Everything you need to know about Launchpad
What is Launchpad?
Launchpad is the first website-only launch and swap platform on Solana. All buying, selling, and launching happens exclusively on thelaunchpadsol.com. Tokens launched on Launchpad cannot be traded through Axiom, pump.fun, or any other external tool. If you want to trade, you come to the site like everyone else.
The Problem
The current state of Solana memecoin trading is broken. Thin liquidity gets extracted by multi-walleters and bot operators within seconds of a launch. Real buyers don't stand a chance against automated snipers on memescope. Devs bundle supply across dozens of wallets and dump at migration. Launchpad fixes this by restricting all activity to our website. Same interface, same rules, level playing field.
Website-Only Swaps
All trading happens on our site. External tools, bots, snipers, and aggregators cannot interact with Launchpad tokens. When you sign up, you're given a wallet on our platform. Send Solana to this wallet and use your balance to swap. This ensures one user = one wallet.
Key Features
Starting Market Cap
All coins start at a $10,000 market cap. This prevents anyone from scooping too much supply at extremely low prices and ensures fairer price discovery from the start.
Minimum Launch Buy
The minimum buy at launch is 1 SOL. This ensures creators have skin in the game and prevents spam deploys that clutter the platform.
Fees
All fees are rotated directly back into the coin. They are not extracted from the ecosystem. This creates constant buy pressure on every token traded on the platform. The sell fee is intentionally higher than the buy fee to discourage quick flips and reward holders who stay in positions longer. Every fee goes back into the token, not into our pockets.

FAQ
Why can't I trade on Axiom/pump.fun/other platforms?
That's the entire point. By restricting trading to our website, we eliminate bots, snipers, and multi-wallet manipulation. Everyone trades under the same conditions.
Why is the sell fee higher than the buy fee?
To discourage fast extraction and reward conviction. The 5% sell fee makes quick dumping expensive while the 1% buy fee keeps entry cheap. Both fees go back into the coin.
What happens to the fees?
All fees are rotated back into the coin they were collected from. Nothing goes to the Launchpad team. This creates ongoing buy pressure for every token on the platform.
Is my wallet custodial?
Yes. When you sign up you're given a platform wallet. This is how we enforce one user = one wallet and prevent multi-walleting. Send SOL to your deposit address to start trading.
Can I withdraw my Solana?
Yes. You can withdraw your SOL balance from your platform wallet at any time.
