LAUNCHKEYBY VET.O Launch a coin
How to launch a coin on Solana.
Launchkey runs on Raydium LaunchLab. You connect your own Solana wallet. You sign everything yourself. Launchkey never holds your keys or funds. This page walks the whole launch, step by step. When you are ready, start the launch.
1. Connect Your Wallet
Connect the Solana wallet you want to launch from.
Every wallet is called a key. Each key gets a permanent number. Your key carries a public grade based on its launch record.
2. Fill In Your Coin’s Details
Enter a name, a ticker, a description, and a logo. You can also add a website and an X link.
Every Launchkey mint address ends in “key.”
3. Choose Your Pair
The pair is the token your coin trades against. SOL is the default. You can also choose from the full catalog. Every key can use the catalog from its first launch. For a custom pair, enter any Solana token’s mint address.
The page shows the graduation point for your chosen pair. For SOL pairs, it is about $8,806. Graduation means completing the bonding curve and migrating to the open pool.
4. Choose Whether To Make A Dev Buy
A dev buy is optional. You can pay in the pair token or SOL. The dev buy happens in the same transaction as the launch. Your coin’s public file records the dev buy.
5. Choose Whether To Lock Your Dev Buy
You can choose to lock 100% of your dev buy through Jupiter Lock. You sign the lock in your wallet.
The coin’s file reads the lock from the chain. If the lock does not land, the file prints no lock.
6. Review The Fees
FeeRate
Launchkey platform fee0.5%
Creator fee0.5%
Raydium fee0.25%
All-in listed rate1.25%
Launchkey sets the creator fee at 0.5%. This is the LaunchLab protocol maximum. The launching key can claim it.
Founding keys keep the 0.5% platform fee for the life of the service under the published terms. The standard platform fee after founding is 1%.
The listed 1.25% is the platform fee, the creator fee, and the Raydium fee in the table. Protocol, pool, network, and third-party charges are separate, and they are shown before you sign.
Who gets founding terms? A founding key is a wallet that completes a launch during the founding window. The window closes at the later of 90 days after public launch opens or the 250th completed launch. Founding season seats go to the first 25 keys to complete an outside launch.
7. Sign The Launch
Sign the launch in your own wallet. You also sign any optional lock in your wallet. Launchkey never takes custody of your keys or funds.
8. Read Your Coin’s Public File
Every launch gets a permanent public file. The file prints the coin’s birth, its pair, the dev buy, the key’s number and grade, any lock, the ending, any findings with evidence, and the coin’s standing in the two firsts.
9. Understand Your Key’s Grade
PROBATION. Every new key starts here. It means there is not enough history. It does not mean misconduct.
PROVEN. Your key needs no adverse record. It must also meet either condition: one launch completed its curve without collapsing from its peak; or, across at least two launches, one completed its curve or one is still trading.
PILLAR. Three or more launches, one graduation, one launch that reached a $100K all-time high, no adverse record, and a record at least 30 days old.
Launch listings are newest first. Grades do not buy position. The Ladder ranks keys separately by their records.
Correcting the record. Message @launchkeyfun on X with evidence. Corrections are appended. Earlier entries are never overwritten. Unsupported findings are withdrawn. Grades are recalculated.
10. Understand The Two Firsts
The Founding Pot is funded by a platform seed and a share of platform fees. It pays nothing until the seed is real. House coins never qualify.
MilestoneAward
First founding coin to graduate50% of the pot when the milestone falls
First founding coin to reach $1M100% of the pot when the milestone falls
The $1M milestone uses the desk’s recorded all-time high. One coin can win both awards.
Awards are reserved when earned. A prize never exceeds what the pot holds. Anything not paid out stays in the pot.
The pot lives in one public wallet. The homepage reads its balance from that wallet. If the homepage and chain disagree, the chain is right.
Awards are paid after Launchkey checks the milestone. Each payout prints on the coin’s file.
11. Earn Credit Toward Your Next Launch
A founding coin can earn its key an Earned Launch credit. The coin must graduate and finish clean. That means no qualifying exit in the seven days after graduation under the published methodology.
The credit is $100. Opening Week is the seven days beginning with the first outside launch. During Opening Week, the credit is $200.
Each key can have one active credit. It expires after 30 days. The credit covers platform fees only. It cannot be taken as cash.
