Launch types
Open Launch a coin, fill in the coin (name, ticker, image, links), pick a market, then launch. Every coin has a 1,000,000,000 supply and no mint or freeze authority.
| Where | How it trades | Tax | Liquidity |
|---|---|---|---|
| Valhalla pool | A Meteora pool you seed (SANTA, GP, GLDX or a listed pair). Or a curve: the whole supply one-sided from a $5K market cap, nothing to seed. | 1–10% on every transfer | Locked forever or burned (your choice) |
| Raydium LaunchLab | A bonding curve from $5K; moves to a Raydium pool when the curve sells out. | 1–5% on every transfer | LP burned at graduation |
| Meteora curve | Meteora's dynamic bonding curve, $5K to about $73.5K, then a Meteora pool. Can carry a transfer rule (max per wallet, trading hours…). | none | Locked |
| pump.fun | pump.fun's own curve, made by pump's program (in pump.fun search from its first block). Pair it with SOL or any pump.fun coin by pasting its address. | none | PumpSwap at graduation |
What a launch costs
- Valhalla pools and LaunchLab: free. No SANTA burn, no launch fee: these coins pay the platform per transaction instead (see the tax).
- Meteora curve and pump.fun: 20,000 SANTA burned in the launch transaction.
- Solana rent: about 0.035 SOL for the coin, its metadata and its pool — paid to Solana, not to us.
- Dev buy: a 1% site fee on the amount (half buys SANTA, half buys GP and burns it).
The tax, and where it goes
Coins on Valhalla pools and LaunchLab are Token-2022 coins with a transfer fee: every transfer pays it — every pool, every DEX, wallet to wallet — enforced by the token program itself. About every ten minutes the site collects it, sells it for SANTA and splits that SANTA:
| Share | Goes to |
|---|---|
| The first 1% of the tax | The platform: 0.5% buys SANTA and burns it, 0.5% is platform revenue. |
| The rest × 20% | The SANTA floor: permanent SANTA/GP liquidity the site owns. |
| The rest × 80% | Your coin's mode. |
Example: a 3% tax. Of every 3 SANTA it buys, 1 is the platform's (0.5 burned, 0.5 revenue); of the other 2, 0.4 goes to the floor and 1.6 to the mode. Every burn and payment is a public transaction anyone can check.
Tax modes
| Mode | What the coin's share does |
|---|---|
| Burn | Burns the SANTA. |
| Holder rewards | Pays the SANTA to holders, pro rata, once a day at 00:00 UTC (collected on the claims page). |
| Buyback | Buys your coin back and burns it. SANTA pairs only. |
| Casino bankroll | Buys your coin back and sends it to your bankroll wallet. SANTA pairs only. More below. |
| Secret Santa | The whole pot to one random holder, every hour (provable draw). |
| Boss | Buys hit the boss, sells heal it; graduation is the kill and the loot pays the fighters. |
| Barrows Set | One chest shared by 2–6 sibling coins, opened hourly for wallets holding every piece. |
| GE item | Each day a real OSRS item's Grand Exchange price decides: up pays holders, down buys the coin back, flat burns. |
| Dev cut | 10–50% of the tax paid to you in SANTA; the rest burned. |
Casino bankroll
Made for game and casino tokens: the coin's own tax keeps buying it back into a wallet the game spends from — drop parties, events, prizes, free-to-play rewards.
- Launch on a Valhalla pool paired with SANTA, and pick the Casino bankroll mode.
- Leave Bankroll wallet empty to use your launch wallet, or paste the wallet your game pays from.
- To start the bankroll big, add a dev buy (up to 99% of supply on a Valhalla pool); it lands in your launch wallet — use that wallet as the bankroll, or move it there.
- From then on, every sweep buys your coin back with the tax and sends it to the bankroll. The coin page links the bankroll wallet so holders can watch it grow.
pump.fun creator fee
pump.fun pays a 0.30% creator fee on every trade. On a coin launched here it is split 0.20% to you, 0.10% to the platform, set with pump's own fee sharing at launch and locked for good by pump. Collect yours on pump.fun with Distribute (the site also pays it out every hour). A coin paired with another pump.fun coin asks for one more signature right after it is created to lock that split; the coin is listed once it lands, and if the prompt is missed, Launch a coin offers to finish it.
Dev buy
- Valhalla pools: up to 99% of supply (a seeded pool: up to 99× the seed).
- Curves (LaunchLab, Meteora curve, pump.fun): up to what the curve holds — a buy that takes the whole curve graduates the coin at launch.
After launch
- Opening fee (Valhalla pools, optional): 35% falling to 2% over 8 minutes, so snipers pay the early buyers.
- Tutorial Island → Mainland: new coins start on Tutorial Island and graduate to the Mainland board at a $15K market cap.
- Your dashboard: pool fees, creator fees and claims; locked LP still earns its swap fees.
- Telegram: launches and graduations are announced in the channel.
Good to know
- Tickers are not unique. Any ticker can launch; coins that share one are linked by their address.
- The site never holds your funds. Your wallet signs every launch, buy and sell; the only keys the site holds are the ones that collect and spend the tax as described above.
- Everything is on chain: each coin page shows its pool, tax, mode, burns and payouts.
