapter 04).

Everything on the site updates live — new launches, trades, and every action a mode engine takes stream to every open page over websockets. No refreshes, no polling, no stale numbers.

Launching lives at /launch and takes three steps: pick a mode, describe the coin, and sign one message. The signature is authorization, not a transaction — it moves nothing. launch.free's dev wallet then builds and pays for the pump.fun create transaction and places a small first buy so the market opens with a real trade.

1. 01
   Pick a liquidity mode

   One of seven. Each mode has its own dials — cadence, lock length, stock, drip speed, jackpot interval, airdrop share — set here and fixed at launch.

2. 02
   Describe the coin

   Name, ticker, image, description, optional links. This is the token's on-chain identity, pinned to IPFS.

3. 03
   Sign one wallet message

   A server-issued, single-use message. No gas, no approval, no SOL leaves your wallet — it records your wallet as the launcher.

4. 04
   It trades from the first second

   A standard pump.fun bonding curve, same terms as any pump.fun token. The mode engine attaches the moment the launch confirms.

graduation

When a curve completes, the token graduates to PumpSwap automatically— pump.fun's AMM. Modes keep working after graduation: fee claiming and buybacks switch from the curve to PumpSwap without any action from anyone.

pump.fun pays creator feeson every trade of every coin. Each launch.free launch gets its own dedicated on-chain creator identity, so its fees accrue separately from every other coin's — per-mint, cleanly attributable, verifiable on-chain.

A keeper wakes each live coin's mode on its configured cadence. A cycle is always the same shape: claim the accrued creator fees, then spend them the way the mode promises — buy and burn, buy and lock, swap to a stock and distribute, reflect SOL, feed the jackpot, or fold into the staking stream.

Attribution

per-mint creator identity

each coin's fees are its own — never pooled across coins

Execution

claim → act, atomically recorded

every step is persisted before sending and idempotent — a crashed cycle resumes, never double-pays

Visibility

live on the token page

every claim, buy, burn, lock, and payout appears in the mode engine feed with its transaction link

Every action the engine takes is broadcast live to every open page and recorded with its transaction signature — the token page shows the engine working in real time, and every claim is checkable on Solscan.

staking

Holders stake the coin and creator fees stream to them as SOL. Fees fold into a reward stream on a smoothing window the launcher picks — fast (2m), steady (15m), or slow (1h) — and stakers accrue continuously in proportion to their weight. Locking multiplies weight: no lock 1x, 7 days 1.25x, 30 days 1.5x, 90 days 2x. See chapter 05.

buyback & burn

On a cadence of 1m, 5m, 15m, 1h, or 4h, claimed fees buy the coin back — on its curve before graduation, on PumpSwap after — and the bought tokens are burned on-chain. Supply strictly shrinks; every burn is a verifiable transaction.

buyback & lock

Same buyback, different fate: bought tokens are locked in a Streamflow ↗ vesting contract for the period fixed at launch — 30d, 90d, 180d, or 1 year. Supply comes off the market without being destroyed, and the lock is publicly inspectable on-chain.

stock-backed

The launcher pairs the coin with a tokenized stock — xStocks like TSLAx, AAPLx, NVDAx — picked at launch. Each cycle (1m, 1h, 4h, or 24h), claimed fees swap SOL into that stock via Jupiter and distribute it pro-rata to holders. Hold the memecoin, accumulate the stock.

sol rewards

The simplest promise: claimed fees are paid out as SOL, pro-rata to holders, on the configured cadence. No swaps, no intermediary asset — reflections, done properly on-chain.

jackpot

Fees pool into a pot. Each round is commit-reveal: the engine first freezes a holder snapshot and a future slot and publishes their hash, then derives the winner from that slot's blockhash — weighted by holdings — and pays the pot. The full recipe is published with each draw so anyone can re-derive the winner and verify the draw was fair.

airdrop

At launch, a share of the coin's dev buy — 25%, 50%, 75%, or 100%, chosen by the launcher — is airdropped to $LAUNCH holders (chapter 07). New coins seed themselves into the hands of the platform's community from block one.

On a staking-mode token's page, the staking panel shows the farm — total staked, the SOL reward pool, your accrued rewards — and lets you act on it.

1. 01
   Stake

   Enter an amount, pick a lock tier, and approve one transfer from your wallet into the coin's escrow. Your position starts accruing immediately.

2. 02
   Lock for multipliers

   No lock earns 1x. Locking 7d/30d/90d multiplies your weight 1.25x/1.5x/2x. Restaking extends the lock on your entire position from now — even a tiny top-up.

3. 03
   Claim

   Accrued rewards are paid in SOL, on demand, straight to your wallet.

4. 04
   Unstake

   After any lock expires, withdraw returns your full stake and settles outstanding rewards in the same action.

pump.fun pays creator fees on trading volume. On a normal launchpad they're a founder's income; on launch.free they are the coin's engine fuel — the mode decides, publicly and permanently, who benefits.

Every payout is recorded per wallet, per mint, with its transaction signature — visible on the token page as it happens.

$LAUNCHis launch.free's platform token. It's pinned to the top of every token list on the site, and it's the beneficiary of every airdrop-modelaunch: a share of each airdrop coin's dev buy lands in $LAUNCH holders' wallets at launch.

Holding $LAUNCH is a standing claim on the platform's deal flow — the more coins launch in airdrop mode, the more new tokens find their way to $LAUNCH holders, automatically, proportional to holdings.

custody

Trading, launching, and holding are non-custodial: no deposits, no pooled custody, no session that can act without you. Launch transactions are paid by launch.free's dev wallet — its own SOL, never yours. The one exception is staking escrow, which is custodial in v1 and disclosed as such wherever it appears (chapter 05).

what you actually sign

Every write — launching, trading, staking, posting, following — requires your wallet's signature on a plain text message. The only transactions you ever sign are ones that move your own assets: a trade you asked for, or a stake deposit you initiated.
